RP: A new body [For Fred and Alt!Ten]
Stumbling back into the TARDIS Kalli groaned, clutching her bleeding stomach. Hearing the door shut and lock behind her she heaved a pained sigh, knowing she was safe. Making her way slowly over to the console, she leaned heavily against it, panting, eyes drifting shut for a moment. She could feel the TARDIS reaching out to her, trying to help her, but she pushed it away from her mind. Instead, collecting herself, she began slowly moving around the console, clumsily setting it for earth. The young Time Lady had barely learned how to fly the TARDIS, let alone while wounded. But she managed it, and felt it start the trip back to Earth.

Seeming relieved she let herself slump to the floor, back pressed against the console. Pulling the bag she had on her shoulder into her lap, she brushed her fingers over the slightly bloodied material, before setting it on the ground. Inside the bag was a piece of one of the missing Keys to Time. She had heard about it going missing, and wanting to be useful set out to find the pieces.

Though she hadn't quite expected to meet hostiles.

Arriving on the planet she had been welcomed with open arms and the people had been very hospitable. Though after doing a little digging and questioning, she had found her way to what she was looking for. Though the people had been unwilling to give her such an artifact, having sensed it's importance. In the end, she had been reduced to stealing. Sneaking out in the evening she had made her way past all the security around the object and had managed to lift it. The only problem was the security guard she ran into on the way out.

There was a fight. Starting with fists, ending with a knife lodged right in her gut. Her TARDIS wasn't far though, and she managed to get him back and hurry into it. Feeling the TARDIS land, she groaned and pulled out her communicator, ignoring the puppy that was now circling around her, whining, worried. Turning on the communicator she tried to find her voice.

"Doctor? Fred, love?" She coughed out. "I...I seem to need a bit of...assistance..." there was a pause and the sound of more blood coughing. "Help?" and with that she passed out, the communicator clattering to the ground before shutting off as her mind faded to black.

And that's when she began to regenerate.

Romana had been a bit startled by the message, in the middle of researching her own wild-goose-chase, when she heard the pained voice come across the comms. "Kalli?" The voice sounded... pained, and as she thought about it, she felt a small inkling of the other woman's distress.

Cursing softly in Gallifreyan, she quickly exited her TARDIS, looking around for Kalli's own. Seeing it across the lawn, she headed over, psychically demanding the ship grant her entrance.

The TARDIS seemed wary at first, not wanting to let anyone in that could hurt it's pilot . But finally the doors opened, leading into the console room. One the floor near the console was one blood covered Australian Sheppard puppy, laying beside an unfamiliar looking woman. Dante's head rose as he heard the doors open and he gazed at Romana with sorrowful eyes, whining softly, before turning to gently nudge the woman on the floor.

In her regeneration, brown hair had faded to an almost dirty blond. She was slimmer, and slightly shorter than she had once been, which she would probably grouse about later. Her clothes were bloody, and her communicator lay just a few feet away with her messenger bag containing a piece of the Key to Time. Dante whined again, looking back to Romana.

So, it really was that bad. Romana sighed, quickly moving to drop to her knees next to the other woman, reaching out to check her pulses- steady, if faint- and other vitals, making sure she'd at least be alright with the physical aspect of the regeneration. That accomplished, she slumped to the floor, looking around at the scene and trying to decide what to do. Pulling out her communicator, she posted a quick message, just to relay the findings and that Kalli was apparently alright. Then, the female side finally took over again, and she let out a soft scoff of a sob, letting herself mourn the other woman's loss.

Dante heard the sob and whined again, nuzzling Romana's hand, licking at it, trying to be comforting. His tail wagged slowly, hopefully as he looked between his owner and the other woman. Standing he moved and nudged Kalli's cheek, licking at it, whimpering, trying to rouse her.

The only response he got was a cough, a groan, and a soft 'fuck'.

The feel of the blood-soaked pup did nothing but remind her of the loss, and she pushed it away as gently as she could, trying to collect herself before Kalli started to wake up.

As she heard the murmured curse, she started, glancing down warily. "Kallishunaran?" Amazingly, her voice held, although it was soft.

