[night has long since settled over Gallifrey and yet he doesn't retire. instead, he leaves his rooms and makes his way to gardens in his section of the residential quarters. there, amongst several other Gallifreyan flora planted there, are several silver-leafed cadenwood trees, their leaves glittering and reflecting a warm burnt orange and red, offset by the few lights still left on in nearby quarters. by his watch, he has an hour before the first sun starts to rise up over the Mountain of Solace. he settles himself against the base of the tree, deciding not to have a seat on one of the nearby sofas. no doubt he'll be joined by others wishing to watch the sunrise, but most Time Lords wait for the second sun to rise. he, selfishly, prefers to watch both.

while he waits, his thoughts return to the Plane and he mulls over his previous explorations and encounters there. too many things--too many new things--for this stuffy Time Lord.

and then there's that forest. what would his beloved cadenwood trees look like there without the magnificence of Kasterboran suns? no doubt they'd still overshadow the ones there in their silvery brilliance, but would some of their magic be lost?

to test this, he enters the Plane, bringing the one tree with him. unfortunately, he isn't anywhere near the forest, though he can see it in the distance--but still... he glances up at the silver leaves now twinkling in the light of the millions upon millions of stars in that place and grins. smugly, of course.]

Better than that forest any day! Just as I thought it would be.

...A what?!

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

A poster boy... Sorry, have you not heard of the term? [He really does not sound sorry]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[flatly] No. I haven't.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

It is slighly hard to explain... You are basically the perfect example of your society, congratulations [Smirk]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, because speaking to two Time Lords is the perfect way to infer such a thing.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

Three actually, and despite that I'm pretty sure that my opinion will not change over time- I'm usually a good judge of character [A faint lie but it's all in the style, and if it unnerves him even a little it's worth it]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[sorry Sorin, but he's just unimpressed.] Oh three. Look at you, really employing some fine scientific testing skills there.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

[...Curses] You really are just proving yourself even more, poster boy.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Well, you've at least proven yourself atypical of your own people. [though his litmus test for that is not getting mauled by a vampire, so that might not be saying much...]

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

...Is that a compliment? [For obviously Sorin cannot stop being awful for a second, humph]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[looks away] ...Take that as you will.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

[Amused] Why, thank you very much.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[grumbles under his breath.] Yes, yes, no need to rub that in.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

[Smiiiiirk] ...Well, I must be off.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Have fun with your little secret security system. Do let the Doctor know if he messed up on it. [because naturally, he didn't screw up any of his parts in it.]

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to, adn if he's not around I can go straight to you.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

...No. No, you don't have to. It was all his design.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

You know how it works though.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

I only partially know how it works. The Doctor finished it up without me.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm perfectly sure that you could figure it out if the need called for it.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[he probably could] Sorry, but it won't be that simple. You've never seen one of the Doctor's "works in progress" before. It'd take far too much time for me to fix all the flaws and that's if I can make sense of what he'd done.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

[Eyebrow raise] ...Is he more intelligent than you then? Or simply more disorganised?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[tries to not sound offended] He's far more disorganised than anybody I've ever met! You should have seen what he'd done to his ship.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

[Mwahahaha] What has he done? It can't be that bad, surely [Says the man who keeps having fits of anger over elites rooms]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

He tried to bypass certain controls on his TARDIS when the ship wouldn't work for him and he ended up making the entire thing a complete mess! If he'd simply asked us for some assistance, he wouldn't have had to do what he did.
