I did a Sanitized Octoling! Danny doodle on my brother's IPad for a little experiment. He says he looks like Dark Dan, and I didn't even tell him what I was drawing.

Machi's #15 DPxDC Idea

Bruce couldn't understand what was happening, or why, or how, or why, or when, or well, anything at all. One day he found two civilians, two teens goofing around the cave like two newlyweds. When Batman, with capital B; tried to interrogate them he only got mockery.

"What's with the long face?" They said before disappearing through one of the smaller caves. For a moment Bruce thought he had hallucinated the Asian boy and the Hispanic girl. Only to find the same Hispanic girl with a blond boy making out on Red Robin's bike. Plus another couple with them! And all of them were holding hands!

Then, a few days later, while he was investigating the lower levels of the batcave he found a black boy with a red beanie flirting with Jason, and Jason was flirting back? Batman had to pull everybody out of the caves and call for an emergency meeting. Only to find a boy with black hair passed out at the meeting table, using Batman's reports as cushions. Sitting next to him was a girl with also dark hair drinking with a straw from a coconut.

"Poor Danny," she said. "After all these years he still can't deal with alcohol." And then she promptly started to offer coconut milk to everyone.

He snapped at her but she only raised an eyebrow and left carrying the boy, Danny, on her back. And then the music started. Day and Night it would start playing at the most random moments. Samba, Rumba, Fados, Boleros, K-pop, anything went in, they even accepted petitions if the kids yelled loud enough. Steph had gotten in the habit of asking for Kill Bill's OST and Dick constantly asked for Taylor Swift. They even answered when Damian complained about their choices and asked for Chopin's nocturne. And then the batcave started to grow flowers! And trees? And the fruit was edible? What the heck?

"Sounds to me like you have a nymph infestation," said Wonder Woman after hearing his rant report. Batman stared at her like she had grown another head.

"I mean, flower powers, free love, did they have pointed ears?" Batman nood. "Yup, definitely a nymph infestation." Batman kept staring at her. Don't look at me like that, they are very common where I come from. The only solution is to wait until they get bored and move on. If you try to get rid of them violently not only you will fail. But also will risk the wrath of the gods." Batman kept staring. Wonder woman sighed. "I will call Pan to see if he is missing any nymphs and wants them back".

Jim West's Suit

"Robert Conrad’s finely tailored Suits, featuring the smart-looking bolero jacket and colorful vest, were an important aspect of James West’s character. The fact that President Grant recruited West to serve as his agent in the field meant maintaining a convincing cover. So the government set him up to be a fancy, high-living gentleman from the East, who traveled the country at his leisure in his private railroad car. West’s classy attire went a long way toward establishing this image.

"The jacket also served a practical function: Hidden behind the left lapel was a small pocket in which West kept a picklock, and at the back of the jacket was another pocket that held a throwing knife. This jacket, along with its hidden devices, was used throughout the series.

The tight-fitting pants that matched West’s jacket posed a special problem on the series due to the extensive stunt work performed by Conrad. 'My pants, which were designed by a woman, were always splitting because they were too tight,” recalled Conrad. “They were always saying, "Okay, how many pairs of pants is he going to go through today?"'

"The seat of Conrad’s trousers bears the scars of needlework repairs—a fitting testament to the daily rough-and-tumble activities of the wild, wild West."

thank you anon!!

[pinkestpurple]

What a man what a man what a mighty good man

I'm already into season 3 so this is my season 2 reaction, at somepoint i stop reacting bc i started doing bracelets while i watch the show, so, yeah, enjoy what i have

1x02

The soundtrack is so good, if Ryan Murphy knows what to do is musicalize a tv show

Okay but if was necessary to introduce Eddie with Whatta man? (Mateo of the future: yes it was)

Jsjsjsj you are kidding, Buck see it as competition?? You are the other father of his child

Hen leaving aside her indignation about the calendar to bother Buck, i love her

What you mean Buck realize he is bi in season 8, if this is how Buck see it now that he "hates" him i can't imagine how bad is going to get

Buck don't fuck your sister, Deancoded even with that /j

If my sister doesn't talk to me for 3 years i asumme she is dead, how you didn't look for her??

No Athena twitting a tv show, this is about me??

Eddie faces when Buck is doing his macho thing 😂😂

Eddie tells Bucks he is good handling pressure and Buck is like "what??me?? 🥺👉🏻👈🏻" at least pretend you aren't into him

Mr. April!! Hen is such a good friend, i want at least two episodes about her, please

2x02 

Christopher! The cutes kid alive! I think dogs know that we are diferent species, they are very intelligent

If Buck hasn't a firefighter he could be a monsterhunter, we already discussed this, Buck is Dean Winchester

Second episode and Buck and Eddie are already join into the hip?? Okay

All cops are bastards and this counts for Athena

Maddie doing her job as she cries, relatable

2x03

Buck taking Eddie to look for Chris?? Why is Buck there? Are they already dating?

