Astrophobia

Acrophobia would hardly be an irrational fear at present. Indeed, it would be very [takes a step] very [another step] practical. This is possibly one of the very few instances in a normal individual’s life where siderophobia might be considered rational as well. And so they would cease to be phobias.

Incongruous but coherent structure... far too lucid to be any breed of hallucination or dream. The idea of it being true space is out of the question, of course.

[picks up a discarded hat, examining it] The two most likely options are thus illusion or reality. I wonder which it is. [sets the hat down again and carries on his way]

Your people?

Yes - I'm a Gallifreyan, or Time Lord.

[light smirk] My universe has aliens.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

I would suggest that most universes do.

So your - species is Gallifreyan? And is 'Time Lord' a synonym, or title?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[the smile widens] Quite probably.

A synonym, though some prefer to think of it as a title. [see what I did there]

[smooth move, Ash]

I don't think I caught your name.

[I thought so]

I'm the Doctor. [small smile] And yes, that's it.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Then I'll simply have to say I am a doctor - Jonathan Crane.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

It's a pleasure, Dr. Crane.

If you don't mind, how do Time Lords have a---particular connection with time?
