20; This is the life you see [the devil tips his hat to me]

[And here's a Doctor. He arrives on the Plane in his clean blue suit, looking more than a little satisfied with the world. Things have gone fairly well in his great plan (tentatively named: "Not Dying", though possibly to be renamed at some later date.]

[Rather than arriving on the Plane with his usual lab supplies or experiments, he's arrived with a checklist and a box full of dusty holiday brochures for a variety of planets and time periods.]

Predictions of my death have been grossly exaggerated, so it seems.

[for now, anyway]





[The Doctor has been canon-updated through Waters of Mars. Feedback is most appreciated.]

You are remarkably difficult to kill. [that may or may not be a compliment]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It's considered one of my better features, I think.

[holds up two brochures for him] Adovibe 7 or Fredtria Major?

[She looks ever so joyful; it remains to be seen whether that'll last for long] Everything is okay then?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not so bad. Doing what I do best rather than just giving up.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Oh, well that's nice to hear. Planning a holiday to celebrate?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Plenty of holidays, actually. [nudges the box with his shoe] All the places I've promised myself I'd go.

Any preferences?

THE DOCTOR DOES NOT GET VOLTAIRE!!!

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

They always are. Don't quote Twain. The blue suit, really?

OH IM SORRY BUT I THINK HE DOES~

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, three judgmental statements in a row. You're on a roll.

[clears throat] Wasn't sure at the time, I'll do what I like, and yes, I think it looks quite smashing, don't you?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess they can be wrong sometimes. It's hard to account for that part. But hey, I took care of your little...data pad thing-y, if you want it back.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Nah, you keep it. Better to be in the hands of a proper hero, at any rate.

[kirk-it.livejournal.com]

['sup, it's the traveling captain.]

Always a good thing to discover.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes.

[nods in her direction] The explorer, right?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[have a Time Lord in full ceremonial garb]

That is why one should never listen to fortune tellers, Doctor.

...Though what are you planning on doing with those? What are they?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Going to all the places I've planned to---why are you wearing that?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Predictions of your death? How terrible!

Does this have anything to do with your problem before?

[he totally thinks you're Kisha!Ten]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Probably---

Wait, which problem?

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

[just standing there, with her arms crossed]

Feeling better?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I am.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Well, this is a much better look for you than moping about. What brought on the change of hearts? [he speaks casually, but eyes the Doctor with curiosity, and a bit of concern]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Long day, made a few "painful" decisions. Changed my mind on a few things.

[It should be mentioned here that Dorothy is NOT saying "i told you so". The reason it should be mentioned is that it is taking an extraordinary amount of effort to keep her yap shut on this subject, to the point where just standing around and not talking is an exorcise in willpower. Never one to turn down a challenge, she does exactly that, and just WATCHES-- in a rather self-satisfied sort of way.]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[It should be noted that the Doctor is not even acknowledging her presence, merely going through his brochures with very careful nonchalance.]

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

How unfortunate.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[wide grin]

You'd have missed me if I left forever.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[ And just have a Romana crouching there beside the box and flipping through some of those brochures of yours, Doctor. ]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[shows her one] What about this?

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

You haven't been asking the right people.

[Because, really, when Drusilla predicts things, she gets it right.]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe not. But I haven't heard you talking about my song as of late.

[curious!Doctor would never admit to being curious]
