[the Doctor is here; he looks completely the same, and utterly different

his eyes are no longer closed, distant things; they are wide and clear as he runs frantic hands through his hair

when he speaks, it is with a strange mix of accents, all shifting into each other]

Surely I didn't regenerate in my sleep…

[he turns this way and that, holding himself as a vibrant, earnest youth]

I doubt this is some sort of Purgatory, considering such things don't exist. Perhaps I'm hallucinating; I know that can happen, particularly if death is difficult.

[his hands fall to his sides, curling into loose fists as he begins to pace, dogged and agitated]

It's possible I was poisoned as I slept. Cowardly, but I wouldn't put it past certain people. I can use this to my advantage, if I'm careful. Best not to dwell on it all. Yes. [softer, a dark mutter] I do hope I was the only target.

[abruptly, he stops; irritably, he snaps at the stars] Shouldn't this have worn off by now?

((Experiment time!

The Doctor has mentally reverted to his youth – well, relative youth. As far as he's concerned, he's just out of Academy, ready to change the world.

He is hopeful, determined, and compassionate; he is also brisk, snarky, and condescending.

HAVE FUN.))

[worries at his lip] That...that does sound like him, yeah. He never says - and then one day he just blows up about it. And he hates it when everything is unpredictable. We're always arguing about that. [closes his eyes, for a moment]

((...No, he'd probably try to figure out just how that position works and get Koschei to test it out with him.))

[He laughs a little, though it's not because it's especially funny.] That's it exactly, yes. I suppose it goes the same for you, too, then. All of us here and not one has had it go differently.


((And that is why we all love Theta so much.))

[scowls] It's not fair. We were supposed to leave together.

((He's a very dedicated learner.))

I know. Instead it's centuries of fighting. Though, erm, we currently live together. On my TARDIS.

[stares at him, for a bit, and then shakes his head] Better late than never, I suppose.

Well, it's still a bit rocky but it's better than it has been. We haven't spent this much time together since the Academy.
