This isn't right. Not that background music for one's everyday life is a typical occurrence, mind you. But this, this music is Not Right. That's with capital letters, by the way, to underscore the not right-ness of the situation.

Now I don't think whatever's playing this background music would just suddenly switch to rather threatening tones without reason. So I have to think that perhaps something is coming.

Maybe several somethings. Maybe a flock, or a fleet, or a similarly alliterative name for a group of Somethings. That's with another capital, because I don't think this is just a something, this is a Something.

Which leaves the question, just what is this Something and how do we stop it? Questions. Plural.

Well, aren't we all lucky.

There's a Doctor in the house.

You sound pretty knowledgeable. I guess if you travel a lot, you must be.

I like to think I am.

Even if you don't see all of it, humans persist for a long time. A long time. That's what you're best at, persisting.

So if you're not a human, what are you?

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Time Lord.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

And a Time Lord is--?

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Me. I'm a Time Lord. Didn't we just go over that?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

-- you're a Time Lord, but you look like you're human.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

No, you look like a Time Lord.

We came first.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

So where you come from, humans are made to look like Time Lords.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you were made to look that way. Big universe, not too much of a shock that one race looks like another.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

... that's a weird thought.

But I guess you're right.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Told you, the universe is a big place.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Oi oi, I never doubted you.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Course not.

But it's brilliant, don't you think? All these planets, all these races, and humans are the ones that last. Ephemeral, simple humans, living for millions of years. Trillions, even.

[bakaitoukid]

And it's something that'll remain a complete mystery for a good, long time, too.

[video]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with that. Mysteries are brilliant, I love them.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

And some things are just meant to stay mysteries~

It's all the other things I like, myself.
