♣ 6 ♣ [video]

[dyingisnotdead]

[The device turns on, revealing a Loras who looks...tired. He has been sleeping for two weeks (he has looked at the date), but he feels no more rested than he would, before.

He has been home. Living for months without knowledge of this place. But as he has woken up--he remembers the prophecy, the future he saw, so many weeks ago.

He knows that when he returns home, it will come true.

There is no escaping it.

So if he looks more serious, older, well. It is just the way of things, now.]

It seems while I slept, I returned home. I do not understand how it has occurred or why I have returned but--

--I can not deny the truth of it.

[He runs his free hand through his mess of curls.]

Can someone tell me what I have missed?

And--how many of you have returned home, and had no recollection of this place? Is that how it happens, always? With no way to use the knowledge of things learned here, back in our worlds?

[To avoid his fate--oh he wishes that he could.]

That isn't any explanation!

[comeonthensexy]

Of course it is! You can't just go swanning off with knowledge of your own future.

[Video]

[dyingisnotdead]

I don't see why not! Psyhics do it all the time!

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

That's always limited knowledge.

[Video]

[dyingisnotdead]

And yet it could be enough.

I just--

--we should be given the chance.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

The gods know the risk. They're playing it safe. As they should.

[Video]

[dyingisnotdead]

And who are you to say they are right or not?

A Time Lord and seasoned time traveller.

But not human--you get to just--survive. To live. I have one life, and that's it.

[comeonthensexy]

So do I. It's just a little longer.

[ He shakes his head. ]

I get it. I do. But when I say it's not that simple, it's really not. Time is ... very good, generally, at sort of ... adjusting to what people do, but it's sensitive and if you don't know what you're doing, if you know the future and try to knowingly change a course of events ... It could get really messy really fast. I know how time works. I spent centuries studying it. And it doesn't work like that. I'm sorry.

You can't honestly tell me that you don't attempt to change fate. To use what you know to save people.

[comeonthensexy]

[ Pause. ]

Of course I do. If I can. But I also know what I'm doing.

... Mostly.

[ He rubs his fingers over his forehead. ]

But this is more than just a vague idea of the future, or a prediction. I will say, though, that fate does not exist, and what you have heard might not be what happens. Isn't what happens in all realities, most likely.

[Video]

[dyingisnotdead]

But what if it is.

Why should I have to risk that.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Because if you hadn't ended up here that wouldn't even have been a possibility.
