Navin!

Narvin, you are deeply important to history. Gallifrey would be much worse off without you

I...

I don't know how to do this. But my office door is open if you need a space to get away from it all. I have some nice drinks and promise not to bother you

Erasing myself from history sounds almost reasonable, compared to current events.

[braxiatel-the-collector]

Well you see I am just in fact that wonderful

"so you're who I'll become? how... homely" ... my dear romana, you chose it, or will choose it, etc. though to be fair I think that may have been a clearly-very-healthy grief coping mechanism

also wow you really hate yourself huh

[braxiatel-the-collector]

@justine-of-faction-paradox can I ask you a question? Why did you join Faction Paradox in the first place?

@justine-of-faction-paradox JUSTINE MCMANUS. I had rather hoped you would develop some loyalty to Gallifrey. I had rather hoped you would find a pleasant life here. But never make the mistake of assuming I don't have a contingency plan.

I am the person who watches the watchman, and you would have been very wise to remember that.

you step away for one routine medical appointment...

@commander-torvald, kindly let @coordinatorofthecia out of that blasted cell. Coordinator, my immense apologies. I thought that perhaps this person from the Faction could have been rehabilitated. I was aware that the Cousin of the Faction might do something foolish, but I never considered the possibility that she would be so brazen as to attempt to arrest the Coordinator of the Celestial Intervention Agency.

Justine. Either successfully appear to my better nature - and trust me, it is much smaller than you might think - or get off-world. You are here on my sufferance and Innocet will not protect you from me. And, I might remind you, the first time we met, I warned you not to cross me. You do not wish to find out why.

Oh, and let me stop a delusion of yours. You are not Grandfather Paradox. I met him before he founded your silly little cult - he was family of family, after all. He was insane, but he was powerful. Driven. Focused. Compared to him, you are a screaming child.

[braxiatel-the-collector]

[sighs deeply]

Justine, I'm currently at the Presidential ceremony. We'll talk later. You may be on thin ice, but you haven't burnt through all your chances yet.

An earth animal that was domesticated by humans. They are primarily used as mounts.

i like the idea that leela's speaking gallifreyan in the gallifrey audios, as are the time lords, because it means whenever romana or brax use a weird human idiom, they're not just using an idiom that makes no sense culturally. they're literally translating human idioms word to word and for this reason they sound totally bizarre to literally anyone else on the planet

[braxiatel-the-collector]

Afraid that's something you will have to go through either the Castellan or the Inquisitor for.

@coordinatorofthecia may I have access to this fable Rolodex I hear so much about? Or will I have to ask the Lord Chancellor to order you to hand it over. I will know if any fakes have been supplied Coordinator, I have a back for knowing things like that. I am after all… what do you call it… a Time Sensitive? And with the Grandfather’s Shadow I can increase my ability to detect fakes whenever I need to. I also have a Jack for know things which have not yet come to pass. Not significantly you must understand just a feeling that you may try to give me a fake Rolodex I insist you do not.

[braxiatel-the-collector]

I'm currently mostly seeing what she does. Given that she's not a time lord who abandoned us, and is instead a human who got sucked into that accursed cult, it's entirely possible that she will adapt to life in the Capitol as well as she did in that accursed Empire. It's also possible that this is some scheme of hers, and I am watching vigilantly for that.

@braxiatel-the-collector, what do you think you’re doing? It wasn’t you I was trying to hide this from! Tell me, why did you think it was a good idea to tell Justine our plans?

Thank you. If she wouldn’t trust anyone else, you’re the most convenient candidate. And if you had any particular plans to that purpose, I’d be glad to help, or play the villain.

[braxiatel-the-collector]

So long as her actions are worthy of my blessing. She's smart enough to know where the boundaries are. If we give Justine enough rope, she will either give us a good reason to have her vaporized or prove a highly valuable asset.

@justine-of-faction-paradox, I assume you are aware of the summons that has been received by the President-Elect, the Coordinator, and the Commanders Maxil and Torvald? Commander Torvald has, very helpfully, publicly shared the exact wording of his summons.

I know you have been desiring some more action, and this might be the perfect opportunity. You have my blessing to investigate.

[braxiatel-the-collector]

I do wonder if this could be connected to your arrival, President-Elect

@homunculetteofgallifrey, what do you make of this… rolodex?

[braxiatel-the-collector]

As far as I am aware. Under no circumstances kill him, avoid forcing him to regenerate if at all possible, and feel free to humiliate him as much as you so desire.

@justine-of-faction-paradox, our lovely Coordinator made the mistake of forgetting that just as he is in charge of offworld security, I am in charge of the security of the Capitol.

My Watchtower spynet picked up him proposing hiding duplicates of the... item regarding your investigations. Be aware of that as a possibility. The only other thing I was able to find was that Commander Maxil may be considering challenging you to a duel, although I have no idea what the point of that would be. Unless he's after a dueling scar for his all-important good looks.

Oh and Narvin? If you're going to try to keep me out of the loop about something, kindly be a bit more clever about it.

[braxiatel-the-collector]

My lady, I must object to this suprious slander!

Brax is a Leela/Narvin shipper

It's canon

[braxiatel-the-collector]

I find this most concerning, but it appears you have the situation well in hand, Coordinator

Was anyone else sent a mysterious summons?

[braxiatel-the-collector]

I wasn't sent anything. Would either of you care to fill me in on what's going on?
