On Canon Updating

[missrosetyler]

Mun,

I don't get why you've got to do that. I mean, I sort of like being myself. Not that I'm gonna forget everything that's happened. Or at least I hope not. You're not that cruel, yeah? Anyway, this whole no power business is a bit of a mystery just hope he's okay.

If you're worried about either of the younger mes, I can tell you that they'll be fine. After all, I know how I come about, don't I?

And if you're worried about me. Don't. My writer might try to compress as many extra-canonical elements as possible into this, but there are no intentions for cruelty.

[At least as far as he knows muwahahahaha.]

But what is this about you and canon-updating? Why? And how far?

[Rose doesn't really have that much farther to go, that the Doctor can remember.]

[missrosetyler]

You're so sure about that aren't ya? You might surprise yourself.

Suppose yours just likes to challenge you.

I don't think they're really sure yet but probably around midway through my travels from when after I go back. Dunno why. I don't want to though.

[not_the_question]

I don't like being sure about things.

[Which is a far cry from his younger self, who always had to be sure about everything.]

Yes. Doesn't yours? Isn't that what that is all about?

[He pauses.]

Oh... Well... Maybe not. Is that even worth it? I mean, why not update all the way?

[missrosetyler]

...You don't?

[Thought that was a trait with you Doctor.]

Yeah but I wish they wouldn't do it so often. Vacations can be nice you know.

Dunno. Don't start given'em ideas. That would really complicate things.

[not_the_question]

One minute you're sure, the next a piano falls on you and everyone turns in the lizards.

[Sorry, that line never gets old.]

Well, if it's a vacation you want, you should be asked to be put in a corner, rather than in a game. It's really simple, Rose.

You think? I think it'd be easier.

[missrosetyler]

Right cause that what always happens to you.

[scarcasm.]

In a corner? I am not five you know.

Of course you'd say that.

[borntolove]

[Don't underestimate the cruelty of mundune's Rose]

Got to do what, Rose?

[missrosetyler]

Take me away from where I am to have me go through things

[borntolove]

Whut's the last adventure we had together?

[missrosetyler]

Canary Wharf.

[It's hard for her.]

[borntolove]

[Hard for him too]

Rose

[Ten whispers tenderly]

Do you have a version of me that you know in the place you're in right now?

[missrosetyler]

[It is going to be even harder if their mun updates them further on.]

Reckon they are sort in hiding right now so I don't know anymore. The clone version of you is there but he's not you.

[timeslastsoldier]

Can't change if you don't move forward can ya? That's what it's all about, Rose Tyler. Change. Adaptation. Renewal. Without that you're just stuck.

[missrosetyler]

Dunno, sometimes it can be a bit bad, Doctor.

[She smiles at him though. She hasn't seen that ace in ages, only a memory.]

[timeslastsoldier]

Gotta take the bad with the good sometimes. [though he can't imagine how it can be worse than almost dying a thousand times with him.] But you'll come through alright. You're surprisingly resourceful, you know, for a human.

[missrosetyler]

Your faith in me is flattering, Doctor. [But he doesn't know what happens in the end for her. The changes. Sometimes it can be bad. She knows what waits in her future.]

[timeslastsoldier]

[that's the problem with spoilers] Yeah it is. You deserve it, though. Not sure if I'll ever find another like you.

[but he'll try, he knows himself that well. Try and fail and move beyond it because in the end, everything dies and everything changes. Including him... or maybe, himself most of all.]

[missrosetyler]

[Spoilers can be bad. Very bad in this case, but she knows she can't do anything about it.]

Oh c'mon Doctor, don't say that. You can't be alone, yeah?

[At least she hopes not. She hopes that he has her as company in some way.]

[bigbadrose]

Updating's not always so bad. I almost prefer it in one place. Know more, easier to field what I'm doing. More secretive though, that part's no fun.

[missrosetyler]

Secretive? Blimey, does it really get that way in the future?

[bigbadrose]

[Face palm.] Yeah...

Whole big "defender of Earth," deal. Really goin' through with the whole 'Someone's gotta be the Doctor' route.

[Leans her arms behind her neck.] 'm not willin' to try it in the other place though. Means leavin' the Doctor on his own for a bit, and you know how disastrous that is.

[missrosetyler]

I see. Well that might be a bit fun then.

[She considers it for a moment but she knows the outcome. She can't change it.]

Him and alone never really mixed. Suppose I can understand though. Not wanting to leave him. So you're both happy? Living together?

[bigbadrose]

It is fun! But travelin' and adventures always is, yeah?

[Nods!]

[And puts a finger over her lips, giving a secretive grin.] I have two of him actually.

Want one?

I keep sayin' even with two of him, he still can't keep me out of trouble. Sorta forgot that it means I'm workin' doubletime to keep him from losin' what few marbles he's got left. Bright side? They both actually sleep there. Otherwise I'd never get five minutes.

[teethncurls]

No power?

[Thinking, and sort of staring a bit with rather wide and amused eyes.]

I believe I, in an older and white topped model I might add, was muttering abot something similar.

[missrosetyler]

Yeah reckon it is gonna be that way for a bit more.

Were you now?
