[Permavoice - Screened from all known baddies/The Organization/Paixao natives]

[his voice is quiet, his tone still, but despite this, the anger is quite obvious by the way his words tremble slightly. He takes a deep, slightly shuddering breath before he speaks]

I assume that most of you have seen the new information that's come to light. I'm not sure when this started, or exactly why this started, but one thing is inescapably clear: this all needs to stop. All of this. The experiments, the disappearances, the arrests. All of it. And we need to stop it ourselves. I'm sure some of you already know what I'm going to suggest, and some of you might already be ready to suggest it yourselves. Maybe some of you did, before I got here.

We need to stand together. We need to be strong enough and brave enough to weather the storm that's ahead of us. The longer we stand idle, the longer this goes on, and the more people get hurt - and I, for one, am not willing to let this slide. We have to gather together, and I think you all know exactly what I'm talking about.

Oh, I'm angry. I've never done that before, not as this me. I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do now, or what's going to happen. [a shaky laugh emerges]

Anyway, who's with me? We can have meetings and get into group hugs and everything. [despite the lightness of his words, it's clear he's deadly serious about gathering an army, even though he - barely - refrains from saying it]

[a bit bashful] Would you... like one?

[at that, he'll just clear his throat and pretend he didn't hear that]

Good heavens, are you asking me to marry you, Thief?

Unless I locate some sort of harlot... ( she's apparently thinking about that one, l-lol, not that there's harlots lingering about Paixao )

[in a rush] Am I asking? Do you want me to be asking? Because I could be asking, if you want. Or not asking, if you don't. [ALL OF THE AWKWARD]

What? No! You could, er, ask people who know about that sort of thing.

If I want? If I want? Do you not want? I certainly can't be morally alright with forcing you into some sort of marriage, mostly because I am lacking a shotgun for those ones I've heard of happening on earth.

Perhaps I do want to marry you, perhaps not. After all I've only just come across this flesh body, I've barely managed to do anything with it such as meet new people and all that. Don't women typically explore other blokes before settling down?

Then again we've been together for so long. Oh this is an interesting subject to chatter about, isn't it?

You think that people would go for that kind of questioning? Interesting... ( mulling it over ) Maybe I will!

Well, yes, I want to; I always did sort of think of you as the wife, anyway. You wouldn't be forcing, me, you know; I'm the one who asked. Well, sort of, if you want it to be asking.

[oh god why] Sometimes, yes. Sometimes not.

Er, yes. It's definitely interesting.

Tell you what, maybe you should go and ask Urd; she seems to have a good handle on this sort of thing. Mind you, stay away from her love potions.

Who would you invite to a wedding for you and I? ( a beat ) I think I might like to invite Indigo. ( aka Sky Smith )

Urd? What an odd name.
Love potions? Well, isn't that curious. And... Have you used one of those?

Would we invite my younger self? Jenny, definitely. Donna and Rose, too, if they want.

Urd! You know, the Norn of the past in Norse mythology. Nice woman, tends to get a bit enthusiastic about dates. And no, I haven't, but I know someone who did.

Oh! I must meet your other form, face-to-face. If I recall, that version of you was terribly handsome. Jenny would be nice, I like her. She seems a deliciously wicked daughter to have.

Ah yes, Norse mythology. I do have to appreciate the creativity of a love potion. Well! Perhaps I will talk to her.

I was handsome, wasn't I? Still am now, you know. [cheeky~]

Jenny's brilliant! Actually, she's coming over to dinner. I'd like you two to meet.

Good! Tell her I said hello when you do, won't you?

Oh, terribly sorry, I meant to say handsome-er. ( sob, she's just messing with him now )

I would be thrilled to meet her, she is an interesting form of Time Lady.

Yes yes, fine.
So, do tell me, the person who used the love potion — was it on you?

Oi!

You two can get acquainted while I'm making dinner, then!

No, it was... [trails off, snickering]

Him and his brainy spectacles.

That would be lovely, especially if I am to be her stepmother.

...it what whom? You know I can't exactly read your mind the way I used to. You'll have to actually speak up!

I liked my brainy specs! I sort of miss them, sometimes.

Stepmother? Well, yes, I suppose. It's not like she came form anyone but me.

It was Vyers. [brb, cracking up]

Nonsense, you look intelligent without them.

Still! If you're marrying me, that would make her my stepdaughter in a sense, since she is your daughter, after all.

Vyers? I'm not familiar with who that is. Did something interesting happen with the potion?

Oh, thank you!

Well, only if you want. To marry me, I mean. She's been a brilliant daughter.

You'd love him. Great comedian, though I'm not sure he realizes it. He doesn't think much of popcorn being nibbled on during conversations, though. And... well, I'm not at liberty to say. I might get him in trouble with his wife. [so cheeky]

Thief, darling, who wouldn't want to marry you?

Popcorn? Popcorn! That's a food I should look into trying, I think. Ah— is that so? Oh dear, something particularly nasty must have happened. But, it sounds intriguing. Maybe I should ask her for one of her concoctions. ( a beat ) It might help with my research.

Queen Elizabeth the First? Well, again. [a little guiltily] Can't say I blame her, really. [oh wait she said yes] Really? Well... good! Brilliant!

I can teach you how to make it later, if you like.

Well, from what I heard, it all turned out alright, in the end. [oh god what] Research? ... What research?

She got over it. Eventually. ( sort of ~~maybe not~~ ) But yes, excellent. I shall marry you!

Yes alright. That could prove handy, it would help for me to know how make simple things.

( all the scoffing ) ...we just discussed that. I'll speak with Urd about it and then acquire a potion to see what comes of it's use.

[guiltily] Yeah. Eventually.

Fantastic! Oh, wait, I almost sounded like my old self for a moment. But it really is fantastic! [GLEE]

Oh. Right. Yes. That. [nervous throat-clearing goes here]

...oh, the you with no hair! Yes, I liked that version as well. ( brief pause ) Actually I like all versions of you, to be honest.

It could be interesting!

I barely even got out, as that version. I think I did just fine, though.

Good. Interesting's good. [cough]

You've done very well in all your varieties of self, Doctor.

Good? I should think so, otherwise interesting in and of itself would then, well, would cease to be interesting.

Really? I dunno about some of them.

Oh, right. Yes, we wouldn't want that. [once again with the awkward]

You've always come round.

Judging by your tone, I would say, that this line of conversation is bothersome to you, Thief.

Well, yeah. I suppose I have.

Bothersome! No, it's not bothersome. It's just... [flustered] unexpected.
