TARDIS Hat Stand

The TARDIS’s wall-mounted hat stand juts from the console room’s curving wall, its brass hook dimpled from long use. Lightweight but sturdy, it wobbles when the Doctor leans against it during turbulence. K9 nudges it with a caster as the chessboard overturns, sending a solitary hat tumbling. The stand’s hollow metal tube rattles against the curved paneling, sounding the only discordant note amid the ship’s automated adjustments.
