[When the sphere pops on, he doesn't notice that it has since he's very much lost in his own thoughts. For all of the control he has over those mental shields of his, a few stray thoughts still manage to slip through, though, for a mind as great and vast as his, a few is more like a stream flowing steadily from his head, gathering above him like a swarm of angry bees about to descend upon whatever has earned their ire. Well, minus the noise and the potential for a lot of stinging, of course.

Ever wonder just what goes on in a Time Lord's mind? Unfortunately, some of the images contained within the thought bubbles are of complicated Gallifreyan symbols only he and the TARDIS can understand, but have another look and you'll see the ever constant presence of the blue police box as well as the TARDIS in her Time Lady form in several of the bubbles, and amongst those are three black holes, three different versions of the dead Ganymede, an alive Ganymede and Orion in separate bubbles, a cup of tea which turns into a tea kettle because he definitely feels like more than one. And actually, he gets up from where he's been sitting in the starboard observatory on level 14, and begins to head toward one of the fine restaurants there to have himself a cuppa. While he walks, more bubbles containing the number three, snatches of the warning on level three in different ones, a banana, and his sonic screwdriver pop up along with the rest.

Of course, now that he's just entering the restaurant--he only went to the nearest one, a pretty little affair with white linens and flowers everywhere--different items of food begin to appear above his head--along with a yo-yo, that old ridiculously long scarf of his, and a windmill--that quickly cover up the more gruesome images from his nightmare and some of the ones still floating above his head. The captain is ever present, and if one looked even closer, you might catch the one stray thought containing some thick chains, though for what purpose, only he knows.

As he goes to have a seat, he happens to catch a glimpse of himself in a convenient decorative mirror and he groans seeing the veritable storm of thought bubbles above his head.]

Not again... This is getting to be very damned intrusive.

[Starts to make a mental note to do some more mind training but stops--though not before another thought bubble appears containing a notepad and a pen scribbling away. He sees that in the mirror as well and begins to grumble under his breath, quite annoyed with himself.]

[stares] How many things can you think about at the same time? [his own thought bubble is a small image of the Doctor with lots of bubbles above his head]

[bit_impossible]

More than this. [points above his head]

[oliverplus]

How can there be more? [question marks appear above his head now]

[bit_impossible]

Believe it or not, I have managed to keep some thoughts to myself.

[oliverplus]

Ohh, Time Lord mind stuff, then.

[At least Tieria's multiple thoughts can be summed up in one image at a time. The sheer number over the Doctor's head is bordering on the rediculous.]

Busy?

[bit_impossible]

Hmm? No, not really... [believe it or not, that's about normal for him] Waiting for my tea to arrive.

[by-my-will.livejournal.com]

Do you normally think of so many different things?

[To Tieria, they all look mostly unrelated.]

[bit_impossible]

I do, actually. Saves time thinking of multiple things at once.

[heresthebasics.livejournal.com]

You've got a lot going on in your head, Doc. [Isshin's thought bubbles are all over the place. One shows a simple question mark, while the others show a child and an image of the Captain.]

[bit_impossible]

Ohhhhh, you have no idea, Isshin. [pauses, looking in the mirror again] Well. Maybe you do.

But how about you? Who's the child?

[heresthebasics.livejournal.com]

What kid? [He looks up and notices the thought bubble with a child in it.] Damn. [Immediately he tries to fluff it out of existence]

Guess you got me. Children actually. I have three of them back home. When you have kids, they're never really out of mind.

[bit_impossible]

No, I suppose not. [though, that goes for grandchildren as well, but he keeps her image to himself.]

Though, I'm curious. You seemed almost perturbed to admit that you do have children. Is it really that much of a secret?

[sos-chorus.livejournal.com]

Does he attract these things or something? What is he? The Queen Bee of these things or something? [What do you know, a swarm of bees is in his bubble.]

At least it's not showing more than the basics?

[bit_impossible]

[arches an eyebrow at that bubble of yours, Kyon.]

If you can call that the basics, sure. I highly doubt it would show the entire sequence of pi. [and what do you know, it can't. it only shows "3.14159265" before getting cut off.]

[sos-chorus.livejournal.com]

[His bubbles like to take his monologues out of context]

Well, I can't understand any of it?

I don't think I could even calculate pi without a calculator. [Ex: An actual pie has appeared in his bubble now!]

[bit_impossible]

Pi, pie, or what I'm thinking? [smiles teasingly.]

[crossedassassin.livejournal.com]

[Oh look it's an amused Loki. With a funny bubble. ]

You have something to hide?

[bit_impossible]

Me? Nah. Just a lot on my mind. [smiles, amused at Loki's own little thought bubble.]

[crossedassassin.livejournal.com]

[ aka he doubts it.]

[bit_impossible]

[frowns.] I'd say if anything, I've got nothing to hide since you can see just about everything I'm thinking. [which is a partial lie, but still.]

[shoutsforearth.livejournal.com]

[Donna's thought bubble is quite simply three dots. WTF, Spaceman, WTF.]

Do your thoughts ever stop?! I'm getting tired just looking at them!

[bit_impossible]

Me stop thinking? Nah, that's not likely to happen!

[shoutsforearth.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, for a moment I forgot who I was talking to. How can you think about so many things at once? No wonder I have trouble keeping up half the time!

[bit_impossible]

Well, you know how we've talked about multi-tasking?
