AL nods. "Heck, even if they didn't want to make a fuss I'd personally stick a cupcake in their trailer or dressing room if I were there."
"Things were rocky for a while but he's mellowing," says AL, gently nudging Twelve in the arm.
He clears his throat. "We know why I have this face now."
"It's been implied," AL elaborates, "that the Doctor subconsciously has some kind of control over what face he gets while regenerating. That could be why Six looks like the guard that once shot Five...I don't think you forget if someone shot you point-blank."
Five absently rubs his chest.
"Anyways," she continues, "we mentioned back when he was cast about his actor already playing Caecilius in Pompeii and Ten and Donna and I saving his family from Vesuvius despite the eruption being a fixed point in time.
"So, we were in...er, well, we were on Earth and there were Vikings; I didn't have the chance to check when we were. As always, alien invasion. There was this girl, Ashildr, who died while we were fighting the threat. He'd grown close to her so had a brief 'My God, What Have I Done?' moment since it was his actions that caused her death." She's quick to add, "Accidentally...she had a weak heart we didn't know about. Then he goes through his Eureka Moment and we realized that Twelve chose this face to remind himself that sometimes you have to say Screw The Rules, I'm Doing What's Right." (this is the scene that made me love my show again)
"I saved her life with some reprogrammed tech from the invaders," says Twelve, but he doesn't sound happy. "But, barring accidents, I made her immortal. I gave her another piece of that tech in case she meets someone she feels she can't live without."
"Yeah, we'll see what happens." AL shrugs. "Almost every episode this season is a two-parter, so we'll find out what happened to her next time." Technically they know since this comment is being written on the 26th and part two aired on the 24th but let's live in the moment. Dee's birthday is right around the corner for someone to ask about it.
"And the Master is back," says Twelve.
AL makes a face. "Yeah, except she's 'Missy' now. Ugh. That puts it out there that, someday, the Doctor could be female as well." Her expression of disgust deepens. "We all know my views on that. Let's not bring it up again."
"Shall we bring up your timeline changes?" Ten asks.
She shrugs. "I guess. Remember when I listed my guys I mentioned JediBen, the character of the alter ego's ex? Well, he's going to be erased from existence for me. Personal stuff...check the alter ego's journal. And the guys here are going to be rearranged again. Data'll be last since, with JB out of the picture, there's no reason for him to die. The specifics haven't been fleshed out yet, but I heard she'll also expand a little on my Secundus self. She had this idea that Touched!Me is slightly afraid of heights and so won't fly higher than Ferdy's head on her own. Unless Plot drives it." Stop hinting at stuff I can't write yet, AL.
