Look at you lot.

Ooky-spooky business happening every other weekend and you're surviving. Because that's what this isn't it? Potential. Heaps of potential lumped together, growing and learning from each other. Each of you - being the best you can be because that's what the situation asks for.

It's absolutely brilliant.

It'd be my honour to join your crew, Tranquility.

Glad that someone's having fun.

[timetravels]

Nine hundred and twenty three years after earth, floating in ship without a proper course - that's managed to make punctuation marks terrifying?

[ Have a grin. ]

Right up my alley.

[ofdrumsthesound]

That doesn't even make sense, dear. *He grins back.* So, is there a me there?

[timetravels]

Well.

[ David Tennant chin strokey thing. ]

Not particularly, people who have shades of you - maybe - but not you.

[ofdrumsthesound]

No Masters? That's a shame.

[timetravels]

[ hands comb back his hair. ]

A shame for whom?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Well, you'll be alone again that way.

[gentleman_thief]

Well it was just a matter of time before I met you. Really with everything that happened I almost thought you were real in my universe.

[timetravels]

I'm always alone.

You'd take advantage of them. I can't have that.

[ caring for people he barely knows/not even in the game? YEEEEEP. ]

[ofdrumsthesound]

Not right now. I'm here now.

The drums aren't my fault, you know. Blame the High Council.

[timetravels]

Maybe I am. Universes are a persistent sort of thing. I tend to be really indecisive about them.

Time for me is pretty non-linear, but I am curious on what makes you say that?

[gentleman_thief]

Yes but have you been to one where you have been considered fiction?

Ah yes I know that much about you.

As for why, my mundane was very set on having me meet you and we're a similar business of dealing with strange occurrences within our given universes. My situation obviously being more linear.

[timetravels]

The High Council isn't responsible for your actions. Don't pit that blame on them. [ Warningly. ]

[ofdrumsthesound]

They gave me the drums!

[timetravels]

The thing about legends is that at some points they're counted fiction. Not to brag, well okay - a little bit - but bit of a legend - me. So yes. I have.

But zooming on what's important. What about this situation?

[gentleman_thief]

Mainly ghosts and other beings human beings as a whole don't really want to know about for their sanity's sake.

[Other things include the lovecraftian in some cases.]

[timetravels]

And you let those beats dictate your rhythm. I might not have anyone else but - What you're capable of - your ideas, your brilliance. It's dangerous. I'd have to stop you at every opportunity.

Are you on LJ? I play at the SWS there.

[ofdrumsthesound]

I was only eight years old, Doctor. I wasn't strong enough to fight them.

And hey, if you want to have a truce I'm alright with that. As long as I can still soothe the noise when I have to.

[timetravels]

Sanity tends to be a subjective view point.

I've dealt with ghosts before, with good ol' Charles. Wellllll. Right good fun. "That the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death" - and all that jazz. Sombre Jazz. Jazz you play during a funeral. And strictly speaking, they weren't quite ghosts.

I take it you aren't human?

Nope! This is sort of my first time playing him! c: I dabbled a bit with him on Tumblr

[timetravels]

[ He paces. ]

I always want a truce. I gave you every opportunity, forgiven you after all we've been through.

[ The laugh is dry, almost bitter and harsh around the edges. ]

It's really up to you to answer.

[gentleman_thief]

Your assumption would be wrong. I am human, just a human who has already seen a little more than many. Enough that people saw fit to make me a man who looks out for the rest of society.

Well, we can always use more Tens. And keywords :D

[ofdrumsthesound]

I can't speak for any other self, but I'd be willing to be your weapon. To be the one who kills when there are no other options.

I know you don't like that, Doctor. I know you hate killing. But I also know that it has to be done sometimes, and better by me than by you.

sadskad. It's actually been ages since I've watched Who.

[timetravels]

Killing isn't an option. I don't do weapons, that's the sort of man I am.

If you know this, then why are you offering?

Hey, me too! :P

[ofdrumsthesound]

Because I'd like to be your friend again, but I can't stop killing. Literally can't, I haven't gone more than two weeks without since the Year started and even that long was quite seriously painful.

And it's better if I kill the bad guys than if I kill random innocent people, right? Since I can't ignore the drums I may as well put them to some use.

[itsrosetyler]

Have fun, yeah?
