[ Dictated;

The sounds of more books being flipped through, some being moved around and a pen scribbling in another book. ... basically, the same old. After a short pause, she suddenly switches to the journal-- ]

Self? I am sure it has been a stress long enough for you to have been looking after my kittens and K9. I can bring them back to my room again.

And, Jenny, have any of your fathers taken the time to teach you of other worlds from our universes? Or anything of Gallifrey for that matter? If not I would think that would be a good place to start in teaching you what it is to be a proper Time Lady.

[ added a few minutes later ] Should anyone be interested in other worlds, learning of some, I would not object in teaching a bit.

No, actually.

Is Gallifrey lovely?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

It was... beautiful.

You could stand anywhere, be it the streets or on a balcony, and gaze up at the sky. The orange sky would shine with the suns just beyond the dome of the Citadel. And when the suns set... [ smiling ] Oh, when those suns set the snow cap mountains would glisten in the fading light.

[beams]

It sounds beautiful! I think I would've liked to go there someday.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

I think you would have liked it.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

How did it get destroyed, Romana?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

It had been because of the war.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

And that's why there are no Timelords left in my time?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is the reason why.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

[quiet for a few moments]


How'd it start?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[there's a pause for a moment]

It started when the Daleks had begun to attack other races on a grand scale in the universe. It was then that I declared war on them and the struggle began.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

I don't know what Daleks are.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

You are fortunate then. [gone!]

The Daleks were creatures from a planet known as Skaro. Created by a megalomaniac by the name of Davros, their single purpose in existence was complete universal conquest. Any race they deemed inferior to them was to be eradicated with no mercy.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

They're soldiers then.



[quietly] Like I was. [gone]

Didn't anyone ever tell them that there are alternatives to killing?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

They were slaughterers, Jenny. Not soldiers.

[a short bark of a laugh] I'm afraid anyone who thought to do such a thing was exterminated on the spot. They do not listen. They do not show compassion. They lacked any sort of emotional circuitry entirely. Just having spent twenty years alone as their prisoner, long before the war, I saw what they were capable of.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

Why would anyone create such a thing?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I never did learn to understand the mind of a megalomaniac.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

A megla what?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

Someone with psychopathic delusions of grandeur and an obsession for power.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

Right.



Did the Daleks survive?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

From what I have come to understand, they had.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

That's not fair, though.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[sad smile] Nothing is ever really fair in the universe, Jenny.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to learn that.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

You mustn't allow that to weigh you down though.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

I don't!

Really!

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

That is good.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

Yeah.


So what was Dad like on Gallifrey?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

He had quite the reputation. The file on him created by the CIA was rather extensive.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

The CIA?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

Celestial Intervention Agency.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

[giggles]

It sounds like a mouthful!

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[grinning] A bit, yes.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

What does the file say?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

Oh... it says a lot of things.

But if you really want to know you should ask your father. It really isn't my place to say.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[kinda wants to know now]

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

Quite sure.

[patience is a virtue :)]

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

[patience is so lacking in Jenny's family]

Please, Romana?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[well, that much is obvious]

You will have to ask him.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

[grumble]

Then I will!

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[trying not to laugh - like father, like daughter!]

All right then.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

[so, so, so true]

Right! I'll talk to you later about all that other stuff, right? I wanna ask Dad about his CIA file.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

Of course. You just let me know.

[is inner-lulzing right now]

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

Will do, Romana!

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[ooc: I can't stop cracking up. xD]
