Forty-nine

Well, that was ... fun.

['oof' noise]

Back to normal now, if anyone's wondering about me.






For Future Reference In Case There Actually Is Such a Thing as Logic in Paradisa: human loss number two, one day shy of two weeks. Quite a bit different as compared to eight days the first time.

Probably doesn't mean anything.

((ooc: Time Lords, you've finally got that missing presence back~))

Back to normal?

That's great.

[not-from-mars.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? I mean -- I didn't mind it, not as much as I did last time, but. One sort of gets attached to one's own biology.

[traveling-rose.livejournal.com]

[still written]

- true.

[not-from-mars.livejournal.com]

Yep. I think I missed the old binary vascular.

[traveling-rose.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[not-from-mars.livejournal.com]

... You all right?

[traveling-rose.livejournal.com]

[long pause]

Fine. Just fine. I'm fine.

Everything's all right.

[not-from-mars.livejournal.com]

[a pause, too]

Of course.

[traveling-rose.livejournal.com]

[sigh]

... sorry.

[not-from-mars.livejournal.com]

No, s'alright. Don't be.

[traveling-rose.livejournal.com]

I mean - it's just that well things - and then with - and now it's all back to - and that's just -

[ARGH! and some pen scribbles, then a sigh and something sounding suspiciously like *headjournal*]

[not-from-mars.livejournal.com]

[pause]

... Is this about what I think it's about?

[traveling-rose.livejournal.com]

... probably.

So. What's the matter, in case I'm completely wrong? Which isn't likely, but.

[deep breath]

What's the matter is ... well, you felt more as a human. And acted on it, with a bit of nudging along but you did.

I knew I was going to lose that. I mean, the castle turned you into a human so obviously it wasn't permanent. Thought I'd be ready for it but ... I'm not. It's hard. I can't just forget and move on like absolutely nothing happened in that time. Things did happen and it was brilliant and I loved it. I felt so happy and ... beautiful and, and ... wanted. Even a bit sexy. [small 'heh']

But you don't, I mean, as a Time Lord you ... and well you've never [sigh, ARGH] We've snogged, yeah? Really snogged and there's just ... nothing from you, doesn't seem like it even affects you most of the time. But as a human - there was more ... and all those other feelings too.

And I know none of that'll happen again. You just wouldn't ... [sigh and that *headjournal* sound again]

[silence on his end because he doesn't know what to say, then the following is dictated quietly]


It takes me having sex with you to feel those things, does it? Happy, beautiful?

Here, clear this shit up for me.

Define what normal means in this fucking place.

[not-from-mars.livejournal.com]

Well, I meant normal for me. There is no concept of normal in Paradisa, really. At least, not normal like it's usually defined. Yes, our normal is rather ... unusual.

[eatinurdudez.livejournal.com]

So...the norm is abnormal. Fuck if that doesn't make about as much sense as ghost servants and magical journals. Ain't that just the shit?

[not-from-mars.livejournal.com]

You get used to it. ... Sort of. If you're fairly new, you've no idea just how abnormal it can get.

[eatinurdudez.livejournal.com]

Hey, good shit! A lil crazy never hurt anyone. And here I was, afraid this place was shitsville.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

[written, carefully] That's wonderful. Humans are brilliant, of course, but...well.

Welcome back, I suppose?

[not-from-mars.livejournal.com]

Good to be back. Just in time, too; I think I was beginning to get used to things. Just a bit scary.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Good to have you back, my dear Doctor.
