[the newly arrived Time Lord is quiet as he first takes in his surroundings, his boots lightly thumping on the metal ground as he walks in a slow circle to see where the hell he is.]

What sort of place is this? This can't be right... [his nose wrinkles somewhat as he smells something he can't quite place, but his attentions are soon elsewhere.] Nothing adds up correctly. Not the stars, the ground, none of it. Just where the hell am I?

Oh, if that girl did anything to my Time Ring... It's one thing to grieve, but to take it out on somebody else's personal property--!

No, it's just acting up. Damnable thing. If they'd just given me a TARDIS, none of this would've happened! [of course he's lying to himself, knowing full well why he couldn't have a TARDIS previously.]

[he falls silent for a moment, folding his arms in front of his chest.]

I wonder why we've never heard about this place before. The High Council will be very interested to hear about this.

[frowns slightly and begins rubbing the back of his neck, dropping his voice.] Well, I don't hate him.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

He annoys you though? Too hyperactive?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

No, not the one I knew best. He's, oh, like I said, it's complicated. He gets involved in things he has no right to in the first place.

But...he does things that I'd never do. [hesitates to say this, knowing full well he'd never hear the end of it if the Doctor got wind of it.] Admirable things--to an extent, anyway.

Nosiness is a good thing, you find out more.

[Don't worry, she'll have forgotten within a few hours] ...Bravery is better than cowardice, you achieve more.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

So can observing with an impartial eye. You can gain a better overall picture.

However, there is a line between bravery and sheer recklessness and he crosses that line far too often. He wouldn't be through so many regenerative cycles had he exercised an ounce of caution once in a while.

...Whatever [For that is totally a appropriate answer]

How many have you been through? Just for comparisons sake [Personal questions taste like cake]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

If you really must know, I've only been through the process twice myself. Entirely unpleasant, but necessary.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...He's been through it about nine times hasn't he? Or ten, I can't remember.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

As far as I knew, he'd died while in his eighth, but apparently, he's made it all the way to his tenth.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

That must take quite some skill from him.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Probably not the sort of "skill" you're thinking of.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Well, he hasn't died permanently has he?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

No, apparently he hasn't. I...I thought he had.
