The library is fascinating, but I grow bored with this solitude. Surely somebody can indulge me in a bit of conversation and company.

Mighty big words you use there.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

...

All right. Allow me to translate:

"I want talkies with peoples."

[i-hate-posses.livejournal.com]

I ain't stupid. I know what you were sayin'.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Oh good. Just making sure I was being very clear.

[i-hate-posses.livejournal.com]

You got plenty of education behind you, don't you?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Decades.

[i-hate-posses.livejournal.com]

Ain't never seen the use of no higher education. No matter how fancy the words, you still sound like you got your head up a horse's ass.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

No, I don't suppose one like you would.

How rustic your insults are. Why, I needn't a TARDIS at all to get the full effect of Southern charm, do I?

[i-hate-posses.livejournal.com]

Tardis?

You sure don't, Mister.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Out and about, are we? How're you liking the barge?

GYAH being all restrained and not spazzy with him is haaard

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I had hoped that we would be stopping somewhere. As it is, the library has been able to keep me occupied for a short while.

((OoC: Aww! XD *pets Koschei, and subdued!Master*))

Yeah,, well that's the funny thing about cruises. There seems to be an awful lot of boating.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

[OOC: He'll probably be double nuts when the flood stops XD ANNNND tags will be super slow tonight 'cause I've got company!]

But we're passing other worlds as we speak. Why not drop in and see what's going on?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

((OoC: The Doctor will point and laugh and then suddenly and without warning become EMO ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES. And no rush! :3 Have fun~))

As much as I agree with that sentiment, the Admiral, as far as I know, has a certain destination in mind. I'm afraid he's in charge -- mostly because no one can seem to find him.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Awww! As though the Doctor doesn't have enough to emo about these days. XD]

That won't do at all. Has anybody searched hard enough?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Well, as I understood it, someone who was particularly interested found his progress in tracking him down impeded.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Then I'll have to occupy myself here, I suppose. What does one do for fun when trapped on a boat?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Any number of things! Read, talk, cause havoc.

Granted, it's usually the more unsavory types doing that last bit, but it seems to be working well for them. Not suggesting it, of course.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Hm. I'll have to content myself with talking for now. How long have you and Romana been here?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Well, I've been here for only a month or so, maybe less. Romana was here first. We haven't had a proper shore leave since I've arrived.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Are you sure there will be a shore leave at all? What if it's just a... carrot they're dangling over your head-- pardon my Earth colloquialism. I'd been reading so many books from that planet today.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Reasonably sure, yeah! It's part of the draw of joining up with this place, you see. I've heard tell a previous trip -- whether that was just a mass hallucination, though, remains to be seen.

Good metaphor, by the way.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

What was it?

Thanks. I do find the planet very interesting, although not quite as much as a friend of mine-- sometimes, I think he'd rather have been born there than Gallifrey.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Venice, I think. Around the 21st century, I think.

. . . Yeah? Well, to be fair, Earth is a fascinating place. A bit backward at times, it seems, and occasionally you wonder how it is that any of them survive for as long as they do, but humans -- oh, they're brilliant.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I've not come across many, myself-- until coming here, of course. Not terribly impressed with some, though. They really are quite remarkably similar to us! Brilliant, though? I haven't been around them long enough to see that, although their literature is quite impressive.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

I've traveled with quite a few, and I had a prolonged stay on Earth for one of my regenerations. Fantastic people, really, if you give them a chance and ignore their primitive mindsets.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Of all the species in the universe, what is it that makes them so unique to you?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Oh, they're just so-- human. Tenacious stubborn, brilliant--

And just a bit thick.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

...I don't follow. These qualities make them brilliant?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

It's a strange combination, to be sure, but-- yeah, it sort of does.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

...that doesn't make any sense!

The ones here just seem to pound their chests and threaten each other to varying degrees of success.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

. . . Yeah, to be fair, I wouldn't take that lot as your main example of humanity.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Ah. According to some, this vessel is a prison ship. That could explain the... crassness of the humans I've encountered so far.

Hm. Surely I haven't done anything to warrant a sentence?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

. . . It is, yeah. Wardens and Inmates on this ship alike, though. Prisoners and reformers, you see.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

So which am I, Doctor?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

. . . Spoilers.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Of course.

But I must be neglecting my duties-- whatever they are-- while I'm in this... state.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

. . . Oh, no, don't worry too much about that. It seems that once you're here, time is quantum locked back home. You'll pop-back right where you were when you left.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Right on time for my exams!

...right on time for my exams... Ergh.

Well, I'll have to make the best of this time even if we seem to be passing by so many magnificent places, opportunities... Perhaps you, Romana, and I should get together?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Oh, exams. Blimey, I hated those -- barely passed. Although, to be fair, I think I might've fallen asleep during one.

. . . Yeah, sure! I'd like that. Could be fun.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Hmm wanna do a log or action spam? I figure if this is timed right, he could re-Masterize in the middle of it :D]

[lastpresident.livejournal.com]

{OOC: happy with either for random time lord froth :)

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

((OoC: I'm fine with either, as well!

. . . and I'm clearly no help. XD;))

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Then I shall start it! Uhhh once I get the chance!]

[lastpresident.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we should.

Discuss...the acadamy and such things.
