[ There is a high-pitched whistling audible on the Guide today -- nothing too loud, but it might certainly be unexpected. After a few seconds of this, the video flickers on, and a grinning Time Lord is visible on your screen. ]Friends, Vogons, citizens of the good ship Thor, lend me your ears ( Read more... )

[Video]I HOPE THIS IS OKAY IF NOT TELL ME TO GOWAI note_atem May 30 2011, 23:22:05 UTC

[He mostly seems introspective at this, and the question he asks is quiet all the same.]

Another Doctor?

note_atem May 31 2011, 02:17:51 UTC

It's not hard to. [Time is speshul for him since he spent about three thousand years locked up and all that. He keeps a watch on it now.]

doctorate May 31 2011, 02:34:29 UTC

Usually people keep such careful track if they're not enjoying themselves, yeah? Don't suppose that's the case?

note_atem May 31 2011, 02:35:59 UTC

[The Doctor gets a sort of critical glance.]

I've been told my world has been destroyed and my friends are nowhere to be found. There's not much to enjoy.

doctorate May 31 2011, 02:51:22 UTC

[ The Doctor sobers immediately ] I think there's something behind that, honestly. I took a look at the records -- they stated that Earth was destroyed to make way for a shopping mall. But I've seen Earth's destruction, and that most definitely was not it.

note_atem May 31 2011, 02:53:50 UTC

Most of the people around here come from 'Earth'. [The way he says it is detached from the rest of the sentence.] Some form of it; different ones.

But even then when asked to provide proof of any single person's planet being destroyed the captains have just asked for blind trust. [His tone implies so much that he doesn't believe them, and for good reason so he thinks.]

doctorate May 31 2011, 03:45:03 UTC

Ah, well, even making allowance for multiple universes, it's quite a ridiculous way to go, getting accidentally destroyed in the name of shopping. I just find it highly unlikely.

[ The Doctor states the obvious-- ] You obviously don't trust them, then.

note_atem May 31 2011, 03:46:41 UTC

The burden of proof is on them and they show nothing. [His voice is slightly hardened but grows a bit softer as he continues on.] Aside that, they wouldn't even say how my world was destroyed. [And he just can't believe that it's all gone.]

doctorate May 31 2011, 04:05:23 UTC

[ he takes a second to digest this information ]

This place is massive, though. Even though not everyone here is a refugee, I just find it entirely unlikely for so many worlds to be gone, accidental or otherwise. It seems a bit sinister, to me.

note_atem May 31 2011, 04:07:34 UTC

You're not alone in that. [And he's glad about it, somewhat. People who don't just feed into what the captains are selling are good, in his opinion.]

What does that leave us with, though? Mass kidnapping? For what reason? [Now hoping to bounce ideas off this Doctor.]

doctorate May 31 2011, 04:31:17 UTC

Mass-kidnapping -- maybe for cheap labor? No, that's daft, they pay wages, even if they are modest amounts to start. Plans to repopulate a planet?

[ he's looking thoughtful, but he rubs his cheek and lets out a breath ] I don't know, honestly. I haven't had a chance to do much snooping just yet.

note_atem May 31 2011, 04:35:04 UTC

[An eyebrow arches at the mention of repopulating. He does nod with a soft sound of acknowledgment the second time, however. And suddenly feels like he's being a bother.]

There are some who have been here longer than I who haven't figured it out yet. [Obviously because if they had this wouldn't be. Also giving away still that he knows basically not much more than when he started. Which should be encouraging!] Eventually we will. [Because there is no giving up on this. Hope is a good thing right. Also togetherness.]

doctorate May 31 2011, 04:49:39 UTC

[ The Doctor nods in return ] Sorry, I honestly wish I could be more help. I'd need to delve in a bit more before, I think. Right now all I've got is speculation.

If you've got any idea on where to start poking around, I'm all ears, though.

note_atem May 31 2011, 04:51:45 UTC

Maybe getting face to face with the captains; I'm not sure if anyone has managed that yet. Though some have started speculating they're useless in the grand scheme of things. [Getting their orders from someone else who knows what's going on. Oh...

A brief pause before he says-] They're mice.

doctorate May 31 2011, 04:55:27 UTC

[ there's a lengthy pause, as the Doctor stares at the screen ]

I'm sorry, I could've sworn I just heard you say the captains were mice.

note_atem May 31 2011, 04:56:52 UTC

[Atem stares back.]

That is what I said.
