The members of the Dinner Party decided to split up to cover more ground. With 12 people, the buddy system was used and 6 groups of 2 people each vacated the main room and headed up to look at the floor above.
The Judoon Captain and Ood Sigma became a pair and opted to stay on the main floor. Sarah Smith decided this was her time to do some detective work, so K-9 and herself joined up with a young man standing suspiciously in the back corner. She didn't want to give identity away, so she created a pseudonym (a username, if you will) and walked over to introduce herself.
She told the man in the corner her alias and held out her hand to shake. "Hi," The man said, "I'm <color=grey><b>Voltglos</b></color>". Sarah asked if he'd like to go and explore the mansion, and he said yes. So the three of them headed upstairs.
The first room they entered was the kitchen. They saw two guys in there messing around with kitchen whisks and plunger looking things; one even looked like he had one of the whisks coming right out of his body! "How silly..." Sarah muttered and walked down the hallway. Voltgloss and K-9 lingered a little bit longer before following their companion.
The next room they entered was the ballroom. The walls were painted a dull pink and long drapes covered the windows. A couple of lounge chairs were pushed against the back wall and big chandelier hung from the ceiling, but several bulbs were out, casting a dark shadow across the giant room. The room itself was bare except for one person standing in the center of faded purple carpet. The guy looked to be doing some sort of mechanical dance. His arms moving in robotic fashion and legs awkwardly teetering side to side.
"Groovin' moves!" Sarah shouted. The man looked up, startled and quit with the dance moves. He composed himself and quickly walked out of the room. He didn't reply or anything. Only a dull humming could be heard emitting from him.
Voltgloss stared at the man for a little while longer before turning back to face the ballroom. His eyes lit up as he pranced his way to the center of the room. "This room reminds me of my wedding day..." He sighed, leaping through the air and performing dazzling pirouettes; showing exactly what 5 years of ballet can teach you.
K-9 and Sarah Jane exchanged a glance before she asked, "Excuse me, um, sir. What is your actual name?"
Voltgloss stopped mid-spin and turned to face her. He figured that this girl seemed trustworthy enough to tell her his actual name.
"Donna Noble." He, er, she responded.
Sarah's eyes grew wide and thought "So he's a girl. Or she's a boy. Or.." She shook her head, trying not to think too hard about it and asked, "So how was your wedding day?"
"Oh a complete disaster." Donna said. "Robot Santas crashed the party and my groom ended up being a servant to an evil arachnid." She laughed at and gazed at a tall window, staring at the faint light coming through the drapes, "But I did end up meeting The Doctor."
Sarah Jane Smith smiled, "So you were his companion?"
"Yes." She said, "But not at first. You see, he asked me to travel with him, but I said no. I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it; I would go mad! And I did go mad! But not because he was by my side; but because I was away from his. I eventually found him again, and he offered again to have me join him in his TARDIS. This time I said yes. We went on wonderful adventures across the entire scope of the galaxy meeting new species and saving planets. But planets weren't the only things we saved. I ended up saving the entire galaxy! From Dalek Caan! Hah! Me! Could you believe it?"
She stared blankly, and then turned and walked back towards Sarah. "But then he dropped me off and, poof, just like that I was back to my normal life. My memory wiped as if it had never happened."
Donna began walking down the hallway with K-9 and Sarah following close behind. Sarah Jane Smith grew puzzled and asked, "But if your memory was wiped, how would you have known your memory was wiped in the first place?"
Donna laughed. "Time doesn't work like that. You should know that better than anyone, Sarah Smith."
"How did she know my name!?" Sarah thought. But she didn't get any time to ask. When they rounded a corner and peered down the grand staircase, they could see Ood Sigma, the Judoon Captain and 8 other guests were waiting for them at the base of it. And they didn't look happy.
"There she is!" Someone yelled. "Grab her!"
Sarah cowered in fear, scared of what the mob would do to her. But then she realized it wasn't her they were after.
"Let me go you ruffians!" Donna exclaimed. Struggling to get out of the grip of two people grabbing onto either arm. Hey! Sarah thought," These were the same two yahoos that were in the kitchen!
Sarah Jane Smith ran after her. "Stop! What are you doing!?"
"She's a Dalek!" One of the mobsters yelled. The others cheered in agreement. "We found this in her bag!" Someone said, holding a slightly bent kitchen whisk high in the air. A classic Dalek weapon!" Everyone yelled triumphantly. "Now let's lynch her!"
"No! No no no!" Sarah Smith protested, trying to shove her way through the crowd. But it was no use. The cheers of the crowd had reached a volume so high, no one could hear her.
The throng of people grew louder as the Judoon Captain pulled out a blaster and pointed it at Donna Noble. She tried to move out of the gun's scope, but she couldn't. The two men who were messing around in the kitchen had pinned her to the wall and were smiling maliciously.
"That's just a kitchen whiiiiiiiiisk!" Sarah Smith said in an over-dramatic slow-motion fashion. But it was too late. The Captain had pulled the trigger and vaporized Donna Noble to ashes.
Voltgloss, otherwise known as Donna Noble the Town-aligned Vanilla Townie has been lynched.
