The Eleventh Doctor

[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.

It's been quiet. Suspiciously so, even. Well, I say 'quiet', but of course it's not quiet. Quite lovely today, isn't it? Well either way, I do hope everyone liked the presents--assuming they arrived on time.

Also, I have a question.

[His Abra floated onscreen, an egg in his arms.]

Did someone lose an egg?

[The Doctor gave the Pokegear a puzzled expression--looking carefully, one might see the mistletoe caught in his hair that he of course didn't seem to notice.]


[Action for anyone in the Violet Pokemon Center; have at him, but you'll get a lot of wtf in return.]

Hello there.

[The Doctor is looking particularly smug today. But seeing as he is currently flanked by two massive Pokemon, that is not at all unjustified.]



Look what I found~ [He raised his hand, in it a peculiar device.]

So. Does anyone know just where my two new friends came from?

[He's gone from traveling through time and space to LITERALLY CONTROLLING IT.]

[Johto best watch its ass.]

Hello there, Johto. How are you all doing?

[He wears a smile, calm and cheerful. But beneath that oh-so-thin layer of calm friendliness, there was a strange spark to his eyes, a smoldering flame ignited within by some unknown catalyst. Emotion invoked by something he could not, would not stand for.]

[This one Doctor--who had seen the death of civilizations and the end of the universe, witnessed the genocide of the Daleks and rewritten the decimation of the human race...this man whose true name existed only in the stars of the Medusa Cascade--was angry.]

I'm looking for a lovely young woman called Dahlia.

[And the fury of a Time Lord was not to be taken lightly.]

Video to Chrome added later:

Chrome, I'm sorry, but I have to go. There's something I need to take care of. If I manage it, I'll see you a bit further on down the road. If I don't...well, I'll deal with that when it happens.
