the Return of the Doctor

[nevermindtherunning]

Who: the Doctor, Mina, Donna
Where: on the docks
When: Late night of Day 82/early morning of 83
What: The Doctor returns back after his escape attempt, only he's not exactly the same Doctor Kore may remember.
Warning: language, mental instability


When a Time Lord is created, since no actual birth is given, the first sense they acquire, or at least notice, is time followed by sound, then vision. I am a sentient being. The first thought crossed the Doctor's mind, I walk through eternity.

Waves crashed against the shore, and dark eyes blink open. His vision is blurry as he pushes up on his arms, trying to push himself in a sitting position. He's aware of a string of drool, begging the question of how long had he been there with his mouth open, as he raises his hand to wipe it away. And that's when the first impulse of the most intense headache he could recall feeling strikes him. It catches him completely off guard and physically startles him, causing him to lose his balance in the process and slip off the dock into the ocean.

Engulfed by the waves, he struggles, fighting to figure out what's up from down, and shortly afterwards his respiratory bypass kicks in just in time for him to slam into the adjacent dock where he manages to pull himself up, roll over to his side and out of the way from fear of falling off again, and resigns himself for the night. His body felt heavy, mind clouded, everything slowed down as if he had been drugged, which was a very real possibility.

As was so often the case, bored and thrumming from the silence of an empty house, Mina had taken to the docks that evening. She swam between pylons, her white body flashing silver in the moonlight. And when she felt some measure of peace, she retired to the woods nearby to dress herself again.

The night was nothing out of the ordinary, all things considered, and she intended to take a walk around the clinic before returning home. But a noise from behind her caught her attention.

Immediately, she pulled one of her pistols. Since arriving in Cape Kore, she'd only fired three times and she wasn't in the mood to waste bullets, but an instinct was an instinct. Besides, who would be smart enough to call her bluff?

It was a good question. One she intended to answer.

Quietly, still barefoot, she crept forward, moving back to the dock. "My kingdom for a Centurion," she muttered to herself. She was anxious to beat the living daylights out of something.

"I don't want to remember." He commented as he leaned back, raising his hips to pull down the wet garment that clinged to his skin.

"But I don't forget; never forget... but it's there, yes? Tucked away so very far away... She knew it. How did she know it? I don't just tell anyone. Who is she? We met in the wrong time... Not even in the biography section; now that would be ironic. Which name would be on the cover? Doctor 'Who'?"

He bends down, trying to unlace his shoes, which must've looked very comical given his trousers were already half off. It was all the wrong order, he determined, so much like his life.
