[He appears on the screen, holding a squirmy mongoose. That terrible jester marionette of his? Still sitting on the back of his couch. He's hesitant because he knows what's been going on, and there's some potentially terrible things that he could be admitting about himself right now. So he's going to try really hard not to!] Harper! This is actually your pet. I'm duty bound to return it to you... I have no idea what it's name is.

[And a pause. Okay! Let's go with-] I know how to play the spoons!

[Really?

That's it?

He sighs in relief.] I was worried for a moment that I was going to say something considerably worse! [He ignores the mongoose considering a voyage down his pullover.] Such as the fact I know I'm the most problematic, repugnant, and unpleasant of the lot of me and I'd been better off not even having gone through this regeneration.

[Wait.] Ignore that bit. [He makes a pissy huff and cuts the feed.]

I don't think you're unpleasant.

[championoftime]

I ah... thank you. [He's done a lot of bad things, and thinks a lot of bad thoughts. But when he tries to argue to her that she's a good person and then turns around and says that he's not, it's not helpful.] How have you been feeling?

[alzarian-youth.livejournal.com]

No you're not!

[championoftime]

[Rose-tinted goggles, Adric.] It doesn't really matter, anyway. I've almost finished that vehicle, by the by. I just have apply the jumper.

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

... Tempting fate, Doctor?

[championoftime]

It's a daily activity. I'd get bored if I didn't. Besides, the mongoose is going to nest in my clothes soon if I don't dispatch it promptly.

[timesbureaucrat]

Actually, I think you're the least problematic of the lot.

[Coming from the Coordinator of the CIA, this probably only helps prove Seven's point.]

[championoftime]

[Oh Narvin, you are so very helpful.]

Yes, Narvin, I think you're lovely, too.

[with_discipline]

You're hardly unpleasant, Doctor.

[championoftime]

I am so! I'm petulant and angry and dismissive. And sometimes foul-tempered as well [This might also be angry. Most people just have given up on telling him this.] Now, go finish you're proposal because I'm curious.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

I like you better than the skinny one with the spiky brown hair.

[Private]

[championoftime]

I'm sure he can't help what that light-socket did to him. [Teasing makes the world go round.]

[failed-bluff.livejournal.com]

Hey, you put it out there, I ain't gonna ignore it.

You're not unpleasant, Doc.

[championoftime]

Thankfully, dear boy, you've seen me at my best and I hope you continue to do so.

[peektuttut]

That's probably the easiest thing to ignore.

[championoftime]

That's because you're stubborn!

[Private]

How has the reunion been?

[Private]

[collector]

That's ridiculous. If you weren't that regeneration, you'd never have met Bernice, and I would never have acquired a very good friend. [...Okay, so maybe it would have been better if the Seventh Doctor had never existed.]

[Private]

[championoftime]

Benny knew my ails probably better than anyone.

...Though yes. I wouldn't have traded knowing her, or Ace or Hex. Even Klein, for that matter.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I'm easily more problematic than you. And I'm sure that our first body has us beaten on unpleasantness. He could be quite grumpy at times.

[championoftime]

True, though he wasn't so bad after a bit. [Once he got over that whole kidnapping the lesser races thing.]

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

The spoons? [Mock disappointment, complete with sad shake of the head.]

[championoftime]

Sigh. [He says "sigh", the weirdo.] The worst of all my sins.

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

How can anyone who plays the spoons be repugnant?

[championoftime]

[By laughing in a man's face as he makes him destroy his own planet!] I suppose it might be slightly redeeming.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

[Have a brightly smiling Time Lord President, Seven.] But you're my favourite. I wish you never had regenerated again. [How's that for a compliment?]

[But now that that is out of the way, there are some other things he needs to talk about.] Omega doesn't know who this person you talked about is either. [And bright grin turns into a slight pout.]

[Private]

[championoftime]

[EEEE! Oh heavens!] Ah... thank you. Quite ah... kind observation there. [Even if it, like Narvin's, almost proves his point.] Which person? I talk about a lot of people. [Nervous clearing of throat.]

[love-dont-roam.livejournal.com]

...I don't find you to be any of those things, Doctor.

[championoftime]

Thank you, Rose. [He doesn't believe it about himself. But he'll thank her warmly anyway. She's very nice to say it.]

[deusexmechanic.livejournal.com]

Hey! [Harper looks suddenly cheery, and claps a hand against the side of his journal. Yes he's been backreading his own entries.] Mongoose! I wondered what happened to that little critter!

[championoftime]

Feel free to come pick him up whenever you like!

[Private]

And when you have time, I would like to discuss your inmate with you.

[doctor-of-time.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wouldn't say that. You're hardly unpleasant. Or repugnant. [Not quite addressing "problematic" because, well, that tendency to be destructive isn't exactly something he looks back on fondly.]
