Oh, very funny.

[mid_lives_crisis]

Mid Lives Crisis? Mid Lives Crisis? Oh, you're a funny one, aren't you?

[A harumph]

Well, at least you've let me out for a romp as you you so delightfully put it. Oh, yes, you're watching the Boneyard are you? How wonderful - and yes, that is in fact sarcasm. In case your pea-brain failed to notice it!

Oh come along then. Send me out there, on an adventure! Where's Evelyn? Charlie? Peri? Frobisher? [A pause] Mel?

[romana2]

[Romana is just going to be standing here in the corner giggling without stopping. This is the most amusement she's had in some time.]

[mid_lives_crisis]

[He looks over, crossing his arms]

Oh yes, of course you would find it hilarious. Go ahead, laugh at my discomfort.

[He's happy to see you. Really he is. He'll get to that when he's done feeling put-upon.]

Did you know Baker's B-Day was yesterday? 70! O_o

[romana2]

[She tries - though not very hard - to school her features into something more... becoming of a president of Gallifrey.]

Doctor, I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at the rather perfectly selected name you are displaying.

[And she's giggling again - that didn't last long, sorry.]

I did not!

[mid_lives_crisis]

[He harumphs, crossing his arms]

Hierarchy is supposed to be dignifying you know. You're supposed to be all high and mighty, chin and nose in the air.

[And by the way a smile cracks through, good heavens is he pleased that you are not at all like a traditional President of Gallifrey.]

It is good to see you, Romana.

I follow him on twitter. He posted pix of his cake XD

[romana2]

[Romana sighs heavily. There are some days she actually doesn't like being president.]

Well if I must, I must.

[She brings herself into "full presidential mode." But it only lasts until the Doctor's fondness can be heard.]

I would say it's always good to see you, Doctor... but then I'd be lying.

[Don't misunderstand her. It's just that the Doctor's presence for some reason always means something bad is going to happen. And the last time she saw this incarnation, he was going by the title "Lord Burner."]

Aww yay :D

[mid_lives_crisis]

[That is why he made a run for it at first opportunity.]

Oh, I promise I'm not here to rain on the Time Lord's parade! Merely passing through. Perhaps...a cup of tea, with an old friend?

Ask and ye shall receive.

[charleypollard]

You get into enough trouble, Doctor. Do you really have to tempt fate? [There's something shining in her eyes even though her face is deadpan. Something that could be amusement.]

You are already awesome because CHARLEY POLLARD.

[mid_lives_crisis]

[An elaborate, theatrical sigh]

Oh, I suppose you're right. It's my lot in life, really.

NO ONE KNOWS WHO SHE IS. You're the one who's awesome.

[charleypollard]

You sound like it's a burden. You don't have to fool me. You love it and wouldn't have it any other way.

But HOW? She is easily in my top three favourite companions.

[mid_lives_crisis]

[Frankly, he's relieved it's you. It could have been Mel. With the exercise.]

Well...[He waves it away, as if being cornered by logic just hadn't happened]

I...suppose you could say there's a certain thrill to it all.

Because those people haven't seen Big Finish

[charleypollard]

[Instead it's the girl who will know you in the future and the one you will forget. But only after she 'dies'.] Now you're being modest. I've never known you to be modest.

Pfft. Because they are missing out on some of the bestest Who ever.

[mid_lives_crisis]

[Because heaven knows things flow naturally around Charlotte Pollard]

[And it is called 'false modesty'. He has it sometimes.]

I am the very acme of humility, Miss Pollard, as you should well know! A paragon, in fact.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Well, it would explain the coat.

[incongruent]

[ EYEBROWS: UP. She saw that pause, bro, she totally saw it. ]

You might be surprised what turns up in here, Doctor.

Holy crap a *MEL*! :D

[mid_lives_crisis]

[Oh dear. He can full well tell that she caught that, too. Cover and retreat, cover and retreat.]

Oh, I'm sure I would. A most curious place, don't you think? I've seen the oddest things since I arrived. Why, I could swear I saw a giant rabbit on the way here. He called me 'Doc!'

it's not often I see a Six out and about aaaa

[incongruent]

Like in the cartoons? [ Bless his hearts. His rainbow-coated hearts. ] It wouldn't surprise me. Everything sort of starts blending together here. Time, space. Fiction and reality. Right up our alley, I suppose.

I accidentally bought Trial of a Time Lord on his birthday and have been listening to his BFA's. :P

[mid_lives_crisis]

Precisely like in the cartoons.

And it is pretty much our stock-in-trade at this point. We might as well be accredited professionals.

haha, excellent. also wow pardon my slowness.

[incongruent]

It would look nice on a CV. "Keeping track of things in impossible circumstances."

Only if you'll pardon mine.

[mid_lives_crisis]

Hmph, that it certainly would. Though what position we could possibly apply to with that particular skill would be quite beyond my comprehension.

And possibly very annoying. No, far better to roam as we will.

[justthedoctor]

Oi! Be nice to the Mun, they're not that bad! [He should know better then to start this argument with this particular face, but-...] After all, they're smart enough to channel us into their heads, and mad enough to be able to handle that coat...!

[mid_lives_crisis]

[He turns, looking his future self up and down]

Well excuse me! Literally! I'll have you know I am the height of fashion in this! Not..[He gestures up and down Eleven with both hands] all...all tweed. You look like you're about to sprout elbow patches and take up a lecture on the History of Potting!

[justthedoctor]

Excuse me? [Is there an echo in here? Does he even realize he just did that?] Elbow patches? [He holds up his elbow and points. To an elbow patch.] Are very handy, I'll have you know! They keep the sleeves from getting wear and tear! At least I have a sense of color! I don't think that was ever the height of fashion, you're embarrassing us!

And don't be silly! The history of potting is far too broad a subject, it would take too long! Maybe cheese making, or knitting, but not potting!

Inter-Doctor Sniping: A proud and ongoing tradition. McGann even pulled it on C.Baker's birthday :P

[mid_lives_crisis]

Ah! There you have it! Too late already! You'll be sprouting them like a farm, next. And a sense of color? I wasn't aware that drab qualified as a color.

And cheese making? Please tell me that in my old age I don't become quite that dull!

[Granted, he's been lying about being only 900 since this incarnation, so...]

HEE! XD It's too glorious a tradition to let die!

[justthedoctor]

Of course you wouldn't see the elegant use of color in this outfit! You've been wearing neon for so long, you've gone colorblind!

And cheese is fascinating, and fun! Good source of energy and calcium and potassium, and it tastes delicious. [He puffs out his chest just a little.] It's very rewarding, getting to eat the food you've made in your own TARDIS, and the humans always enjoy helping. You know how bored they get.

[Lying is their hobby. Unfortunately it means they can see right through each other.]

[mid_lives_crisis]

Elegant only if you are trying to disguise yourself as someone who sits in armchairs with pipes all day!

Well, of course, cheese is wonderful, we know that. And Really?

[Honestly, he's trying to picture Peri helping to make cheese. The thought utterly fails to materialize into an actual picture.]

You must be joking. Have I developed deadpan humour in my old age?
