Mun just got home from "Deep Breath" event.

[fezandbowtie]

 There, there...don't cry munnie. I'm still here... (He gives a smile.)  We can still go on lots of adventures here together. 

Besides, the new...me...  he's not so bad? You did say that you like him so far.  So don't cry.  It'll be fine, more than fine...it'll be brilliant. Brilliant at the very least, maybe even better.

Yeah, but... he's still not you.

[fezandbowtie]

Oh that's what she just said... of course, he's not exactly or entirely me...but he is still me. Just...different in some ways.

(Eleven looks at her with a serious face.) He still needs you. I needed you. That hasn't changed. Not one bit.

With any luck we each get some sort of afterlife, not just the last one.

Did that help? I'm not good at helping.

[fezandbowtie]

That would be nice. I would be okay with that.

(He small smile forms.) Yes, that did help. It helped very much.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Me too.

Huh. I'll have to remember that one, then.

[fezandbowtie]

I hope that's what happens for us. (He looks down in thought.) It's still...change is still hard.

That would be a good one to remember, if you want my opinion. You did brilliantly, it should be at the front of your mind.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Change is never good. Even though it lets us know that time is happening.

*He grins.* I'm not all bad, see?

[fezandbowtie]

That's the only thing it's good for. Letting us know that time is happening, that's it. (He sounds a bit bitter at the thought.)

No, you're not. You're right about both of these things.

Sandman FTW?

[ofdrumsthesound]

I was afraid of that . . .

I'm just crazy enough to be Delirium's own champion.

[fifthdoctor]

[Thoughtful sigh] Well...a new face does take some getting used to.

[fezandbowtie]

I suppose that you're right about that, completely right about that. (Oh look...he remembers you. He gives a faint smile.) It's never without some adjustment.

[fifthdoctor]

[Five had some adjusting the first time out, that was for certain. He unravelled a whole scarf.]

Give it time, you'll settle into it, I say. It's always rough at the beginning...

[fezandbowtie]

Time. I have plenty of that, don't I? (In a sense "we" since he's speaking to an earlier self.)

I suppose I could find something to do here now that the torch has been passed...so to speak.

[fifthdoctor]

[Hang on, give Five a moment...he's not realized who he's talking to and there's a confused look trying to work its way across his face as he looks the other man up and down.]

...yes, I suppose... [half distracted] ...you seem...never mind. [Bah, he's just imagining it, surely.]

[fezandbowtie]

I seem? What do I seem, if you don't mind me asking.

[fifthdoctor]

[Tilting his head sideways, curious.]

...something familiar...

[Scary familiar.]

Very strange.
