Warnings: Discussion of teeth, serial killers

Right.
Donna Noble.
New arrival.
Question:
What the flip is going on with the teeth?
Why are there bags of teeth in the park?
Who does that?
Whose teeth are they?
Isn't that like what a serial killer does?
I saw a program on Ted Bundy once.
Mad stuff.

maybe someone mugged a tooth fairy

[thedoctorsmate]

[On the one hand, that is an objectively hilarious response. On the other...]

But the tooth fairy's not real.
I mean, it's probably not real, right?
Here.
Could it be?

[cacophonish]

i dunno i mean i think this place kind of
what's the word im looking for......

it kind of changes the definition of real

if a crazy chick can make my phone explode in angry wasps that i had to pour vodka on and then sing really fast at so i could set them on fire then why can't the tooth fairy be real you know?

[thedoctorsmate]

You sang at your phone and it caught on fire?
How bad is your voice?

[cacophonish]

no i sang at the wasps that exploded out of my phone and THEY caught on fire
if i was a bad singer it wouldn't have worked 😀

[thedoctorsmate]

What are you even talking about?
You sing and things just catch fire?
You're not making sense.

[cacophonish]

oh i'm talking about magic
i'm a bard

[thedoctorsmate]

Didn't they say you have to, like, murder people, or whatever to do magic here?
Are you murdering people along with wasps?

[cacophonish]

i don't kill people. i don't even hurt them
it's a bunch of bullshit like
fucking witch hunt propaganda

[thedoctorsmate]

[It seems possible that's true, but also...]

What do you do, then?

[cacophonish]

[ DOT DOT DOT........

Tread carefully with your answer, Jeff. ]

nothing
i just do what i've always done
sing until stuff happens

i mean whatever it was self defense anyway
maybe i scared the wasps with fire i dont fucking know

[thedoctorsmate]

And fire usually happens?
What sort of rubbish magic is that?

[cacophonish]

oh no i can do a lot more than that
back home anyway

move stuff, make light shows, find missing & hidden things

here i just do pest control 😉

[ Is he deliberately omitting his most powerful magical skill set? YOU BET. ]

[thedoctorsmate]

[That sounds... utterly mundane apart from the fire. And even that could be achieved with a can of hairspray and a lighter.]

Right, so are you some sort of stage magician... music act?

[cacophonish]

[ It's super mundane! Totally harmless! Which is why the ADI's No Magic rule is totally ridiculous and unwarranted...... ]

no i'm not a stage magician. i don't wear a top hat and cut ladies in half or shit like that

think less houdini and more dungeons and dragons

[ He hates to make the D&D comparison, but it is what most people jump to when he says he's a bard, so. May as well roll with it. ]

[thedoctorsmate]

Right...
So you're basically a big nerd.

[Donna has never, in her life, played DnD or engaged with it.]

[cacophonish]

i dunno i don't think i'm smart enough to be a nerd

[thedoctorsmate]

You're stalking about Dungeons and Dragons.
That's Grade A nerd stuff.
Have your hobbies or whatever, nerds can be cute.
But definitely a nerdy magician.

[cacophonish]

[ There's a thought, an impulse: Show her what you can really do. Which, that alone isn't worrisome. Jeff's all about the attention, especially where his magic's concerned.

But this feels off. It's not rooted in his usual desire for attention and showmanship, but some kind of twisted, funhouse mirror version-- ]

i guess
maybe i'll save up for a lute 🙂

[thedoctorsmate]

Good luck, Alan-A-Dale.
I'll see you around.
Maybe keep an ear out.
Or a nose for the smoke.
