The Doctor gives a good head nod. That explains that, then.

"Now less of a question and more of an observation but hearing someone say they are going to save the Titanic does leave one with some feelings of incredulity, you understand..."

[familyalien]

"Yeah, the thing is. Wasn't the water ship Titanic it was the spaceship Titanic and I did keep it from crashing into the Earth." The Doctor looks smudge about himself and the impossibles that someone use to pull off. Lately, he hasn't been going that sense.

[amicustenebris]

"Seems a terrible name for a ship in any case, given the baggage that comes with it." If he had knowledge of the "color theory in a children's hospital" debate he might cite that as an example of context being important.

[familyalien]

"Agreed, but given the CEO was planning on crashing the spaceship anyways."

[amicustenebris]

"So intentional? I don't imagine an insurance payout would be worth it if there were casualties or collateral damage."

[familyalien]

The Doctor gives a fierce head nod, "If it crashed the insurance was worth the payout. Unfortunately most onboard didn't make it. They were murdered by robots. But - at least didn't crash into the Earth."

[amicustenebris]

"I'll take your word for it." Even if he knew he could argue in court to get that payout to someone else? Most of the time that kind of legal representation is only available to the wealthy and those at fault for things like this.

[familyalien]

"Don't know how all that human stuff works, me. Just know money pushes some humans to be murders." The Doctor remarks coldly.

[amicustenebris]

"Greed comes in many forms. But you're not wrong, sadly."

[familyalien]

The Doctor remarks dryly, "Unfortunately. Been though different times and different planet and it still exists."

[amicustenebris]

"If you have people, you will eventually have greed." People, he says. Not humans. Plenty of creatures can be greedy; have you met dragons?

[familyalien]

The Doctor gives a firm head nod, "I don't like it when comes down to greed ever. But it's not just humans it's everyone. Everyone who can establish a society. Even without money greed can exist. Greed for power."

[amicustenebris]

For a moment he's remembering his deals with King George. "Greed also makes people very stupid." Said with a distant look and a nod.

[familyalien]

"Yup." The Doctor remarks with a tired tone, "We both have stories. But isn't that what anyone is in the end? A story."

[amicustenebris]

"That's the thing. A person is never just one story, and a change in narrator is going to change the tone and the role." Even when the Author as a concept might as well be God in some worlds.

[familyalien]

"Well - if you want to start talking about the multiverse than yes, we have infinite stories. And you're right. You want a good narrator."

[amicustenebris]

"Even without multiple universes. Everyone that's ever encountered you would have a different story to tell at your funeral, I promise. And not all of them would be good."
