[ The dream tonight is a rather empty one, compared to the brilliant things that people could find themselves in. A simple beach surrounded by mountains, clear blue skies and a deep blue lake, and a small picnic area set to the side. The moon can be seen, despite it being day, rippling in the water. By the waterfront is an old station wagon, and of course the Doctor. He stands with his hands in his pockets, staring out over the restless waters, with his back to the dreamer.

He seems older than normal. He doesn't look a day older, but his shoulders are sagged and his head held as if he were carrying burdens upon burdens of the universe - similar to Atlas. With a deep sigh, he tilts his head back and looks up at the sky. ]



(ooc: This is Future!Eleven for the time event! As explained in the ooc post, it means this is the Eleven we see from the beginning of Impossible Astronaut as opposed to the Eleven from The Doctor's Wife. Your character doesn't need to be affected by the event to tag him, but Eleven will be acting as if he has known your character for nearly two hundred years~ )

[ He glances over his shoulder and smiles at her. ]

Christine.

[hypospraying]

[She smiles back and comes up beside him.]

Your dream, I take it?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Yes. Bit different from normal, isn't it?

[hypospraying]

Sure is. But it's nice to see the sun again. [She tilts her face up towards it.] Is this a place you've been before?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

No. It's a place I'm going to be going to soon.

[hypospraying]

Looking for some isolation? [She turns in a small circle, taking in the surrounding landscape.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

If only it were that.

[hypospraying]

Then why are you coming out here?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

To say goodbye. [ Because, he doesn't want to tell her he's going to die. ]

[hypospraying]

Oh, really? Kind of a somber spot; it's kind of fitting. So lonely and isolated out here.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

It makes it somewhat fitting, don't you think?

[hypospraying]

Yeah, definitely. You're probably not looking forward to having to say goodbye, huh?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Not at all. It means having to say goodbye to you all as well. The people in my dreams.

[hypospraying]

Why wouldn't you see any of us again?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ The Doctor gives her a sad smile. ]

[hypospraying]

Is... is this something you can't tell me?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

I've been running all my life, Christine. Soon, it'll be time for me to stop.

[hypospraying]

I don't understand. Running from who?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Everything.

[hypospraying]

Sounds like you're a fugitive.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

I was a renengade.

[hypospraying]

Mmm, that's a better way of putting it. Renegade sounds noble.

[She studies him for a second.] So you stop running. What happens then?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

I die.

[hypospraying]

You-- you die? But why?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

If nothing ended then nothing would begin.
