And, yeah, thanks everyone for your quick and prompt responses, I've taken a note of who wants to stay and who wants to go, and anyone who hasn't said anything is just going to have to deal. Anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, kindly take a look back and do

[nurse_boy]

... Is it really so bad to want to stay here?

[aw.]

[who_never_would]

Some people really want to leave, Rory.

... I'm not one of them.

[nurse_boy]

[bzuh]

Wait, so ... you don't want to leave?

[still filtered forever like burning.]

[who_never_would]

No.

I don't.

[siebter]

Um, I don't know what you're talking about...but I can't read it.

[who_never_would]

Oh, are you mentally disabled?

[siebter]

No...I can't see anything. I have to wear a blindfold at all times.

Was it something important?

[who_never_would]

... [Oh. Now he feels like an ass.]

Yeah, a bit. I took a little survey to see how many people wanted to go back - and if anyone knew me at all the last time I was here, which apparently quite a few people did.

So, in a nutshell, do you know who I am? If you do, good, if you don't, fine by me. I'm the Doctor. There are two other people here who have that name as well, but one is older, and one is younger. ... It's sort of complicated.

Secondly, are you happy in Paradisa, or do you want to return to... wherever it took you from?

[sparkplasma]

[who_never_would]

... Sorry, what?

[sparkplasma]

[who_never_would]

Ah...

[Cats. Great.]

Hello, kitty? I'm not sure which kitty you are, and I do apologize for that but it's terribly hard to... really make anything out when all you can say is meow?

Meow? Meow meow mrrreow? [The TARDIS might have some similar translations to the Cath tongue? Maybe domesticated cats speak a dumbed down variant?]

[who_never_would]

Sorry, who's this?

[Puzzled Doctor is puzzled.]

[who_never_would]

Louise Gardenier, eh? I'm the Doctor, pleasure to meet you and all.

It's alright, I've been head-deep in equations, math, numbers, trying to figure this blasted place out.

[cricketycricket]

Hm? Sorry, sorry, I missed something, didn't I ... I was out at the Dead Zone, and --

[there's a SQUAWK and some ripping sounds coming over the journal]

Tardy, no, that is NOT for avian consumption, drop it. Drop it RIGHT now.

[ahem] So how was the ratio of staying to going? I must admit, I'm curious.

[FILTERED... to himself? Eleven, too.]

[who_never_would]

'Allo, Five. Can I call you Five? Or do you prefer Doctor? I mean, I'd prefer Doctor.

... why is there a bird in your... general vicinity?

Interestingly enough, it's about half and half.

I'd like to stay here as well, for what it's worth.

[Time Lord Filter? XD]

[cricketycricket]

Most everyone 'round here calls me either one or the other, pick whichever you like... Doctor. [he can HEAR the grin, definitely. and the little irritated 'rawk' and the ripping of paper as he pries a notebook away...]

Oh! That's Tardy. We - that is, I - that is, our other self and I - caught him a few months ago out on the grounds. he's really sort of marvellous. Say hello, Tardy --

RAWK. I'mtheDoctorbytheway.

No you're not. Stop that! ... Anyway. Half and half, mm? Somehow, that doesn't surprise me. Given that I seem to change my mind about every month or so, myself. ... Peri was here, for a while, when I first arrived, and, well. ... I know what I've got to look forward to.

[hulloeverything]

Mrow ow meeeowww mrrr owowrrrooowww mrrrrrow!
