The Return

[nevermindtherunning]

Who: the Doctor, open
Where: the edge of the woods, by the ocean side. Southwest of the island
When: Day 34
What: The Doctor returns, and is surprised to find himself in a somewhat familiar location.

At first there were echoes of crashing waves in the distance, growing louder and more distinct when the Doctor finally opens his eyes. Odd... I don't remember landing-- He startles, sitting up only to feel something on his wrist and he quickly recognizes the communicator.

"I've been here before." But he didn't remember how he had left or how he had returned. Nor did he remember any events up to this point, as if his memory had been tampered. Resting his elbows on his knees, he sat there looking around before running hands through his hair.

After a while, he taps on the communicator, sending out a video to the network, "Hi! Hello! Anyone out there?"

"You don't have to." He sees that look, he's seen it before in so many people. She wasn't going to fully trust him, not yet.

"I'll never take advantage of you and I'll never harm you. I'm your ally and hopefully friend. I don't know how else to convince you that, besides, it looks like we're going to be stuck here for a while."

She crossed her legs. It was an uncharacteristically feminine gesture on her part. "Between you and me, darling," she said, deciding to be merciful, "allying yourself with me is tantamount to social suicide around here. I'm not a popular person. I speak my mind. I'm not a follower. And I don't suffer fools."

And there were plenty of fools around here.

"I rather fancy you a bit, so this is a warning. A genuine warning for your own protection. I'm not a valuable friend to have."

He grins, meeting his eyes and full of mirth, "I'm typically a good judge of character and I like you. So... Danger? Hah! I walk on the wild side. I laugh in the face of danger.... Oh," He pauses, running his tongue along the tops of his teeth, "There's a Lion King quote for you."

"But I'm not here to have tea parties, I got out and I want back out. I have enough on my plate as it is." Such as the prophecy foretold he was to die at some point. He had to figure that much out.

He wanted to run so very badly.

Mina had no idea what this 'Lion King' was, but really, she didn't understand half of what these people from the future were saying at any given moment, so it no longer fazed her. And she no longer bothered to ask.

He was mental. Absolutely mental. And for some godforsaken reason, she liked it.

"We all want out," she agreed. "We're just not coordinated enough to work together for it."
