Session Start: Thu Jan 11 19:09:06 2001 * Logging #whosim to '#ja1.log' Meanwhile the Doctor gets warning via his time safe that Damon, his earth friends and Earth are in peril from some as yet named forced. We must go to Earth and save Damon and Earth. OK * IrishTCat doesnt want to save the earth I suggest we do something like was done a few eps ago in Buffy - a demon that comes from outerspace in a meteorite. Ok I am almost in character :) The ep had this really disgusting alien demon that was killing crazy people. (in the safe you'll find an explanatory note, along with 3 tickets to the last performance of the Scarlet Pimpernel musical at the Temple Buelle Theatre in Denver,co, on 12/31/00) I say that everyone thinks Irish is the demon instead :) Oh cool. Sounds good to me. Are we ready for a little play? * IrishTCat meows you can have some kind of monster show up and interrupt the performance if you want, right after the intermission at the end of Act 1 I can take any and all female Buffy roles as needed. yep yep, am ready, we should do a quick casting call <=========Damon and Smithers Warning: I have never seen a Buffy episode. all you have to do in concentrate on being the Doctor:-) <<--Irish T(he King of the Time) Cat So help a bumbling Doctor out on this one.
