40 years late

[Eleven's voice sounds a little pained as he dictates]

I apologize for my absence this past week or so. I've been a bit... distracted. I'm afraid I've been a bit, well, ill for lack of a better te-eerm! [The last word turns into a cry of pain. There's a thud as the journal hits the floor and he grabs hold of the console to keep from falling over. After a moment he picks the journal up again and sighs heavily.]

Since it's not showing any signs of going away any time soon I'm forced to concede that this may be another of the castle's ploys... though to what end is completely beyond me. If anyone needs me I'll be in my TARDIS

[Lakare]

If you have a moment, would you mind coming over here? This is very... disconcerting. I wouldn't mind a second opinion, as it were.

((ooc: Finally, the much delayed canonbump!! He'll be suffering from regeneration sickness for the next week or so (As well as rapidly aging over a century... not that it'll show or anything.) Open over the journal or in the TARDIS if you're so inclined.))

[At first she says nothing. She's not even sure why she's here. Nonetheless, she rises a few inches and floats toward him across the console room.]

What did you do to yourself this time.

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[He watches her, quizzically] I could ask the same thing of you.

[He winces as he shifts in the seat] I haven't done anything. I believe it's the castle, somehow.

[psych0p0mps]

[Makes a metallic "hmph" and blinks unevenly. Her eyelids aren't quite synchronized, see.]

Everything is the castle. Is that how I know you?

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

How you know... [wait a second. Well... she IS currently a robot.]

Yes. We met here, at the castle. We've known each other for quite some time.

[psych0p0mps]

[Time, time, time. See what's become of me-]

... Okay. [She can believe that. She guesses. May as well.]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

Though, I must say, you're looking quite a bit difference than you did the last time I saw you.

[psych0p0mps]

[Tilts her head with a slight creak.]

Sollux says I was alive.

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[he nods] You were. You are

[psych0p0mps]

Only one of those things is true. You can scan if you want.

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head]

I don't need to scan. I can tell just by looking at you, by speaking with you.

[a pause] What do you remember?

[psych0p0mps]

Lots of things. I remember being in the Veil. Then waking up here a week ago.

...

And then some memories that don't fit in anywhere. Fragments. Like you.

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

Fragments? What do you remember of me?

[psych0p0mps]

[loading.............]

... You were stolen.

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes I was. At least, so she tells me. [He smiles up at the console]

[psych0p0mps]

And she... [looks with him at the console. she doesn't need to be god tier to recognize the phenomenal timey-wimeyness of this construct she's inside.]

... your time machine. [And yet, it's not all machine...]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

So you remember me, and my TARDIS... interesting.

[psych0p0mps]

I guess so.

[ . . . ]

Are you feeling better?

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[He sighs] A bit. It comes and goes. I can still feel it [He taps the side of his head] But the worst of the pain seems to have passed for the moment...
