I only get drunk sometimes. Like when I have to deal with other Time Lords.

Which is quite often, come to think of it.

But really: the fact that I'm drunk right now doesn't mean I always am, or even most of the time. I'm quite frequently entirely sober, able to carry out conversations and everything. I promise.

I won't say no to the whiskey, though.

Your big stompy boots, right? Not that I'm going to get into an argument about this, but no-one is saying Daleks in general are safe to be around. But you go around claiming PPC Agents are untrustworthy and evil because of their species. Your ilk are the reason wosserface, the vampire, Selene spends so much time sitting down the bar from me nursing her drink. It's oppersecuminatism. Or something.

I dunno why I'd want to ask the Notary anything. I'm sure you've got some sort of hatemance thing going on, that'd be about par for the course around here. "Raaaar, I hate you, you're under arrest, kiss me you mad fool," that sort of thing.

Haven't been back home. Don't trust the place any more. I'll go back and see my family and look at the flowers and then the Doctor'll jump in and throw everything into E-Space or send it back to Event One or grind it up to make angry Scottish cookies or something. No point. Can't have nice things.

Need a drink. Oh, hey, lookitthat.

((I think I may sober her up before her next reply; she's getting a bit much, and I didn't actually set out to create a morose drunken Time Lady... :-/))

If (by some quirk of fate or plot) you were elected Lady President of Gallifrey, what would be your response, and (assuming you actually took up office) what would you do first?

Assuming that's meant to be 'Coruscant', are you from the Legends-verse or the Disney-verse? And does the fact that there are two Star Wars universes affect you in any way?

If it's not meant to be Coruscant, where in the multiverse is Curuscant?

Though I'm not quite sure shere you're pulling the 'racist' from. If it's about that one time ages ago about my opinion on the Daleks, well, you're right. I do despise them. If you were in my boots, you'd hate them too. Aside from that, I'm not laughably one-dimensional as you perceive me to be-- I can be two dimensional too, you know. Not that you'd believe me, though. Just thought I'd put it out there.

As for a potential relationship with the Notary, I'm sure you know by now that we don't see eye to eye. Ask her about the woman in the picture-- and get ready for an endless stream of blackmail.

Also, have you been back to Gallifrey recently? It's springtime in Arcadia and the flowers are out. Over by Yenovar Boulevard there's this wonderful garden and it's filled with everblossoms and asgores. It's quite nice-- you should definitely visit.

((I would do that, but I feel there hasn't been enough interaction between Morgan and Emiran. Please excuse my selfishness :P))

I even got a half-salary reminding me that mine can backfire even when i'm not uisng it.

You're a magic user, you should know that.

Although if I had to guess, I'd say this: Is there any sort o' thing in your universe that negates magic? Like, completely prevents you from using it, but not weakening you personally? Imagine that.

I'm also curious to know if your powers can blow up at your face in any way, and if it would affect people around you. Like you said, demons are bad news whatever the universe.

I thought Algie'd been moping a bit lately. Just assumed he'd been to see his wife again or something, and you didn't hear that from me.

Actually, yeah, he did explain that, now that I think about it. Something about how his magic works because everything has a spirit and nothing in your home continuum swore an oath to something or other, I don't remember the details, that's what he's for. Still. At least you've got some free books out of it, eh cob?

Hope to see you again soon. You're pretty great.

And I'm not lookin' forward to it... Luckily, although part-demon, I do posses a soul and therefore Heaven sees me as a human being. That means no Shadowhunters to hunt for me...except those really conservative ones.

But, to answer your question, love, you can't exorcise me, holy water also doesn't work...anythin' else I forgot?

Just in time for a ballistic sandwich to catch him full in the face and bowl him over backwards. He bounced back manfully, though, and in a credit to his almost-certainly-not-real German heritage, he scraped it off on a water glass (which took him longer than he cared to admit), flicked through his movepool, selected Waterfall, Aqua Jet, Spikes, and Supersonic, and entered the fray with a screaming battle cry.

Which was almost immediately silenced by yet another ballistic sandwich, but it was a cheese ploughman's with mango chutney so he didn't really mind.

I'll consider it. I have a few mission reports to catch up on and file, they're beginning to accumulate somehow.

As for the lessons, they're as intriguing and educational as ever. It's a shame it's all incompatible with my home universe.

As of half a minute ago, a large fight was sparked in the HQ cafeteria.

Roughly a minute or two before that, a woman wearing coveralls slammed into the room, a young assassin freaked out about government conspiracies (even in the PPC you can't escape those, it seems) and attacked the newcomer, and the assassin was knocked down with ease with a broom of all things.

Afterwards, the newcomer issued a challenge to the whole cafeteria and for a word, hell broke loose rather quickly, because that's just how things roll on some days that end with 'y'. Especially because someone— who?— yelled out "Everyone attack!".

Unfortunately the woman disappeared rather quickly into the now roiling crowd, so that's a bit of a failure mode.

You're already here, so.

Anyone up for fighting?

Sometimes, it's just fun to RP a brawl, which is exactly what is going on here!