"Mm..Romana?" The young woman inquired, frowning a little as she realized her voice was different. "The...heck?" Groaning, since she had bonked her head on the way down, she sat up, rubbing it, finding her hair shorter. The fact that she was sitting in a pool of her own blood went unnoticed in favor of another something she just realize.

"I have two hearts." Stunning blue eyes opened and turned to Romana, filled with question. "I...oh fuck." she pressed her palm into her forehead, everything starting to come back to her.

She belatedly realized that waking up in a puddle of one's own blood was a very bad start to a regeneration. Carefully, she walked over and hooked an arm around the other woman's waist, heaving her up and leading her over to a chair- on the other side of the console, away from the sight.

Staying close enough for support, but not smothering, she sat back, sighing as she realized she just effectively covered herself in the sticky redness. "Yes, you have two hearts. You regenerated. But... you're safe. The key piece is safe. It's..." What, alright? "It happens." What more could she say?

Kalli blinked stupidly for a moment as Romana hoisted her up, feeling a bit weak on her legs. Seeing the blood, she blinked more. "That's...mine?" Settling into the chair she stared over at the blood, frowning as Dante approached her. "Oh...Dante, you are covered in blood.." 'tsking' softly she reached down and scratched behind his ear, still frowning. Sitting back she glanced at Romana, before down at what she could see of herself.

"...Huh." What else was she supposed to say? It was surreal. Pulling a compact mirror out of her pocket she ignored the slightly light headed feeling she had in favor of opening it and peering at herself, brows furrowing. She had blond hair. Running her hand through it her frown deepened. Blue eyes; that wasn't too bad. But she was...different.

"I...well shit." She laughed weakly.

"Pretty much," Was she really taking this that well? Romana was actually mildly proud. "Your vitals are normal. Everything.. visible is in place and accounted for. Pretty... standard, from here." She gave a shrug and what was hopefully a supportive smile, running a hand through her obnoxiously long hair in an old habit (one which she really needed to break).

"'Standard'?" She sighed a little, scrubbing a hand over her face. Smaller hands, different hands. Frowning she wiggled her fingers in front of her face a little. "Doesn't feel very 'standard'. Time Lords...weird." The thing that really freaked her out the most was the whole 'two hearts' thing. Checking her pulse, she sighed, feeling both sets. Weird, weird, and more weird.

Standing, her legs buckled slightly as she tumbled back into the chair, cursing. "Okay, gotcha, legs don't work yet." She sort of swung them a little, Dante watching.

She gave a bitter scoff of laughter at that. "Well, it can be worse." A pause, which ended in a sigh. "I'm glad you're alright." Watching her stumble back to the chair, she smiled, knowing exactly what that felt like. "Can I get you something, then?"

"I'm glad I'm all right, too." Stuffing her mirror back into her pocket, she glanced down at her bloody clothes. "Ah, clean shirt and pants? And maybe..." She was craving something, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Rolling different words through her head, she tried to figure out what exactly it was she wanted.

"Tea." Brows furrowed as she rubbed the back of her neck. "A cup of tea would be good."

Romana stood, taking the requests in stride until she came upon the last one. "Oh, nice try. We already have a trio of teaish Doctors, we don't need you going haywire, too. Water now, tea when you've rested." Clucking a laugh, she headed out of the room to fetch some extra clothes, and a large glass of water.

The Doctor did not want to leave the TARDIS, leave the labs, leave all the work he was doing to try to save Rose.

But something was wrong with Kalli. Her message sounded...frighteningly serious. Help? He had no idea where to go. She left no indication as to where she was. Her TARDIS would be the first place to look.

Pulling on his shoes, he darted from his TARDIS, glancing around to see if hers was there, on the lawn, and fully expecting it to not be. Oddly enough, there it was. He crossed the lawn and gave her door a few solid raps.

"Kalli! Kalli, it's me, the Doctor!"

Sitting in the chair, since Romana had left just a few minutes earlier to look around the TARDIS for something or another, probably just to poke around, Kalli sighed a little when she heard the Doctor all but pounding on the door. She couldn't help but smile a little, because he had gone to see her. Interesting.

Standing, rather slowly so not to get dizzy, she made her way over to the door. There was still blood all over the console floor, and she hadn't changed out of her bloody pants yet, but she otherwise looked fine. Getting to the door she opened it up, leaning on it slightly.

