[Irving is in his office at the radio station, sitting behind his desk. He smiles cordially at the viewer.]

Greetings, Asgard. As you've may have noticed, with the departure of both Professor River Song and Vislor Turlough, I have been filing in with news and weather. 

But I would prefer it if someone with both the investigative passion of Professor Song and the scientific keenness of Mr Turlough would take on the role on a full time basis! 

Anyone interested in either role, or indeed any role that you think is missing from the radio station, should feel free and encouraged to apply to me, using the bracelet or coming to my office in the station in Freyr district. My rates are reasonable and I encourage a friendly, creative atmosphere to work in.

Thank you all for your time and patience.

[OOC: Here is the plotting post for anyone interested and anyone who has questions!]

Weather? Especially with a scientific bent. I would be interested in that.

[becauseichooseto]

Very kind of you, Kate. Would you like to pop over, see what we've got? [Equipment-wise.]

Video

[scienceleads]

I'd love to, when is good for you? [But of course!]

Video

[becauseichooseto]

Oh, end of business, about five?

Video

[scienceleads]

I can manage that. See you then.




[ooc: Want to thread it out, or handwave?]

[becauseichooseto]

I'll have tea.


[OOC: I don't mind, but you're wanting to get AC early on and this will help?]

Video

[scienceleads]

Look forward to it.



[ooc: Sounds good to me!]

[reallygreathair]

I didn't know you were in radio.

[becauseichooseto]

Oh, yes. Thought there was a gap in the market, so I filled it.

[reallygreathair]

Wellllllll, good to know there's something interesting to listen to around here.

[becauseichooseto]

[He smiles. What a nice thing to say.] Thank you, Doctor.

[reallygreathair]

But...I still don't understand why radio. Thought you'd be more into going on telly.

[becauseichooseto]

I am using the materials available to me, Doctor. There was no television station.

[comeonthensexy]

"Turlough" and "keenness" don't really fit together.

[Video]

[becauseichooseto]

Thank you, Doctor, for your ever-helpful contribution.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

You're welcome!

[ But anyway. ]

They're dropping like flies again.

[becauseichooseto]

[His mouth downturns in a shrug about that. He's not happy they're gone but they've not been assassinated or anything. Just not here.]

Little we can do about that. Possibly they might return.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Oh, it's very likely. That, or new people show up.

[becauseichooseto]

Swings and roundabouts.

[ Working as part of a radio never really struck Nine as something he'd want to do, but as of this moment, he still needs work, so he's keeping his options open. ]

Well, not sure I fancy reporting on the weather or- what was the other position? Oh, right, news.

[ He shrugs. ]

Suppose I could manage that, unless you've got something that's more interesting to do.

[ He's still working on convincing himself as to the wisdom of pursuing this particular job. ]

[becauseichooseto]

[He's a little amused that the Doctor's asking for a job, but he's not going to mock him for it.]

Well, there's always options, Doctor. I try not to overly restrict my... producers. If you can think of anything that involves sound waves over a medium, then I'm pretty happy to let you do it.

[notbychoice]

[ Well, it's either ask for work or sit on his thumbs and go without, which wouldn't be too much of a travesty. He's never really carried money, so this business of working to earn it is a bit foreign to him. Not the actual act of working, mind you, but the part where he needs money.

Either way, he's looking at it as a way to spend the time. ]

That's half the problem, isn't it? [ Meaning he hasn't really got any specific idea what he could do besides report on the news. ]

Might as well give the news a try. Funny, but I never imagined myself doing that.

[ But he'll try it, if he's agreeable. ]

[becauseichooseto]

In your defense, I never imagined it myself. [Here's to defending the Doctor.]

But certainly, you can give it a go. Would you like to come down?

video;

[notbychoice]

Then I don't suppose you could imagine someone else who might be hiring, could you?

[ And just in case Brax wonders about the sudden change, he adds: ]

Figure it's best to explore the options before deciding, but why not? I'll come down.

[ And if he likes what he sees when he does, he might well take on the job. ]

[becauseichooseto]

[He shrugs.] I somehow find it even more difficult to imagine you in retail. [Or as a waiter. The Doctor would be a gift to sketch shows.]

[He smiles.] Whenever it's convenient for you.
