[ kotetsu, this is assuming the doctor knows how to phone to begin with. he doesn't. not really, at least. He's assuming Kotetsu's Clara. ]

I think I can describe it then. Right! Triangles! Or, specifically, right triangles. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle.

You really should know this though, didn't that school have maths?

[earnedmystripes]

[WHOOPS. tmw the guy who hits his electronics when they don't work is better at working a phone than the guy who operates a TARDIS....

...then again, Kotetsu still thinks he's talking to Barnaby.]

right triangles....which ones were those again
and high school was like twenty years ago i dont remember half that stuff
i pretty much barely passed as it was, you know that

[helpline]

You're teacher, that's no excuse.

[earnedmystripes]

its not exactly academic

[someone pls give one of these old men a clue]

[helpline]

[ aaaand now he gets it ]

You don't teach English?

[earnedmystripes]

[...]

nnnnno
youre not barnaby are you
who did you think i was

[helpline]

Clara.
Who's Barnaby?

[earnedmystripes]

my partner
whos clara

[A beat, as he (finally) looks up the ID]

is the doctor really your name or is it more like a hero name/secret id thing

[helpline]

My partner as well I suppose.
And yes it's really my name. Why wouldn't it be otherwise?

[ how'd he know that...oh wait, these things show id! He can look up id! ]

You're Kotetsu.

[earnedmystripes]

yup thats me
and i dunno, it doesnt sound very...name-y
itd be like calling someone the plumber or the bus driver all the time

[helpline]

It's a perfectly fine name! Just as good a name as Kotetsu, I'd say.

[earnedmystripes]

is the 'the' part common where youre from then
how come clara doesnt have one

also are you actually a doctor
like, the medical type

[helpline]

Why would she be called The Clara? That's stupid.

And it's more an academic doctorate than a medical one. [ aka he's useless when it comes to medicine ]

[earnedmystripes]

i dont know!!! people dont have thes in their names where im from so i thought it might be a different universes sorta deal at first but if clara doesnt then maybe not??

does that mean before you finished school your name was the student and then you changed it

[helpline]

Again, that's stupid! It's always been the Doctor.

1/2 i'm sorry

[earnedmystripes]

YOUR FACE IS STUPID

[maturity up in here]

[earnedmystripes]

so your parents were just really into you doing the grad school thing or what

[helpline]

They named me something other than the Doctor, if you want to get technical. It's just that the Doctor's my name now.

[earnedmystripes]

oh
so why the doctor?
howd you come up with it

[helpline]

Long story. Also, I don't remember.

[earnedmystripes]

wait how do you know its a long story if you dont remember it

[helpline]

Because whatever the story is, it's going to be long.

[earnedmystripes]

you dont have ANY short stories???

[helpline]

Once there was a Doctor, he stole a box, the end.

Happy now?

[earnedmystripes]

[stealing is bad u kno]
