Characters: The Doctor & YOU????
Location: Anywhere and Everywhere
Situation: How's the old rhyme go? It's raining, it's pouring, the Doctor is trying to generate his own electricity?
Warnings/Rating: G, none as of this moment!

[ Come one, come all to the spectacle taking place! Here for the duration of the event only, see a very special madman in a bow tie scrambling around the city of Tu Vishan when there really should be no sane person out! See him running from one electrical cable box to the next, sector to sector, arms filled with an assortment of things. Watch as his tweed gets pathetically soaked and as his hair -- already quite wild and prone to fall this way and that -- get whipped around into an unrecognizable shape by the wind. He waves around a strange glowing stick at each of those hoping to fix whatever trouble it may be causing.

They call him the Doctor. You may call him that crazy guy yelling at the cable box as he whacks the thing in his hand against his palm. ]

Wood! Of course it doesn't do wood -- why did it have to be wood?

[ Come find out what he's doing? Or perhaps catch a glimpse of him running to the next sector? Or perhaps even watch as he shows up at your doorstep, soaked to the bone, but with a grin on his face as he politely asks you for a spare fishbowl?

The choice is yours! ]

[Billy hadn't been able to stay in for longer then three hours after the storm hit. He'd gone out and helped in any way he could, there had been people struggling to move about in the wind, but he had no idea why they were out. Those he had helped, blocking the wind as much as he could until they got back to their homes, telling them to stay in from now on.

He was in his costume and his cape billowed and snapped with the wind, sometimes they were a bad idea. Billy was soaked to the bone and feeling how cold it was, he was about to head back for a break when he saw someone running about. He looked confused and dropped down, closer to the mans level and blinked out the waiter falling from his headband.

Billy was surprised to see who it was and tapped his magic again to throw up a shield to stop the weather, maybe a two meter width and four in height, glowing blue.]

Doctor? What are you doing out here?

[ he looks up in surprise, although it's a full minute or two later when he's realized that not only has the rain around him sort of ceased to fall, but that there's someone talking to him. The voice is familiar and he turns to see Billy! Despite his frazzled state he manages to throw the other a grin before he wipes the wet hair back from his face. ]

Fixing the casing around the cables! [ as if it's really the most obvious thing in the world to be doing at the moment ] The power keeps going out and though the Kedan have been working on it, I thought I'd give them a hand. But wood! Who enforces things with wood?

[ and then, its like he realizes that Billy's out here too when he's not supposed to be. ] What are you doing out here?

Oh...right. [Well...no, okay he doesn't see how that's really a good choice in a storm like this, but he doesn't say anything. He pauses and then shrugs his shoulders.]

It's not the best material. Maybe they thought having metal would make this place look ugly?

[He hadn't thought about helping in that way to be honest. It wasn't even something small, people needed power to be able to do things and not bump around or hurt themselves. Then there's that question and he points to himself.]

Me? I'm...well I've been helping people get out of the storm. I can handle some rain and wind.

Aesthetics don't excuse lack of efficiency. Really, I'd have expected it to at least be uniform across all the sectors, but it isn't! I've got twice the job to do because they're all so different.

[ he finishes up the one he's fidgeting with and lets out a quick triumphant "aha!", before turning around to face Billy with an inquisitive look. ]

And that would be because of -- [ casually pointing to the magical shield keeping the rain away ] -- yes?

No, but then maybe it's also based on how rich or poor the areas are and if they can afford to be efficient? Materials cost, this sector s poor.

[He glances to the shield and nods some.]

Yeah, that and I've dealt with worse than a storm like this. It's easier to deflect than some things are.

Which is in itself interesting. When all you've got is essentially a small, contained city, why are the divisions between the sectors so large? How long could they have possibly been deviating from one another?

Then I'd rather not know the kinds of things you've been deflecting. Except, I really do.

There's always going to be some kind of separation. Peoples beliefs, their ethics, sometimes it's just enough to have people set up sectors. I don't think that today it's so noticeable though? With regards to the kedan, but maybe their traditional belief stops them from changing?

[He laughs.]

Hey, maybe after we sort things out, we can talk about what we do.

[ Well, Billy's got a point in the way. ]

I suppose that makes them much like many other species in that regard.

[ he motions for the teen to follow after him to the next one, not too far off from where they're standing now. ]

Oh yes! Hope you don't mind terribly!

[Billy follows after the Doctor, having the shield follow after them. He's smiling despite the terrible weather.]

I don't mind at all!

We should only have a few more to do before this sector is complete. Although -- [ he looks up at the sky where the clouds are getting ever darker and the wind is picking up. ] -- I don't know if we've got that long.

If you let me know what it is you're doing exactly, I might be able to help and cut down on the time. Before things get worse.
