the Doctor | 008 | Day 118 | Video

[Hello Kore, there's a Doctor on screen for you! He's grinning from ear to ear, kicked back in a chair, feet raised up, clearly in the diner.]

I heard there's some new arrivals! Hello, there. I do love new guests to this humble island that we're ever so blessed to inhabit.

Oh-- Is that a religious enough reference?

[The chair snaps down and he's sitting up in his chair, leaning forward with his hands clasped before him.]

What's all the fuss about this 'king of hell' bloke I've heard about? I do love a good story! I met the devil once, have I mentioned that? Stuck on an asteroid? Strange one, that one.

C'mon now! Story time!

One is an archangel who had...a falling out with the rest of the family. My elder brother, Lucifer. [Balthazar speaks slowly, considering every word before it comes out of his mouth, because this is unlocked and he has to assume both Michael and Lucifer (and likely Raphael, as well) will be listening.]

The other is a demon, which presumably means he was human once and made some questionable choices. I know very little else about him, but he's been here before. Lived with Donna briefly, even. I can't imagine he's a nice fellow; one doesn't get to be king of hell by shaking hands and kissing babies. But I have no gossip to share on him. [If he did, he'd be happy to do so, really.]

There may very well have been multiple rulers of Hell--there's a hierarchy there, and as I understand it, it's a bit complex--but there's only been one being in my world who has been referred to as 'the Devil'. I don't particularly care to offend him. I don't wonder that you're curious, but tread lightly.

[Balthazar knows enough about the Doctor to make a guess that the nonchalance is partly an act. That doesn't mean he appreciates it. He leans back slightly, eyebrows creasing, and echoes the Doctor in an audibly snide tone:]

Mmm, yup. Indeed.

I'm not a psychic, sorry. Are you being deliberately arrogant and insensitive, or is it just an instinctive reaction with you? Truly, I'd like to understand.

[Mollified, he gives a faint nod.] Fear and respect are different things, if related. You'll find that many of my brothers expect one or the other. All I ask is that you keep in mind we're discussing my family.

[And all of them mean something to him. Even the black sheep, as it were. And the overly-white sheep, for that matter.]

In any case, I'm not sure I can predict what archangels will do, although I admit I'm nervous. But Crowley and Lucifer are not friends, from what I understand. I doubt you'll see team-ups from them.

If Michael and Lucifer get involved in funny business, I'm not sure there's anything any of us can do about it, but I'll keep you in mind.

When it comes to my family, no. We really can't. [Have a rueful, tired half-smile.] Just keep an eye out for Donna and Doctor Barrett and every other not-angel you can, I suppose.
