[44]: So I hear "patience" is one of those virtue things. ...Good for it.

...What's the longest anyone's ever been on a non-permanent loss? Anybody know?

[pause] And how are the lot of you? Everyone's alright, for the most part, yeah? I hope?

...Handy? You want some banana tea?

This Person

[mutters] Fantastic. [sigh] Thanks for the info, I'm hoping it won't be that long. I'm the Doctor, by the way, nice to meet you.

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

I am Hiro Nakamura. Nice to meet you, too.

[pause] Are you on a loss?

Hiro

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Nah, just one of my selves. It's a bit of a rough one.

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

Other selves?

Hiro

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[chuckles] Yep, I'm a Time Lord. We regenerate, when we die. New face, few new personality quirks, same memories.

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

Oh, you have great power! [this makes much more sense to him, really, though he's still curious. sorry for being incredibly unhelpful, Nine, but he's excited about this, now] Time Lord? Are you a time traveler?

Hiro

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[laughs] I am. Have been for a good 900 years or so. [actually quite a bit more than that, but shh B/]

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

[hurriedly, as he's very excited] I am a time traveler, too! Though I have not been doing it for as long as you have! [pauses, and while he intends it to be brief, it ends up being much longer than that, as something occurs to him. something that makes him sound like a kicked puppy, when he continues] Or I used to be. The Castle has taken my ability to bend time.

Hiro

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[sounds sympathetic] Yeah, our TARDISes can't time travel either. Bit of a nuisance, having to take the slow path.

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

TARDIS? [doesn't understand that word, and he doesn't seem to put two and two together that that's the Doctor's time machine. mostly because he's spoiled and isn't used to having to have something external to move through time]

Hiro

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Our ship. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. TARDIS. It's how we travel. We can see timestreams, but we need the TARDIS to travel them.

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

[surprised] You have a time machine?

Hiro

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Yep! She's fantastic.

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

That is amazing! I have never seen a time machine! I used to time travel on my own--it was a part of my ability. What does your time machine look like? You said it was here?

Hiro

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

[laughs] She looks like a police public call box. At least, on the outside. And yeah, my Eighth and Tenth selves have theirs here too.

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

May I see it? I can teleport to you.

[and hey, he got him to laugh, when he seemed so upset, earlier. is doing good!]

Hiro

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

Ask me again in a week; if my self's loss is over, I'll be happy to give you a tour.

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

[sobers] I will keep this in mind. And I hope you will forgive me being excited about your things when a friend of yours is in trouble. [little bow for the journal, even if Nine can't see it]

Hiro

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

It's alright, someone's always in trouble around here. Never any different from normal, even in my own universe.

Doctor

[watchwanderer.livejournal.com]

Still, I have been more considerate.

[maybe Adam's right. maybe he is cruel]
