[An energetic, youthful voice crackles on the message board, broadcasting to anyone who'll listen. It sounds rather annoyed, though that quickly changes to enthusiastic amusement]Alright, when’s this? This isn’t where I set the coordinates. The air smells… off. It’s an artificial world, isn’t it? Ah-hah, so that’s it. Right, then. I'm the Doctor;

[she doesn't recognize this one, but it sounds like him]

...Doctor?

[Voice]

[shout_geronimo]

Rose! [sounds ecstatic] How are you?

[Voice]

[valiantdefender]

Stuck on a strange world, probably with trouble just around the corner. [can you hear her grin?] You know, the usual.

But look at you. You've regenerated since I last saw you. [playfully] Do you always regenerate into younger-lookin' bodies, or is some sorta Time Lord midlife crisis?

[Voice]

[shout_geronimo]

[yes, he can certainly hear the grinning, and there's laughter in his own voice] Oh, the usual. I love that. Rose Tyler, defender of the universe. Nothing phases you anymore, does it?

Oi! ... Well, usually. It depends. I haven't had a chance to look in the mirror yet; busy morning.

[Voice]

[valiantdefender]

I dunno... there was that one time I walked in on Jake in the shower with--Actually, let's not go there; I really wish I didn't just remember that.

You look... [considers this] good. At least, you don't seem terribly malformed in the picture.

But maybe it's best for you to take a break while you're newly-regenerated. [seriously, she's worrying about you; don't make her break out the Jackie Tyler voice]

[Voice]

[shout_geronimo]

It can't be worse than any of my shower stories. Eugh.

I'm glad to hear it. I'm pretty sure the regeneration went well.

Oh, I am, sitting down in the grass and everything. I haven't even gone inside the city yet. [he knows it. Don't worry, Rose, he's being a good boy, at least until something shiny walks by]

[Voice]

[valiantdefender]

[she laughs] Really? In all the universe and then some, with all the madness you get up to, and it's things happenin' in the shower that icks you out? Seems a bit mundane, don't you think?

Not ginger, though. Which you might've already noticed.

Good. [well, she says that but she knows you--or, at least, previous yous; still, she's worrying a little less now]

[Voice]

[shout_geronimo]

You try going to a Slitheen diplomatic convention. Or better yet, a Judoon sauna. It's not so much the happenings as the way people act, sometimes.

I've noticed. Save the universe countless times, and what do I get? [laughs] Not ginger, that's what. Ah, but maybe someday.

I'm always good.

[Voice]

[valiantdefender]

Slitheen can get diplomatic? [thinking thinking thinking nope] I... really can't imagine that.

Just you wait; you'll end up being ginger and wonder what all the fuss was about.

[is that anything like 'I'm always alright', because she might be forced to smack you for being an idiot, newly-regenerated or not]

I give you five minutes before you wander off after something.

[Voice]

[shout_geronimo]

Exactly.

Never! It'll be great. Gingers don't know how good they've got it.

[nope; it's just Eleven being playful]

I'll have to wait for the TARDIS; it's nowhere near done rebuilding itself.

[Voice]

[valiantdefender]

You're quite mad, you know that?

['rebuilding'? that doesn't sound good] Will the TARDIS be alright? 'Cos the younger you's said his TARDIS is already having problems with the different dimension/universe-thing.

[Voice]

[shout_geronimo]

What are you talking about? Of course I know I'm mad. Madness goes with genius, did you know?

I don't know; she could burn and leave me stranded here, which would be NOT! GOOD! [he shouts the last two words in the TARDIS' direction]

[Voice]

[valiantdefender]

[a snort of laughter] So you keep telling me. Does all the smartness take up the room for sanity, or somethin'?

Do you think yellin' is gonna help? I'm sure she's a bit busy to have you tell her things she already knows.

[Voice]

[shout_geronimo]

Yes, actually. It's very complicated and brilliant, and I think it involves muffins. Oh, there's another craving. I love muffins. Wait, no I don't, muffins are rubbish. Maybe.

That's true. Sorry.

[Voice]

[valiantdefender]

Hm... What about cupcakes then? They're muffin-shaped baked goods.

'S alright; I just think the both of you'd be better off with more resting and less yelling.

[Voice]

[shout_geronimo]

I don't know, I haven't tried cupcakes yet. Muffins, either, but the word's interesting, isn't it?

Ah, but you know what they say - no rest for the wicked!
