[Backdated to late in the day yesterday.

York had been surprised, to say the least, when a bird had shown up in his room with the TARDIS's signature VWORP VWORP noise, but he'd quickly remembered the parrot that the Eleventh Doctor had kept - brought back from the pirate land, he thought. So he'd filtered to the Doctor asking if that was intentional, and if not that he could return the bird to him no problem.

He hadn't answered for a while, but this was the Doctor; he could get easily distracted.

After a day, though, York had been worried. Tardy the bird was a little larger than the conure Delta had turned into a number of times, but he found that the same sort of training and gestures applied. So he wandered down to the Doctor's room with the bird on his shoulder, occasionally making squaks or informing York "I'mtheDoctorbytheway".

His panic triples when he sees the nameplate empty. But that could just mean he moved, so York does an entire patrol of the castle, and then one more when he's done to make sure that's right. And yeah. Yeah, it is.

When he dictates to the journal, he sounds both upset and tired.
]

The Doctor's gone back to his own world. I--I know he'll like it better that way. Freedom was always the one thing he wanted here and couldn't have.

[But York would certainly miss him, and he knew there would be a lot of other people who would as well. In his three and a half years here, they'd never been without a Doctor.]

[Well that makes things that much more complicated, not only in terms of York's life going straight to hell in a handbasket, but in terms of the Castle-wide need for a TARDIS in the case of an emergency. Somberly,] We're going to the hot springs. I'll meet you up at your room.

[Well. That was that, then. Crowley had wondered why the celery had shown up, now here was his answer. The demon couldn't remember a time the castle had been Doctor-less, either. He's silent for a long time, mostly trying to find a way to vocalise the news, but also in part because...well, this was York and it was THAT time of year again and he tended to avoid the guy as a general rule]

Yeah. He'd be happier running around the universe. Making people annoyed.

[Right up until he dies and regenerates. And at some point he'd become his Ninth, which to Crowley is another can of emotional worms altogether]

...Still. Won't be the same.

[There's a silent nod from her, glad that he's not protesting her attempt to calm him down. Not now at least.]

I'll help. Be at your room in ten.

[And once again, someone he trusts inevitably leaves him. It's just the way the universe works. Of course, it wasn't the Doctor's choice, not really. But he's gone all the same. Just like everyone else. His tone isn't even sad, just a hallow sort of acceptance]

...Figures.

wilder: (hmmmmm)

Dictated

[personal profile] wilder 2012-11-04 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh.

[A pause. he didn't expect this]

That's too bad. I'd hoped to get to know him better....oh well.

[He really needs to work on this bad procrastination habit he has going on]

[....]

[Eh, later.]

[This is a sad note to see. A doctor has always been in Paradisa, almost for as long as Allen can remember, in one form or another. To think of him gone...]

...Thank you for letting us know.

Even if he's happier out there, he will be missed.
save_the_souls: (Is that  your way?)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2012-11-04 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes...there isn't a right or wrong way to think about it. I mean...it's good to be happy that he's free if that's what he desired, but...

If it hurts, it hurts. It's okay to feel that too.

[Zelos gives pause to that. 'Always have faith in people', huh? Was that really true, or just some very loving view of a close friend? Not having the exposure that Zelos needed to foster a sense of trust...he's inclined to believe the latter. People loved to claim they always have faith in people in general, but putting it into practice was a whole another thing. So very few he have seen have ever manage it]

[Unless of course, the people were back home were right and he simply didn't count among "people". Who knows.]


Hm...

Sounds like a pretty big loss for us then.

[There were definitely questions he was left with now unanswered, even if he didn't share York's outlook. Important questions...but oh well. Not a whole lot he could do about that. ]
save_the_souls: (I'm still here)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2012-11-04 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, that is much better. He'll probably have many thrilling adventures.
wilder: (oh hey nearly stabbed you there whoops)

[personal profile] wilder 2012-11-04 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeaaaah, he's picking up on that lack of optimism]

Hey, you never know- it could happen. I mean I've been here seven times now.

[There's a pause before Allen speaks. He knows York is older than him but...Allen was an older resident. He felt compelled to help out when he could]

...Sometimes, when this place sends home someone I love....I find it helps to write a letter to them. They never have to see it, so you can say anything you want.

But...I find it to be a good way to sort out your feelings...and say goodbye.
youfallback: (L: I have faith in you.)

[When Carolina arrives at his room, she's already changed and ready to go to the hot springs, wearing a set of streets over her bikini. Right now she hates the Castle for what it's doing to York. She wants to help and mitigate every last bit of stress, but there's only so much she can feasibly do and having to accept that fact has been harder than she expected it to be.

As she crosses the room, she tries to smile, because he's always said that all he wants is for her to be happy and hell maybe it's time she really started trying to be happy.
] Hey. Have any ideas for cages?
wilder: (side stand)

[personal profile] wilder 2012-11-04 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's more of a tumultuous love-hate sentiment towards me. Sometimes she wants me around as her personal lover, other times she doesn't even want to share a planet with me. You know how it goes.

Wow. And I take it that's a long time?
