[Private to Jesse | Audio]

I hope you've considered who you might visit first. I would personally recommend your brother.

Because now you're in a position to act on it.

[Private to Friends | Audio]

[Timed to later.]

I would prefer you keep it to yourselves, but it seems that finally my efforts have yielded some success. Mr. Pinkman has graduated. [And there's an element of disbelief there, too. A whole weight is lifting off of him.]

And very soon, I will be leaving.

[Private to Dr. McCoy | Audio]

I need to have a frank discussion with you, when you are in the mood and have the time.

Narvinektralonum: expediency is tragic

[Private]

Congratulations. I've no idea how you managed to reform that hooligan, but well done on your success.

[Narvin has mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, achieving deals is good, on the other hand, if the Doctor is leaving this outside-of-time place, there's a future waiting that Narvin doesn't want the Doctor to meet.]

Where will you go?

I don't know yet. But my deal is that I would retain this regeneration and live it out to the end. My next incarnation will be moving on as normal, but I'm proud to say I have the chance to make mistakes that aren't already written for me.

[You've never met a man happier not to destroy his own planet.]

Narvinektralonum: half smile

[Narvin releases his tense breath and relaxes.]

Good. I'm glad.

Are you travelling to a different universe, then? I can't imagine you being capable of laying low while your next incarnation is running about.

championoftime: 7 - I see what you did thar

I admit, I greatly miss when I introduced myself and more often the not the response was "Doctor Who?". I'd much rather go back to that.

Narvinektralonum: snark

timesbureaucrat on July 2nd, 2012 05:29 am (UTC)
[Private]

Good luck, Doctor, wherever you go. I would tell you to avoid interfering in alien affairs, but, renegade that you are, I doubt you'll listen.

[Snark is the best way to cover up that he's a bit sad because he may never see this incarnation again once they're off in different universes pursuing their different business.]

championoftime: 7 - stoic...as he can be

championoftime on July 2nd, 2012 08:51 am (UTC)
[Private]

Of course I won't. I may not be able to return, but I'd never give up me.

I hope you think of me time to time, especially should you find yourself in Zero again and require someone to bring you a drink and some company. Don't be afraid to ask for it.

I'm sure your memory will spring to mind every time I meet a reckless meddler. [He'll miss you, Doctor.

He looks away from the screen, taps his fingers. Goodbyes are hard and he's still not used to them.]

You'll be able to go back to properly disliking me, now.

[They are. And they hurt. But he's gotten to be quite pro at them.]

Narvinektralonum: CIA

timesbureaucrat on July 3rd, 2012 07:05 am (UTC)
[Private]

You would have made a good CIA operative, Doctor. [Narvin's version of saying, "I don't dislike you."]

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

championoftime: 7 - I see what you did thar

championoftime on July 3rd, 2012 07:06 am (UTC)
[Private]

I made the best CIA operative.

[The Doctor's version of, "I'm not leaving without irritating your inferiority complex one last time. I'll miss it most."]

Narvinektralonum: head tilt

timesbureaucrat on July 3rd, 2012 07:23 am (UTC)
[Private]

[Narvin scoffs. His inferiority complex is easily irritated.]

Hardly the best. Had you joined willingly, we might have been able to make something of you. But as it was you were undisciplined, uncontrollable, and incapable of following orders.

I know. That's what made me good at it.

[Proud of Narvin forever.]

Insufferable. [He mutters.]

Occasionally remember what I wrote on your copy of the laws of time, won't you?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

Narvinektralonum: huh?

timesbureaucrat on July 4th, 2012 06:16 am (UTC)
[Private]

[It takes a moment for Narvin to realize what the Doctor is talking about, since in his mind he thinks of it as "What the Other Wrote."]

You? Don't you mean your flood-altered self?

championoftime: 7 - a little norty

championoftime on July 4th, 2012 06:27 am (UTC)

[There's almost a tease in his voice.] Just keep them in mind.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

Narvinektralonum: hmm

timesbureaucrat on July 4th, 2012 07:26 am (UTC)
[Private]

Right.

[Narvin doesn't know what to make of that tone of voice, or what that might mean. The alterations were written by the Doctor's flood-self, not his self-self, right? Yes, of course. Because those things were written by the Other, and the Doctor was not the Other, he was the Doctor.

Although there were those legends about the Other...]

You're from the House of Lungbarrow, aren't you?

It's an ancient and renowned House.

[And associated with the Other in the legends.]

And it's full of fools and liars now. Nothing like what it was in the past. But then again, isn't that what happened to much of our aristocracy?

Narvinektralonum: focused stare

timesbureaucrat on July 4th, 2012 07:39 am (UTC)

I couldn't say how it compares to the aristocracy of Gallifrey's past. I wasn't there back then.

No, you weren't. Were you. [He has to leave him at least a little confused.]

Good luck in your future endeavours, Narvin.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

Narvinektralonum: lookin' round

timesbureaucrat on July 4th, 2012 07:45 am (UTC)
[Private]

[Narvin is indeed confused. It seems impossible, but sometimes impossible things turned out to be true. Or perhaps the Doctor is simply having him on. This will take some thought before he can come to any conclusions. Unfortunately, with the Doctor leaving, whatever conclusion Narvin comes to, he won't be able to tell the Doctor.]

And to you.

Doctor. [Or Other. Or perhaps both.]
