TM Topic #170 - Time

[thecricketer]

He tries to explain.

"There are some rules that simply can not be broken."

He breaks rules all the time, they say, bending and twisting to save lives, to make things right.

"Yes, I know, but even I can't...look, Time is very resilliant, it lets you get away with any number of things if you're careful, but..."

They stare at him as he speaks, stricken and uncomprehending.

"Look, I can not interfere with my own Timeline! It would have repercussions that you could not begin to understand!"

They turn their backs on him as he recites ancient principles and quotes platitudes of responsibility, clasping their hands together as they head for their room to grieve in peace.

"I'm sorry," he whispers. They do not hear him.

It is a conversation they will never have, because he knows how it will end. Instead, he argues silently with himself as he pretends to repair the console.

(I would offer a link but, well, public space and all and...well.) *wryly* That does seem the most rational solution. *ponders siccing Peri on the crazy woman* ;p

(XD Yes. He certainly has his moments. As do I! Turlough's another of my very favourites, actually.)

(I'm off to bed, but I'll be on AIM tomorrow, like a true invasive pup, she has her own screen name "The Trakenite") He didn't get so lucky. His typist gave him to me in exchange for marriage to Romana I from desperatescreen who I also type for. ...Nyssa would like to offer slipping a sedative into my tea.

(<3 I may using a bit of my desperatescreen interaction in prompts because our Turlough there is amazing and he and Nyssa get on surprisingly well. Adorably during one of their interactions Nyssa made a comment about trust and he got all adorable on her and said "You shouldn't trust me." It was "Awww" worthy.)

(If you get IMed by a BeigeDoctor, that would be me. *grins*) Hah! XD ...The Doctor gives her a stern look but nods discreetly, grateful for the suggestion.

(*grins* That's wonderful! ...Awww. I wish they'd had more screentime together.)

(Noted! ^_^ I have class (eeeewww) but I'll be on by 3:30 CDT. *beam*) I know. I'm positively wicked. :D Nyssa gives a pouty look and silently insists a sedative is a nonviolent measure and worked on me rather well thankyouverymuch.

(They should've. Alas. I've been accepted, just waiting for the invite. I'll post an intro soonish. Keep an eye out.)
