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

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.

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.

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.

[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.
