All or Nothing at All

[championoftime]

Hello, I'm the Doctor.

[He pops off his hat in greeting to the camera, eyebrows shooting up with the gesture and then replaces it.]

Yes, another one, I know. But we're really not all the same are we? We have our own ticks and habits above similarities. Sometimes I think we're all squabbling siblings vying for the same body rather than an individual. Something that I occasionally reflect on. [He rolls the "R" in "reflect" thickly.]

Anyway, the Admiral informed me that more of me might be meandering about here, so I'll assume that most of you are at least vaguely acquainted with who I am. Whether you believe me to be an "old geezer" I've gotten that one a few times or the one with the scarf, it is still me. But all of you I haven't had the pleasure of making acquaintances with.

So, introduce yourselves! No time likes to give presents.

Ah, well, lets hope we can keep you from a state where you need it quite so often. Not that I'm sure your company isn't a pleasure, but prevention trumps medication.

What is it that you do?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

I don't normally need cheering, thankfully.

I'm a doctor here and a warden.

[championoftime]

Some parts of me stay the same and some parts of me change, therefore I'll conclude that half of what you heard is true, half of it possible, and half of it lies and conjecture.

[peektuttut]

That's one and a half.

[championoftime]

Then one of those you have to ignore.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Well I'm here because this sounded like fun. I didn't really make a deal or anything...well, I suppose I did make a deal after I died. I wasn't quite ready to regenerate just yet. Besides, I still had an inmate to redeem!

[championoftime]

I was a little concerned one of us might have made the "inmate" list. I hope that's had yet to happen.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Ergh, that wouldn't be fun. It would sully our good name. That and it would be slightly weird.

[peektuttut]

Sounds like a mystery.

[requiresssacrifice]

A little bit of all of the above. Science can be so... versatile.

[championoftime]

[Secretly he's glad he didn't end up in that spot.] It would have been a bit of fun thwarting ourselves every once in a bit.

[championoftime]

[You sound very earnest about that versatility sir. Let me counter your dramatics.] Yes, especially with a precise recipe for peanut brittle which is inevitably erred in the making. Even with specifics.

[championoftime]

I've heard a few aboard enjoy mysteries. It's rare for one to enjoy solving them as much as he enjoys being part of one.

[championoftime]

And the medical service aboard the ship?

[peektuttut]

I'd rather solve them.

[championoftime]

Do you, now? Nothing remotely mysterious about you then? Or is it simply a matter of preference rather than one of lacking.

[peektuttut]

Maybe a bit of both.

[grayatonement]

What distinguishes you?

Sylar.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I guess you're right about that.

[championoftime]

I was getting a bit tired of ending up incarcerated myself. So! Tell me more about your inmate! I'm excited to meet mine.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's quite fun! His name is Captain Findthee Swing, but I just call him Swing. He's actually doing quite well at the moment. We got him to stop torturing, but he needs to make more friends with the inmate population. Unfortunately, he views them all as ingrates and below his level-he was a policeman, you see.

[championoftime]

That's unfortunate, he really ought to give the potentially reformed a chance. I had quite a bit of help escaping a plot a while back from a kindly former debt collector. He accompanied Mel to keep her safe, just because he was actually a stand-up fellow. In the end, he decided to take up protection as his calling. I even asked him to come along and he decided his place was already found.

I thought I replied and didn't! Fucking psychic replies! *fistyrue!*

[championoftime]

That seems familiar. Ah, well. It's my excellent sense of haut couture and my rugged good looks.

<3

[grayatonement]

Right. Good luck here.

[championoftime]

Ah. Well then, mystery does love company. Perhaps we'll find enough brain-teasers to keep us both going on here. Or do you find it abysmally boring?
