You're...awfully enthusiastic about Toy Story.

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

And the Muppets! And that other movie, the one with the girl and the other girl and the chap with the hair.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Oh...er...yeah, right. The guy with the hair in...that place?

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Right! Have you seen it?

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Probably? At some point? I'm kinda old myself, so...

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

How old is that?

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Technically, I'm thirty one. Overall...like spiritually, I mean...my people were here before humans were. Titans...I am...was a Titan. It's kinda complicated?

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Really? Do tell.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Well, if you like Earth that much, you probably heard of my brother, Prometheus? He gave mankind fire. My name, in my first lifetime, was Epimetheus.

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Re-e-eally?

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Yep. Anyway, I married Pandora, the gods screwed her over for something she was never responsible for, and I stood by her. Cost me my godhood and pretty much any chance at eternal rest, but...here I am. When she passed, I stayed, and when I passed, I returned to the world. I was Harry Houdini for a while, then when I died in '26, I took some time before I came back like I am now. I go by Tommy these days, Tommy Karras.

Reincarnation?

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Yep. Sorta...again, it's complicated. Souls are reincarnated. My people don't have souls, but I'm a special case.

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

I... see.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

It's...easier to understand if you know the real story about what happened to Pandora. Long story short: I gave up being a Titan god and I became an avatar of hope. Avatars don't have souls, they're animated by the virtue they carry. I'm an avatar, I have my own life and thoughts, but I also have this soul and all the memories that go with it. It's not me, not really...no more than your heart or your brain is you, it's just something inside that functions to keep you alive.

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

So, anthropomorphized wibbly-wobbly, then?

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

That's...one way of putting it.

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!

Care for a jelly baby?

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

A jelly...what?

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Candy.

[magic-fratboy.livejournal.com]

Oh! Uh...sure, yeah.

[aintnoconvict]

Cripes, you've done a lot of world-saving. I've only managed it the once, and that was with a lot of help. A lot of help.

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Really? When was that?

[aintnoconvict]

About six months back now? Maybe longer, I'm not so good at keeping track of time. Anyway, a princess had been possessed by an evil witch and was trying to bring eternal darkness to the Outer Zone. My friends and I stopped her with some help from my brain.

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

And how did your brain help?

[aintnoconvict]

It, well, the half of it that isn't in my head was running the machine she was using to lock the suns behind the moon. We were able to hook me up to it and get the numbers for the shut down sequence.

...that sounds a bit ridiculous, doesn't it?

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Not really. Android?

[aintnoconvict]

Nope, one hundred percent Ozian human. The name's Glitch, on account of the half-a-brain thing. Nice to meet you!

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Glitch, really? Brilliant to meet you, Glitch!

[aintnoconvict]

Thank you so much, Miss...erm...sorry, I'm not good with names either.

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Doctor.

[aintnoconvict]

Miss Doctor? No, doctor's a title, so there should be a name. Or do I have that backwards?

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

A little bit. Doctor is my name, you see.

[aintnoconvict]

Ah! That's an unusual name, not that I'm one to talk. I'll do my best to remember it.

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Have you ever considered nametags?

[aintnoconvict]

Nametags...huh! That's a straightforward solution, assuming folks are agreeable to it. Thank you!

[unearthlyxchild.livejournal.com]

Family: One- …one.

One what?

[eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com]

Daughter.
