[Audio; her voice is a cooing singsong.]

Vissitorssss. Not a flood. You are incorrect. I SEE YOU.

Two posssibilites; they must not meet. They must run parallel. If the linesss crosss one will devour the other.

[An unseen visual aid is here, but you can hear something that sounds a hell of a lot like a massive pair of jaws snapping inches from

Or one has already devoured the other.

[Sound of fingers drumming on a book. Maybe the same book from earlier. Maybe not. He's just thinking now.]

They just need time to pass through, and things will be as they're supposed to be. There's no escaping it.

[strangehstorian]

And if they are not?

[championoftime]

Is there a difference in the taste?

[Because obviously, eating someone from a different universe is the best option, when time just won't spit them back out.]

[strangehstorian]

[Giggling.]

[needshumility]

This again...

[strangehstorian]

Nothing again.

[needshumility]

...You never make any sense.

I knew I should have just written you off as Apocrypha.

[strangehstorian]

Sssomething new.

How could you know, though? You sssee the pressent with only your eyess, the passt with only your memoriess, and the future not at all.

[thefuckening]

You know, your voice would be positively lovely if you didn't emphasise your sybilants [Lol can't double check the spelling rn] so much.

And if we have visitors, we should do something to honour them and welcome them to the Barge! I might have a good set of tableware in my cabin for such an occasion!

hurdur she sounds like rex :[ blame knaak for that

[strangehstorian]

You won't ssee them. You see nothing, not even your own path.

[sirius_is_a_dog]

You should eat a little shit by the name of Mozenrath, if you happen upon him.

[strangehstorian]

Time will heal itsself of the infection.

[timesbureaucrat]

My Lord. [All the deference. He thinks Chronarch might be one of the Gallifreyan Old Gods. And not so secretly hopes that if he ingratiates himself well enough Chronarch might grant him the blessing of time.]

Are you saying that those people we thought were flood affected are different people entirely, crossing from one universe to another? [This changes things. Because if they can cross universes from there to here, perhaps he can cross from here to there, and take the secrets that the Time Lords from the other universe are hiding. (And he's completely ignoring the warning that the lines must not cross and meeting his other self on the other Barge would be BAD.)]

[strangehstorian]

The affected are unaffected to themssselves. We sseem the anomaliess.

All will be returned to how it is and wass ssoon enough. If you intend to issolate the infection it musst be done quickly and carefully.
