[ 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~ )

One hundred and fifty-three years for me. What about you?

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

Nine hundred and thirty one years.

[ A beat. ]

Has it truly only been that long for you?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ He smiles gently, reaching up and tapping her nose. ]

Gallifreyan years are longer than Earth years, Serenity. Besides. Time travel.

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

It seems to matter how old I get, I will never get used to the idea of time traveling.

[ There's an overdramatic sigh that escapes her lips. She then rubs her nose as if the gesture is foreign to her. ]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

That's only because your people never time traveled properly and often.

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

Not every species were meant to time travel. You of all people should know that.

[ Have a playful poke in the arm, Doctor. ]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

That takes all the fun out of it!

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

That's because your idea of fun involves traveling to places like Spaceship Japan, the 1300's or that one planet with all the mini teddy bear creatures and that's on a slow adventure.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Oi! You liked the teddy bears.

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

I never said I didn't. My only complaint was when they threatened to cut off my hair to use as rope for traps.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Well, we saved your hair in the end.

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

Which I do appreciate. It might have grown back, but a woman's looks are a large part of her pride.

[ She leans over and lightly bumps her arm against his. ]

You would not have wanted to be around me if my hair had been suddenly cut short, my dear friend.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Now, that is a lie. A very big old silly lie. [ He reaches down and gently takes her hand in his. ]

/CHOOSES THE RIGHT ICON THIS TIME. C/////C

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

[ She squeezes his hand in return. ] I wouldn't lie about my wailing abilities in the past~

:333

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

I'd always want to be around you. You're a very close friend, Serenity.

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

Then might I ask a question, Doctor?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

This place.. what is its meaning to you?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ A frown crosses his features. ] It's where I'll die.

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

Where you'll.. [ Her hand tightens up around his and her face is pensive. ] ... why here? Why now?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Not now. I still have some time left.

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

How much time?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

That all depends... it's very relative. The best answer would be "enough."

[timelessmoon.livejournal.com]

Enough time... to do what?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

The things that I have left to do. The people I need to see.
