☄ 006; [video]

[The Pokegear clatters to the ground along with the rest of the Doctor's equipment--he runs forward a few steps, appearing onscreen at an odd angle given where the camera's lying. The background is dark and rocky--Union Cave, perhaps?]

No, nonono she can't have gotten away, the worst ones always get away, not this time--

[Out of breath from all that running (human bodies were so unreliable, what with one heart and all) the suit-wearing Doctor leaned on a rocky wall with an expression that, while hard to see in the darkness, was unmistakably Not Pleased. And when the Doctor is Not Pleased, things tend to get a bit messy.]

...She won't get away. Not from me, not for long. They always come back, and I always win in the end. The Master, the Daleks, the Cybermen, I can handle all that. One human won't be any trouble once I find her.

[There was an odd air of determination to the Doctor as he straightened up, dusted off his suit (which, incidentally, was covered in dust, dirt, and grass stains; he's not had an easy few days) and strode right over to his Pokegear to pick it up. He was smiling by this point--the smile of a man who enjoyed a challenge and was going to meet it with all he had. The Doctor's sentences were short, his voice calm and determined.]

Chrome. I'm coming back to Violet.

Phoenix, you had better still be recuperating. If I come back and find out you're dead, I'm going to be very cross indeed.

As for the rest of you--especially you, yes you Dahlia--I don't give up. Don't know how.

This isn't over.
dragonspeak: (Okay--let's just think about this)

Your safety's more important. Besides...she's new to the area, as well. I wouldn't doubt she's probably just as lost as you are.

I'm not exactly worried about dying, to be honest. And if she is lost, then I have to admit I'm a little worried. Might not be much better leaving her here than it would be handing her over to everyone wanting her dead.
dragonspeak: (Er...Gwen says you're cooking)

This has something to do with who you are...doesn't it? [He tilts his head, looking very curious] You said "you humans" last time, as if you aren't human yourself.

Got it. Figured you for a sharp one.

I'm a Time Lord. We tend to cheat death a bit, and I cheated it quite recently. Tends to give one the feeling of not being due for another flirt with the proverbial reaper for a while.
dragonspeak: (Nor I a father)

[His curiosity practically increases by ten fold] I've never heard of a Time Lord before. What exactly do you do?

Me? I travel. Through time.

I'm a time traveler. Well, time-and-space-traveler, but that's not quite as catchy as 'time traveler'.
dragonspeak: (Was that actually a compliment?)

[He sucks in his breath, eyes widening] That sounds like an awfully difficult and draining spell.

Spell, what spell? I don't use a spell. I'm the Doctor, not the Level 5 Black Magician.
dragonspeak: (Okay--let's just think about this)

All right...so not a spell. [He thinks of his own Dragonlord abilities and wonders if there's a similarity] Is it a hereditary ability?

Well...yes. Yes and no. Only Time Lords had the technology to safely and accurately--well, sometimes accurately--move through time and space. My time machine-slash-spaceship-slash-miscellaneous transport is called a TARDIS.
dragonspeak: (Er...Gaius?)

You...lost me at "machine", but I think I got the gist of it. [Sheepish smile] You have something in your possession that allows you to travel through time, right?

[Merlin thinks he can accept that. If there are crystals that allow someone to see the future, then why not objects that could allow people to actually travel to the future?]

Yes. Well, time and space. But I don't have it with me.
dragonspeak: (There must be something I can do)

That doesn't surprise me, if I have to be honest. [Wry smile] This place has a habit of taking away anything useful to us.

Yes, I had noticed that.
