You know, as much as I appreciate this, and really, I do, don't you think this is a little... tiny bit rushed? You haven't seen nearly all of my episodes yet, you're not so sure about my voice and you're really not sure where you're going with this which are all good indicators that maybe you'll need a little more research before you- oh. Well. Yes, I suppose you've had a few spoilers for a few really sad things. That's a bit discouraging, isn't it.

Well, not to spoil it any more for you or anything, but... everything's going to be alright.
I promise.

Compared to my mundane, yours seems to be doing things quite calmly.

[custardfishsticks]

She's not as impulsive as she was, or, you know, could be. I suppose I can't really talk when it comes to rushing into something without knowing much of what we're getting ourselves into.

Hello, nice to meet you, I'm the Doctor. I don't believe we've met.

[sihayachani]

[Chani hopes that someday she will be able to say the same about her mundane. But alas, she's a woman of few words.]

Chani. And no, we haven't.

[custardfishsticks]

Chani. Good to meet you. Where are you from?

[frompontiac]

You really can't make that kind of promise. Just, uh, thought you should know.

[custardfishsticks]

No, I really can, because I already know. I know how it ends.

[frompontiac]

Oh, do you? Because just knowing the ending makes it okay to screw people over and hurt them along the way, so long as nobody ends up dead? That about right?

[custardfishsticks]

[That slows him down. He meets Jimmy's eyes honestly for a moment, but it doesn't- he doesn't last.]

No, actually. I never said no one would get hurt, because I'm quite sure I can't stop them from being hurt, and I can't even say no one will die.

[Because he will. And he knows he will. It's sad, and it's scary, and he knows.]

But it will be alright.

[Sounds a bit more like a mantra now.]

[hullo_sweetie]

Spoilers - that's my word.

[Why hello Doctor]

[sihayachani]

Arrakis, though we call it Dune. [She might explain a bit later if you ask.] And what about your homeworld, Doctor?

[frompontiac]

[He sighs, and glances around the room for a second before looking back up at Eleven.]

The hell does 'alright' mean, then? Because... none of that sounds like alright to me. At all.

[custardfishsticks]

[Why hello there!]

I thought you wouldn't mind if I borrowed it just this once.

- twice, technically.
There. Do you?

[hullo_sweetie]

[She chuckles]

I don't mind, sweetie. So, your mun has big plans for you?

[custardfishsticks]

Well, the universe won't fall apart, and the earth will be fine, and my friends and I will be around for a while. There is that, if you'd like to count it.

And there'll be a wedding! I like weddings.

[custardfishsticks]

None at all! So far, at least, she used to be very big on plans but that's not been going so well and anyway, you know me and plans and my preference for making them up as I go along.

What about you? Up to something brilliant, I bet.

[custardfishsticks]

Oh, that's- [A Really Long Story-] well, you could say I'm from everywhere. Never stay anywhere for very long.

Dune sounds nice though. I don't think I've ever stopped by there.

[frompontiac]

Why, because you said so? What if you're wrong? What if something goes wrong? Or right, I don't know how it works. Why should she believe you?

Look, I know-- I know how easy it is. To just not... question things like this. But sometimes, sometimes you have to, okay? Sometimes you do. You can't just take someone's word for it, not for the things that actually matter. More than the universe, anyway.

[custardfishsticks]

It won't go wrong. [Or rather, it does go wrong, but he fixes it.] And if she doesn't believe me, she can check.

Or I suppose I should say, it didn't go wrong. And that's how I can be so sure.

[sihayachani]

Muad'Dib said once that "God created Arrakis to train the faithful". [aka maybe it isn't that nice to you once you meet the extreme heat and the huge worms] But it is my home. It will always be.

[custardfishsticks]

[....can't win them all. He has seen worse, but on the other hand, there are things he doesn't absolutely need to see in person.]

Oooooh........

...Well. [Staying away from dangerous places? Him? .....pfft.]

One visit might not be too much. See, this is what I like about people, they always somehow pull through if they set their minds to it.

[sihayachani]

[And the thing is that they are necessary for the well working of the universe Chani lives in. Because they are the source of the Spice. And without spice, there's nothing.]
You speak a bit like Muad'Dib.

[custardfishsticks]

Oh, do I? I can't say we've met, but that sounds like it's a compliment, in which case, thank you.

[ophiovacca]

I think that's an assurance that many of us here need~

[custardfishsticks]

See? That's what I thought, too.

I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true, of course, that would be... no that just wouldn't do. But I am getting ahead of myself, my apologies. I'm the Doctor! Nice to meet you.

[ophiovacca]

Regina. [she smiles warmly, offering him her hand.]
