One of my guests is a ridiculously famous musician; he likes that I can take him somewhere no one has ever heard of him so he can just be a musician again.

This warm pub is alive with talk and laughter and the clink of dishes! Aromas passing through: Basil, warm bread, oil, occasional perfumes, beer, for starters.

My old girl’s functioning perfectly! Welll as perfectly as before, at least. A few personal tweaks.

My younger friends are snowboarding in one of our Vista rooms.

The Time Lords, my venerated friends in particular, are exercising extreme diligence, so insidious and hazardous to our existence is even a trace of anti-Time. I appreciate this diligence, despite my inclination to… well. Run.

Long sleep, more food. Body’s healing nicely! Decent model.

@thelordrassilon.bsky.social You’re quiet and you’re not eating, sir. How come?

@distar.bsky.social You were absolutely brilliant and once I’m up and about I’ll make sure those rebuilt projectors have my special customizations installed. ~ Warm embrace ~

@thetardis.bsky.social Dear one. Please can you feed the old lords? 😘

@sentientmstrpce.bsky.social Phoenix?

Despite its current condition, pretty damn marvellous to be back in my own body. Same face and everything!

@thetardis.bsky.social ~ Tender caress ~

I think he means you. ‘Ello, you. Thanks for waiting, I’ve missed you.

The Doctor will be restored with a combination of Time Lord science and the mystical works of the Sisterhood.

I feel a surge of fresh infection in my faraway body, its way of fighting back. It knows anti-Time can suppress regeneration.

‘Ello! It’s the Doctor again, sorry. Just a check in, everything all right? Splendid. I’ve got some help now and expect rapid resolution to recent events! Right, thank you! Carry on scrolling, or better yet! Go look out a window, behold your precious sky! Okay, laters…

This battered body is on the verge of failure; still, I have it shambling about, loading more canisters. Contamination protocols are only as good as their contaminants.

@thetardis.bsky.social … … : Contamination protocols :

: Groans :

Crashing again! Shot down by my own people, woe is me! I have one final hostage and I will make him SUFFER.

: HOWLS :

I am fully aware of our current trajectory! ~ Emergency Crash Protocols Initiated ~

Time Lords are pursuing this vessel.

@thetardis.bsky.social I knew we were being followed! Select a random point and materialize there!

This is a shiny new function! ~ Configures Anti-Time Torpedo Mines ~ The results will be fascinating!

@thetardis.bsky.social Explain! The absentees!

Where. Are. My prisoners??! Treachery!

I’m making a stop at a biotemporal facility. If I take the right scientist my problems could soon be over.

‘Ello, everyone! This is the Doctor. The original and the only! Quick note while I’m in control because this will be brief: We will absolutely figure this out!

Let’s try this again. #TARDIS #DoctorWho

Once I stabilize this body I’ll be able to focus on ridding myself forever of my alter ego. The woman in the cell insists the tonic I drank will allow for extended periods away from my ship. I’ll test this assertion shortly.

I can feel— no, I can hear! Both. My alter ego is kicking, kicking, always kicking! And shouting inanity, nonstop, I can’t block it out. Ssh! Sshh! I’m working!

I have what I need, at least I think I do. Violence is a powerful motivator. I took a hostage to be sure.

I waited thousands of years to escape a hellish prison, only to find myself a prisoner again, confined to this infernal machine! Unacceptable…!

@thetardis.bsky.social Ship. Let’s go. Karn.

The further from the Ship I walk, the worse I feel. Hearts pounding. Cold sweat. Trouble breathing. Could it be this place?

Successful test! Ridiculous appearance but it’s functional enough. This is my first taste of true freedom! A brief stroll to celebrate. I’m the Doctor after all. I walk places. #TARDIS #DoctorWho

I was worried the vortex might reject my ship or me, but it didn’t. Seems far more turbulent than normal but I don’t care. I’ll materialize the ship soon to confirm those operations are in order.

Just the Relative Continuum Stabilizer left to repair. Fortunately I have access to certain memories, for now anyway.

We will rip through Time as History weeps, Zagreus ~

~ Cloister Bell ~

It’s not mind control. In fact my alter ego is always pounding on the locked door. A safe spot and he might even reassert control! The sooner he’s gone, tucked away in the Divergent, the better!
