[ the video flickers on to a table--it looks to be in Odin, where the Eleventh Doctor is sitting with one leg slung over the other, what looks to be a Scrabble handbook in one hand.

there's a game currently in progress, letters clearly seen. except they're a bit different from what you might qualify as letters. he flips to the last page with a huff and sets it back down, then laces his fingers together. ]

Now, if you lot have played Scrabble before, good! If not, you really ought to expand your board game database, it's really quite fun! Better than Monopoly--who likes Monopoly? Monopolies were outlawed for a reason.

Rubbish game.

[ oh, right, he should stop rambling. ]

So! Me and... myselves, Ninth and Tenth, are in a bit of a pickle: should "of Rassilon" be acceptable as a suffix? It's as commonplace as "ing" in the English language.

Sort of. Maybe. It's got to count.

I'm sure of it.

[ ooc: the other two Doctors, (andsowasi) and (tardisblue) will also be responding to comments, so don't fear if we skip someone! ]

Comments

[amajestictale]

Really?

Staff... ist. [ Staff of Rassilon... ] No translation's perfect, no, but still--ist?

Tyler BUTTING IN video

[badwolf]

I think I'd agree with him on that one. Y'never use it often enough. S'more of an -ist, than -ing.

[amajestictale]

[ 8( ]

Oi!

[tardisblue]

I don't think anything of Rassilon makes sense. That includes cheating of Rassilon. Honestly, I turn my back for two minutes.

[amajestictale]

Conferring with the peanut gallery isn't cheating.

Rassilon didn't like board games much, either way.

[tardisblue]

Which is why you didn't ask when we were paying attention. Seriously.

Omega liked board games, but it's not like we're tacking of Omega on the end of everything.

[amajestictale]

Asking attention from you two, it's like asking attention from two cats! And not the nice kind.

It's also not everything.

[tardisblue]

What? Name me the not nice kind of cats and we'll discuss this like two rational adults.

Right. And I suppose you weren't putting of Rassilon on the end of something silly.

[amajestictale]

Well, cat-people, suppose.

Staff of Rassilon was an actual artifact. We both know that.

[tardisblue]

.....Not that bad.

Of course it is. You have the pieces for that? Let me see.

[amajestictale]

Not that bad but still bad in the general scheme of things.

[ ... ]

Yes, well, stop being patronizing and I might.

[tardisblue]

I'm not that bad at all. Nine may be, but not me.

I'm not being patronizing, you're just being sensitive.

[amajestictale]

You're being patronizing!

[ okay it might be the constant babyface comments that have him a bit riled up. ]

I haven't even checked both of you for cheating.

Still can't believe you put down 'pear'. You hate pears.

[tardisblue]

I am not!

And I'm definitely not cheating.

[...]

Satsumas. I hate satsumas. Keep up!

[amajestictale]

You really should try them again. They're quite good.

[ and this is Eleven about to peek at Ten's-- ]

[tardisblue]

But they're just so blaaaah. They're those things at Christmas you end up picking at because you ran out of chocolate.

[Hey! Quit that! Ten holds his pieces against his chest.]

Nope! Nein! Non! Nyet and nu-uh!

[amajestictale]

That's because you had them at Christmas. Maybe you should try them on another holiday.

[ ... >8( ]

Well, fine.

[tardisblue]

You're only meant to have them at Christmas. They're wasted any other day of the year.

[8|...]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

[andsowasi]

[Oh my god you two are children-

... and you better not have been peeking at his tiles while he was outside and distracted.]

Pears, satsumas, does't matter? [Plopping himself down, now] You two're just mad I got banana first.

[amajestictale]

[ no u, youngest. ]

Am not.

[ he totally is. ]

[andsowasi]

[Says the one who apparently wears fezzes.

But here, Eleven, have a smug little look.]

Are too.

[.... Yeah, no. The childishness never goes away.]

[amajestictale]

[ we wore fezzes before! ]

Who wants bananas? Completely rubbish! Apples are where it's at.

[ except he hates apples. but apples remind him of Amy. so he's alright with this. ]

[andsowasi]

[We also wore rainbow suits and vegetable brooches and carried around umbrellas. But that's in the past. He's looking at his horrifying, apparently ridiculous future right now.]

High in potassium! Always love a banana.

[Besides. More letters means more points, Doctor.]

[amajestictale]

An apple a day keeps the Doctor away.

Though, didn't do much for anyone here.

[andsowasi]

Three'f us. Nothing good ever comes of more'n one.

[Seriously, aren't they due for another disaster to fall down on their heads?]

And it's not an -ist or an -ing. It's more'f an... -er.