A few rules to lay down for this one:

• You've got to have permission this time.
• No godmoding— this means controlling other people's characters without their permission or agreement as to what happens next. Don't assume what a character's reaction will be to something your characters do.
• No, you can't actually track the woman who sparked the whole incident off. There are reasons. Promise.
• This is a good, lighthearted fun brawl. Please don't kill anyone off.
• If your characters wouldn't actually be fighting at all, well, they could always be there spectating or trying to place bets.

Wait a minute, you're part demon? How close are your ties with this 'side of the family'? Closer that you would like I guess, since it seems you're depending on this lineage for your powers. How dangerous does it make them?

And you do have a bit of a need for the alcohol, don't you?

How're you doing? Snubbed any interesting species lately? I know a few you could persecute unreasonably without fear of starting a minor war if you're interested.

I may be drunk, but I'm not drunk enough to gossip about my colleagulants with you. Except the Notary, because seriously, the Notary. Have you met her? She's an awful person. I thought she was misunderstood, but NOPE. She's just awful.

Kind of like you. You should get together. She could claim Time Lords are innately superior to someone, you could claim the same someone is irredeemably evil, and then you could make little bigoted babies together. It's be like reality TV, but even worse.

Wait, HQ doesn't have a reality TV show yet. I should talk to the folks at Nutmeg...

((She's drunk, and she's angry at the Notary over this, and to my memory she's not had much contact with the Guardsman since the initial 'all Daleks must be persecuted whatever their circumstances' conversation. If you want actual answers, ask OOC and she'll be happy to give them. ^_~))

Can you conjure a corporeal Patronus, and if so, what form does it take?

What's it like in continuums without magic? I'm a D&D-verse sorcerer, magic is in my blood. Being without it is... not something I'm looking forward to, to say the least. Any advice?

I don't think I'm drunk enough for that question to make sense. Gimme a minute.

Right, I think I've got this. HQ is an utter nightmare, temporally speaking. The one time I've tried to make a point-to-point TARDIS flight in here, I ended up six years in the past. Even flights out aren't always safe - this one time, we got dumped in an alternate universe where everyone was a Time Lord. Can you imagine, an entire PPC filled with Time Lords? It was horrible. They made me drink tea.

I don't know that any of my idi- colleagues have tried to deliberately time-travel within HQ. It's possible anyone who did has wiped themselves from history; the original Continuity Council proposal included an Opal President and the Onyx Monitor as a separate position, so there's two candidates for you right away. I might be a bit alarmist about this, but I've had my own experience with erased timelines. I wouldn't try to induce one on purpose.

Unless the Notary's listening. In which case, Spinel Promotor, can you pop back to Event One and pick up my coat for me? I think I left it there.

For that matter, you don't need a TARDIS to time-travel in HQ, which might be what you were getting at. It seems like every time there's a party someone from the past drops in. Perhaps alcohol, in addition to being the foundation of economics, also exerts a temporitational field on local space...?

Ah. Now I'm too drunk for this question.

So, what's it like existing only in a hypothetical sense?
I think you can forgive my curiosity, it's not exactly a state of being I'm overly familiar with.

Not much of a question, buuuuuut... Rudi's later? His nibs is buying, and he's itching to show off some of his magic. How is that going, by the by?

Though my old pistol is as accurate as may be expected, I'm sure you understand that it is not suitable for every continuum. Why, just last week my partner and I were obliged to exterminate a Suvian in the feudal Japan of the Tales of the Otori, and a flintlock would have been entirely anachronistic. For occasions where melee combat is unavoidable, I have adopted a tactic from someone of whom I have heard many great things and taken to carrying a ball-peen hammer with me; our cover in the field is so often as a workman or artisan of some kind that such a weapon is perfectly innocuous. However, in science-fiction continua, I have been obliged to raid the Commander's gun cabinet, and have developed a particular affinity for the Farscape continuum's pulse weaponry - in particular the mini pulse pistol, a weapon I consider most suitable for covert carrying and use; in modern-dress continua, I favour the cheap and profligate Zastava M70, a pistol of Czech manufacture, as 9mm hardball is still more than enough to give the common-or-garden Suvian lacking in body armour a quite exceptionally bad day.

I trust this is a full answer to your question, and hope that I have not rambled and taken up too much of your time.

DID YOU KNOW THAT I'M TECHNICALLY NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE FASTER THAN 16KM/H?
I'VE BLOODY BROKEN THAT ONE A FEW TIMES, LET ME TELL YOU.

*SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, I'M NOT AUTHORISED TO WRITE IN ANYTHING ELSE, AND I DON'T WANT MY SELF-DIAGNOSTICS TO GET ON ME.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO HELP WITH LEGIBILITY, BUT IT JUST LOOKS LIKE I'M SCREAMING.

I distinctly recall once causing a total gravitational breakdown.
For a good fifteen or so metres away, we had quills and parchments floating around like they thought they were in the sea!
Not a single newton of gravity, they told me.
A remarkable achievement, though it lost its touch somewhat when they made me clean up the results.
