Hopping on the train

[dododo]

Oh, what's that supposed to mean anyway? Grow up? I think I've got much better things to do than think about growing up.

[ Aggressively plays recorder. ]

Nice tie.

[dododo]

[ Lights up! And have some excited pointing. ]

Oh, thank you. You too.

[bowtiesandfezzes]

You know, I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes bowties. All of the others just go with regular ties.

Not cool.

[dododo]

Well, yes, that's. One word for it, I suppose. Certainly less... creative.

[bowtiesandfezzes]

Oh, definitely. Though, I can't say I'm as creative as the one with the bright coat.

... Not sure if I want to be that creative, really.

[dododo]

Is that what we call it now?

[gallifreyfalls]

There's a time and a place for being childish.

[dododo]

Is there? I seem to be doing perfectly fine without concerning myself with it.

[gallifreyfalls]

Later on, that's the problem.

[Sigh Two, you're like an echo of easier, better times.]

[dododo]

Hm.

And anyway, isn't there a difference between growing up, and understand the weight of a situation?

[gallifreyfalls]

Of course there is. Though as I previously mentioned to someone else, if someone were to scream the time vortex had caved in on itself, I doubt the first thing they'd want to hear is "Oh it's timey-wimey like that".

[gallifreytotrenzalore]

Right? Growing up sounds boring and rather pointless.

I always liked your fashion sense, you know?

[dododo]

Thank you! I like yours too.

[gallifreytotrenzalore]

Aww, thank you. The purpl-y tweed goes well with my eyes, doesn't it? I knew it.

[dododo]

--if you like. Wasn't looking quite that closely.

[gallifreytotrenzalore]

Anyway, growing up is rubbish. Never do it. Not if you can avoid it.

All the really really good people are children at heart.

[bonnypiperlad]

Grow up? Oh aye, that'd be the day.

[dododo]

A terrible day.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye. Just think, Doctor -- no more building sandcastles, no foam fights, no playing your recorder...

[dododo]

Exactly what I mean; terrible.

[bossily]

Oh, I dunno. Think there's something that could be said for growing up, just a little.

[Nice aggressive recorder playing, though. It's very impressive.]

[dododo]

Like what?

[bossily]

You'd probably use words like overrated and unnecessary, I wager. For me, growing up is...

[She trails off, shrugging a little.]

Sometimes, you just have to. You don't get a choice. You lose things, and then you have to grow up.

[dododo]

[ His expression softens, turns contemplative. ]

Speaking from experience, are we?

[bossily]

That obvious?

[Still, she smiles a little and nods.]

It's usually always coming from personal experience when it comes to things like this, isn't it? I'm sure you've got some of your own.
