theatrical_muse #174: Would you ever kill a Time Lord?

[ninth_doctor]

Yes.

How do I know? Because I've done it.

Wanna know how many? You don't. Even I don't know. Millions. Billions. What's the difference? They're all gone, now. Well, most of them. Might as well be all. They don't call me the Oncoming Storm, the Destroyer of Worlds for nothing, you know. Because it's all true. The Ka Faraq Gatri.

*softly* ...Doctor?

[ninth_doctor]

Hullo, Nyssa.

[of_traken]

At the core, I have always known the same man. I've always known the Doctor. Whether he be the man in the daft red scarf or the man in the cricketing sweater...You or the man in the suit.

Doctor, I know you. And I know people change, but I believe that no matter what choices you make...There are reasons. And I believe every one of them was justified. And I know it hurts...

*quiet* I'm alone too, Doctor.

[ninth_doctor]

Yeah, they're justified. Or supposedly they are. I just like to think there had to've been another way. What justifies genocide? D'you know? 'Cause I'd like to know, certainly.

*sighs* Sorry. I'm just--sorry. I usually don't like talking about it much.

I can't see how anyone stands it, but here we are nevertheless. I'm not upsetting you, am I? I'd hate to think I was.

Oh get off it, will you? Of course the universe needs the Doctor. No one else can ever do the sorts of things you do, and without you, we'd all be lost.

I'll never look on you any differently for what you did and you know that. There are some things you can't change, eh? You've shown me that. And from what you've told me, there is no other way.

But no matter what, I'd like to think in some way, I'll always be there to support you, even if it's just a daft reply to something like this.

[ooc: awww Nine.]

[ninth_doctor]

Sarah Jane, you make my day, you know that? It's not daft. It's fantastic to hear from you. Even when I'm in a bit of a mood.

(( :| The bloke worries me sometimes. I had to make him stop writing at one point and have him do some crack because I was Not Liking what he was writing. << *pets her broody pup* ))

[his_sarah_jane]

Oh, especially if you're in a bit of a mood, if you're anything like the regeneration I'm still travelling around with. Who else would poke some sense into you, after all?

[ooc: Yeaaaah. But it was really well written. *pets him too*]

[ninth_doctor]

Rose, Jack, Romana, Peter, my future self, Nyssa, my past self--oh, sorry, was that rhetorical? Guess I just need a swift kick in the seat of my trousers now and then. Metaphorically. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in doing it literally, and we don't really want that, or I'd be sore for days, and if you think I get pretty grumpy now, wait 'til then.

I used to run a lot.
