maskormenace | video; chalk off spot 3 on Doctor Bingo

[ The comm is obviously the Doctor's. And the background is obviously the Doctor's room in Heropa 11 (if you know what the Doctor's room looks like, that is). But there's some sort of hodge-podge device made up entirely of junk and taking up the majority of the bed. There's a fez sitting on a bedpost because the Doctor has money and Heropa has stores so the Doctor can buy hats. And the person who's grinning at the camera like a maniac is definitely not the Doctor. If it wasn't the lack of eyebrows, it's the bowtie and the fact that this Doctor looks like he'd be grumpy granddad Doctor's kid.

There's also a possum that's hanging out on his shoulders. Yeah, space granddad's affected like HELL due to the current plot. ]

Hellooooooo Heropa! Doctor here, or at least a Doctor, or at least a Doctor that you might not know, though that's the thing, isn't it! I don't know if you know me or not, isn't this fun? [ This Doctor does not shut up. ] But I do know that thanks to a few conversations with a few friends and a little bit of poking around here and there that some things aren't just adding up.

Now, someone mentioned magic. I don't know anything about magic, magic's not my wheelhouse, bother someone else if you want magic, but what I do know about are timelines. People who know people who've got weird memory issues, speak up! Who's affected, who's missing bits and pieces, who's backstories weirdly don't line up with your backstories, this might be a timey wimey problem and I'm the king of timey wimey.

[ There's a pause, while the possum yawns. ] Oh yes! This is Murray, by the way, he's informed me that he's quite happy with his living circumstances though he'd enjoy it if he had a few eggs. I think I'm taking Murray with me if the TARDIS ever were to show up here—he'll be new Handles.

[ another pause before ] Oh and also, I do hope that I wasn't the one who came up with the sonic sunglasses. There's nothing wrong with the screwdriver, screwdrivers are classic, screwdrivers are cool. Tell the other-Doctor if he shows up again that I'm rather put out by the changes! Right, Doctor out!

He does have pretty hair. Maybe I should have asked him for some pointers.

He was! I hope I get to meet him again. But... you don't even remember that I did the burger thing with him, too? That's weird.

[And more than a little disconcerting.]

I've met three of your regenerations in here, if that helps.

I don't—which is the weird thing. Normally I don't remember it when I meet myself because Time Lord nonsense and timeline whatever, but I should be able to remember popping over to visit another dimension, especially one as cool as this.

Then... you don't remember all the shit that's gone down here, do you?

Edited 2016-06-15 20:24 (UTC)

Another weird thing, I don't—I've heard about some of the strange things, though, Clara filled me in on a bit.

Did she tell you about the whole kidnapping thing?

[She's a little hesitant, because while she's never personally seen the Doctor angry, she still knows how dangerous he can be. But she also feels like he deserves to know the truth.]

[ No she didn't, as shown by the Doctor's small little frown. ]

What kidnapping thing?

[Oh, no, she said a thing. Too bad Max isn't nearly as good at deflecting (or lying) as Clara is.]

Uh... Clara and I and a bunch of other people were kidnapped by the Soviets?

[At least she didn't bring up the Seminar. Max was still suffering the after-effects of that one.]

Edited 2016-06-15 22:59 (UTC)

[ Well. That's not good. He doesn't know much about Max but other Doctor likes her ergo this Doctor likes her ergo it is a damn good thing that the Soviets aren't here with this conversation. ]

Well. I suppose it's lucky for the Soviets that they're all off in Russia now, isn't it? I'd hate to be the Russians who deal with me when I'm rather cross.

[ and buddy is he rather cross right now, you don't mess with his people Russkies, okay? ]

[Space ~~Gran~~dad, no.]

Well... they pulled some other shit off, too. Like the time they tortured and tried to brainwash a bunch of us. If it hadn't been broken up, they would have succeeded.

[And yes, that includes Max, but she's not about to volunteer that info, considering that the Doctor's getting pretty scary right now.]

Edited 2016-06-16 00:39 (UTC)

[ Yep, the Doctor still remains NOT VERY HAPPY about that. ]

I see. I'm sure they gave you some perfectly nonsense reason as to why they did that, out of curiosity do you remember it?

Honestly, I try not to. In both cases, it seemed like it was because they felt we should "belong" to them, or some bullshit like that. Like we weren't people, just weapons.

[ Yeeeeeep lots of scowling at this. ]

I wish I could say that was surprising. [ but it ain't ]

Honestly, though? Both sides are starting to make me feel sick.

That's war for you. Both sides make terrible decisions all in the name of winning.

So, basically, war is bullshit.

Aaaand points for Max!

[ it's quite bullshit ]

Sweet! How many have I got now?

Either fifty or five hundred, I'm not entirely sure which.

There's kind of a big difference there, Doctor.

Not really! There's only one zero of a difference.

To you, that might seem like a small difference.

[Giggle.]

Edited 2016-06-17 22:55 (UTC)

To most people that seems like a small difference! One zero's small, three zeroes are big.

Is it bad that what you're saying almost made sense to me?

I always make sense, Max. It's other things that are confusing.

Like the bow tie?

[She teases, Doctor.]
