So.
Um…
This happened.
Because even Time Lords have their off days. (Also, more Jack and Martha silliness. -_-)
Also, you should probably expect more gossip-obsessed Jack in the very near future, because it’s canon now. Sorry-not-sorry.
Accidents Happen
“You kicked the Master in the jaw?!”
“I was panicking, all right?”
The voices rose louder and louder. Jack looked up from his gossip magazine and grinned. They were at it again.
“I can’t believe you kicked the Master. In the jaw.”
“So what if I have long legs?!”
Jack laughed into the sleeve of his trusty old coat. They were just about getting to his favorite part.
“You kicked the Master. In the jaw.”
Silence.
“You kicked the Master in the face?! What about the ‘I’m the last Time Lord, he’s my responsibility’ line?”
“Martha.”
Jack snickered into the announcement that Vickie Whatserface had gotten engaged. He didn’t particularly care about half the gossip in the magazine, but the magazines had become an addiction. Thanks a lot, Lottie-at-Torchwood.
“I panicked, okay? I do stupid things when I panic! Humans do stupid things when they panic, too, don’t they?”
“I wouldn’t know,” Martha said in her not-quite-serious voice. She couldn’t contain her laughter any longer and burst out into a fit of giggles.
“What?” More giggles from Martha.
“What? Seriously, what?”
Martha said at last, still giggling, “You saved the world in a panic.”
“I do it on adrenaline half the time. Your point?”
“Panic whenever you want, Mister,” Martha said, obviously grinning. “This old planet isn’t going any place.”

In the jaw? I might’ve done it, too, I must admit.
I would definitely have done it. (And then I would have socked him in the intestines.) 😛
Haha! I love your viciousness. How’ve you been?
Fairly well, I have been tired, though. I am not cut out to be a fast food worker, quite obviously.
*laughs* Now, Erin, don’t give up! Obi wouldn’t want it that way.
Okay! *runs off and gives the Master a good punch in the nose* Ha-HA! 😛
Accidents do indeed happen. I don’t blame her. Quite a few of my book characters would have done the same. 😛
Blame her? It was the Doctor who kicked the Master in the face, and he’s a him.
😛 (I would’ve done it too, by the way.)
oh. *facepalm* You said it was Jack and Martha, so I got mixed up. That makes more sense. XD
Hahahahaha X-D (Also, I double checked and the Doctor has mastered a couple of forms of martial arts.)
Ah. That explains a lot… I think. XP
Meh. He’s hilariously clumsy sometimes but the rest of the time he can be so… 0_0
That sounds like Cobalt. XD (sorry… my book character and joke faucet. I see him everywhere o_O)
I doubt Cobalt has the same sort of inner darkness. The Doctor’s done some pretty terrible things in the past–the Time War (which he ended, to save the universe, by wiping out both his own species and the Daleks), and then there have been a couple of episodes… I’d direct your attention to “Dalek” (which has one of only two known incidents of a Dalek changing and deciding NOT to kill everybody), which got pretty dark, “The Family of Blood” (basically about a group of predators who want to hunt down the Doctor so they can live forever; they force the Doctor out of hiding and he ends up chaining the father in an eternal prison, throwing the mother into the event horizon of a collapsing galaxy, trapping the daughter in a mirror–when you see something moving out of the corner of your eye, that’s supposedly her–and freezing the son in time and setting him up as a scarecrow. He made sure they lived forever–just that they didn’t destroy the universe while they were at it. It’s still pretty dark though.) and then there was “The Runaway Bride”, in which he scared the poor woman who was with him by just standing there as the giant spiders that were trying to kill everyone were drowning. Pretty dark stuff. Eccleston’s Doctor tends to be darker than Tennant’s, but the latter two examples both were the Tenth Doctor.
(Sorry, I don’t mean to freak you out… it’s just that the Doctor tries his best to protect and save people, but ever since the Time War it’s gotten harder for him. Massive case of survivor’s guilt and PTSD, and I think that the weight of what he’d done is always going to be a powerful force on the character now–after something like that, he’s never going to be able to really go back. He hides it with charm and some absurdness, but it’s still there. On a lighter note, though, the Doctor’s sense of humor, while he does make people laugh sometimes, is somewhat skewed. It got to be that Rose was his monitor–whenever he stepped over the line she’d say so. Like if he told a joke that was just a little freaky for other people she’d tell him “That isn’t funny, Doctor,” and if he got carried away and said something unintentionally rude, she’d be like “no, Doctor” and one time he was thinking and grabbed a jar of marmalade or something from the countertop, popped the lid open and stuck his fingers in then put them in his mouth, and Rose was like “No” and he had this HILARIOUS expression like “WHOOPS I’ve been caught” like a little kid or something. X-P)
No, I’m not freaked out. Though my sister probably would be. 😛 That’s interesting, I understand his character a lot better now.
XD That’s so cute! “No, Doctor.” Sounds like one of my little brothers getting into stuff. XD
Whoop! On with the Roleplay! *whirls hand like I’m mustering a cavalry brigade* 😛
X-D Pretty much. He’s like a little kid only brilliant and logical–some of the time. 😛
Haha, totally! XD
