(Lol that makes sense.)
“Hey, listen. If we’re gonna be trapped here, at least let us try and call for help.” Jaws said as the Doctor went around, confiscating everyone’s phones. “That’s what I’m trying to do, call for help. Give me your phone, now.” the Doctor said to Kaite.
Kaite nods, giving his phone to him. "Here." He muttered.
Wait, who names someone Jaws? His eyes trailed to the person whom called themself 'jaws'
“I’m going to send a message to a friend of mine. I say friend. More like mortal enemy who wants me dead, but patayto patahto.” he shrugged, using his sonic screwdriver to zap the phones into working as he needed them to. “I’ve reversed the polarity of the neutron flow for all but your phone, Kaite. Now the others act like small cell towers. You’ll be in for a treat, now hold on to your ears, they might just blast of with the feedback I’ll be getting. Usually calling my ship isn’t so hard, but my mortal-frenemy made some modifications after the last infestation of sonic worms.”
Kaite tilted his head. "Sonic worms- What–" He paused. "Could you please, explain sir?" He asked, now very confused.
(Kaite has like, no questions? None at all? Sorry if I sound weird but you’re being kinda passive, I’d like to see you get more active in the plot if that makes sense.)
(ah- OKIUHDSIHDo Okay- Sorry, I'm tired and can't think today-)
(No, that’s valid! I’m just hoping to see a little more spark, you know?)
The Doctor called, and waited for an answer. None came, but the phone was still ringing, so whoever the Doctor was calling was probably taking a while to answer.
(Yeah, I understand- I apologize.)
Kaite sighed. "Wait, what are Sonic- Or- Whatever you called them, and what on earth is going on?" He questioned, worried and confused at the same time.
(Is that better-?)
(Yeah, thank!)
“We are under attack from creatures not of this earth. And sonic worms, they travel the airways, they’re a real nuisance. There’s probably at least ten of them in your head now, they’re responsible for getting songs stuck in your head.” he explained.
Kaite paused. "Oh, no, really?" He pauses, concerned. "And I know they're not from this earth, sir. But what do you think they are?"
“That I don’t know. I’ve never seen anything like this before, well, I have, twice now, but nothing like this-this.” he said. “Now stop wasting my time with silly questions and start asking the important ones. Like why they’re even here for a start!” he said. Then, after a beat, “go on, ask.”
Kaite tilted his head. "I was just about to ask that- Why are they here?" He paced up to the Doctor, looking up at him.
“No idea. But! I’m working on it. Damn, the phone isn’t working! Well, now I’ve just broadcasted my location to several hostile alien groups, better shut that off before anything bad happens.” he said, with absolutely no shame.
Kaite froze. "Wait- What?!" He yelped, nervously. "H-Hostile?!"
“Towards me specifically, don’t worry.” he said. “Well, and maybe to humans. It’ll be forever until they get here, and once they see I’ve bolted, because I will be gone by morning, believe me, they’ll leave. Except maybe… ah, they don’t matter, they were wiped out centuries ago.” he rambled.
Kaite's nerd side had kicked in. "What was wiped out??" He asked, slightly impatient to figure out.
“An ancient alien race, I really forget what the called themselves by. It doesn’t matter.” he said coldly.
Kaite. "Are you sure? And it seems that it matters to me, sir. You seem- uh- Dark, about it."
“I’ve given up on caring.” he said roughly. “Caring takes too much energy. Doing, now that, while energy-draining, is easier to deal with.”
Kaite wasn't good with motivation, but he paused. "I heard that caring means more work, which leads to succeeding." He points out, trying to help him.
“I’ve never met a single person who succeeded with caring, including myself.” he said gruffly. He genuinely didn’t care for this human’s antics. “Ya know, we are still here. And while I appreciate a good debate as much as anyone else, there are killer monsters outside the door right now and we have no way of escaping them unless we actually work towards it.” Jaws said.
Kaite glared toward him as well as another girl did.
The girl's name seemed to be Kate.
"Ah, shut up! If were all gonna die, I at least wanna see a bit of drama." She scowled at Jaws.
Kaite sighed, but nodded. "So, um… What do we do?"
“First, we find what we’re here for. One of us, me exempted, is an alien. Or has angered some aliens, by the looks of it.” the howling was getting louder.
“Why you exempted? You could easily be an alien too, you know. Or pissed one’a em off.” Angus said roughly.
“Well, I am, hello! But I’m almost certainly not the one they’re looking for, trust me. If they were looking for me, they’d have killed you all and had me in chains by now.” he said pessimisticly.
Kaite nodded. "Hm, okay. But why else would they be hunting you down?" He asked, leaning his head to the side.
“I don’t know which of you all they’re hunting, but I dearly hope it isn’t for a reason I’d find morally objectionable. Kaite, are you an alien? Tell me, honestly.”
