Voice testing...hopefully heading to asgardeventide

[crossways]

All right, Missy, care to explain what's going on?

You take me from the TARDIS and expect me to quietly shuffle off to whatever place you decide...and while the Doctor's running about on his own!

Well, let me tell you: I've had enough of these old cities and their household gods. Who's to say they're not all aliens again?

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm better off traveling with the Doctor, so you can send me back now and be done with it!

/couldn't resist xD

[in_the_tardis]

They ain't gonna listen, y'know. These muns.

:D

[crossways]

[She would be so much more horrified by this if she hadn't been warned already.]

Wasn't expecting to see another one of myself so soon. [Looks her double over.] All right, you've been here longer than I have. The Doctor's always going on about timelines so how's this even possible?

let the shenanigans ensue

[in_the_tardis]

Right. Well, we'll start off easy, yeah? What's the last thing you remember?

yes~

[crossways]

We were in the Crucible...the Doctor was just explainin' why we'd have to leave the TARDIS, but the door closed on me.

I can't remember anything after that. Why?

[in_the_tardis]

'Cause that's when - in your- my- our timeline, yeah - your mundane decided to come in an' put you away in their headspace. Which is where y'stay.

...'Least 'til they find you somewhere else t'go. Like a game or somethin'.

Blimey, listen to me, ramblin' away! Oh, my God, I've turned into the Doctor.

are you in a game? just curious

[crossways]

Yeahhh, with all that travelin' we've been doing, it was probably only a matter of time.

Missy here's saying there ought to be a few Doctors around--blimey, there's more of them? One skinny alien is enough for this universe--but that can't be right. Catching us is one thing, the Doctor's another.

[in_the_tardis]

Oh, there's a fair few bouncin' 'round here, yeah. S'pect it won't be too long 'til you run into one.

Some of 'em are, well, our Doctor. And some of 'em are other... versions of him. He does this thing - apparently. Some regeneration whatsit.

[ooc: Donna just got accepted to Project Gemini, which kind of marks her game comeback as she hasn't been in a game for, like, almost a year. Also, can I just say, your Donna is fantastic <3!]

[crossways]

Regeneration? That's it! That's what he did in the TARDIS when one of the daleks got him. That...that weird thing with his hand. 'pparently he got it lopped off one of these past Christmases. [This is the Doctor. She really doesn't want to know how that even happened.]

But how do you mean different? He looked the same to me, though I ought to have smacked him upside the head for scarin' us so.


[ooc: oh, congrats! I was browsing through that game not too long ago, it looks fun. And ahhh thank you! I'm really nervous about playing her XD]

[in_the_tardis]

Well, I dunno exactly what went on then. My mun's tried explainin' it t'me, but it just goes right over my 'ead.

All I know is, that when he's 'bout to die, he... changes. It's some barmy Time Lord... thing. Whole new face, whole new body, whole new 'im. Blimey, though, some of the others I've met. The fashion sense on 'em is enough to make them bloody pinstripes look decent!

[ooc: awwww, you're doing fine! lol, don't worry, we all do. I've been playing Donna for a year and a half now - first on LJ, then here - and I still get nervous!]

[crossways]

New everything? So, it's like he gets some sort of...makeover. [Suddenly, the Doctor and Rose's conversation back in the TARDIS is making a lot more sense.

So is something else.] Oh, that narcissist. That's what he meant when he said he didn't want to change because "look at him, why would he want to?" Thinks rather highly of himself, doesn't he?


[ooc: A year and a half is a long time lakjdkfl and you shouldn't be nervous!]

[ofdrumsthesound]

If only they actually obeyed us when we said things . . .

[unionjackass]

The more you protest the less they're inclined to listen. If their minds are set then that's all to be said for it I'm afraid.

[crossways]

That's new. When's the last time anyone ever listened to something sensible?

[crossways]

They can't force us to do anything. So she wants me to toddle off to some "game"? Well, I refuse.

[clockeyes]

I'm pretty sure they're not aliens, miss! Because then they would have spaceships or something. And they don't.

Plus, gods and aliens are two different things, entirely. You can't exactly mistake one for the other, if you know what I mean.

[ofdrumsthesound]

God knows, 'cause I sure don't.

[unionjackass]

Miss, there's nothing you can do. You may as well play along with it. If it helps, however, the Doctor is there.

[crossways]

[Oh thanks.]

That's awfully helpful. Was there a point to you poppin' in then?

[crossways]

The Doctor? [Congratulations, you just got her full attention.] You're sayin' the Doctor's in one of them "games" this girl's going on about?

[crossways]

You'd be surprised. Some aliens don't look like aliens, and some spaceships don't look like proper spaceships either. [Looking right at you, Doctor...wherever you are.]

[unionjackass]

Yea. Er, yes. [Stop making his accent want to wander.] That's exactly what I'm saying.

[clockeyes]

Hmmm. But still, pretty sure they are not aliens! They're just really powerful beings who can control us. Aliens can't do that.

[crossways]

Suppose he got himself into a spot of trouble again. Always happens when he doesn't have anyone with him.

[Also happens when he does have someone with him, but she'll not go into that.]

[crossways]

You just go right on believin' that. As for me, I'll just ask the Doctor when I see him around. He's the expect, and if anyone would know, it's him.

[ofdrumsthesound]

We have a friend in common, that's all.

[unionjackass]

Doesn't it just? Oh, and he's not the Doctor you're familiar with. He got--

...

--er, older.

[STICKING OUT A HAND.]

The nation of England here, representing the United Kingdom and so on and so forth, pleasure I suppose.

[in_the_tardis]

[laughter. so much laughter.]

You're tellin' me. It's a bloomin' miracle he manages to get that big head of his through the TARDIS door!

[ooc: I know! jkhasjfl, I feel so old, lol!]

[crossways]

If all Time Lords were so arrogant, it's no wonder they've got technology that makes things "bigger on the inside"--they'd never fit their heads in otherwise!


[ooc: how does it feel to be playing her again? :D ]

[crossways]

Yeah? And who's that?

[Giving him all of the skeptical looks.]

[crossways]

You mean he's regenerated. Or done some other barmy Time Lord thing that makes him look different.

[Taking that hand...and gaping.]

The nation of England? No. Way.

Oh, you're just taking the mickey out of me, aren't you. Almost got me there. No, really. What's your name?

[unionjackass]

[handshake :D ] Oh for God's sake--! I'll not bother explaining it again, if one of my own citizens doesn't get it that's really none of my concern.

Er-- Yes, he's regenerated. Still the Doctor though, can't deny that. Ridiculous hair, strange sense of fashion... though I am partial to the tweed...

[crossways]

He's wearin' tweed. My other self was right; and we thought the pinstripes were bad enough!

[Obviously the Doctor's sense of fashion is a much more important topic.]

An' stop avoiding the question. Not very polite of you to keep mum when I'm about to give you my name. It's Donna Noble, by the way.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Our dear Doctor.

[unionjackass]

A culture's identity held together by a people and any sort of government--made flesh and blood and forever connected to its people, politics and yes, even its landmass--me. [HUFF. He looks like a ruffled bird, puffed and indignant.]

Pleasure, Miss Noble. [green eyes flashing; but he settles down.] Yes, anyway...