The two earthquakes episodes are so good!! I love them

Hen is my favorite character of the show,is she considering leaving?? A quitting the job arc?? (Future me: i though this bc of how she was watching the bold kid family but no it was a will we get a second kid arc)

2x04

I get his last name is Diaz, has the episode need to start with a bolero? Jsjsjsj

Girls trying to flirt with Buck and Eddie? understandable, but no one flirting with Hen?? Unacceptable, she is the hottest one

Buck asking Eddie why doesn't date is Buck trying to flirt with him i can't read this any other way

Eddie taking Buck to a family emergency?? Insane, so you are boyfriends now

Gringos know that una tia latina can have another name than Pepa??

"Your ex gringa" jsjsjsjs muy de tia, but ma'am your nephew is the everyday american man poster what are you saying 

I love Chris is the cutest kid ever and the show knows it

No, why they meet like two months ago (idk this show timeline) and they are already marry??

I understand why buddie shippers are insane, episode four since we meet eddie and this two are like this

(Sorry for the shitty screenshots, Disney is a bitch)

BOYCRUSH

"She got her life change and all i got is the trauma" jsjsjsjs Chimney you are so funny this season

After i though what a funny episode a guy dies bc a escalator got him, what a nice show

Carla!! I hope a black person got into the writers room bc i swear to good

2x05

It makes all the sense of the world that Danny and Athena kids are friends

Okay the racist guy, how this is executed idk if theres a black writer on the team, feels too on the nose

I really like this episode, especially the Hen B plot, love her, love her struggles.

2x06

And we are back to shipping, Buck assuming Maddie talks about Eddie?? What you want from me show

2x07

I thought Chris mom was dead..... okay, SORRY

"I needed someone to had my back" How this is not a direct parallel to 2x01 when Buck and Eddie say this to each other C'MON

2x08

They putting down a horse is so sad, i think i will have my period soon bc everything on this show makes me cry, the whole thing with Maddie too

I love how the show handles themes and parallels, the whole haunted thing, as a halloween episode but also as the living gosths we have of our pass, love that.

Also love the parallel of Abby leaving the house not knowing who she is and Buck doing the same!

Someone do an exorcism to that house.

2x08

The episode just started and i am crying i love Buck

Maddie and Chim being good at karaoke is just a detail that does nothing, but is so fucking cool!! Of course they are good at being together

"To restrained" and the most obvious scene is next

Jsjsjs i think she is using Buck

The old couple story??

WHAT YOU MEAN BUCK REALIZE HE IS BI IN SEASON 8 and not at the end of this season that it could make so much sense???

Bc what was the old men story for if not to set up Buck with a man??

2x09

A Hen episode!?? Yes PLEASE

The fact the finding herself and what she wants to do is also tie to Hen stop trying to be so femmem, yes girl, burn that wig

Tommy!? Bucks Tommy? Well now i undestand some comments about him

So funny that they are using Twilight so you know what year is it

Chimney always trying to help Hen!!

I love that the message is you can't do this alone, you need people than helps but also that understands

Yes, fuck that captain, some people can learn, and will, the people who doesn't, fuck them

Love Hen, i undestand her so much better, know i need to know who her and her wife meet

2x10

Buck with a little girl!! He is such a father (pls someone get him pregnant)

Chim really trying not to fuck it up with Maddie is precious

I got to the elf girl thinking Buck and Eddie are the fathers of Chris, give me an explanation to put that scene in there if is not gay!

But seriously, eddie back with his wife but not really sure what to do with her, buck in this discovering himself arc, the whole old men couple, c'mon c'mon, how, how, how is not gay, and why are this two not cannon??

2x12

I love to learn more about Chimney

How the flashback just bleends with reality is such a cool thing to do, i love this episode

Also i love how in all of the beginnings theres someone how extent their hands and helps the new one, because they will never be where they are if wasn't the a kind person willing to help

2x15

I didn't like this episode to mimicky for my taste, but i understand, at the beginning i thought this kind of reminds me of my favorite tv show Los sinuladores, and if i had the opportunity to make an 911 episode could be 100% trying to squeeze an simuladores reference there

..........

Well this are my reactions after this i start doing other stuff an also working, i have a job, shocking.

My final thoughts are, i like the Bobby Beginnings episode, but i don't think i learn something new about him.

Carla still bothers me, she still doesn't have a life outside of the white chracters like they could have show her family in the eddie party.

Hen, Maddie and Buck are my favorite characters you know is going to be a an amazing episode when they focus to one of those three.

Also i didn't love Bucks romantic think this season, bc it didn't go anywhere, he had 2 kind of girlfriends that i didn't bother to learn their names and thats it. He should date men, right now. But whatever, i hope he gets a life outside of being a firefighter, that boy needs to get a little healthier.