"Would have never guessed." She joked, offering him bright smile. Though even that was starting to get tiring, and she was beginning to feel a bit fatigued, not quite sure if she should be up an about after a regeneration.

After dying.

The Doctor blinked at the woman who opened the door.

"Sorry, uh, I'm looking for Kalli. This is her TARDIS, isn't it?" He tried to look behind the woman, seeing a puddle of blood on the floor. Terror sliced through him, but he kept himself calm.

"What have you done to her?" he demanded.

Oh, right. She didn't look like herself anymore. Huffing she rested her head against the door, closing her eyes briefly, willing away the dizziness. "It's me, Doctor. Kalli. Different body, same...person." Opening her now very blue eyes she peered out at him and stepped back, even though her hand never left the support of the door. "Want to come in? Sorry about the blood I haven't had a chance to clean up." She grinned a bit sheepishly.

The Doctor gave the other woman a very blatant once-over. Her clothes were a style that Kalli would've worn (or any twentysomething, so that didn't say too much), and appeared to be a size or two too tight, as was always the way with regenerations into slightly different body types. Her jeans had tears and blood on them as well.

It could've been a regeneration.

He strode over to the woman, and took her wrist---the one that was supporting her against the door---checking the pulse while he held her up with his other hand.

"Two heartbeats. Feels a bit different, eh?" He asked, "What happened?"

She seemed a bit relived that he hadn't asked anymore questions and believed her. Watching him take her wrist, she nodded a little. "Feels freaky. Two hearts." Kalli shuddered a little. "It's going to take a bit of getting used to. But ah well, comes with the territory I suppose." Offering another tired smile she gently extracted her hand from his in favor of heading over to her chair and water.

Dropping into it she took another long drink of water, shrugging. "Was trying to be useful. Decided to go on a search for a piece of the Key to Time. I found it, but apparently the people who had it didn't really like the idea of a stranger coming and taking it. I've never been on to let trivial feelings get in the way of my task, so I stole it and got stabbed in the guy by a guard."

Heaving a slight sigh, she took another drink, seeming thoughtful. "New voice...weird."

The Doctor looked down at the stain on the floor, then back up at Kalli herself.

"You know, I always wondered why my companions asked if I could change back, even if I changed into someone more attractive, what have you." He let out a bit of a wry chuckle, "You get used to a face."

And blonde? She was blonde? Damn.

"Change back? Huh. Probably because they are human, and humans don't like change." Kalli shrugged a little. "S'why they'd want you to change back. I'd probably be the same way. Or...I probably would have been the same way. Don't know now. I feel funny, off, different." Setting her now empty glass of water down her gaze too switched back to the blood stains on the floor.

"Amazing thing we do, regenerate. Would have never lived after losing that much blood..." she seemed distant just for a moment, before shaking it off and tearing her eyes away from the blood, offering the Doctor a smile.

"But I did get a piece of the Key to Time. Not even a stab wound could keep me from that." She motioned to the messenger bag laying on the ground near her communicator. "Haven't got any idea what to do with it yet, though."

"Use it to find another piece," the Doctor replied, "I've got a date with the devil---well, Catherine, same thing---to try to find another segment."

He stepped gingerly over the blood and to the messenger bag, where he pulled out the small segment, glancing over it.

"You might want to clean that blood up, it's rather...disheartening to see it. And I'll miss your former self. Grew rather fond of her."

"I'll...yeah, get to that. Cleaning up the blood." Kalli sighed a little at his words. "Yeah, I miss 'er too." Laughing weakly at that she studied the Doctor before shrugging a little.

"Been one person for hundreds of years, and then suddenly completely new. Dunno how you've remained somewhat sane after doing it, what, 9 times?"

The Doctor smirked.

"Me, sane?"

"Good point." She scoffed slightly. "So after 9 regenerations I'll probably just be as bat crazy as you are. Great. Nice to know I have something to look forward to in the future." The smile was back, though, even as a now clean but still dripping wet Dante padded into the room.

Spotting the Doctor, the wet puppy(who was actually getting close to fully grown) raced over to greet him with a bark, licking his hand, tail wagging madly.

"Some things never change." Kalli murmured, watching her pet.
