Academy era!Doctor because I can and woops well-known PB go?!

[dreamsofthestars]

Honestly, mundane, if you're so worried about what people will "think about it", what are you doing letting me out in the first place? I was, in fact, perfectly content where I was. So, you know, you could just leave me be instead.

No?

All right, stop worrying, then.

If that's settled, why don't we take this chance to snatch that TARDIS a little earlier or something. You can do that, can't you? It's not like they teach us how to control a Type 40 anyway, so if I won't know how to control it in the future, I might as well start early!

[ Yeah, no, not really how it works. ]

Well, that's dull.

[ He sniffs, and makes a sound of annoyance, not unlike the "hm" of the old man who would come to be known as the Doctor. ]

[lupae]

Rose Tyler. And who are you supposed to be?

[dreamsofthestars]

Theta Sigma. You're a human, aren't you? How do you know anything about TARDISes?

[lupae]

Maybe I'm just smart for my species. ( Sassy sassy. )

Besides. Isn't it just TARDIS now?

[dreamsofthestars]

[ That gets a bit of a snort. ]

What's that supposed to mean, just TARDIS?

[lupae]

That's just it, innit? I haven't heard of another. Just the TARDIS.

[dreamsofthestars]

I don't know why you haven't heard of another, but there's loads of them.

[lupae]

If there are so many, then why do you want to steal ours?

[dreamsofthestars]

[ B l i n k. And staring. What the hell. ]

Whose?

[lupae]

( Two can play that game. )

Ours. The Doctor's and mine. Though I suppose it's not really mine, yeah?

[dreamsofthestars]

Doctor who?

[lupae]

Er, yeah, it's just the Doctor. Skinny looking chap, gangly, wears glasses sometimes? Used to be an older looking fellow with big ears?

( Descriptions are hard? )

[dreamsofthestars]

No idea who that is. He just calls himself the Doctor...?

[ That sounds familiar, one way or another but... He doesn't know how, exactly. ]

And he has a Type 40? Is he a Time Lord?

[lupae]

( Should she even be telling him this?? )

I don't even know what a Type 40 is. But he has a TARDIS. ( Ipso facto, he's a Time Lord, right? )

[dreamsofthestars]

It's a TARDIS type. [ Duh? ] It's outdated, no one uses one. Which is why, if you're going to take a TARDIS, you should take one of those. No one's going to care.

[lupae]

He uses it. And it works fine! ( Defensive now. ) And if you're going to take it, we would care.

Unless. You're talking about a different.. Type 40.

[dreamsofthestars]

You just said you don't know what a Type 40 is! Does he have one or not?

[lupae]

Yeah .. well, there is only one TARDIS, like I said! I was just assuming that it was that type!

Why don't you describe it and I can tell you!

[dreamsofthestars]

I... I only know Type 40s aren't in use, and are built for six pilots. We haven't studied them yet.

[ He admits it very reluctantly, but he's really only just started his studies. They won't end for centuries. ]

What I don't understand is why you keep saying there's only one TARDIS. There's not.

[lupae]

What are you then? A Time Lord-in-training?

[ But .. wasn't the Doctor the last of them? ]

There is where I'm from. Just one, yeah? If you get what I'm saying.

[dreamsofthestars]

I'm in the Academy, if that's what you mean. How can there only be one TARDIS?

[lupae]

( A little bit more cautiously. )

He doesn't like to talk about it. There was a war.

[dreamsofthestars]

A war?

[ That... doesn't even make sense. The Time Lords don't do anything, let alone fight in wars! ]

[lupae]

( Well, look who has new knowledge now. Time to cover her tracks; time loops and scary demon time things and all that. )

Yeah. But you're not there yet. Point is.. it's not important to you. I don't even know if it'll happen for you, anyway.

And doing this because I can

[littleshops]

[ Okay, he's going to stop this right here and step out of the mundane's head to lean in and whisper in Rose's ear. ]

He's me, Rose. Centuries before I started travelling.

/screeeeeeech

[lupae]

( Well, that's weird. All kinds of weird. )

Oh. Oh. But you're .. you stole the TARDIS? A little reckless of you, innit?