Caroline Polachek Brings the Bagpipes on 'Blood and Butter' We are only a fortnight away from the arrival of Caroline Polachek's sophomore album, Desire, I Want To Turn Into You, and the excitement surrounding the highly anticipated follow-up to 2019's stellar debut Pang continues to mount with every tantalizing new detail that emerges.Set to arrive just in time for Valentine's Day, Polachek returns with her latest preview of the forthcoming record with "Blood and Butter." Co-produced with frequent collaborator Danny L Harle, the new single sees Polachek giving us a soothing mid-winter balm for all of our seasonal depression-addled hearts with the soft patter of bongos and mellow guitars carrying on the mystical tropical vibes she set up on previous singles like "Welcome to My Island" and the Sega Bodega-produced bolero of "Sunset." Putting her full pop prowess on display, Polachek's hymn-like lyricism is once again nothing short of rapturous on "Blood and Butter," but its standout moment comes in the form of a sonic curveball with bagpipes courtesy of BBC award winner Brìghde Chaimbeul, adding an unexpected Celtic twist to the track's swelling climax.Related | TikTok Discovered the Majesty of Caroline Polachek's 'Pang'In addition to the new single, the singer has also revealed the full tracklist for the new record which features some quintessentially Polachek track titles like "Crude Drawing Of An Angel" and "Hopedrunk Everasking" sprinkled amid familiar favorites like "Bunny Is a Rider" and "Billions." However, perhaps the most eye-catching detail is the juicy confirmation of a collaboration with Grimes and Dido (which is an alt-pop threeway meeting of worlds that we never knew we need) on "Fly to You" that has us the most excited.Listen to "Blood and Butter" and check out the full tracklist for Desire, I Want to Turn Into You, out February 14, below.

Who is olgas favourite and why was it obviously Alina lol. Like I can’t think of an Alina costume that I didn’t hate but can’t say the same for the other girls. I don’t know if she’s going through a Danny g moment having to make costumes for so many people and themes but this season isn’t it for dresses from her

Hi ! I'm very sorry, I'm answering a week late!

I'm answering a week late! I completely agree with you about Alina she always had sublime dresses but... wait, the start of the 2018 Olympic season was emmm... yeah kinda worse... including for Alina...

Look Alina's first FP dress .. Yeah.. It was probably Zhenya's dress...

And Zhenya's first dresse for Anna Karenina were hemm, yeah better than some dresses the girls have now. I think it is better worked than now, but for the first version the colour was so wrong with the theme. Why black for Anna Karenina, it doesn't go with the theme, the costume designer really thought she was doing it for Halloween. Her dress is beautiful but for dancing on the Danse Macabre for example. Or an Evanescence medley.

Then there was a less-than-memorable red dress and then the final, most successful, and most elaborate dress of the three, who was very nice !

But I agree with you Alina has the best dresses by Olga in her senior career ! They were all so gorgeous ! Olga is talented when she is payed ! They are all diffrents and you can find the theme with the dress ! And each dress has material effects, 2-in-1 effects, nice finishing touches! It's so pretty !

And the best at last, her SP dress at the Olympics. One of my favourite dresses of all time to be honest, I can't get enough of this one. The fact that it's a tutu (I love tutus) the colours that mix very well, the violet, the black, the white (it's very beautiful when it moves). The play of materials, with the sequins, spandex and tulle. And for the theme of the program, purple is very unexpected, for Black Swan you imagine a black tutu. And there, the purple goes well. The tutu is very graceful but dramatic at the same time, with the lines formed on the front. Well, it's personal but I think it's gorgeous.

I'm sorry I'm a bit late, but I wanted to give you a complete answer, with pictures, I hope you'll see it. I may not have detailed the dresses of the other girls this year, I think it will be like in 2018, those who go to the Olympics will have other dresses. And apparently Eteri has employed a new seamstress. And Kamila reportedly said that a new dress for the Bolero was in the works. so fingers crossed that there will be new dresses with a bit more work, because I completely agree with you, none of them are really good for the Olympics, for some of them we have the basic idea (like Anna Karenina's) but they need to be more worked out. Fingers crossed!

[ask-the-almighty-google]

oooh hmm... "heartbeat" or "heartsbeat" (lol... this fandom) for the WIP guessing game?

Static buzzed in his ears as Zack began counting down from ten to drop then down into the drill shaft, and he closed his eyes in anticipation before the lurching sensation had his stomach and heart jumping into his throat. This seemed to make the heartsbeat thundering in his ears even louder. The intercom crackled as Zack informed them they were no longer inside the oxygen field, and with shaking fingers he and Ida fought against the pressure to activate their life support.

Gonna be honest, I have misophonia and can’t stand the sound of heartbeats, so this one was tricky! I’ll post more under the cut!

