Round 11 Hour 7

[lolmac]

Can the Doctor laugh in the face of a Dalek that does not exactly have a 'face' per se?

Can a hyperintelligent penguin operate a Dalek Mark IV transport machine?

What would MacGyver do with a sonic screwdriver?

Discuss.

Argh, giant plot hole!

There's a fissure in time that's opened up, exacerbated by a paradox in the area, and the Doctor is trying to find something in order to close it before it grows and starts eating people. Right now I have him trying to find the paradox, so he can go back and correct it, making the fissure less of a big deal.

Only I just remembered, he should already know what the paradox is by this point in his time. So now I have to figure out something else he's trying but failing to pin down, and another way to get back the drama of the paradox (which is all River's fault).

And I plotted it so carefully, too. :(

For the plot hole. The multiple parallel posts have all been sucked into the time fissure, so no problem.

Except for that alternate universe in which the multiple posts caused a mutation in the local penguins, which are now sentient and studying quantum mechanics. Got any quanta that need a tune-up?

Why yes, actually, I have this quantum computer that overheats any time I play certain 5D games on it. Though I question how well a penguin will be able to repair it, as toothpicks are not really an adequate substitute for opposable thumbs.

That was part of the mutation. The penguins are now telekinetic, but only at a quantum level. So they can affect the structure of matter but can't tie a bow tie.

But bow ties are cool! What a lame power.

[lolmac]

Clearly, the penguins need help. They'll have to develop some kind of symbiotic culture -- they'll stand around on ice floes holding little signs reading "Will do quantum mechanical work for bow-tying".

I now understand the appeal of Frobisher as a potential companion. It's a perfect partnership!

Hey now! River is awesome. She makes the Daleks beg for mercy! :-D

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Yes. Out of hatred because it killed the Doctor, which doesn't seem to diminish in the slightest after she finds out he's alright. Which tells us that that episode happened before that time she killed him herself. That's who I'm writing about.

Livejournal ate my data ghost icon, alas.

Anyway it's not her fault out of stupidity or anything. She was saving the Doctor. But she did it, and the Doctor and the reader know it (though the reader doesn't know that the Doctor knows it), and now my giant scene is totally busted. :(

Halp.

Oh hey, cookies! That's a thought.
