Doctor Who plot bunny
I had a dream where I was at a convention and I lost my name badge and they made me a new name badge that said 'writer of the episode School' and that was how I found out I got a Doctor Who script accepted.
Which is a much better convention queue dream than usual, even if the next bit was having to go do Gladiators to actually get in.
But when I woke up I thiught what School could be about, and I reckon I had a pretty good plot bunny, specifically for knows they're adopted Doctor.
The Doctor, Ruby, and someone who knows the Doctor but the Doctor hasn't met yet, all get stuck in a time trap. ... yes this seems like an excuse for a self insert, but time trap is an excellent excuse to invent a future Companion with new Issues, so.
The trap looks really simple, like they have to walk around a circle where there's different colors on the floor, simples. But whenever they step off the grey flooring, even just jumping over a color, they end up back in school.
Flashbacks time, but with much younger actors.
Only obviously for two of the companions the flashbacks are consistent and the problem is a rising sense of dread that they'll have to relive whatever school bullies did to them or that time they fell off the stage.
For the Doctor it feels like losing himself, going to pieces, because not a single one of these memories are of one of them.
Not one they remember.
And I was thinking the other day about the Master trapped in the pocket watch. For a while I have reckoned the probably ethical solution to the Yana Master timeshare problem is to let Yana live out his natural and tell him to open the watch when he is dying. Because Yana has a finite time anyway and the Master can have much more afterwards.
But then I remembered the Eleven, also known as the Twelve or the Nine or the all the other numbers. They're a Big Finish character who has a Time Lord specific me tal health problem, where regeneration feels too totally distinct, and instead of being one continuous person they perceive and experience themselves as, for instance, Eleven, all still in there and still talking. Each life would have such a different take on things that the Eleven cannot put them all together to make one self.
If that is a problem for a Time Lord, the watch is *dangerous*, and more so the longer they use it. Having an extra week in your head wouldnt be as strong as having an extra lifetime.
And that made me think about the Doctor asking the TARDIS to keep hold of that memory watch. The TARDIS helps with memory anyway, as per Orbis. The Doctor is scared they don't know who they are, because they don't know who they have been. But the Doctor, if you include Big Finish, remembers the Eleven, knows there's actual precedent for a Time Lord being so foreign to themselves. Maybe they'll end up a comittee in their own mind. Maybe that regeneration episode with all their old faces was juet a prelude. Maybe they'll be outnumbered. Maybe the entire person they know themselves to be will end up the lone voice screaming for them to do something, anything, kind.
... or maybe they've reclaimed themselves from a bad lifetime already, and they know the way. Maybe they'll recognise themselves, the way we recognise ourselves looking back on child selves, even though we wouldn't act that way.
Hence, School.
The Doctor knows that kid. The Doctor has been that kid. A lot more times than the Doctor knew.
And Ruby can help him with who he is, but I think someone older has more perspective to share on how much we all change. And maybe it takes someone new to have perspective on mental illness. How fear of it shouldn't do the driving.
So we get School flashbacks, and I imagine Ruby as the most consistent and recogniseable to current family audiences, so we want a contrast. Time Lord school is going to be super weird, so not that much of a contrast. Boarding school is nice.
... we do know some characters who went to boarding school but if we make this a Turlough story then the flashbacks include The War, which is a different kind of dramatic than I was thinking of. Achievable goals. But.
I was thinking of the Doctor never being neurotypical. Of how he scraped a pass according to Romana and failed his TARDIS driving test, in a society that seems to value brains above all. Of the Big Finish audio Omega that reckons Omega got his name by getting the worst grade in the history of Gallifrey. Of the Doctor being Theta Sigma, which, on the same scale, is... a bit not good.
(I typed Theta Sigma into wikipedia to see if it would send me to Doctor Who and it did :-) ... also the wiki says He similarly poses as "the Great Wizard Quiquaequod" in The Dæmons (qui, quae and quod being, respectively, the masculine, feminine and neuter Latin translation of the nominative form of who). ... did the Doctor give his her their pronouns back in the Daemons? ;-) )
Specifically I thought, he does this time travel memory flashback thing, and gets called to answer the problem on the board, but they can't read it, because all those complicated letters are spinning and dancing. And his new to him companion gets absolutely *furious*, because on Gallifrey this is a *solvable problem*, the TARDIS solves it for everyone who travels in her!