“Now entering Night Shift. Your chosen track for transition is: ‘Ravel’s Bolero.’”

Classical music chimed pleasantly through the base as Rose made her way toward Toby’s room and patiently knocked. A few moments later the door unlatched and the man himself appeared looking far more haggard and unnerved than he had during the quake.

  “You alright mate?” She asked, blinking in surprise. He shrugged.

  “Just… tired. The quakes, they freak me out, I can’t ever get a good kip after,” he explained weakly. “Um… now’s not a good time for me to try and translate the pot shards I’ve got, running on too little sleep. Can we try tomorrow instead?”

“Yeah, sure,” Rose said, opening her mouth to continue when the door abruptly shut in her face and she held the bolt latch. “Rude…” she clutched at her head as that same disturbing presence from earlier bashed against her shields, emanating from below and into Toby’s room, and without a second thought she tore it straight from its hinges once the bombardment had lessened enough for her to move. Toby was lying on the floor, panting and clawing at his face, and without a second thought she slung him over her shoulder and headed straight for Habitation Three where she could feel tiny pings of distressed worry emanating from her Mate.

  The Doctor took one look at Toby upon arrival and deftly pulled out his sonic. Turning it to the dermal regeneration setting, he set to work patching up the man’s face.

“That presence again?”

“Think it psychically attacked him,” Rose admitted, biting her lip and frowning. “Just being near the event was excruciating. Don’t want to know what’s causing that, but…”

“But…”

“Whatever it is, it’s coming from down below.” They exchanged a look before glancing at the ceiling as Zach’s voice crackled over the comm system.

  “Danny, check the temperature in Ood Habitation. Seems to be rising.”

“Right, well after that I need a cuppa, gonna see what the canteen’s got in store,” she said, plastering on a brave face and squaring her shoulders. The Doctor nodded, easily maneuvering a shivering Toby into one of the booths and then moving to a table nearer the writing on the wall. Scootie smiled as Rose approached.

  “Help yourself. Just, don’t have the green. Or the blue.” She chuckled and moved on, and Rose fought back a smile. They looked about the same in age even if they weren’t, and it was all too easy to picture her running about the Estate with Shareen and Keisha fitting in nicely, the four of them together causing mischief just because they could.

  Shaking such thoughts away like pesky cobwebs, Rose stepped up to the serving window and hesitated. Scootie had said no green,  no blue… and there were no other options.

  “Brilliant… some of that, thanks,” she said with a grin at the Ood serving her, pointing at the unidentifiable blue mush. Even her superior senses had no idea what it was, though she supposed that meant it wasn’t technically food. Still, she’d had worse a few times. 

  “Would you like sauce with that?” The Ood asked politely.

“…I’ll have a go, yeah.” Her nose wrinkled slightly as what was clearly watered down Worcestershire mixed with Soy sauce was added to her metal tray. “Thanks. …I think. Um.” A new, braver attempt to smile. “I did that once, the dinner lady routine. Needed petty cash to get out of Napa, actually. Not that I’m saying you’re a lady, although…” the Ood telepathy was a very muddled, conjoined signal, and she got conflicting readings because the one in front of her overlapped with the rest on the base. “Well, you could be. Who am I to judge?” It wasn’t like the communication devices differentiated voices. They all had the same automated preset.

  Wonderful diplomat skills, dear.

Oh yeah, you give it a try. Rose rolled her eyes as the Doctor’s laughter echoed over the Bond and refocused on the topic at hand. “Do your people actually get paid, though? Do they give all of you money?”

  “The Beast and his Armies shall rise from the Pit to make war against God,” the Ood replied promptly.

“Sorry, what?” She said, blanching.

“My apologies,” it said, shaking its ball. “I said, ‘I hope you enjoy your meal.’”

  “…Yeah.”

“And on that disturbing note,” the Doctor said, pulling a still-steaming and fully serviced tea set from his coat pocket as she walked over, “spot of tea?”

“Eavesdropper,” Rose muttered, accepting her cuppa with little complaint and munching on a biscuit while he poured cream and dropped a few sugar cubes into his own, nibbling on a cucumber sandwich as he did so. “Still. Not like this trip has gone any different.”

“Mm. Happy Anniversary indeed.”

“Oh! Speaking of.” His head tilted slightly to the side before his eyes widened as she pulled a small silver-paper wrapped box out of her jacket and handed it to him. “Been keeping this for ages on the off chance I missed the date. Pays to be prepared. Happy anniversary.”

  “You… kept my Anniversary gift in your pocket just in case?” He asked softly, eyes shining as he accepted the box and held it almost reverently in front of him. She nodded.

“Yeah. Never wanted to not have it, ya know?” Contentment melted over the Bond as the Doctor leant forward and pressed a kiss to her lips before grinning like a little kid. “Go on, then. Open it.” Permission given, he tore through the paper and quickly opened the box before gaping with the widest smile and promptly plopped the new pair of brainy specs on his nose. These ones were owl-rimmed, a decent sort of mahogany wood and brass coloring, and they framed his face rather nicely.

