008 - This dirty town is burning down in my dreams. [Video]

[The Doctor looks exceptionally cheery, and is acting rather playful. He seems to be oblivious to all the unrest and crazy that is going on. If one listens carefully, one may be able to hear 30's Earth-era jazz music playing quietly in the background.I'm curious ( Read more... )

Man, some of us liked the ways we went out. Kinda a shame to have that wiped clean, if you ask me.

ears_fantastic March 16 2011, 03:45:36 UTC

I understand that. [Slight nod. Then he quirks his eyebrow.] So for you it's more about the meaning of the death you suffered rather than the burden of being an inmate here, yeah?

failed_bluff March 16 2011, 04:16:57 UTC

Ain't what I'd call a burden. I've been in and out of the slammer since I was ten. [The tone of his voice shows he kind of...really takes pride in that.] This ain't much different. But I worked damn hard to die the way I did.

No, I'm not just doing it for the Admiral. Can't speak for everyone else, obviously, but I'd be surprised if most people only stuck around because of their deals.

ears_fantastic March 16 2011, 03:59:50 UTC

Ah. Thanks.

Though, not everyone believes they're capable of holding out for a greater purpose than the one they've already been promised.

batmanschmatman March 16 2011, 04:07:22 UTC

I kind of figure just by sticking around for longer then a couple weeks proves they are. Sure, the deals we've made are important to us, but it takes a strong person to remember why they're important and stick by them no matter what stuff gets thrown at us.

I'm quite sure that even you could guess why I'm here. [Although since his arrival he's found extra reasons to stay, but he's not going to get into his personal life with Nine.]

ears_fantastic March 16 2011, 04:31:54 UTC

Even I could guess. [He looks highly amused.] I could also guess another reason, but I won't.

timesbureaucrat March 16 2011, 04:43:33 UTC

[It's habit to take casual pot shots at the Doctor's intelligence and competence, even if Narvin doesn't really believe it.]

Isn't the one reason enough?

ears_fantastic March 16 2011, 08:05:20 UTC

[Nine gets a little more serious here... But not very.] It is.

Still I wonder if you'll go right away if you graduate an inmate..

Dead. Any day.

But you knew that, [War] Doctor.

Private ears_fantastic March 16 2011, 04:33:55 UTC

Yes, I did.

Has this place actually done nothing for you?

Private darknessb4me March 16 2011, 04:34:48 UTC

It's done too much.

Private ears_fantastic March 16 2011, 08:13:06 UTC

Right. [His manic happy act fades into a more serious, careful one.]

Have you changed much now that the sword's gone?

I am here to save something very important to me. [The world :c]

Any task I need to dedicate myself to in order to get that will be undertaken. With enthusiasm!

ears_fantastic March 16 2011, 04:37:39 UTC

So am I, in a way.

I have no doubts. [Grin!]