And the Doctor hadn't thought of it that way round before, they just thought they didn't qualify for a TARDIS for ages, because they couldn't do stuff like this.
And someone else, it's Ruby's turn so, she asks the Doctor if this is proper time travel class, because then it's not just asking him to solve for x, it's asking them how they would do it.
And the Doctor grins, and tells them / the flashback Teacher how to put together a whatsit or a thingy or something that goes ding when there's stuff. A spinny junk thingy maybe, easy things, he's been doing them since he was a time tot. Just they weren't supposed to, they're supposed to get the theory down in writing first, and that never flippin worked for him.
So the other kids laugh because it sounds stupid, and the teacher frowns because he knows it's not, and asks another problem, and the Doctor answers and the teacher grins and says absolutely not, that would never work.
And the Doctor says it would work in a type 40 TARDIS.
And one of the other kids says even the soldiers only have a type three.
And the flashback ends, possibly on an ambiguous note about if they're actually changing the past or not, like if that might have been mini Master noticing the Doctor is different.
(Three is probably too far back for the Master, thirty three more likely, and I just thought of this twist and the logistics pull the story around a different corner a bit so I'm ignoring it for now.)
And after that, even in flashback the Doctor remains the Doctor, doesn't have that fuzzy forgetting bit they had been having, can keep up. So you know they're half way to solving it now. And they did that by like, taking control back, but as themselves? Like, if they were still angry upset at themself that they couldnt answer, it wouldnt work. Because it was mischief fun to give the other answer and very Doctor, then it worked.
Got to forgive themselves and work with it.
How were all three in the same flashback:
They go through a few flashbacks and it sucks, obviously, they are none of them having fun, but the Doctor goes all *brittle*, and very swiftly they break down crying. (not just because I'm imagining Ncuti!Doctor). He explains, whenever he's back there, he can feel them. In his head. They're alive, in his head, like they always used to be, and then they step out the other side and...
Both his friends hug him and hold on tight. That's *awful*. Like genocide is happening again every time they step on grey.
(They're going to think of trying to change things. He's going to know exactly why they can't.)
But if the Doctor can feel people in his head, his friends volunteer to let him in, so they hold hands and they concentrate and it is almost almost almost like contact.
But also a bit like headbutting, so maybe he starts out thinking it's worse, letting them in, and then a flashback later he hold their hands and nobody lets go.
And that is when they share the flashbacks, like they're living their own but looking over each other's shoulders.
(Which should be temporally awkward, but the Doctor says he's used to it and sort of filters it for them.)
What Ruby and newbie see in their school days:
I think it's always about being underestimated. And having a lot on that other people don't see. Like home is difficult but school is supposed to be the bit that works, until it doesnt.
Ruby can have responsibilities. Just normal big sister ones, but a lot of them, with different people, who some of them would see her at school after the fostering was finished. Biggest family ever, right?
And Ruby may or may not be academic, but there's always a lot to help other people with. So she's sort of spread thin and easy to underestimate. Smart, but still helping with other people's homework before she does her own.
And also at least one teacher would be a prick about it, like oh that's your sister? Really? Last week you had a brother. And now there's a newborn at home? And treat her like a liar. And her mum sails into school to Have A Word, and the same teacher asks something about her 'real' mum, so everyone can angry cat hiss at him.
Only Ruby always wanted to know about her mum, so say first time around she got stuck answering, because it's almost an intro to The Story but not the time. Ruby standing up for all of them from a more secure and eloquent place than she had back then would be her taking back control. Yes real mum, stop being racist, adoption is real.
(And yes that's pretty much what she was like when we met her but it's not like school is as far back for her.)
Newbie can be at boarding school and always addressed by last name. In detention all the time. "you know what you've done', but it's not even that they don't remember as an adult, they didn't remember as a child either.
Team sports fail because nobody believes they still can't catch a ball. (In flashback they have no glasses, and in the future they do. Or maybe they balance with a walking stick, later, and as a child they're just sort of slow and behind everyone. Unnoticed disability, easy help nobody offered.)
And the boss fight is Public Speaking. Ugh. The school put them in for it because they're a little professor in class and they think it'll make the school look good. But look, a big tall stage. We already know from their older self that they're afraid of the stage.
