[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.]

Comments

[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.

[bit_impossible]

Oh yes.

[oliverplus]

[teasing] So how's all that getting through?

[bit_impossible]

Erm...[mumbles something about his shields must've been weakened due to things on the ship.]

[oliverplus]

[snickers] So, got any ideas mixed in all those thoughts of yours? Other than tea, I mean.

[bit_impossible]

Oh, I'm sure there's a few... [he frowns upon catching sight of the thought bubble containing the chains.]

[oliverplus]

[Oliver's watching that one, too] I thought handcuffs were the plan?

[bit_impossible]

[pretends he didn't hear that] Hmm? What about handcuffs now?

[oliverplus]

[Oliver's thought bubble is now mirroring those chains] You mean, what about the captain.

[bit_impossible]

Oh, well...different mode of tying him down. For questioning, you know. [purposefully thinks of things like ropes and other restraints to cover up the chains.]

[oliverplus]

[Oliver now has a new thought bubble, showing a very evasive-looking Doctor. he's really starting to wonder about those chains, so that bubble remains] Oh...okay. [his thoughts don't believe you, Doctor!]

[bit_impossible]

Stop that. [have a frowny faced thought bubble.]

[oliverplus]

[have a question mark bubble!] Stop what? [glances up, but he only sees the question mark now]

[bit_impossible]

[he covers his face for a moment, a new thought bubble mimicking the one of him that Oliver just had.] Never mind.

[oliverplus]

[he's not sure if that might be confirmation of his suspicions, which results in the evasive-looking Doctor thought bubble returning, this time accompanied by an equal sign and a green check mark] Uh...if I'm thinking about you, Doctor, it's because we're talking.

[bit_impossible]

[he arches an eyebrow] So I'm a green check mark then, am I?

[oliverplus]

[raises an eyebrow back] You're what?

[bit_impossible]

According to your thoughts, I'm a green check mark. [points above his own head, a thought bubble mimicking Oliver's appearing above his head.]

[oliverplus]

[blinks] What's that supposed to mean?

[bit_impossible]

You tell me! You're the one who thought of it.

[oliverplus]

Well, I don't know! [scratches his head, seeing a mini Doctor carrying around a green check mark now]

[bit_impossible]

[laughs, amused at the image in Oliver's thought bubble.] Suit yourself, Ollie.

[oliverplus]

[looks up, wanting to know what's so funny, and he laughs at the sight] I guess that's it's way of saying it doesn't make any sense...
