a town called mercy

[timewarrior]

Good episode?

Yes. Good episode. I'm glad the fictional life I lead is subsequently entertaining and emotionally rewarding enough that you plan to continue watching and enjoying it. I'm also glad that it turned out the way it did, as are you.

Violence doesn't end violence, and my morality is my prison... I got some good lines, and some nice themes. Also I got called son, did you hear that? That lovely lady called me son, ha! Twelve hundred years and this is a first in quite a while.

Anyway, let's look forward to the next episode! Amy and Rory keep wanting to take breaks, so of course I've got to come to them and then the danger follows because my entire life is surrounded by coincidence and that's all well and good so long as we're able to put a stop to it. I'm excited! All we've got to do is wait.

[Pfft, course she does, her Dad's awesome in any shape or form]

Where? Well I'm not one hundred percent sure, the locals keep trying to explain but I can't quite pronounce it and they're getting a bit fed up so I've stopped trying. The when's been pretty linear though, since a certain someone left with their time machine. [Pointed look, yes you Sir]

It's been fun, I um, well, borrowed one of the escape pods and went travelling. And oi, I'm not even a little dead thank you very much.

[timewarrior]

Wait, you... survived? You lived after all? Oh, happy day! What a good day this is! Or that was. Or that will be, in some cases. But oh, Jenny, I'm so happy to hear it!

[Watch out, Jen, your dad's coming to envelop you in a big ol' dad hug.]

That means we might meet again some day, and I really hope we do. Though I have to wonder - [And hug over, well, hug half over he's still holding her but he's leaning back so he can get a better look at her face.] - why do you still look like that? You didn't regenerate, so you came back another way... How? Not that I'm against the whole "power of love" idea, parents and their children really do have a very peculiar and special bond, but it's not like it works like that all the time let alone most of it.

[whosdaughter]

Yup, [slightly muffled due to being a bit squashed but she hugs him back] not really sure how.

[She grins up at him] I just woke up. Apparently there was this shiny light stuff and tah dah. Me again. Why would I look different? I like the way I look, I don't want to look different. How come you look different?

[timewarrior]

Oh, it's all complicated Time Lord shenanigans. A process called regeneration - it's what happens to me whenever I get close to dying. There's a way to escape it by essentially becoming a new person. New face, new eyes, new hair, new teeth and once I'm situated I find a new outfit to wear because I can't go around with the old one it just doesn't feel right anymore. You would've looked different if you go out of death by the process of regeneration, which is something Time Lords do, but since you got out of death another way, I suppose it wasn't necessary for you to regenerate, if you even can in the first place.

[whosdaughter]

Wait, you nearly died?! Are you okay?

I don't fancy putting it to a test.

[timewarrior]

Of course I'm okay, just look at me! All brand and spanking new, got the chin, got the bowtie, got a couple different hats I'm fond of. Everything's just peachy!
