☄ 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.

No, but calling each other by name gets confusing.


...Bit difficult stopping it all from creating a paradox and destroying the universe, though.

[Shakes his head, smiling] Because that isn't troublesome at all, of course. Do you all really call each other by numbers?

Of course not. I only put it that way to avoid saying 'when I was old, when I was a clown, when I had that scarf, when I wore celery on my jacket' and so on.
dragonspeak: (O-of course that's not funny)

But that isn't much better. [Grinning all the same]

No, but it takes a shorter time to explain, now doesn't it?
dragonspeak: (We could talk about it while we walk)

[personal profile] dragonspeak 2011-02-09 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose it does. [Pause] How much of your previous lives do you remember?

...What, you think I'd forget any of them?
dragonspeak: (I thought you believed in equality)

[personal profile] dragonspeak 2011-02-09 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I've no idea, honestly. Isn't it a lot to remember, if this is your 11th life?

Well, I haven't had it for long. When I first got here, it was maybe a day or so after I'd regenerated--that week I was asleep was roughly a year for me. Granted, I did have one regeneration last a litte under a year, but this one might stick for a while.
dragonspeak: (Er...Gwen says you're cooking)

[Wait. Did he just--] You mean you...wake up as an adult?

Of course. That'd be rubbish, going through childhood all over again.
dragonspeak: (I thought you were going for a hug)

[A moment to collect himself] ...maybe not so many years, then.

I did go a long time without using my first regeneration, and that was...er...let me see, about forty years ago? No, wait. Forty-four.
dragonspeak: (Yeah. I guess it is sort of important)

I...wouldn't know. [Shakes his head] I think it's remarkable--isn't it hard to get the facts straight sometimes?
