01. And now for something completely different

[timewill-tell.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor is smiling happily and humming a Beatles song to himself.] Ah, The Beatles. Earth has produced quite the preeminent collection of musicians, though few compare to The Beatles. Oh, but I can't forget Miles Davis and John Coltrane, now, can I? Different favorites for different genres. I couldn't very well compare a rock 'n' roll band to jazz luminaries, it's hardly an even playing field. So to speak.

[Glancing at the food and drink he's precariously balancing in his hands, the Doctor ponders what he's currently holding.] I don't have the affinity for bacon sandwiches that Ace does, but chips are rather nice on occasion, and I must say, I do enjoy these chocolate malts. Far more delicious than carrot juice.

[At last, he realizes he's not on a street, or anywhere near Harry's Café, the place he only just left. It's hard to determine when exactly the scenery changed, but this is most certainly not where he's supposed to be. It's different, and he supposes it should be disconcerting, but with no sign of an immediate threat, he allows himself a moment to appreciate the view.] Well, this is peculiar.

Ha! No, Henry's from... [she thinks for a second] ...somewhere else. He's sort of a Doctor, but he's sort of not, in that he's human, and everything. His world has blimps! Mostly I just tease him, but I only do it 'cuz he's my friend.

[she shrugs!]

I like it enough. It's a great place to live! 'Specially if you're fond of the color green, I guess! We've got lunchbox trees! You should come see it, someday!

He's human...ah, then he must come from a different time than yours? Teasing him seems perfectly acceptable, since you apparently share a rapport. Ace seems fond of teasing me as well, and there's certainly nothing malicious about it.

[Well, really, anything would be better than Gallifrey, although he doesn't hate his home planet as much as he lets on sometimes]

Yes, I suppose it would be verdant, as the name implies. Perhaps I will. I suspect you'd enjoy exploring my TARDIS, were you ever to see it.

Well, I think so. It's 2009 where I'm from, but I think he's pretty close to me. He's just from a different universe. One that doesn't even have magic, and that's kind of depressing.

[she grins]

You're not the first Doctor to say so. But it's complicated, on the Plane. I mean, what with the world-merging and everything, there's a lotta technicalities to consider.

[timewill-tell.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Time is fascinating that way, I've always felt. However, a universe bereft of magic is quite a desolate reality to conceive of, I would agree.

[Looking slightly smug, because he is rather proud of his time-travel capabilities]

Yes, I suppose it would involve a bit of plotting and planning when one considers those variables. I must say, I believe it would be worth it for anyone to travel with me. Oh, not for the company, though I do like to think I'm pleasant enough-rather, I encourage it simply for the experience of traveling the universe, to every place and time you could consider.
