Ah, it's been nice to be back in my own body. Last week wasn't particularly what I would call pleasant, though we've had worse tricks played on us by the Animus. Not that I'm any more pleased with them, of course.

It really is strange to watch seasons pass by sequentially in an Earth fashion. Time Lord and all, I hardly lived my lives in anything close to a linear path through time. How...quaint. A little dull and so slow but I suppose it has a bit of charm to it.

I am looking forward to proper snow. Ooh, we can even build snowmen, have snowball fights, it'll just be like childhood.


Private to Juliet // Unhackable

...I have a question. Do you know how to knit? If so... [He looks more than a little uncomfortable and hesitant about this next part.] Would it be possible for you to teach me the basics?

Right. Um. Story.

Weeeeell, it all started on a empty spaceship...I was with Rose and Mickey the Idiot then. [He smiles slightly in recollection.]

Alright.

We found this Victorian fireplace in the ship, and on the other side was a little girl. I found a way to get in. [A huge smile spreads across his face.] Victorian France! It was a window through time to France in the 1700's! Ahh, it was genius.

Time window. [Look, it just happens, okay.]

Aaanyway. This little girl had a broken clock, but something was still ticking. There were these...[He pauses, trying to think of a way to describe them.] A bit like robots. Weeeeell, they were robots. But clocks too. There'd been one hiding under Reinette's bed, and it answered only to her. And it had been scanning her brain. Anyway. It said she wasn't complete. So I left, went back to tell Rose and Mickey. But there was a time discrepancy. It had only been a few minutes for me, a week for Reinette, and five hours for my companions.

[It sounds a bit on the silly side, but he listens intently anyway. The kittens seem to find the story intriguing enough, as they've hopped onto the bed and are sitting there, looking at the Doctor and listening as well.]

We went back to wandering the ship and found human parts wired into it. We had to assume they were what was left of the crew. I went back through the fireplace. It was Reinette's life still, but decades had passed. She was all grown up. [He pauses slightly to smile, recollecting how she snogged him up against the fireplace.] Mmm.

[That brings a smile to her face, to hear him speak of the Doctor and him at home, playing in the snow.]

I have not played such games since I was a little girl. It will be most fun to play again now that I am older, and have learned to throw better.

We will. If you can describe it, we shall create it. Though the colors may not be exactly what you remember. But we shall make it as accurate as possible to what you want.

Thank you yet again, Juliet. Of course, I trust this to stay between the two of us and the two of us only.

Just...I found out she was Madame de Pompadour. [He smiles.] She thought I was her imaginary friend. She really knew how to make herself look beautiful, you know?

[He hesitates a moment.] She was in love with me.

How terribly unsurprising. You and your Earth girls.

[He keeps a straight face, but doesn't look teeeeeerribly amused at this part of the story. He motions for him to just continue on.]

You have my word, Lord Saxon. I will say nothing of it. We shall work during the day, when Spike is asleep.

Wonderful.

It ought to be...interesting to see people celebrating Christmas here. The last time I was on Earth during the holiday season, people weren't particularly in the mood for celebrating much of anything.

Most people seem to know absolutely nothing of my race. Or too much. Always one or the other.

From: [personal profile] capuletnomore
It shall be interesting indeed. Those who speak of Christmas here speak of celebrating in a way different to how we celebrate in Verona. Gifts are given earlier in the future, it seems.

Why were they not in a mood for celebration?

Alien takeover of the planet. [He'll just...conveniently leave out the part that he was the one who took it over.] Dampened people's spirits a good amount, really.

I would imagine so. The aliens - they were hostile?

[Pfffff.]

Very much so. It all got fixed in the end, of course.
