The Doctor was halfway in an old dryer, pulling apart the insides. "A part that can take a super heated coil and maintain its integrity," she said, grabbing something and yanking hard until she falls back out, holding up the part. "Hmm, might be too big, though maybe-" she started, looking towards the voice.

And froze.

Oh. Oh, its him. Her oldest friend. Offering to help??? "Hello?"

[playingtrack3]

"Tricky one, but that might do the trick, depending on what you're doing with it. Mind, you could bend it to suit, that wouldn't be hard."

That look on her face takes him off guard, though: it speaks of familiarity, when he doesn't recognize it at all ... but then ... if only he could still sense time, he'd know for sure. He's got a sinking feeling about this, though. Another one. He hedges a bet.

"Hullo, indeed. So the future really is all girl, then?"

[teamtardis]

He's being...helpful? Why is he being helpful?

Except....then...

Did she get through to him? Did Missy?

The Doctor flipped around to her knees, and pushing herself to her feet. "It really is. What can I say? I know one day a fall is gonna stick and I guess I wanted to try something really different," she said with a shrug, tossing the part from hand to hand. "What do you mean bend? This wouldn't be all that useful in another angle. Size, sure, but angle?"

[playingtrack3]

Neither, actually. That part of Mondas hasn't happened yet, for him. He'd only just arrived, and not yet spent the long, long time of waiting for the Doctor. The drumming had only just begun to fade when he was sucked into Nautilus, leaving him with only questions... half of which, he knew, she'd have, too.

"It's ... the other side of the coin, I think you'd say. We're cut off from time, and all our psychic abilities, yes, but ... this dimension runs on chaotic energy. With practice, you can learn how to manipulate it. People here call it bending."

He picks up a length of pipe and Bends it into a tiny Cyberman - half because it's funny, half to see her reaction.

[teamtardis]

Her eyes widen in surprise. She reaches for her screwdriver, then frowns because right. Not working. So she takes the pipe and sniffs it. "Now what did yo-"

"...there are days I could hate you," she said with a glare. "But Bill still won so nah," she said, turning her focus back on the item, looking it over. "How'd you do it?"

[playingtrack3]

The only thing new is the face, he decides, with a sigh. "Come now, I told you: it's called Bending. But who the devil is Bill? Some UNIT grunt, I suspect."

[teamtardis]

She paused at that. On one hand, she could see him just not paying attention to the name. On the other hand, that is literally years to not catch the name. Maybe for a reaction? Still, not the most impressive way to go about it.

"Did you say the all girl line in reference to a thing you said before or has that not happened? No, sorry, okay, what is the last thing you remember because now I'm all twisted up, and don't know how annoyed I should be by this," she said, holding up the Cyberman.

"And what isn't how."

[playingtrack3]

"First time I've said it," he remarked. "Though I did think it. Had a memory that wasn't quite ... there. As for the last thing I remember, I was on Mondas, had been for about a month, building up a nice little foundation to a plan. I don't mind telling you, since you won't remember when you leave, and you're probably already past it anyway, judging by how you're acting. ... 'How annoyed', she says. Oooh, it must come out rather well, all told, even if it sounds like I still don't get the best of you."

Not that he's into that so much, recently, but let her sit on that for a little while longer. He gives her a cheeky little look at the 'what isn't how' remark.

"It's like I said. This place is created by, and runs on, chaos energy. More complex than entropy, even. Took me a few weeks to get right, but ... everyone here has the mental capacity to access it and use it to mold reality into what they like. It'd feel like lemon juice in papercuts, all over, if we were still connected to the time stream, I'm sure. Conceptually, it's absolutely horrifying. I rather like it, but then ... I'm utterly mad, so."

[teamtardis]

"Oh. Only a month? Oh, wow. Okay, so I am a slight bit miffed, but I will be VERY cross with you at some point and then just..." She paused, her expression falling a bit. "Disappointed, I guess. Though that might not be for you for a long while."

She had seen Missy wavering. Just a moment, she saw it. She had hoped she would come. She had hoped to see her truly be kind, even if she was never very nice.

"It's a bit of a mix, I suppose. There's good, there's bad, and shortly after, I regenerated and that was....last week? Ish," she said, waving a hand in a so-so gesture. What is time with time travel.

Thirteen hums, looking at the Cyberman, tossing it from hand to hand. She holds it close and sniffs it again. She nods and then tosses it back and cracks her finger. "Well, good I'm here now, yeah? I'm still sorting out all the bits, I think I could go with a little chaos. Plus, I think she'd like it, if I was just a little more wild this time around," she said.

And chaos to create. Maybe that would have been a way to tempt Missy more to her side. Bend reality to her will without needing to break it. "You'll have to tell me if you do. So got a trick to it or just...let it go?"

[playingtrack3]

The Doctor, looking to be more chaotic. He likes this one already, and catches the tiny Cyberman with a little smile.

"Everyone who tried to explain it to me did a bit of a rubbish job: they said all I had to do was picture it, and it'd come out right enough. But I ended up with a bag of jelly babies that tasted like the wax paper bag I put them in, and it's ... there's more to it than that. For me, it feels a bit like music, or time, or both. You start with the base of it, then you build the layers and conduct it all together, all the different parts that make something up. For the pipe, I started with what was already there, and first I took away what didn't need to be, and added what did."

He melts it down into a sphere of shiny metal, essence of junkyard pipe, then holds it out again.

"Give it a go. See how chaos feels as a medium."

[teamtardis]

"Music? Music and chaos, huh?" She said and then felt a grin grow on her face. "Yeah, I can work with a bit of chaos and music and time. Sounds like the way of things."

She takes the sphere, rolling it between her fingers. "All right, let's do this," she said, looking at the ball. Music and chaos and time. Building blocks. Guitar strings and piano keys and beautiful curls. Building blocks in golden light to hop from the darkened chains and finally to grab for something more instead of only trying to outrun their reach.

Build layer by layer, part by part, she's a maker and she loves to make things and she loved those bits of chaos even as they drove her mad-

The metal ball changes, morphs, turning into a bracelet, a simple metal bangle, segmented and a blue LED light as a center piece. "Oh! Oh! Oh, oh, I did it! I made a thing!"

[playingtrack3]

He's surprised, but not, all at the same time. The Doctor always was brilliant, after all, and her excitement and pure joy over this is, he has to admit, a fair bit sexy. He hasn't seen her this joyful in ... well, he can't really remember when.

"Well done, my dear Doctor. You shouldn't have any trouble getting that coil to do whatever it is you like, now, I don't think."
