[ there's a bit of dry, relieved laughing before the video feed focuses on the Doctor. he looks tired, worn out, but bubbling with happiness.

he sobers quickly, flustered, fumbling with his hands. ]

Right! So, had to knock around on my own for a bit, testing out that bracelet theory. [ he makes a face. ] Thought it was a bit of a myth, but actually--true!

Looks like you really do fade into the crowd once you take it off, so be careful with that. Yes, yes, I know, probably a few people already figured that one out. Best to get different experiences with it, though! Never know if there's an anomaly running about, and chasing down anomalies is a specialty of mine. Well, space-time anomalies. But I'll settle for normal anomalies for now. (Is that an oxymoron?)

[ he claps his hands once, moving towards the Odin kitchen. ]

Right! So, what's new with you all? I mean, could go look out and check up on every one of you, but my legs're about to give out and I'm beat from what seems to be walking too much.

Anyone got some boots? Size 10?

No. Nevermind. I'll get myself another pair.

W-Wait, what do you mean by fade?

Doctor! [See, as cool as the Doctor's ninth incarnation seems to be, it's nice to have the good old bowtie-wearing Doctor that Rory is familiar with back.] I've just met you. Another you, I mean. A previous you. One without a bowtie.

But where have you been?...This you.

Fade into the crowd? What does that mean?

[darkbreak]

[...Can you just not use the word anomaly. PLEASE.]

You just had to test it out for yourself? [Man, you're almost as bad as Sora on the curiousity level.]

[action] if this is alright?

[brighthearted]

[ There is this young woman in the kitchen, who turns to blink curiously at the doorway when she hears the babbling rambling voice coming closer. Have a curious look when you walk in, Doctor. ]

[wristbands]

You actually went and tested something like that yourself?

audio;

[consults]

Nothing at all.

[other than the fact that his enemy has waltzed in Asgard along with Irene. Yeah, nothing at all.]

Blending into the crowd may prove to be useful.

[callmegenius]

Do you always jump this many topics at once?

video.

[doctors]

[ oh man dude he missed you ] About time you showed up again. Everyone was beginning to think you got sent home.

So, those bracelets can seriously make you disappear? [ curious. quite curious. ]

[amajestictale]

Fade! Well, into the crowd. You've seen those grey, shifting persons around, haven't you?

Rory the Roman! [ he smiles brightly, with a laugh-- though, as soon as he latches onto what he's saying, it fades. ]

Which one without a bowtie? There're ten others, only two of me wore bowties. Me and... well, Second. Did he have celery on his suit? Long curled hair? Tie and suit?

Like I said, testing out a theory. Had to make sure this bracelet rumor was true.

[amajestictale]

It means you don't remember who you are and become one of the faceless. The natives.

permavideo;

[amajestictale]

[ NOPE ]

Well, of course! Better safe than sorry, really.

... actually that may not apply in this situation.

[action] yup!

[amajestictale]

[ when he shuts off the video feed, he turns to see her. ]

Oh, brilliant!

Hello, I'm the Doctor. You must be new in the house.

permavideo;

[amajestictale]

Well, why not? Might as well do something with my boring, in-the-right-order time. Nothing like knocking out a few myths!

audio;

[amajestictale]

Hello again, Sherlock.

[ oblivious to the T. ]

Planning on making your own hypothesis, are you?

permavideo;

[amajestictale]

Sorry, what?

Yes! Yes, I do. Sometimes. Only when there's a lot to say and a short time to say it in.

permavideo;

[amajestictale]

[ watson :D ] Me, sent home? Ha! Never.

Looks like it. Not so much as disappear as become a hivemind with the rest of the natives. Well, maybe not a hivemind. Maybe. Not sure there's a term for it, really.

permavideo;

[callmegenius]

Then has anyone ever told you it's kinda confusing? I mean, I followed it. But jeez, take a breath.

permavideo;

[darkbreak]

[ALL THE FUUS. And a snort.]

Ya think?

[He heaves a sigh and rubs his face with a hand. There were so many that went missing and some that never returned (or did without their memories), that it's a little nice to be sort of recognized by someone.]

Still, at least you did come back. I suppose a 'Welcome back to the world of the conscious' is in order.

[amajestictale]

[ HEY ] I took a breath!

Besides, I don't slow down. Keep up!

[amajestictale]

[ there's a bit of a pause, and he looks down, straightening. his voice is quiet, but grave. ]

You were worried. Not just for me, but for others--how many have been missing, Riku?

[callmegenius]

Yeah, yeah. I'm keeping up.

[Small cocky smile]

What's the big deal about disappearing, though?

[wristbands]

Yeah, but... what would've happened if things didn't work out?

( video. )

[impostures]

What made you put the bracelet back on?
