☄ 012; [video]

[The video is seen at an awkward angle at first, before the Sandshrew holding it managed to straighten it out. Today the view is that of a thoughtful Doctor with his Abra sitting on his lap. He's not looking at the camera, instead looking out the nearest window.]

The tenth's gone. [His words were short and strangely clipped compared to the animated rambling he usually greeted Johto with.] Just as well. Things tend to turn out wrong when there's more than one Doctor in one place.

...Jenny as well. I was looking forward to seeing her again--it's been a long time. Too long.

[He paused, took a breath and sighed...then turned to greet the camera with a smile, seemingly back to his usual self.]

Shame, that. But these things happen, don't they? People come and go as they please; there's a good chance our timelines will intersect again sooner or later. That's the thing about time travel, you see all sorts. The universe is a big place, bigger than most can imagine, but I do tend to find the important people when I need them. Or when they need me. Usually the latter.

[Adric jumped off his trainer's lap as the Doctor stood up, floating at his side.]

Chrome? I think I should be moving on soon. Stayed in one place too long, not quite my thing.

I'm not a doctor of time, I'm a Time Lord. So was he; we're the same person.

So... there have been least ten of you running around here in Johto at different points?

What. No, of course not. That would be ridiculous.

You see, when a Time Lord dies, they regenerate. New body, new voice, new personality. I've gone through it quite a lot by now--this is my eleventh. Hewasthe previous: hence 'tenth'. It'd be all sorts of confusing if we called each other the same name.

Ah. Some kind of species specific thing. Makes more sense then some of my other theories.

You caught on to that much faster than most. Usually all I hear is "what's a Time Lord" and"oh well you look human."

I suppose someone is more likely to be aware that anyone here could be a great grape green glob monster when they're back home when they themselves weren't human beforehand either.

Well put, I'd say.

So if you aren't human, what exactly are you?

I was a troll. I'm from Alternia but was hiding in a lab on a meteor before I got here.

Alternia, Alternia...where exactly is that? I don't think I've heard of that one.

It's pretty much a dead hunk of rock now. Sgrub pummeled it with meteors and the vast glub killed almost all of the rest of our species.
