...Well. That's certainly...interesting.

Really, Romana, I would expect better from you.

*wryly* Apparently. I've no idea what it is.

I can't penetrate that mindset, either - it should be very common sense. Ah, yes, they're doing that about now, aren't they? Dreadful idea, entirely counter-productive. Students should be allowed to pursue their own interests - not to say that Gallifrey is much better in that regard, either.

To think they believed you of all people to be lacking in intelligence...well, it speaks of their incompetence.

((Heh. Maybe Five's just determined for things to make sense for once. *giggles* At least one is direct.))

You can be a bit feisty yourself?

Is it not? I should think with how very much more your people know that they would be better at passing it on.

*wry shrug* I didn't exactly apply myself for the first few years.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*opens mouth to argue, pauses* On occasion.

*dry, rather harsh chuckle* You would, wouldn't you? No, they want people to learn only what will best serve the High Council and their vision of what Gallifrey should be.

*slight smirk* We have that in common, then.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*grins* Mmhmm.

*sighs, a trifle disappointed* So not really any different than other civilizations, just more techonologically advanced.

*grins a bit* So I've heard.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*frowns* Not all that feisty...

I'm sorry to say. *sighs, bitterly* It could be quite enlightened if everyone wasn't so utterly afraid of change.

*raises eyebrows* Should I start defending my good name?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*smirks* I beg to differ, Doctor.

Change can be a terrifying thing to some.

Oh, it might be too late for it.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*eyes widen* Well - that - would you, now? ...How feisty have I been?

Hn. You would think that a society that can bend Time to their will could learn how to overcome their fears.

Oh, dear. You haven't been talking to Romana, have you?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Very feisty.

You would think so, yes.

*amused* Just a bit.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

I would attemp to protest, but, well, I did snog you. *dissaproving twist of lips that's rather undermined by the faint blush* I suppose that could be filed under 'feisty'?

To think a world could allow itself to become so stagnated - it's one reason I like Earth, you know. Humans, they change all the time.

I suppose I don't want to know what she's told you.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*faint blush of his own, which is really surprising* Yes, well. There was that...incident.

*skeptical* Do they?

*brightly* Most likely not.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*eyes widen at the sight* Yes. ...It was just snogging, yes?

Well, one can travel back a century and see a marked difference.

*sighs and pinches the bridge oh his nose* On the other hand I do tend to let curiosity get the better of me...

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*more of a blush* Mostly?

*snorts* Not that marked except in technological advancements.

*chuckles* Ah, but I am very good at remaining aloof and mysterious....

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*stares at him for a moment, then once more pinches the bridge of his nose, this time closing his eyes* Mostly.

Yes, well, I suppose it depends on where exactly you find yourself.

*wryly* I'm not sure if I should be grateful or not.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*tries for an innocent smile* Mostly.

*half dark* Yes, well England is letting same sex partners have legal unions now instead of hanging them or imprisoning them just for being themselves, so I suppose that is progress of a sort.

*amused* You should be.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*opens his eyes to catch the smile and return a deeply cynical look, his tone weary* And what, exactly, does 'mostly' entail?

It's certainly more than Gallifrey has made. The process may have taken entirely too long but at least it was being made.

I never got on well with 'should', I'm afraid.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*slightly aggrieved* I tried to get you to talk about whatever was bothering you, but you got downright ... amorous to shut me up.

I suppose. Now if the rest of the world would atchup.

No, I didn't think so.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*hand falls to his side as he regards Byron with genuine surprise* Did I, now? That's... certainly a new method.

Oh, they will in time.

*small smile* Something else we have in common?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

I must say I was quite surprised as well. *faint glare* I was just keeping to snogging. You escalated it.

Perhaps.

So it seems.

(ooc: "atchup" is apparently a word now? *eyes fingers*)

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*raises hands* I'm sorry? *his blush seems to have intensified a bit* Definitely going to have a talk with myself. Honestly...

*with just a bit of sarcasm* Of course I wouldn't know...

Perhaps we should start a list. Now, what exactly did she tell you?

((*giggles* Want to borrow the Doctor's ruler?))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, then the TARDIS almost exploded so you can be relieved that it didn't go too far. *seems to possibly be pouting about that. a lot*

*blinks slightly* I'm sorry. It's just...difficult to believe such things will ever change when you have...I was just a child the first time I saw a man hung for it. It formed a rather indelible impression.

You really oughtn't ask me to betray a lady's confidence.

((Possibly....))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

... ... The TARDIS WHAT?

*looks rather stricken for a moment, his voice growing softer* I do imagine it would. *reaches out a hand before drawing it back* They will - they have. Perhaps not in the minds of the ignorant, but they will eventually be in the minority.

You picked a wonderful time to become a gentleman.

((He's quite willing to share, in the interest of words everywhere.))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Something about moving toward eternity and it draining the power and the life support. But he fixed it! It's all right! I promise...

*slight twist of his lips* They made me leave my home. They imprisoned one of my best friend for two years, almost breaking him, near a century later. It's ... even now, boys are beaten to death outside of clubs, just because they want to be with others like them. It is hard to believe it can ever truly be better.

*affronted* I have always been a gentleman!

((*giggles* ))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*slowly calms, his breathing returning to normal* Well, yes, I would. I should have realised...but, as you said, she's fine now. Well then. *raises eyebrows* Quick fortunate that she interrupted you.

*hesitates, then moves to squeeze his shoulder, gently* I know. It can be...difficult, to see past the atrocities, but there are...there is good to be seen. Good being done.

Do gentleman often make a habit of drunkenly snogging another's partner? *a lack of any real fire in the words, more teasing than goading*

((I think it has 'logophile' scratched into the bottom.))

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

I know what she means to you. I ought not have said it so flippantly. But yes, I suppose it was fortunate, considering how...attentive you were getting.

*small grateful smile* So Jack seems to say, or prove, or. Something.

*tilt of his head, amused* I don't know, Doctor, do they?

((*g* Is he very strict with it?))

ooc

Ok. LJ is going nuts. I was missing tags, not getting notifs, so I came to look if I'd missed one from you and this one hadn't posted so I posted the other one and then this one was there. *eyes it all warily* You need to sic the Evil!Doctor on it...
