[ The first thing you see....is pumpkins. So many pumpkins. This house is full of pumpkins in various stages of being carved. Those who know Hazel can easily recognize this scene of mass chaos as Residence #11. However, the chalk scribbles on the wall are decidedly not hers. To start with, some of them are in a different language that looks kind of circly.

The personless scene lasts only for a moment before the Doctor scurries into frame, looking a mixture of confused and frowny. He's looking kind of magician, wearing a black coat over a black hoodie. Finally, he's holding an owl by the scruff of it's neck (can you do that with an owl? Who knows, the Doctor's doing so). Said owl is Owlfonso, the skateboarding owl that really doesn't want to be here right now and is desperately trying to peck the Doctor's fingers. ]

I want to clarify first that for once, none of this is my fault. [ except the chalk writing, which is obviously his, but that either a: goes without commenting on or b: the Doctor's forgotten it by now. also wow, that sure is a Scottish accent ] That being said- [ WHAM the camera gets a face full of owl ]

Is this normal? I mean, normal for owls. Is this how I can tell this dimension apart from my dimension? No eyepatches, no goatees, just owls that can suddenly skateboard? [ He backs poor Owlfonso away from the camera, as the Doctor's still got an expression that's pure 'what the hell is this shit' ] Well, skateboarding owls and a postponed perestroika. Spoilers, you're twenty years out of date.

[ pause, frown. The Doctor looks over at poor Owlfonso with a sort of resigned expression. ] The alternate dimension of owls and Communism. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

That's an American thing, right? Republicans, that is. Because it's certainly not a Roman thing, not in 2015.

It's an American thing, yeah. I'm a little too young for the Roman Republic.

How was I supposed to know that? [ said with a shrug. ]

Do I seriously look or sound like a Roman to you? Not that I know what a Roman sounds like, but I'm pretty sure it'd involve some level of Latin.

Translation circuits! I'm certain these devices or possibly the nanites have translation circuits embedded in them, so for all I know, you could be speaking Latin.

That's... actually a pretty solid point. But I'm still not a Roman. Way too stylish for that.

You could be a Roman who adapted! Why wear a toga when this world has perfected trousers?

The most stylish Roman of all time. And the most attractive. Yeah, I guess I can see that.

You're attractive?

[ sorry not sorry Jeff, but at least it's said in a tone of honest confusion, not the Doctor trying to be a smartass ]

[So rude! Anyone not thinking he's super hot, hot damn, is clearly rude.]

You're hilarious.

Thank you! [ he is taking that 100% AT FACE VALUE ] I don't know what that's got to do with your supposed attractiveness, though.

Ok. What's the deal? No one can be this annoying without some sort of excuse for it.

Does 'not human' count? I think that's a good excuse. Alternatively, I've got 'cranky.'

Both are valid reasons. You look human enough to me though.

Funny, you look Time Lord enough to me. [ a siiiiigh ] Yeah, I know that I look human, I get that, but what matters is that I'm not.

[Narrows eyes.] But what's a Time Lord?

Yours truly,

But. What does it mean? Is it a rank or a species or what?

A little bit of both. Gallifreyans can become Time Lords, but not all Time Lords are Gallifreyan. In theory, a non-Gallifreyan could become a Time Lord, but I don't know if it's ever happened.

Sounds more like a job to me. What's a Gallifreyan?

Again, yours truly.

You really suck at explaining things.

What part of that was a bad explanation? I think that you really suck at comprehending things.

So Gallifreyan's are just annoying old dudes with no social skills?

Excuse you, some of us are annoying ladies with no social skills.
