Ain't seen Dean about, have ya? Feel like I'm plannin' this wedding by my lonesome sometimes...

[bonnypiperlad]

Dean? No, I've not seen... [Wait, what?]

Did ye just say 'wedding'?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

... [ Oh. Whoops. ]

Er. Yeah... Recent...ish development.

[bonnypiperlad]

[He has the feeling he's going to regret this, but is going to ask anyway.]

And whose wedding is it you're planning, then?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Somewhat hopefully: ] Mine 'n Dean's?

[bonnypiperlad]

Yours and...oh.

[There's a fleeting look of dismay, quickly hidden by one of his more neutral expressions.]

I'd not realized ye were planning a real one. Congratulations, Kaylee.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Luckily(?) she's too busy staring at her feet to notice. ]

Like I said, more recent... Still not sure as to how it happened myself, but.

Thank you, Jamie.

[bonnypiperlad]

Well, obviously he asked ye to marry him and ye said yes.

[He's going for a bit of dry humor here, except it's not quite working.]

So when are ye planning on having the ceremony?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Didn't happen so much like that, really... Was more of we were planet-side, 'n he mentioned havin' a real one, and...

[ And here they are. ]

Can't say I know yet. Ain't seen him long enough to corner him and ask about some of the details.

[bonnypiperlad]

Wait, ye mean to say he'd not asked ye properly, he just mentioned it?

[Well, maybe to Dean it was like asking, he supposes.]

Aye, well, if he's going to marry ye, the least he can do is talk to ye about it.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Well...kinda. I guess.

[ Don't make it sound so bad, Jamie. :< ]

He will. Just been busy lately, s'all.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie is able to do that rather a lot, unfortunately. But, taking a look at Kaylee's face, he makes an effort to try and steer the conversation in a slightly more positive direction.]

Are ye happy he's asked ye, Kaylee?

Re: Jamie McCrimmon

[makeherblue]

Jamie, have you seen my goggles? Speaking of which, you better get some too, I don't want you getting blinded.

[bonnypiperlad]

Och, now what are ye up to, Doctor? [He shakes his head.]

No, I've not seen them. Not since ye said ye were going climbing in that one room with all those picture frames on the wall.

[makeherblue]

Up to? Do I look like I'm up to anything?

Wonderful. Did I say wonderful? I meant catastrophic, because we've got... [ Consults his watch and reaches down to tug at Jamie's hand ] ...well, not long at all. Better find those goggles!

[bonnypiperlad]

[Obviously he's in trouble, right up to his neck. As usual. But there's definitely a sense of urgency in that tug, and Jamie starts looking for goggles. Or anything that will work in the place of goggles.]

What's going to happen, Doctor?

[makeherblue]

Well, I probably shouldn't say that compressor that fell out was important. Or that without it, the lighting is going to get a bit...strange.

[ Blindingly strange: permanent for Jamie if they don't get him some goggles and the Doctor doesn't fancy a week long migraine for him. They both need them, the Doctor moving urgently and digging through old chests for those goggles ]

I'd say we have about a few minutes at most.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Okay, that doesn't sound good, at all. Jamie shoots the Doctor a rather nervous look, and starts digging through the old chests as well. Unfortunately he doesn't appear to be having the best luck.]

Nothing. Oh, I wish you'd find those goggles, Doctor.

[makeherblue]

Nothing? Nothing's no good, we'll simply have to keep looking!

[ The Doctor checks his watch -- he won't say "nervously", so let's just settle on "urgently". Very, very "urgently". They have about a minute to spare when he finally locates a battered pair.

Except the other half is missing. This is what happens when you shuffle things around! The Doctor shoves it at Jamie. ]

Don't just stand there staring! Get them on!

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, a-alright.

[Jamie fumbles the goggles on, but goes back to the chest in a desperate attempt to try and find a pair for the Doctor, as well. His hand closes around what he thinks is another pair - hard to tell with the goggles actually on - and he pulls them out. Is it a question of too little, too late, however?]

[makeherblue]

Jamie, those are aviators - !

[ The Doctor scrambled to try to put them on anyway, just as a bright flash hits the both of them. And it's literally hits, too: the Doctor's bowled over onto his back like a turtle that's been flipped over as something whooshes past. It lasts several seconds before it's over.

The Doctor tries to sit up, the aviators sliding down the bridge of his nose and sitting askew on his face. He gropes around for Jamie. ]

Jamie? Jamie!

[bonnypiperlad]

Hey?

[Even with the goggles on, Jamie's still blown backwards, tumbling over and coming to rest against the wall when it's all over. He shakes his head, trying to clear it of the faint disorientated sensation the flash - or the whooshing something - caused.]

Doctor?

[He pulls the goggles off, letting them rest around his neck as he looks around, not yet noticing the groping motion the Time Lord's making.]

Doctor, what was that?

[makeherblue]

[ Is that a knee? Feels like a knee. Maybe even a Jamie knee, which makes sense because Jamie's really the only closest person in the vicinity. That and he's sure that's a kilt. The Doctor reaches up to scrub at his eyes and isn't particularly surprised by the pounding headache...or the huge black spots flaring up in front of his eyes. ]

That? Bad luck. And a blown Bratlett tube. You're still in one piece, right?

[ The Doctor turns his head toward Jamie, his eyes not quite seeming to focus on anything particular. They're streaming, too, a little reddened around the edges. Still, the aviators had protected him, if only barely. The Doctor reaches up to try to fumble them off, more than sure that is most certainly a Jamie knee there. ]

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, I am.

[He pats himself down just to make sure. Yes, definitely in one piece. Although, why would the Doctor be asking? It's not like Jamie's not right there for him to see. Not to mention the other small question that seems to have just come up...]

Why do ye have your hand on my elbow, though?
