Σ001; is there a doctor in the house?

[And lo, from the grounds outside the castle comes the distinct sounds of the TARDIS’s VWORP VWORP, and a Doctor puttering around the console. A little muffled by the partially-opened door:] Well, at the very least that wasn’t a permanent dematerialization.

[And the sounds grow fainter as the Doctor exits the TARDIS to have a look around where she’s landed.] -Well. It's hardly the Grand Hotel, but then, what is these days? Depending on the days, of course. You can't be expected to judge early 19th by, oh, 45th century standards. Though it's hardly as if...

Oh dear.

[She raises a hand to her forehead.] I'm talking to myself again. I've got to stop that, next thing you know I'll be getting a cat and then there'll be nothing for it. [Siiiiiigh- oh wait, hold on. She picks up the journal.]

What's this?

Second.

... I was definitely male during my third incarnation.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely not.

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

Which leaves us with the puzzling question of how this happened.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm certainly aware of how I came about. What do you think happened in your second regeneration?

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

The Time Lords forced me to regenerate, wiped my memories and exiled me to Earth.

[ He's still just a little bitter about that. ]

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

- I see.

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing that's not what happened with you, then?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

No. It's not.

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

How is that possible?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

I haven't the - well, of course there are alternative... timelines, universes, but we're exempt.







Aren't we?

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

I thought we were.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Clearly, there's been some sort of... this could change everything.

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

It really could. This... this could be fantastic.

[ And his mind is going 'EVERYONE MIGHT NOT BE DEAD.' ]

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

The Time Lords always have been a load of pompous old gits, they might not have even considered the possibility that there was another load of pompous old gits out there.

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

Oh, this could be brilliant, though! They might really be out there somewhere!

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

They aren't?

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

... what? I didn't say anything.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Yes.

You did.

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

No. I didn't.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Doctor.

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

Doctor?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

What is it you're trying to not tell me?

[thosethatrun.livejournal.com]

Spoilers.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Doctor.