“These are made with holo-glass,” he said, fascinated. “Can change between polarized and even night vision, or plain. Projects information on the inside, too…”

“Thought you could pair it to the Sonic,” Rose said with a shrug, tongue in teeth as she grinned. He blinked.

  “Sonic. Oh, yes… Rose, can I give you your present now then as well?”

  “Was hopin’ so, at any rate,” she teased. He rolled his eyes before producing a similar box wrapped in gold paper. “Love you.”

“These are incredible. Thank you so much, Rose. I… I really do love them, though certainly not as much as I do you.”

“You romantic you.” Peeling back the paper, Rose opened the box and felt her jaw drop practically to the floor as she pulled out a sleek new pink smartphone protected by a double-layered golden Wolf case.

“So you can call our friends, and… hopefully someday, your mother,” he said softly. “I know you’ve only used burners since you gave your old one away for Jackie to hear the recordings you made, felt it was time you had a permanent one.” He frowned. “Not like you can call anyone here though, I checked.”

“Well, when we get out of here, I can call,” Rose said brightly, leaning forward and nuzzling her temple against his. “I love it. Thank you.”

“As I love mine,” the Doctor sighed. The lights flickered as the base shook, and they all glanced upward at the dome shield for a few moments before Ida’s wrist com beeped.

“Zack, we got a problem?” She asked. Zack’s voice crackled back in reply.

“No more than usual. Got the Scarlet System burning up, might be worth a look.”

“You might want to see this,” Ida said, cutting the feed and walking over to the dome controls to peel back the protective shielding and opening the entire ceiling to show the black hole above them. “Moment in history.” The entire room stood transfixed at the sight as she pointed at an arc of golden-red energy being sucked into the hole. “There, on the edge. That red cloud? That used to be the Scarlet System. Home to the Pallushi… a mighty civilization spanning a billion years disappearing… forever. Their planets and suns consumed.” There was a breathless awe and respect in her voice as she spoke with reverence. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have witnessed it’s passing.”

“Uh, no, could you possibly leave it open a bit longer?” The Doctor asked softly when Ida went to close the shielding. She shot him a skeptical glance and he allowed a tiny smile to grace his lips. “Not long. I won’t go mad, I promise. I just… it’s not entirely gone yet. I feel like it deserves the proper respect.”

  “If you say so.” She was back to business. “Scootie, check the lockdown. Jefferson, sign off all the airlock seals for me.” Toby trudged after her as she exited through door eighteen, leaving Rose and the Doctor alone.

“What’s on your mind?” She whispered. “Trying to get a read right now is like trudging through tar in the middle of a hurricane.”

“We’re trapped here,” he mumbled, wincing as he bit his lip and ruffled at the hair at the back of his head.

  “They said they’d give us a lift. And even if they don’t, we’ll get the TARDIS back.”

“Rose, I can’t contact Gallifrey. We’re alone. And what if we do hitch a lift, what then? You’re a nomadic species, Rose. We don’t have enough money to charter a ship much less but one.”

“Then we sign on as crew,” she said confidently. “You as an engineer, me in security.”

“We’re stuck, Rose.” His shoulders slumped. “We might have to get a flat. Doors, carpets, curtains. You don’t want that any more than I do.”

“Much less a mortgage if we get a house,” she chirped. He groaned. “Oh, don’t remind me of the evils of capitalism…”

  “Hey, for better or for worse,” Rose said gently, cupping his jaw and caressing his cheek with the pad of her thumb. “You’re stuck with me.” A faint quirk pulled up the corners of the Doctor’s mouth.

“Well. Stuck with you, that’s not so bad.”

“No?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Nah.”

  “I love you,” Rose hummed. The Doctor blinked as he remembered something and winced.

“You’re in love with a murderer.” Rose bit her lip to hide a laugh as an image of the houseplant Barbara had asked him to housesit several months ago popped into his mind, absently pulling out her phone as it rang while she ruffled his hair affectionately and accepted the call.

“Hello?“

“He is Awake,” a deep voice growled. Startled, she tossed it to the floor with a yelp.

“Short-lived present, that,” the Doctor commented.

  “Yeah, well, it was possessed.”

“Fair enough. Screen broken?”

“Nope. I’ll turn it off and stick it in a bag of rice just to be safe.”

“I thought that only applied to when it gets wet.”

“Well, what else am I supposed to do with a possessed phone??”

“…Touché.” Danny barely glanced up as the Doctor and Rose strolled into Ood Habitation with false but well-practiced smiles plastered onto their faces.

“Ah, the mysterious couple,” he said with a smile. “Settling in?”

“So-so,” Rose hedged, coming up beside him and peering at the panel he was monitoring. “Bedbugs are a bit much.”

