You're getting impatient. It's all right, we all do. But, while you're waiting, yes, go ahead and go back. Watch my beginnings and get a better understanding of them. There's plenty there, so go and have all those adventures with me. I hope you have fun. I am so very old now, after all.

You better get started.

Old? You're pretty young actually.

[ofgallifrey]

If I cared to know an archeologist's opinion on the matter I would've asked. And just because I have plenty of future adventures as well as past ones doesn't negate the fact that I am old. Right now, I am old. Too old, already, even before all the... you... stuff.

[hullo_sweetie]

You say archaeologist in such a derivative tone of voice. Honestly, what have you got against them?

[ofgallifrey]

I've already explained this to you once. Do I really need to do it again?

[hullo_sweetie]

Not all of us have fancy time travel machines you know. Archaeologists do the best with what evidence they're given.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Old enough to forget your age.

[ofgallifrey]

Oi! I know exactly how old I am. I am... nine hundred and six, thank you very much.

[ofdrumsthesound]

You made that up.

[ofgallifrey]

I did not! Or, even if I did, there's really no way to contradict what I say because I'm the only one who even has a semblance of knowing how old I am, therefore it doesn't really matter if I just made it up or not because it is, in fact, the only number we're ever going to get for my age and I happen to like it.

So... there.

[ofdrumsthesound]

What planet's years are you even using? Gallifrey, Earth, some other place no one will ever be able to guess?

*He giggles.* Oh Doctor, you're always so entertaining . . .

[missrosetyler]

Well you certainly don't look it, Doctor.

[ofgallifrey]

Rose.

[ofgallifrey]

Rose Rose Rose Rose, Rose Tyler!

Oh, it's good to see you again. How are things? How are you? How am I? How's life? How's the universe? How's Bad Wolf Bay?

[missrosetyler]

Doctor. Hello!

Dunno. How are you these days? Still travelling about with Donna? Universe's fine now, I suppose. It's cold. Very cold.

[ofgallifrey]

No. No, Donna's gone. Donna's... moving on with her life.

I've been traveling alone lately. Had a bit of an adventure with Donna's granddad, though. Still in the middle of that, actually.

[missrosetyler]

Oh, I see...

Well that's something. Bet he's loving it.

[justthedoctor]

I wouldn't encourage them too much. Mine went and watched all of my adventures in two days, and then she went and watched our successor's stories in er...two or three more days, which just threw him up in here with me and has things all confused now.

Daft woman has more excitement then she knows what to do with intelligently. Give 'er something shiny and she chases it like a magpie until she runs it into the ground or wrecks things!

[ofgallifrey]

They do tend to do that, don't they? With all that excitement. Mine's still recovering from when we left, although he's working his way through a few other adventures as well. Wants to go back and learn all there is to learn from the beginning.

A bit ambitious, he is. Sort of... Slytherin. Yeah, very Slytherin. And he wants to see me in Hogwarts, which really isn't about to happen any time soon even though that would be bloody marvelous.

[justthedoctor]

Oh yeah??? Mine's tryin'a do the same thing, too. Hard to find those old telly serials, though. She's watches a couple'a the ones from when we wore that absurd scarf, and the one before that, wth the ruffly tuxedo shirt. Thing. She seems to have a certain fondness for the scarf-years, though. That was the way she first saw us, so it sorta stuck.

Oh man, Hogwarts! you never know, mine says there have been a couple ways to go to Hogwarts around here. Though, ooh, Slytherin, I hope if he puts you there he doesn't try and get you in that house. Doesn't seem like a good fit. Strange, how different the Muns are from us, isn't it?

[ofgallifrey]

Oh, he won't. He has played many a Slytherin in order to know one when he's got one. Definitely not one myself, and he's sure about that. Very much Gryffindor, he thinks, although not a typical one. Says I'm more like Dumbledore than Harry, which is a tremendous compliment if you ask me.

As for the older adventures, mine still needs to meet us when we wore the scarf, though he is quite interested in that part of our history. Sarah Jane Smith's, as well.

[ninetenth]

Y'mean the beginning when you blew my job up or right at the beginning with your first....face. [That. Well, it would make sense to him, at least.]

[ofgallifrey]

My first face, I'm afraid. Much longer ago than your job. Still, it's good to see you. Even more than one of you, hah! This place is great, and the most brilliant part is, we won't remember a second of it so all this is allowed to exist on that basis. It's great - I love it!

[ninetenth]

That is a lot longer ago. Mine has seen a few bits before you with the ears, when you had the scarf, mostly. She saw the first episode, with your grandaughter.

It is good to see you too. This place is a bit...weird like that, yeah.

[ofgallifrey]

Yours has seen more than mine, then, but he's working on it. He'll probably skip around a bit, not worrying too much about going strictly in order. Which is all right and fine with me. Experiencing my travels in a linear sort of way isn't at all necessary.

[ninetenth]

Well, considering the time travel, no. I doubt it always makes sense even in order necessarily. Mine was introduced to it through her boyfriend, they aren't quite up to date with the new one though.
