Video || Day 64

[undomesticated]

Okay, so, that was fun.

[Her tone clearly implies that it was anything but.]

I just wanted to say thank you to the people that helped me when I was, uh, a little mangled. I know there was a lot of weirdness going on and I just wanted to say thanks for helping me out when you guys were all messed up. Too. When you were messed up too. Because I was, obviously.

[Nice save, Riley. Her smile had almost fallen off at that, but she pasted it back on brightly, smiling into the communicator.]

I hope the rest of you are doing better now that everything's back to normal. Or, you know, as normal as it gets around here. I'm here if anyone needs me.

[Not that she thought that would happen, but hey, it was always better to offer.]

Comments

[nevermindtherunning]

Nope! Not on my limited lists of talents. Maybe I'll work on it next.

[He's being cheeky, of course. Right now, he was perfectly content having two hearts, and being overwhelmed again with time lines and voices.]

[undomesticated]

And now I'm wounded. Ow, Doctor. Ow.

[She's clutching her chest, giving him a look of feigned pain and anguish.]

You'd leave me here all alone? Cruel.

[nevermindtherunning]

Ahhh, I don't intend to. If I find a way out, again, or however I escaped the first time, I'll take you and everyone else with me. Promise.

[undomesticated]

I'll hold you to that. My mom will be forced to make you a cake of gratitude.

[nevermindtherunning]

OHHH? I am a fan of cake.

Met Donna Noble yet? She's brilliant at baking. Her cakes and cookies? [He kisses his fingers] utterly brilliant!

[undomesticated]

My mom likes to bake when we have a kitchen, so baking you a 'thank you for getting my daughter out of an evil hell hole' cake would be right up her ally.

I... don't think so?

[nevermindtherunning]

Ah! House 2, Donna Noble - my best mate! Ginger, excellent cook, a bit pushy, but just really a lovely woman. We've been through alot together; wouldn't trade her for anything.

[undomesticated]

Then I guess it's good you got a friend to have around here. Does it make it easier?

[nevermindtherunning]

Oh yes. Definitely! Though, it's never been hard for me to make friends.

[But the truth be told, he was nervous, especially now that she had the Time Lord knowledge. He hadn't spoken to her yet, but he wondered if she remembered everything given she's back to normal.]

[undomesticated]

Me neither. I actually like making new friends. Even Doctor ones.

[She was smiling when she said it.]

[nevermindtherunning]

Good to know! Though, I'm afraid I'll be the only Time Lord you'll get to meet. Cherish it.

[A playful wink and smirk.]

[undomesticated]

Time Lord?

[You're using words that are confusing her, Doctor.]

[nevermindtherunning]

[A nod.]

Yup, 2 hearts, double pulse, lower body core, I'm ohhhh 900 years old give or take. Time travel and all that.

[undomesticated]

Really?

[She hadn't been paying attention to his bodily sounds the last time she'd met him, but she knew the next time she saw him, she'd be straining to hear what two hearts sounded like.]

You look better than I thought nine hundred years could look.

[nevermindtherunning]

Aw, now you're flattering me.

[He rubs his earlobe, looking a bit sheepish for only a moment.]

[undomesticated]

Not intentionally. If I were to think of someone who was nine hundred years old, I'd think of like, some really old looking guy with a beard that he walked on or something.

[nevermindtherunning]

Time Lords age differently. Though, I did look older during my first regeneration. It's just the luck of the draw of what you'll look like.

[A shrug.]

[undomesticated]

Your... regeneration?

[Now you're confusing her, Doctor.]

[nevermindtherunning]

I've died before. Well, not technically died, but yes, died. Either as unfortunate circumstances, radiation...

[He licks his lips as he thought of his prophecy being spoken to him, causing him to pause.] Cellular regeneration. It's a bit dodgy, but oft times successful. I didn't always look like this.

[undomesticated]

Did Ned bring you back?

[Because she'd talked to him about that and she wasn't certain she liked the consequences of that ability of his.]

[nevermindtherunning]

[A shake of his head.] He's human with an anomaly. I'm not human, it's in my own DNA unique to a Time Lord.

[undomesticated]

Okay, so... you're not human and you regenerate and you're almost a thousand years old. That's a pretty impressive list.

[nevermindtherunning]

[A smug shrug.] A stuff of legend.

[undomesticated]

Is that a little cockiness I see, Doctor?

[nevermindtherunning]

I simply don't know what you're referring to!

[Him? Cocky? NEVER! How could you suggest such a thing?]