But then it's time for them to stutter and get stuck and lose their words, and adults mutter about stage fright and say to pull yourself together.
Time for Fun Facts About Autism: The Lecture!
... yes when I got a diagnosis I wanted to send leaflets to Every teacher I Ever met, so this is wish fulfilment time travel of a particular sort...
But the useful thing would have been to use a computer voice like I could in college, which wouldn't be available, so they'd just have to say Assistive Technology Counts Actually, or just have reasonable accommodation: not talking to the whole school thanks. Like I also did in college.
Now I've invented a set of constraints where the proper payoff isn't something they could have done in the past. Huh.
Their younger could have done a speech about it. Possibly by closing their eyes and hiding behind the podium while everyone laughed, but whatever works.
Their older self would be helping just by bringing the gift of the TARDIS for that little while. That would be why they don't have speech problems in the present day, the TARDIS can translate smoothly for them.
But that's just the bit people see hear. It's actually about forgiving yourself for who you weren't yet, because who blames a child for that?
Okays, so that's three of them out of the trap.
... whoever built the trap and whatever they wanted them to do...
Well it is the temptation to get stuck relitigating the past, isn't it? It's trivial stuff for most humans, but for the Doctor, he might know it wouldn't work, but the emotional wrench of having to walk away from trying... pretty good trap.
Haven't invented the bad guy who would set it. Let us leave that a mystery for another episode.
I might want to try and pull the threads together. Like if Ruby was trying to get reasonable disability stuff for siblings, and they couldnt even get an assessment. Or that is how the youngest flashback started but by the last one things have got better? I don't know if I want to be optimistic about a school system that keeps being in the headlines but there's a balance to be struck on progress. Like if boarding school was an attempt to get a kid into a school system that could actually help them, but the newer story is about getting the existing system to work right.
I did have another idea but it made me cry and is super harsh. Okay, but, why does the young Doctor get regenerated so much they're in school so many times? For research into regenration, as per canon, sure, but once it is clear that every body is distinctly different? For a cure. 'For their own good'. Because anyone who would experiment on a child for their own benefit could want to see if regeneration makes them better, or worse. And eventually the Doctor gets all the way to grown up, we know that, but the particular horror of being made to redo the year by being made to actually get younger... well that popped into my head and was Upsetting. Reckon the Doctor's friends figuring out some of the reasons to be really, really, angry might move that story in useful directions as well.
I think that is a pretty good plot bunny, as bunnies go. It is not an outline yet and has a few places that need a bunch of work, but as a bunny, pretty good.
And bunnies are free to a good home, because it is not like any two of us would write the same story anyway.
I did not exactly have a wrap up to that idea though, triumphant ending where, like The Teacher is revealed or something. It's just a bunch of character in a light sci fi wrapper.
Then I got distracted by wanting this older disabled companion to meet silver hair Jack who is having to deal with ageing? But like, by running around in the background of his younger self's life, because it isn't like the him living linear can have aged that much yet. So we get some old footage of classic Jack laughing or something ordinary, mix it with a lot of stunt men being Jack, and then have now silver Jack doing the talking, but it turns into a Doctor lite episode because the Doctor and young Jack can Run, but the disabled companion and silver Jack have slightly different problems with keeping up, possibly involving the bloody stairs. Jack likes to be tall but getting up there is going to get more challenging. And once he is old he is going to be old a very, very, long time. So he is not going to want to admit to the ageing thing, but time travel as a device can give him a side by side comparison. And a disabled person ageing at the usual pace can gently challenge him on the whole 'it'll get better, it always does' attitude. And ask if hels seen a doctor this century. Which could get a very sad wistful face actually, should use that exact phrasing.
I have no idea what the plot is doing, I just want to have this chat with silver Jack.
Because in the books he expressed a terror of ageing and becoming dependent, and that is a Conversation, that can include pointing out that when he found someone like that he helped them, and he isn't the only one. I get by with a little help from my friends, reprise.
Reframe Jack from action hero to *very reluctant* mentor leader organiser. ... he would absolutely hate having others be the ones charging into danger, but if he can no longer get there in time...
Useful story, just needs, like, an entire plot and a place to live in the verse.
Or young!Jack needs sent away conveniently, and sliver edition is only now getting back to Earth.
Something though. Where the story isn't only the spectacle of not dying. Jack can have layers.
Two bunnies, no waiting.
