[If you've seen the Doctor lately, you might notice that he's acting a bit strange. He's abandoned his electronic workings and is instead outside mowing his lawn, no longer wearing tweed and a bowtie, wearing jeans instead. So basically acting normal, but for him that's strange. It's obvious to anyone knows him is that he's droned

Well, seeing as I was doing something important, very important, [ like chainsmoking, and trying to build a gun silencer out of things around the house, gosh, ] and you've fate of the universe stories to be getting back to -- Hello. What? You called me.

;filtered

[coolbowtie]

Yes, I called you and whatever you're doing, stop it right now because this is more important.

[ Okay, already irritated 8| There's the sound of the phone jostling as he balances it and starts to strike a match for his cigarette. ]

And, clearly, being on the phone, I'd say it's safe to assume that I've stopped. Is this ACTUALLY important or did you just want to pull me away for the nonsensical?

;filtered

[coolbowtie]

Everything I have to say is important. Look, you're the second most clever person in this town from what I can tell, so that means working together will create a lot more progress than working alone.

...Did you hear the Milkman's message after New Years and the ballot?

[ Oh, he's back to drawing with lipstick on tables and that sort of stuff.

Yeah, no, what does Vietnam see in you... oh well he saved Christmas again so he's still awesome. Steps in front of him. ]

I'm sure it tastes like dirt!

... does dirt taste different in Gallifrey?

action

[coolbowtie]

Well, it's made of dirt, so of course it tastes like dirt! I'm checking the aging of the molecules in the said dirt.

[He pauses for a moment]

I suppose it did, yeah. Different genetic make up of the rocks and plants there.

[ ... how do you check for - wait ]

T-they're not carbon-based? [ NO WHY WOULD SHE BE EXCITED IT'S NOT LIKE SHE'S A TOTAL GEEK OR ANYTHING ]

action

[coolbowtie]

Well, there's some carbon, but it's a mixture of new elements and the ones you're familiar with on Earth.

[He doesn't sound all that excited though]

[badend_replay]

By "saved the universe"... Do you mean you saved many worlds, sir?

[coolbowtie]

Basically, yes. I saved every universe and parallel dimensions. Pretty good, isn't it?

[ohmytenth]

Yeah, that's happened to me before too. I left Mayfield after around half a year and they acted like I had only been gone for a few minutes.

I'm not thanking you for anything either. You saved the universe?

[coolbowtie]

It's interesting, very interesting.

Yes, I did. So once you get home and your world is still there, that's all thanks to me.

[not_oflegend]

...that's a lot of things to do over nine months.

[coolbowtie]

Well, when you have a time machine you can fit a lot into a short period of time! Also, that's just usually how my years are.

[not_oflegend]

You have a time machine?

[coolbowtie]

Have one, back home. She's not here.
