All or Nothing at All  
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.

Sometimes not even two people can exist in the same spot. In the same timeline, contact with yourself can open temporal rifts and dangerous anomalies. Conditions here differ, however.

I'm certain all thirteen of us could gather together in a spot. But it would get a bit psychically cramped.
Tim Drake: T; Come on I only fell asleep for a min.[personal profile] peektuttut on August 3rd, 2010 09:29 pm (UTC)
[He checked out some of the other conversations.] If you're the seventh, how do you know there's thirteen?
championoftime: 7 - orly[personal profile] championoftime on August 3rd, 2010 09:40 pm (UTC)
There can only be thirteen of us. That's as high as it goes... usually. Certain disreputable parties have found ways to cheat the system.
Tim Drake: T; Do I want to make that a double?[personal profile] peektuttut on August 3rd, 2010 09:44 pm (UTC)
What system?
championoftime: 7 - whut?[personal profile] championoftime on August 3rd, 2010 10:46 pm (UTC)
The proverbial one that dictates we only have thirteen regenerations. It's all very complicated and involves secret organs, biometric energy, viruses written into your DNA, and finding suitable pants that fit afterwards.
Tim Drake: T; You have been pwned by Tim Drake[personal profile] peektuttut on August 3rd, 2010 10:47 pm (UTC)
I hope those organs aren't secret to you guys.
championoftime: 7 - fiddling[personal profile] championoftime on August 3rd, 2010 10:49 pm (UTC)
They're not secret at all, but it's fun to say something is just to see how someone reacts. Usually people don't even ask.
Tim Drake: T; Man I've got a shitton of work to do[personal profile] peektuttut on August 3rd, 2010 10:52 pm (UTC)
How does someone hear 'secret' and not ask?
championoftime: 7 - laughing[personal profile] championoftime on August 3rd, 2010 10:54 pm (UTC)
About the regenerations. [Sounds amused.] Fortunately it had already been explained by now, which makes it considerably easier on me. Plenty ask me about secrets. [He doesn't always answer them, though.]
Tim Drake: E; Smirkity smirk[personal profile] peektuttut on August 3rd, 2010 10:56 pm (UTC)
Don't see why people wouldn't ask about that, either. Martha's told me some about you already, though. Or...the version she knows, at least.
championoftime: 7 - now what do you think that is[personal profile] championoftime on August 3rd, 2010 11:00 pm (UTC)
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.
Tim Drake: T; Smile for the pretty flight attendant[personal profile] peektuttut on August 3rd, 2010 11:09 pm (UTC)
That's one and a half.
championoftime: 7 - what am I doing here?[personal profile] championoftime on August 3rd, 2010 11:36 pm (UTC)
Then one of those you have to ignore.
Tim Drake: T; Lol tutoring. (smile)[personal profile] peektuttut on August 4th, 2010 02:03 am (UTC)
Sounds like a mystery.
championoftime: 7 - mysterious[personal profile] championoftime on August 4th, 2010 04:01 am (UTC)
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.
Tim Drake: T; Man I've got a shitton of work to do[personal profile] peektuttut on August 4th, 2010 04:14 am (UTC)
I'd rather solve them.
championoftime: 7 - comic attentive[personal profile] championoftime on August 4th, 2010 04:21 am (UTC)
Do you, now? Nothing remotely mysterious about you then? Or is it simply a matter of preference rather than one of lacking.
Tim Drake: T; CAN HAS BRO HUGS?[personal profile] peektuttut on August 4th, 2010 04:38 am (UTC)
Maybe a bit of both.
championoftime: 7 - I see what you did thar[personal profile] championoftime on August 4th, 2010 09:01 am (UTC)
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?
Tim Drake: T; Ohhhh you were serious. Whoo. Whoops.[personal profile] peektuttut on August 4th, 2010 07:55 pm (UTC)
Oh, no, boring really isn't the word I'd use for this place. Slow, sometimes. But not boring. I think you and I'll be set.
