[She'll just have to pardon the staring then, won't she? It's a bit shocking, seeing your daughter explode into a completely different woman.]

...Melody?

we interrupt this angsty timeline for a brief comedic interlude

[riverborntorun]

Dad! Look, I'm okay! [Her smile is bright, and then it quickly becomes a frown. She clacks her teeth together.] Okay, that's weird...

[She taps her front teeth with her finger, and suddenly becomes aware that her shirt isn't fitting quite as well as before. She looks down at her figure.]

Oh. Oh. [Eyebrows raised, she looks back up to her father, her own shock reflecting his. She tucks the leather jacket around herself, feeling modest because DAD.] ....Oh, Jeremy's SO not going to like this.

hooray :)

[themanwhodies]

[He's just going to keep on staring. And well. Shocked...feelings. Fear. Monsters in his house. He can spare a moment later to be annoyed about Jeremy.]

We...we need to go.

Side-effect of regeneration - comedy to be had

[riverborntorun]

Go? Go where?

*exactly*

[themanwhodies]

Anywhere but here. We need to find your mother, and we need to run.

[And find the Doctor. Somehow.]

[riverborntorun]

Yeah. Right. Okay. [Her brain is still trying to adjust to everything, and it's just easier to go along with what Dad's saying.]

...Is this a bad time to mention I flunked gym?

[themanwhodies]

[Slowly, carefully.]

I think, strictly speaking, that doesn't matter as much.

[riverborntorun]

Oh. Super. [Well that's a relief. She zips up the leather jacket as best she can, following her father. And trying to surreptitiously feel how much her breast size has changed.]

[themanwhodies]

Just...get in the car. Quickly.

[Once he's in the car, he's going to take a moment to cover his face and sigh. This is...incredibly trying. Frustrating.]

[riverborntorun]

[Shotgun it is. She feels a brief wave of nausea, that there's something she's forgetting to do... But she brushes past it, getting into the car. Her now-wild hair rubs against the top of the ceiling. She pulls down the car visor to look at herself in the mirror.] Wow....it just doesn't stop, does it?

[She's a little bit caught up in herself, so it takes her a moment to look over at her father, sighing into his hands.] ...Dad?

[themanwhodies]

Nothing. It's fine.

[Lowering his hands to see one of those things is standing in front of the car. Startling!]

[riverborntorun]

[She looks up as well and jumps a little in her seat.] Shit!

[themanwhodies]

[He puts the car in reverse, keeping his eye on the creature.]

It's okay...

[riverborntorun]

Dad, what are those things? My frie- I, mean, um...they never said.

[themanwhodies]

I don't know. I think...we need the Doctor, but I don't know.

[riverborntorun]

Yeah. The Doctor. [A memory returns, echoing in her mind. Born to die and kill the Doctor...Embrace your destiny.... She shakes it off.]

....D'you think he'll like my new look?

[themanwhodies]

[He drives. Because God, they need to get the hell away from these things.]

I'm not calling the Doctor.

[Not after everything she said.]

[riverborntorun]

Oh come on, Dad! Just because I'm all mature now is a completely stupid reason to not call him.

[themanwhodies]

That's not why.

[riverborntorun]

Oh. It's 'cause I said I was going to...

I suppose that's a better reason. [She looks down at her lap a little.] But, I mean, I haven't got a gun anymore and it doesn't look like the...whatever it was...is... can take me anywhere like they said they would.

[themanwhodies]

Your mother will know what to do.

[riverborntorun]

[She looks back at herself in the mirror.] ...I'm totally in trouble, aren't I?

[themanwhodies]

At the moment, no. Later, yeah.

[riverborntorun]

[She sinks down lower in her seat, legs pulled up and resting against the dashboard.] Great. I'm still getting grounded at this age.

You haven't suddenly become over 18, whatever body you're in.
