[the extremely happy and carefree disposition that's 'plagued' him has finally worn away, and he's thinking clearly now. so clearly in fact, he's wandering deeper into the forest and uses the excuse of having more of the planet to explore to keep himself from running into anyone else.]

[the sphere hovers a good distance in front of him and he either doesn't notice that it's on or doesn't care to acknowledge it. gone is the smile that made his cheeks ache. his face is blank, but his eyes tell a different story. after a few long moments of walking, he finally looks up. he's done deciding what he should say.]

Ollie, Lara, everyone I talked to, just forget what I said since that sun came out. None of that's important now, so just forget it. [points a finger at the hologram screen] I mean it.

[he looks away from the sphere, muttering] Well...there are some things I do still mean. Abel, I will write that letter for you. I meant every word, especially to you, Amaterasu.

But Rangiku...I--[he falters for a brief second.] I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I couldn't help you or even think about wanting to help you in the state of mind I was in.



Despite everything that happened...I want that feeling back.




[ooc: opting out of the genderswap. he'll need the laugh for later!]

Doctor, I... [falters, swallowing hard] I'll never mention any of it.

[bit_impossible]

Thank you Ollie. You weren't supposed to learn that, but I can't exactly take it back, can I? [he's lying--of course he can, but he doesn't ever want to resort to that again.]

[oliverplus]

[shakes his head] I...shouldn't have asked. I didn't mean... [sighs, burying his face in his hands for a moment, frustrated] Why didn't I know!?

[sighs, taking a deep breath] Look, just...nothing's changed. Okay? Really.

[bit_impossible]

No, I should've known something was wrong. Noticed it a bit myself, but I didn't want to. Lara was right. She and a few others had been right about that pollen the entire time.

It's not your fault. Don't kick yourself, alright? I'm sure I shouldn't have asked about your family. You must've had your reasons for not telling me about them.

[oliverplus]

I did know something was wrong, Doctor. Lara told me--got me to believe her. But I didn't even care! It was like...I couldn't think through anything.

[shakes his head] I wouldn't've minded telling you that. Don't worry about it.

Spiritually speaking;

[goldenpine.livejournal.com]

I'd say don't worry about it, since people seem to have regained some of their senses, but Tyki's dangerous.

It's not my right to judge the living. I do anyway, [ and there's a flippant hand gesture ] but that's because I'm sensitive to whoever's idiotic and perverted. Years of practice on the Shinigami's side shows you how some things don't change after death.

Or that's what I'd tell you if I were in gigai.

His Time Lord senses are tingling!

[bit_impossible]

[he freezes, sensing...something. can't figure out what just yet. he doesn't exactly hear what she says, but he knows he's not alone.]

Hello? [glances around] Who's there?

Du-du-du~!

[goldenpine.livejournal.com]

[ Have a ghostly hug, Doctor. She can effect the physical world, even if she's not a visible part of it. ]

That should be clear enough.

[bit_impossible]

[he shuts his eyes as he feels the embrace. there wasn't any Spiridons on this planet--he would've met them by now--so there's only one clear answer about who is touching him.]

I'm sorry...

[goldenpine.livejournal.com]

[ Eyebrow quirk on her behalf, and she lightly smacks him upside the head.

No one was getting away with an apology for her own stupidity on her watch. ]

[canniballistic.livejournal.com]

[A very female Abel is doing her best to smile convincingly, even if it's more than a little discomfiting to see such an ordinarily cheerful fellow looking like that.]

Oh, Doctor, you don't have to do that. If I lose my job, it won't be because I didn't have the right people vouching for me.

[bit_impossible]

[smiles slightly] But I don't mind.

[blinks] Hang on. Were you...always like that?

[canniballistic.livejournal.com]

But you shouldn't have to go out of your way for me. I'm not sure it would even be worth the trouble.

[She pulls up the collar of her suddenly too big uniform, hunching her shoulders.] Ah, like what?

[bit_impossible]

To write a letter? It'd be no trouble! Just don't let me forget about it in all this excitement of ours.

Ahh, well... [rubs the back of his head] Like a girl, to be frank.

[canniballistic.livejournal.com]

If you're sure? Uh, I'll try not to.

Is that a joke, Doctor? I'm not sure I understand.

[xxlaracroftxx.livejournal.com]

Consider it all forgotten Doctor.

[bit_impossible]

[sighs] Thank you, Lara. You tried to warn me, but well...I frankly didn't want to hear it!

[xxlaracroftxx.livejournal.com]

You and everyone else it seemed. Worry not, Doctor.

[bit_impossible]

[smiles slightly and changes the subject]

So! How are you feeling now?

[xxlaracroftxx.livejournal.com]

Myself, thankfully. And still female. The last thing I want right now is to spontaneously switch genders...

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

You got hit pretty bad by the pollen, huh?

[bit_impossible]

Ohhhhh, like a ton of bricks. Well, maybe half a ton, give or take a brick or two.

How about yourself? How'd you fare in our lovely planet's moment of floral discharge?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

I got hit, but not so bad enough that I didn't click there was something weird going on. Still let slip a few things that I probably shouldn't have, though.

[bit_impossible]

One of the more fortunate ones then. I see.

But let me ask, what kind of things? Personal details about your history? Secret desires? Frank opinion about someone's hair or clothing choice you wouldn't voice otherwise?

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Mostly the first one.
