[ There's a good while of silence, aside from the rustle of a paper, like a page being turned. ]

Oh, yes, right! Hello! How do I do one of these voicemails things again?

[ Another bit of silence, and then he clears his throat. ]

You've reached the Doctor - the eleventh, to be exact. Leave a message and I'll get back to you, promise!

[There's a bit of silence at the beginning of this. Then a deep breath.]

I've got some words for you when you come back, you idiot. [Yep, this is one upset TARDIS, calling you while you're dead.] You're not allowed to up and die - at any point - whether I'm here or not.

When you get back - and you are coming back - you best ring me or I'll be even more cross than I already am.

[ After sending off his little hello post he checks his messages and.

Sorry, what were you saying? He can't hear you over his EXCITEMENT AND JOY!! ]

Sexy! You're back!

[sexyoldgirl]

[Oh no, no distracting her from the real issue here.]

Yes and just in time to find three Doctors at the bottom of a bottle along with plenty of strays joining them as well.

[comeonthensexy]

...

...




Find them where?

[sexyoldgirl]

Drinking alcohol. At some pub.

[comeonthensexy]

Drinking-- Oh. But... They... Whose brilliant idea was that?

[sexyoldgirl]

I've no idea. I turned up in the middle of it when they were incapable of walking about without stumbling.

[Of course she went to look after them.]

Afterwards I took every single one of them to your condo, you stupid man.

[Okay yes, still feeling a bit tantrum-y.]

[comeonthensexy]

It wasn't stupid. It was me or Jamie. I was rather hoping I'd avoid it, but it wasn't stupid.

[ He doesn't regret any of it. ]

[sexyoldgirl]

And so that's why he attempted to drown himself in a bottle of whiskey. [Slight...exaggeration.]

You just can't help it, can you? Dying in place of one of your strays. [It's less cross but still upset.]

[comeonthensexy]

Better me than them.

[ He sighs. ]

That idiot... He's gone and started blaming himself, hasn't he?

[sexyoldgirl]

Except you didn't regenerate, you died.

[p a u s e]

There might be a little bit of self-blame in quite a few of them.

[comeonthensexy]

No, no, no, they shouldn't-- Why? It's not their fault!

[sexyoldgirl]

If you had lived and one of the other Doctors died wouldn't you blame yourself?

[And she's...not sure if he knows. The TARDIS actually doesn't have any real details of their deaths.]

There was another casualty.
