new muse has a hard knock life

[nontravel]

Look, I have no clue what you're thinking, but I do not want to be in your head and I don't want to go to a different universe or 'game' or whatever you call it. Why does it have to be me? You couldn't just pick someone who would like going to new worlds, like The Doctor or even Rose? It had to be me, the guy who doesn't want to go tra--

Oh now I get that name you picked. Real funny. And I'm not being a coward, I just don't want to leave! I like being stationed in one location and I would appreciate it staying that way.

Now cut it out -- whatever it is you're doing.

You think you have a hard life? Really?

[justthedoctor]

Oh, come on Mickey-boy, it'll be fun. And from what I've heard about goin' to games, they're a lot safer then travelin' with me. Live a little.

[ninth_doctor]

See, Ricky? I'm never wrong.

[He grins.]

[slewthetyrant]

You ought to see all the travelling going on in my game.

[nontravel]

Not at all. I have a great life and I like to keep it that way. Guess I can't expect a maniac like you to get that.

[nontravel]

No offense Doctor, but going anywhere alone is safer than traveling with you.

[nontravel]

It's Mickey and you can't say you've never been wrong at least once.

[nontravel]

I rather not travel at all. --Are you safe at least?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Get your story straight, dear. You were just complaining about how badly things are going for you.

[nontravel]

It's going bad because this mun wants to stick me somewhere.

Also <3 for picking up Mickey - we need more of him around!

[ninth_doctor]

Oh? How d'ya figure?

[The Doctor is mighty amused, Mickey, mighty amused indeed!]

he's my favorite of the minors <3

[nontravel]

Wha-- don't play mind games with my head. I know you like doing that, but hold yourself back. Anyone can be wrong at least once in their life.

[ninth_doctor]

Anything done in my Eight Body doesn't count. That regeneration went... poorly.

[Not that Mickey knew him back then, but... yeah, best not to talk about it.]

[slewthetyrant]

Well. Mostly.

[If you don't count the fact that she's about to get attacked by xenomorphs and then have to deal with Weeping Angels.]

I wouldn't be terribly safe back home, either, I suppose.

[OOC: Just as a note, Martha is from an AU where she hasn't met Mickey - I don't know when your canon point is, but I thought I'd mention it. :)]

[nontravel]

Eight body? ...Wait, this is only your ninth body then? [Wow...] You know I kind of expected more than just nine.

[nontravel]

Home is never really safe for long stretches of time, so maybe there is no difference between traveling and not. Still don't want to go anywhere if I can help it.

[ooc: he's from the end of season 4 only, but thanks for letting me know!]

[ofdrumsthesound]

That still counts as thinking your life is hard.

Trust me, you have no idea.

[ninth_doctor]

Oi! Wot makes you say that, huh? I only get thirteen an' I feel like I'm going through them too fast as it is!

[He's not pouting - but he is - shut up.]

[soveryhuman]

Well, good luck with that. They've got this thing about being contrary. Where they're... usually always contrary.

[ and we are the winners :'| ]

[nontravel]

I can't see myself gettin' out of this, as much as I want to. Here's hoping she just forgets about it. If not, I just hope I have a way to defend myself out there.

[fists are ok, but guns are always the best.]

[nontravel]

Only thirteen? [He doesn't...oh whatever, it's the Doctor he can't reason with this guy sometimes.] Think of it this way. You've lived 900 years right? That's like one body per century. A good deal if you ask me.

[nontravel]

You're right, I don't. And I don't care to find out.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Bright lad!

[ninth_doctor]

I'm young compared to most....

[He swallows thickly. Thinking of Gallifrey still hurts.]

Right, just because you lot just climbed out of the primordial soup, don't mean that everyone else has as short of a life as you.

[soveryhuman]

Probably a way to do that. Should be one everywhere, somewhere. So... friend of the Doctor's, then?

[slewthetyrant]

I don't blame you, really, especially if you're needed at home. Or if ending up in a game where your soul is ripped from your body and ends up in animal form isn't your sort of thing.

[nontravel]

900 is young? --You're just full of surprises Doctor. And hey, give us a break. Just because we didn't discover aliens for over two thousand years doesn't mean we're that underdeveloped.

[nontravel]

...Yeah, something like that. Friend of a friend, maybe is a better way to put it. He helped out a whole lot of us and flew off in his police box, like usual.

[nontravel]

Oh god, that sounds terrible! ...Though I wonder what kind of animal I would have for a-- wait, no, I shouldn't be saying that!

[ninth_doctor]

[The Doctor just roles his eyes. So, on to other, more important topics.]

So... your mun pick a canon point for you yet?

[ofgallifrey]

Maybe your writer just likes tin dogs. Do they have K9 up there in their headspace? Because that would be great, really, I'd love it.

[nontravel]

I am not a tin dog! And no, she doesn't!

[this is the opposite of what i wanted.jpg]

[nontravel]

Not really. She's thinking after the Daleks come back...again. They have a habit of coming back all the time. ...Well you wouldn't know that. You regenerated in my future.

[ofgallifrey]

Oh, come on. Those were your words, not mine!

[nontravel]

They were. But I'm not "the tin dog" person anymore Doctor. I've changed.

[ofgallifrey]

Right, just like me only you've got the same face. Clearly I know all about that.

But, no, seriously. You're right. You have changed. You've become so much more than you were before, Mickey Smith. And please understand that being "the tin dog" person isn't an insult.

It's an honor. K9 is a loyal and faithful companion capable of more than you were at the beginning, but now. Now you're more! You're better. And for that you deserve recognition.

[ninth_doctor]

[Nine is amused.]

I regenerate in my future too, Mickey. Still don't got a hang of this time-travel thing, do ya?

[He grimaces slightly.]

My mun has decided to have me... before meeting Rose. That should make you happy.

[Only maybe not.]

[slewthetyrant]

Apparently my soul looks like an African wild dog - which made me worry a bit about the way I look, actually, because you ought to see the size of his ears!

[missrosetyler]

Mickey, it really doesn't sound that bad. You get used to it.

[soveryhuman]

Yeah, that's him. Guess that's something he never plans on outgrowing.
