[Handy's narrator is fail at the moment and failing to think of things to say. So long story short, we find our hero hanging about in the Astral Bar. Alas he seems to be drinking alone though, and that is shameful and sad.

So obviously someone needs to come along and keep him company.

He is behind the bar, trying to figure out what he will be drinking. Being chained to Kisha!Ten was a pain in the behind, to say the least. But now he is FREE! And thus he is chilling at the Astral Bar, celebrating his freedom and things.]

After all the time I've spent here, I've concluded that it's entirely random.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Really? You don't find it even a bit odd that two Time Lords and another Doctor seem to appear within the same week nearly?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Do you find it odd that we won't really notice if they stop coming?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[quiet for a minute]

We'd notice. I would notice.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Would you? Things just fade out here.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Doesn't mean it would go unnoticed.

You'd expect me to notice if you stopped coming, wouldn't you?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. Or perhaps you'd assume I just wasn't hanging around here anymore. Too busy battling the Doctor. Then, oh, too busy dealing with marital issues. I'm still around, I just am not coming to the Plane, right? And you'd worry about it less and less until you realized you hadn't seen me in a year: no one had.

So what's the point of any of it then, if that's all it comes down to in the end?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You're the optimist; you tell me.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

You're doing your best to remedy that though, aren't you?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Maybe if you're pessimistic, I get to be an optimistic idiot.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Because it always has to be one or the other.

...and I'm not an idiot.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You just lost two points for the delayed response.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize we're keeping score now.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I am always keeping score.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Course you are, I just forgot I suppose.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Remind me to get you Fluoxetine for Christmas.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

I'm perfectly fine, thank you.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Desipramine?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

When did you become so versed in human psychotropic medications?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

When did you?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

I'm not! You were the one who made a point of saying you don't know anything about human allergies or the like. I have a bit more history knowing about human things, don't I? It's not as if I'm an expert on the matter or...

[and he'll take a long sip of his drink now]

And stop doing that! Every time I ask you something you turn it back around on me.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[grinning] I know. It's so satisfying.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well glad to keep you satisfied at the very least.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

In this way, if none others.