“Oh, yeah. Should have warned you about that.”

  “Danny, the Ood are telepaths, yes? What kind is it?” The Doctor asked.

  “Well, they only register a basic ten, they’re barely telepathic,” Danny explained.

“First off, the idea that humans could ever accurately measure telepathy when they themselves are not telepathic is laughable,” Rose sighed tiredly. “Second, not every species is the same, so there’s no way to accurately measure it. What’s a strong telepath for one is weak for another.” Danny blinked at the lecture as the Doctor smiled.

  “…Oh. Well, what do you want to know then?”

“Have they been acting strangely lately?” The Doctor asked. “There’s a sort of… malevolent force down where the drill is headed and it reached out and attacked poor Toby this evening. Seeing as the Ood are largely unshielded we wanted to make sure they hadn’t been affected. Psychic attacks can be most unpleasant.”

  “No, nothing like that, they’ve been… well, normal for them. You can check the readings, they haven’t gone out of their standard levels.” Danny leant out of the way as the pair studied the screen on either side of him and sighed. “You’re absolutely positive you’re married?” The Doctor shot him a glare and he conceded defeat. “Sorry. Just… curious.”

  “He’s right, which is the odd thing,” Rose murmured, worrying at her lip with her teeth. “Even at the time when we were in the mess hall and the Ood serving said… what he said.”

“An odd Ood?” Danny shrugged. “More common than you think. They’re not much like humans. Basically a herd race, like cattle.”

“Which gives you the right to enslave them?”

  “Oh, stop with that FOTO bunk,” he scoffed. “Everyone knows that they’re practically helpless, they don’t even tell us when they’re ill.”

  “Maybe they would if they thought anyone would listen,” Rose shot back.

  “What exactly did the Ood say?” Danny sighed, rolling his eyes.

“The Beast and His Armies will rise from the Pit to make War against God,” she quoted. He frowned. “And my phone, it said ‘He Is Awake.’”

“And you will worship him,” the Ood around them suddenly said in unison, causing the three to jerk in surprise.

“They’ve gone up to basic 30, well over 10,” the Doctor murmured, placing his new specs on his nose as he stared at the monitor.

  “He is Awake,” Rose repeated.

“And you will worship him,” the Ood intoned again.

  “Yeah, that’s not creepy at all,” Danny muttered, wide-eyed.

  We are so going to the Ood Sphere at some point and getting to the bottom of this, Rose muttered over the Bond.

Count on it, the Doctor whispered back. If he’s one of the more empathetic Ood owners in this era I would very much like to ascertain that the cruel ones no longer have their slave force. 

“We should probably check in on Toby,” Rose sighed. “If the Ood are like this, I don’t want to know how badly he’s been affected after that attack. Danny, keep a watch yeah? Something’s not right.”

“Trust me, I’m too curious to leave this now,” Danny promised as they made their way out of Ood Habitation and back toward the command center. The base shuddered and Rose groaned.

“What now?”

  “Emergency Hull Breach,” the computer intoned robotically. “Emergency Hull Breach.”

“Everyone, evacuate sections eleven to thirteen!” Zack shouted over the intercom as the base continued shuddering. “We’ve got a breach. The base is open. Repeat: The base is open!” The Doctor grabbed Rose’s hand as they ran, ignoring the rest of the announcement as they sought to move past the compromised sections.

  “Well, this is certainly a happening place,” the Doctor said with false cheer as the floor grating shuddered beneath the soles of their feet. They burst into Habitation 3 and all but crashed into Jefferson’s group as they ran into the corridor on the other side. “Fancy seeing you lot here.”

  “Keep moving!” Jefferson shouted, grabbing Toby by the scruff of his neck and hauling him through the door before sealing it tight. “You too, sunshine!”

“Breach sealed, breach sealed,” the computer chimed as the shuddering lessened to its usual amount.

“Somebody open a window or something?” Rose huffed as she gave Toby a cursory once-over. Aside from being battered and bruised he didn’t seem any the worse for wear.

  “Oxygen levels normal.”

“What caused the breach?” The Doctor asked as he glanced around the corridor and frowned. “Wait… I see everyone we’ve already had the pleasure of meeting, aside from-”

“Scootie,” Ida finished, eyes widening. She called up control on her wrist com. “Zack, we can’t find Scootie. She’s not with us. Everyone else is accounted for.”

“She’s in Habitation 3, but not responding,” Zack replied. “Make sure she isn’t unconscious.”

“Habitation 3. Right, well I don’t often say this, but I think we could all do with a drink,” Jefferson decided, clapping a shaken Danny on the shoulder as they all moved to open the door and entered into the Habitation area. “Scootie? Scootie Manista, report.”

“I don’t see her anywhere,” Ida said worriedly as Rose half dragged a shivering Toby to one of the booths and then turned to her mate as a chill went down her spine. Following the Doctor’s gaze, she swallowed and bit her lip.

