026 ▌Intentional Recording [video]

[am_i_being_rude]

I've heard there's a bunch of people I ought to know floating around out there this weekend. Shame none of you have run into me yet, though for the moment I'll chalk that up to my being busy being incredibly brilliant and not staying still and having a new daughter to teach the wonders of the world to and all sorts of other reasons. The point is... You know. Hello!

[His turn to stifle laughter. If only she'd seen how well he listened to himself about a month ago.]

Haven't seen that one in a while. Fairly accurate description though.

Oh, darn it. [ She stomps her foot. ] Sometimes I wonder if he loses me on purpose.

[am_i_being_rude]

You know, I'd say he probably does on rare occasions. Bit of an odd one.

[headstronger]

Well, if you see him, could you tell him I'm looking for him? I can't find the TARDIS either. I hope everything is all right.

[am_i_being_rude]

Oh, she's fine. Probably going to have to die her roots again here soon but Rose has been doing that for ages and I don't think it counts as an issue. Nothing to worry about there. You've actually done a very good job looking for him, you know, even if you haven't noticed it properly quite yet.

[headstronger]

Oh, don't be silly, the TARDIS doesn't have roots. She's a box.

[ ...She hesitates, and then she peers more closely at the camera. ] You must be kidding me. You're not--?

[am_i_being_rude]

Right. 'Course.

[He's just going to grin bigger and bigger until she gets it.]

[headstronger]

When did you change? Did you hit your head when you arrived? Are you okay?

[ Sure, he might have implied he'd been here a while in his initial recording, but all of that has flown out of her head now in worry. ]

[am_i_being_rude]

Well, arguably, but yes, I'm fine. Changed quite a while ago now. And again since then, even. But how are you?

video;

[headstronger]

...Confused.

[ Quite a while ago? Doctor, what have you even been up to. ]

[am_i_being_rude]

I think I do tend to have that effect on people even now, yeah. It's a fun effect still. Didn't fall in the fountain did you? Lots of people seem to crash into the fountain. That seems like it would just be bad luck if the visitors started doing it. Wind up falling on top of one another and wouldn't that be uncomfortable.

[headstronger]

You still talk too much, that's for sure. You could be at bulletpoint and out-chat the gunman. [ Smiles. ] No, I didn't land in the fountain. I've just been wandering about a bit. I met Rose.

video;

[am_i_being_rude]

And I have! A few times, actually. Have you? Did you two get on? [Because the first time you two met, when you were older, you ... won't.]

[headstronger]

She told me you left me a long time ago. To her.

[ She doesn't seem very pleased by this. ]

video;

[am_i_being_rude]

[... Thanks Rose.]

You know how things go.

video;

[headstronger]

I suppose I do now. [ >| ]

[am_i_being_rude]

Now, don't be like that. You haven't got a clue what the circumstances were.

[headstronger]

[ Still a bit sharp. ] Welll, I know I wasn't dead. And you weren't, at least not in any permanent way.

[am_i_being_rude]

You might have asked to go home.

[headstronger]

I wouldn't! Who would watch out for you then, you ridiculous grinner?

[am_i_being_rude]

First prize grinner, that's me. Totally ridiculous. This grin's stopped wars! And... started a couple, but I fixed those.

[headstronger]

I'm not at all surprised.
