[The phone rings until it switches to voice mail. Then there's Crowley's relaxed voice.]

Hi. This is Anthony Crowley. Uh. I'm probably not in right now, or asleep, and busy, or something, but leave a message after the tone and I'll get right back to you. Ciao.

BeeeEEeeEEeeeeep


((If you need to contact Crowley for any reason, including plotting and the like, please leave a comment here. Also please state which RP you're contacting me about. XD Comments are screened.))

[Action]

[borntolove]

[There is a knock at the door.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[ He pulls himself up off the couch he'd been lounging on and goes to open the front door, stepping aside to allow The Doctor to come inside. ]

Hallo, Doctor. Glad to see you haven't been turned into a faerie. [ Not that he couldn't tell from the video. ]

[borntolove]

[The Doctor beams a smile for a moment. Then looks at Crowley in confusion.]

Does that matter? I could have been all blue with two heads.

[Just so long at the end of the day - inside he is The Doctor. That's what matters. Then steps inside.]

[eyesofaserpent]

It would be a lot more difficult to communicate. I don't speak in chimes and bells.

[ He closes the door after The Doctor steps inside and leads him toward the kitchen. The demon leans on the counter and nudges the plate of little gelatin bites toward The Doctor. ]

[borntolove]

[That all said - Ten loves this form of himself. Out of all 11 bodies, The Doctor has had. This is The Doctor's favorite. That and also, because someone did create this form for Rose. This is what his former incarnation thought that she would appreciate more than a daft looking alien. Having wings and speaking in chimes and bells wouldn't have been bad. Just interesting! To change his form completely - that's another story. That's a nightmare. That means Rose is gone forever. The Doctor isn't ready to accept that.

Ten pulls out the vial and places that on the table. Then excitably takes the sugar treat and begins to eat that with his tongue. Suggestively. ]

[eyesofaserpent]

[ He looks at the vial. ] So what is that?

[ It takes him a moment to notice The Doctor's antics with the gelatin shot, which leads him to arch a brow over his shades and grin. ]

[borntolove]

[Ten is licking his teeth. To make that he's gotten all the jello. While someone smiles. Sometimes it's hard to tell if he's doing this to show off or just because he's weird. Or both.]

Yes.

[The Doctor twirls around. Grinning wide. A glimmer in his eyes. Ten teases]

You're a snake. Vodka. Right?

Spoon. Where's a spoon?

[eyesofaserpent]

[ He flicks out his more snake-like tongue and tilts down his sunglasses to show his yellow, serpentine eyes. ] Yesss, sssnake. You're familiar with the Adam and Eve story, right? I was the serpent that tempted Eve to eat the apple.

[ He nods a bit. ] Yeah vodka. Doesn't need a spoon with the amount of gelatin I put in there. Normally I try to make these things without jello, but that stuff is the easiest way to get a good rainbow. But for June, I think it's worth it.

[borntolove]

[The Doctor reacts with sticking out his own tongue out and waggling that. Then a pause. The Doctor looks at those yellow eyes. Interesting and looks like the other's with the same face of The Doctor's.]

Heard of it.

[Doesn't believe in that. Sorry. Not in his book of Rules for his universe. But in another universe - that could be completely possible.]

You need a spooooun for what's in the vial. [A silly face on how he's saying spoon.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[ Well, it's absolute truth in his universe. He pushes his shades back up, comfortably hiding his eyes behind the tinted lenses. ]

It comes out okay, clearly. [ You get an eyebrow waggle with that. ]

[borntolove]

[Eye brow waggle back, Crowley. Ten pours what's in the vial onto a spoon. Then grabs a jello shot with his free hand.]

Here's to having both your wings.

[eyesofaserpent]

So how does this work? [ Don't mind him looking at the vial and the spoon skeptically. ] And how do you know it'll work?

[borntolove]

[The Doctor is humming a certain song. The reply is simple and ressuring.]

You drink it. Trust me, I'm The Doctor.

[eyesofaserpent]

[ He stares at him. ]

Are you seriously humming Mary Poppins at me?

[borntolove]

Didn't you know? She's a Time Lady.

[At least if Mary Poppins were in fact as real as she is in the Disney movie. The books are a bit different.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[ Cue more staring. ]

But Mary Poppins is Disney, not BBC. [ A beat. ] Though I suppose it was a book series first.

[borntolove]

[The Doctor stares a bit about the BBC. Is that what he airs on, in other universes?]

Her bag is bigger on the inside. She can take herself and others into other dimensions. Her Tardis is an umbrella.

[The Doctor's logic, if she was real. She'd be a Time Lady.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[ That's a nice cross-canon theory there Doctor. ]

Is she real in your universe, or fiction?

[borntolove]

Fiction. But she's real somewhere in the multiverse.

[eyesofaserpent]

I can't help but think you're right considering you're standing here in front of me and not an actor on the telly.

[ Wait... Oh, this would explain some things. ]

The other Crowley must be played by the same actor as you in some other universe.

[borntolove]

[There's a thoughtful pause. He does wonder what person plays both, The Doctor and Crowley in some universe.]

Yup.

You're also forgetting that one of my past lives meeting H.G.Wells is what inspired him to write The Time Machine in the first place.

[So, Mary could be real. In a sense in The Doctor's universe.]

[eyesofaserpent]

[ It takes him a moment, but he does recall that episode. ] Yeah, I suppose you're right.

I mean, there're probably universes where dinosaurs are real, so why not...

[ Alright he's been putting this off long enough. He finally picks up the spoon, looks at the liquid as if it was personally offending him, and shoves it in his mouth, swallowing it down before he can change his mind or taste it. ]

[borntolove]

Dinosaurs were real in my universe.

[And a Cyberman ship is what collided with Earth. Adric on board and that was the end of the dinosaurs and the end of Adric. His third incarnation captured a T-Rex. The Doctor watches. Holding his breath for a moment. He's not sure if this will work but Sodder has delivered before for The Doctor various ability items. Could happen.]

[eyesofaserpent]

Right, yeah. I get the feeling they exist in a lot of universes. I mean they sort of do in mine. The bones at least. But it's just one of His attempts at humor, you know? I mean our Earth is only 6,000 years old, give or take.

[ His wings twitch as he starts to feel, well, something. It burns and itches as flesh starts to regrow from nothing. He didn't expect this to be a pleasant or an easy process, but still. ]

[borntolove]

[For the sake of math probability and the Doctor's own Book of Rules. Isn't going to debate the existence of An Almighty Creator. Someone still doesn't believe it was Satan in that pit in his own universe.

Ten offers Crowley the jello-shot.]