“I’ve found her,” he said quietly. The room went deathly still as they all looked up and spotted Scootie floating above the still-open dome, her mouth open in a silent scream and her eyes blown wide open in terror clearly indicating what the last few moments of her life had been like before death in the vacuum of space. As they watched, she began drifting away under the pull of the black hole. “She was twenty, twenty years old,” Ida murmured, managing to keep it together despite her grief. Frontier space exploration made people hard, and she was no exception.

  “For how should man die better than facing fearful odds?” Jefferson quoted softly in memorial. “For the ashes of his father, and the temples of his gods?”

Horatius, T.B. Macaulay, the Doctor sighed mentally as pain washed over the Bond. Rose gently laid her head against his shoulder and felt the tension noticeably drain from his shoulders. Fitting, truly. I just…

Every time you see someone so young die, you see Adric, she summarized. He nodded. They both blinked as the base stopped shuddering entirely and the sound from below gave way to eerie silence.

“The drill, it’s stopped,” Ida murmured, collecting her composure and swiping moisture away from her eyes. “We’ve made it. Point Zero.”

~§§~

“What do you think?” The Doctor asked as Rose finished helping him into his suit. She sighed.

  “I wish you’d let me go down instead,” she muttered.

  “I need to find the TARDIS,” he said softly. Rose raised an eyebrow, about to retort that she could do that just as well as him, when she paused and felt along the Bond a bit more and placed the elusive emotion he was trying to shield from her.

“You’re not helpless, Doctor,” she whispered, lightly sweeping his bangs from his face. “You survived eight hundred years without me, I think that means you’re pretty durable.”

“It doesn’t feel like, it, sometimes,” he confessed.

“I never thought-” Rose cut herself off and forced a small smile. “I never thought you were. Holding your own like you do, I just worry you have a death wish sometimes. But… you need to do this, don’t you? Not to prove it to me, but to you?” He hesitated before nodding, and the smile widened. “Then go. I want that spacesuit back in one piece, you hear me?”

  “Yes, ma’am.” She nodded, following him out from the suit-up area as he joined Ida in her own orange spacesuit. “Reporting for duty, Captain.” “I should be the one going down, not you,” Zack sighed.

  “Your people need a leader, especially after losing Scootie. Remember that you’re doing what needs to be done.” The Doctor followed Ida toward the capsule and smiled as Rose gave his hand one last squeeze before letting go, allowing him to entire the capsule without her. I love you.Better with two?Better with you. Static buzzed in his ears as Zack began counting down from ten to drop then down into the drill shaft, and he closed his eyes in anticipation before the lurching sensation had his stomach and heart jumping into his throat. This seemed to make the heartsbeat thundering in his ears even louder. The intercom crackled as Zack informed them they were no longer inside the oxygen field, and with shaking fingers he and Ida fought against the pressure to activate their life support.

  Doctor, brace! The capsule’s about to-They hit free fall and then, after a terrifying few moments of falling into the center of the planet, everything went black. Rose cleared her throat as she let the Bond convince her that the Doctor was still alive, impatiently prodding at his sleeping consciousness and drawing him back into a state of wakefulness.

You okay?

Long drop, he sighed. Ida and I both lost consciousness on impact. Fine, though. Just bumps and bruises. Distantly, Rose heard Ida relaying something similar over the com to her team. Ida’s thrown a gravity globe, but this place is massive. A cavern that could easily fit an entire underground city in it.

Like Lord of the Rings? Or something else?

No, that’s a good comparison actually. Very rough-hewn, ancient, crumbling. I half expect ghosts to show up and tell me they only answer to the Heir of Isildur. 

“Hey, Toby, you’ve got a lot of work to do!” Danny called, drawing Rose out of their conversation. Toby nodded tersely.

“Good, good. Good.”

“Concentrate now, people,” Zack chastised. “Keep on the mission. Ida, what about the power source?”

  “We’re close,” Ida replied. “Energy signature indicates North-Northwest.”

“Doctor? You alive down there? Too much interference to get any pictures from the helmet cams.”

  “Ah, yes, hello. I was a bit… distracted.” Embarrassment flooded the Bond and Rose felt her cheeks heat at the subtle yet suggestive tone layered within the words. So modest, given that you know exactly how I feel being this intrinsically connected to you…

This is what I mean, flirting in peril, why is this our thing? Rose huffed in exasperation, desperately trying to dampen or ease the mood. She felt the Doctor chuckle in her mind before he relented his merciless teasing, though he left a single parting shot.

Well. It is our Anniversary, after all. 

“We’ve come this far, so picture or not, there’s no turning back now,” Ida declared determinedly. The Doctor groaned loudly and Rose outright laughed.

