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

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[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.]

How are you selfish?

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

I never surrendered myself in the name of all things companion.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware there was a name of all things companion.

[reaches over to touch her shoulder experimentally]

What did you surrender yourself to?

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

[her gaze flickers to the origin of the touch, but she doesn't flinch]

My own life. My career. My rules.

You never did like me in your dust, Doctor. I went off in search of my own.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Archeological dust. I couldn't have approved.

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

[her eyes flash]

And that.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[grins at the look]

There you are.

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

[and now her hands are on her hips]

I never went anywhere.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Didn't you?

[hops up and steps towards her]

You're far too enigmatic for me, Professor Song.

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

[if he thinks she is going to yield any of her space, he's wrong]

Then why aren't you leaving?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I didn't say you scared me away.

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

So many things you didn't say. What are you saying?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

You know. [leans in conspiratorily] I'm not sure I know half the time.

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

[she leans in herself]

Just a rule when you share a secret Doctor. It shouldn't be something we all already know.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Do you dance?

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

What do you think?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of things.

Do you dance?

[everybody-lives.livejournal.com]

I guess that depends on what kind of dancing you mean. You never could just ask a question.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Is that your way of saying you don't dance a certain kind of dance?
