Day 21. | Video

[ The feed snaps on to show the Doctor! He's looking a little stiff today but no one mind that. ]

Am I really doing this? [ He asks himself just briefly before sitting up a little straighter in frame.

Hullo Everyone! I'm the Doctor and It's come to my attention I was nominated for the train's council and I am very flattered but I have to be honest-politics is not my favorite thing-I could go into why but I'm hoping all those reasons don't apply here. So what why not?

So this is me-throwing my hat-probably a fez-fezzes are cool-into the ring for Council Member.

As for why you should vote for me well.. I have about 1600 years worth of experience traveling through Time and Space. I have seen quite a lot and have experience in helping all sorts of species, I can speak any language-well, for the most part-and I'm familiar with most cultures. I won't say all because even I'm still learning but that's also an important bit, I think. Being able to admit you don't know everything.

Some people who've met me will probably tell you I do actually know everything but those that know me better know the truth.

Still interested in getting to know you all-still happy to take over as a primary school teacher here and to volunteer my time to the medic car if needed-I'm also quite a good listener should anyone want to just vent. My door is always open.

Pleased to meet you, Glorfindel. [ He greets with a smile. He listens to the other man's questions and is please to see he's not being mistaken for human. Again. ]

Yes-it's my name. I'm a Timelord-I'm the last of my kind, actually but I like to think I do them proud. Basically-it's our job to keep history going in the right direction. Not as easy as it might sound-especially now. I'm not usually one for politics, as a I stated. Even back on my home planet but if I can lend a hand. [ He shrugs. ] I will.

[laurefindil]

I am sorry your Race has left you behind. It is commendable that you are keeping up their work. How does one keep history going in the right direction?

[usernamesarecool]

Well, that's just the life of a Timelord. [ He shrugs like it doesn't greatly affect him that he's the last one. ]

Well, you just make sure that things in time that are always supposed to happen-do happen. I'm particularly sensitive to those events so it's easy for me to pick them out. Although it has happened on a occasion that things don't pan out exactly how they're written in the history books-but who's keeping score, eh?

[ You know, aside from well, him. ]

[laurefindil]

[Glorfindel laughs] I am rather sensitive myself, but my hints are usually in the form of a prophecy or vision. Alas, I live my life quite linearly.

Someone needs to keep score though. Otherwise...if people do not remember the Truth, then Lies become the Truth and events tend to repeat themselves.

[usernamesarecool]

That I can't do-but I do have the ability to remember timelines that technically didn't happen-or happened in a parallel universe-it's all very complicated.


Well yes, you might have a point there but I can't be around to correct them all the time. I'm only 1800. Besides, you know humans, they only believe what they want-and very rarely is that actually the truth.

[laurefindil]

It sounds quite complicated. How do you keep them straight?

[Glorfindel chuckles.] I do know humans. But you still have Time, it seems. When I was your age, we were in the midst of the first war with Sauron, forging the First Alliance. Which ended when a human chose to keep the Ring rather than destroy it. [He sighs.]
