Oh.

It's the 4th tomorrow isn't it.

...

I may be unavailable for the next couple of days.

You can make up whatever you want for the drinks.

"It's a plan, then! You can call me anytime."

The Doctor lead the way to the kitchens, where Arthur could examine all the baffling and alien liquids he stored in the fridge at his leisure.

The Doctor is still harboring way too much energy, running over and

"Ooh, excellent choice. That is chronoberry cordial. Tastes like a bit of a mix between pomegranate and peaches, with just a hint of barium-147 mixed in. But that's not even the best part - they're called chronoberries because they enhance your perception of time - sometimes to the extent of seeing just a bit into the future, although those cases are very rare.

Doesn't do much for a timelord, of course, but for anyone else it can be an incredible experience!
icanbuyafez: (ha-haa. Brilliant.)

"Quite so. You're on a roll; next you'll be asking me to teach you to fly the TARDIS!"

The Doctor laughs, looking forward to Arthur's reaction to the cordial.

When Arthur drinks it, he'll find the passage of time - not slow, precisely, but become clear, as if he can see each millisecond creeping past. Looking around, he'll sense that everything is in flux; he'll be extremely aware of the endless possibilities based on the choices everyone would make, and he'll sense all those possibilities collapsing into their reality as each choice is made.

"Maybe. It would take a while, of course, but then I suppose you and I have got time to spare."

The Doctor continues to smile wildly as he sees Arthur's reaction.

"There, now you know a little about how I feel all the time! This is how I see the universe.

It's too bad we don't have anything terribly interesting to look at right now, temporally speaking."

"And who says I'm not?"

Then, much more seriously -

"Because that's who I am. My people evolved over billions of years of exposure to the time vortex, the untempered schism. I can't imagine seeing the universe any other way."
icanbuyafez: (No regrets)

The Doctor looks up at that, gazing into the distance as if he could still see it.

"They used to call it the Shining World of the Seven Systems. The sky's a burnt orange. And on the continent of Wild Endeavour, in the mountains of Solace and Solitude, there stood the Citadel of the Time Lords - enclosed in a mighty glass dome, shining under the twin suns. The oldest and most mighty race in the universe. Looking down on the galaxies below - sworn never to interfere, only to watch.

Oh, you should have seen it, that old planet - the second sun would rise in the south, and the mountains would shine. The leaves on the trees were silver. When they caught the light every morning, they lit the forest on fire. Beyond that, the mountains go on forever. Slopes of deep red grass, capped with snow. "
icanbuyafez: (contemplative; universe)

"It was more beautiful than you could imagine."

The Doctor sighs, coming out of his reverie.

"Which probably only served to cover up all the problems and the corruption."