“Did you have to?” He whined. “We’re Jinxed now. It’s akin to ‘nothing can possibly go wrong,’ or ‘I have a bad feeling about this,’ or I dunno, ‘let’s trust Gollum.’ You’ve entrusted us to Gollum, Ida. I hope you’re happy.”

“Who the Hell is Gollum!?”

“It’s a reference to Lord of the Rings by Tolkien,” Jefferson sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Honestly, the lot of you uncultured swine not knowing your classical literature…”

  “Captain, Sir, there’s something happening with the Ood,” Danny reported over the com. “They won’t stop staring at me.”

“Danny-”“No, I know what you’re gonna say, but this is different. Their telepathic signal, it’s at Basic 100. Sir, they should be dead, but they’re just staring at me-”

“Danny, remember how I mentioned a malevolent telepathic force earlier?” Rose said worriedly. “Get outta Habitation and join us, lock it down. I think- I think that thing might be possessing their corpses.”

  There was a long period of silence as everyone digested this information.

  “…Is everything all right up there?” The Doctor asked uncertainty.

  “Yeah, yeah,” Rose said quickly.

  “It’s fiiinnnne,” Zack added unconvincingly.

  It’s not fine, Rose said privately. I can handle it, thanks to you strengthening my shields. It’s just. Ya know. Possible possessed zombies. Another day in marital bliss… He cleared his throat as he spoke aloud. 

“Well, we found something down here. Massive seal of some kind, perfectly circular. Seems to be metal, though with the other oddities on this mission I’m inclined to withhold stating that as fact. Thirty feet in diameter, at the least. Reminds me an awful lot of a trapdoor, which as Rose can tell you is one of my least favorite pieces of architecture.”

“We do a lot of… haunted house… tours,” Rose explained lamely at the odd look she was getting from Jefferson, who raised an eyebrow and then shrugged.

“The edge is covered in the same symbols we found on the pottery shards,” Ida added. “These look different. I wish we could send visual so that Rose could translate for us.”

“No need,” the Doctor said. “It’s a warning about unleashing Hell.”

“…Oh. Cheery. …Less inclined to want to open the thing now.”

“But you will open it,” a sinister voice snickered. Rose whipped her head around and couldn’t help but gape as Toby stood, skin unnaturally pale with the black symbols all over his face and hands, eyes blood red, a vile smirk resting on his lips as he stepped toward them. “These are the words of the Beast. He is the Heart that beats in the Darkness. He is the Blood that will never Cease. And now He will Rise.”

“Officer, stand down!” Jefferson.

“He’s possessed, you won’t get through to him,” Rose said, shaking her head. She could feel the thing inside trying to bash down her shields before giving up when she put some of her starfire into protecting them, withdrawing from the light with a snarl.

  “Mr. Jefferson, tell me sir, did your wife ever forgive you?” Not Toby - the Beast - asked. Jefferson stiffened immediately.

  “…I don’t know what you mean.”

“Let me tell you a secret. She never did.”

“Don’t make me shoot you,” he whispered. The Beast smirked, eyes glowing bright scarlet.

  “But how many can you kill?” He asked, opening his mouth in a silent scream that battered their eardrums as the symbols seemed to melt into smoke off of his skin and shot into the Ood. They turned toward the humans with Hellish glowing red eyes and Rose, despite herself, flinched. Toby, devoid of the runes, coughed and collapsed unconscious to the ground, the Presence leaving his body at the same time.

  “We are the Legion of the Beast,” the Ood intoned seamlessly, holding up their little translator spheres before them like weapons.

  I’m coming back up there, the Doctor said.

No, don’t. He didn’t attack until you and Ida found that door. That tells me that, not only will he not let you back up, but that you stand the best chance of figuring out how to defeat him down there, Rose retorted.

  “The Legion will be Many and the Legion shall be Few. He has Woven himself in the Fabric of your Life since the Dawn of Time. Some may call Him Abbadon. Some may call Him Krop Tor. Some may call Him Satan, or Lucifer. Or the King of Despair, the Deathless Prince. The Bringer of Night. These are the Words that shall set Him Free.”

“Run!” Rose shouted, pulling on Jefferson’s arm as one of the Ood reached out with their orb and electrocuted part of his security team to the point of death. The Ood continued to speak, but they were running and the words faded into the banging of their shoes on the grating of the corridors.

The Doctor gasped as the Seal began to open, the center dropping down and then outward in rings as it slowly collapsed in on itself much like a dying star before entire sections split apart.

“The gravity field, it- it’s failing!” Zack exclaimed. “We’re- we’re gonna fall into the black hole!”“The Pit is open, and I am Free.”I can’t believe we’re fighting the actual Devil on our Anniversary, Rose ground out as she ran. The Doctor winced. Yeah, things could have gone better. He’d been hoping for a picnic somewhere, being honest…

  …Not the empty blackness stretching below him like it was sucking away at his soul.
