Day 7 | Voice | ID: Calendar Man

[exceptfebruary]

January 6th, 2017. Epiphany. It has been one year since I was ported in. Happy anniversary.

[ Julian's voice is cool and calm, matter of fact and without emotion. ]

It has been quite a year, hasn't it. Soviet kidnapping. Occupation. Brainwashing. ImPorts being replaced by a version of themselves from an alternate timeline. Or from another point in time. Murders, monsters, memories, mayhem. [ He skims over the rest to get to the important part: ]

I was busy the past year. [ Now he sounds a little bit proud of himself. ] Leprechauns on St. Patrick's. Playing a prank on the capital on April Fool's. Stealing the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July. Improving Disney World's Halloween.

In December I decided to give back to the community. Christmas. Hanukkah. Yule. Kwanzaa. So many holidays based on giving. So for many of you, I gave on your behalf. I'm sure the people of this world enjoyed the donations selected from your own homes.

[Which basically means he just admitted to a few thefts. At least your stuff is in better hands now? ]

Now it is a new year. I hope many of you will follow your New Year's Resolutions. Don't give up on them early.

And it appears it's the season for new imPorts again. Welcome, newcomers. I hope this post gives you something to look forward to in the coming year.

Have a nice day.

I'll stick to mine if you stick to yours.

[ no comment about the thefts because the Doctor...can kind of overlook petty theft, at least it's not causing mass chaos AGAIN. ]

Would that be a deal, then?

[ Also he donated what he stole to charity, that totally cancels it out, right? ]

Julie, I can't believe-- [No, she can. She can absolutely believe.] I liked that jewelry! [At least, she's going to assume it's his fault now. She figured she just lost it somewhere or shoved it under a pile of stuff, and there's still good odds some of it will turn up at the bottom of her sock drawer or in the kitchen. She doesn't keep track of things so good.]

I'm sure the woman's shelter likes them more. [ He is not in any way apologetic. ] Or rather, the money I got from selling them. Easier to put to use.

[oh good, just remind him of all the various sorts of terrors he's had to put up with, thanks. And all this talk of New Year's sparks a thought...]

...Hold on, hold on, are you the one who left that bloody note for me?

permavid

[exceptfebruary]

Already failing point one, I see.

[restingstitchface]

I'm certain you enjoyed breaking and entering so many houses per day, Mr. Day. It must have been analogus to opening a literal advent calendar. For you.

[No harm no foul? Forgetting to mention his own resolutions, though.]

[exceptfebruary]

Except Advent Calendars are opened before Christmas, and this was after. It was more similar to Hanukkah presents, perhaps.

[ Pause. Delicately going to press, just a little. ]

How do you feel about the new year?

[aggressiveapathy]

What present do I get this year?

permavid

[exceptfebruary]

What do you want? April Fool's, Passover, Easter?

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

Apparently I should be listening to you more. It's one of my new resolutions.

[Jacob looks at April as though hoping she'll explain the mind of Calendar Man to him.]

What the hell.

Did you Robin Hood my computers?

permatext

[exceptfebruary]

I don't know if I like the term "Robin Hood". But you do get the gist.

[glowsferatu]

Speaking of, just what was "be kind to your child" meant to imply?

[exceptfebruary]

To continue to be a good mother. It's important to you.

[deadkord]

You know this is absolutely a violation of your parole, right?

permavid

[exceptfebruary]

[ Julian looks relaxed, not regretting it but not going to deny it either. ]

I am aware. You may report it. I will accept the consequences.

[beneathbluerafters]

You! You were responsible for--?!

[exceptfebruary]

Of course I was.

voice

[viced]

Huh.

New Years resolutions, huh?

[ COME ON JULIAN ]

permavoice

[exceptfebruary]

The traditional way to start the new year, from secretaries to senators.

[After looking through the other responses he figures Julian has to be the one to have left his "resolutions"]

You got another bolt with your name on it, Sunshine.

[exceptfebruary]

I saw that you weren't pleased.

voice

[khajidont]

Sooooo, any New Years resolutions? Like, I don't know... maybe doing more of that whole invasive advice thing, less of the whole chaos and theft stuff?

[AT LEAST THIS SEEMS RELATIVELY HARMLESS]

permavoice

[exceptfebruary]

I do have a list, yes. [ The Doctor had given him one. People writing other people new year's resolutions isn't really traditional but he'll accept it. ]

I may try it. For this season, at least.

[acclimatized]

You broke into my house and left me that list of resolutions?

[exceptfebruary]

Does that bother you?

voice;

[baetiful]

It sounds as though you've been quite generous during the holiday season.

But perhaps most importantly, Happy Anniversary, Julian. How will you celebrate this day?

permavoice;

[exceptfebruary]

[ Baelish is the first one to actually congratulate him on his anniversary, so Julian's tone is pleased. ]

I'm currently enjoying some king cake. Perhaps later I'll open a bottle of champagne. Nothing big. [ IE he's not going to ""celebrate"". ] I've been busy recently.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

You're the one that stole Mabel's sweater.

[Unforgivable.]

voice > video

[exceptfebruary]

I donated it to a children's hospital. Speaking of, I have a message to you from them.

[ And he briefly switches on video to show a CARD. ]
