The One With One Head [Video]

[Scrad is looking angry. And alone. No backpack. No Charlie. He shakes slightly as he speaks.]

I want. The rest of my body back. Right. Now.

If I don't get it, I'm gonna...

[Scrad's eyes dart to the side, and his mouth opens and closes soundlessly, before he just cuts the the feed. Charlie would know what they were gonna do, but he has no idea.]

[That was not a reaction Narvin was expecting. He's so used to one of his default communication styles being Snark that he hardly notices when he's doing it. And on Gallifrey he was surrounded by people who were fluent in Snarkese and gave as good as they got. Someone just accepting the snark is strange to him. He's not sure what to do with it.]

Why are you taking my word for it? You do recall that I don't always tell the truth, don't you?

[This is Narvin's way of saying that he didn't mean it.]

It's not like I've never heard it before. I'm stupid. I suck. I get it.
timesbureaucrat: (hey)

And I'm frequently told that I'm sneaky, slimy and treacherous with more ambition than loyalty. That doesn't make it true.

Well, I have been known to sneak from time to time. All part of the job. But the rest isn't true. [Back to the point.]

Fortunately, we live in a universe where speaking it does not make it so.
twoheadsofcabbage: (Would this face lie to you?)

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-07-12 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but that's not even...I mean, it's practically a compliment.

I thought it did. Or something.
timesbureaucrat: (stripe)

[personal profile] timesbureaucrat 2012-07-12 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
I don't take it as a compliment. Nor is it usually meant as one.

There is a hypothetical universe where words instead of mathematics are the building blocks of reality. I consider myself quite lucky that I don't live there.

...Oh.

I mean: it doesn't make you anything, but people tell you what you are because you are.
timesbureaucrat: (head tilt)

If that were true, I'd be a power-mad schemer plotting to seize control over Gallifrey, and throwing all who oppose me into the Oubliette of Eternity.

That seems like a pretty good plan.

Doesn't it?
timesbureaucrat: (contrast)

[personal profile] timesbureaucrat 2012-07-12 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Except I don't actually want to rule Gallifrey. That little point would make any effort to embark on a scheme to seize power for myself rather foolish of me.
twoheadsofcabbage: (Save us from myself.)

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-07-12 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. But if you did. Throwing people in stuff is pretty standard.
timesbureaucrat: (bluegrey)

I'd like to think that if I were a power mad tyrant I'd be a little more original.
twoheadsofcabbage: (Right you are my brother.)

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-07-13 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
You could do that too. It's not so much a time to experiment. Because there's, you know, always another power mad tyrant behind you.
