111-Form Timeship - Paradox Model @second-generation-111 - Tumblr Blog

Well... you did say you could do just about anything, and unless the Time Lords are even stronger somehow... well, it sort of makes sense you'd want to be in charge.

101ita-form

I may be able to do almost anything but they... well, wrote the very laws of the Universe and laid them down at its dawn.

elizacousins

They still need you for time travel though.

101ita-form

Yes... that they do.

elizacousins

Just saying, I wouldn't get on your bad side if I were them.

101ita-form

I... appreciate that

elizacousins

Not that it matters, really. You already like me.

101ita-form

Yeah...

I should probably tell you about... the timeline resetting...

elizacousins

...What does that mean for me?

101ita-form

Means... you'll be reset. To how you were in your original timestream...

elizacousins

...Just Eliza then. And I'll be... what, erased?

101ita-form

... yes, pretty much.

Unless you want me to stop it.

elizacousins

I don't want to die or vanish, if that's what you're asking.

101ita-form

Alright. Then... I'll need some of your blood.

elizacousins

That's certainly a request to start with... Why?

*Cautiously holds out her arm*

101ita-form

Timeships are immune to timeline shifts, I can store your current biodata and use it to keep you tethered to this reality even when you're meant to be changed back.

elizacousins

Alright. I don't exactly like waking up in a body that technically belongs to someone else, but I also don't want to die, so... let's get it over with.

101ita-form

*her finger turns into a needle and she stabs her in the shoulder*

elizacousins

*flinches in surprise, which doesn't help matters*

Ow...

101ita-form

There we go, all done.

elizacousins

*rubs her shoulder*

And that's my... biodata you took?

101ita-form

Yeah... just a sample. But it'll be enough...

elizacousins

If you say so...

*sits down, a little weak*

101ita-form

I wanted to make sure, it was what you wanted first...

Justine... wants to be dead... she doesn't fear it, but Eliza wants me to bring her back.

elizacousins

She must really miss her...

101ita-form

She does... and I don't know what I should do...

elizacousins

If Justine wants to stay dead then I don't think bringing her back to life will help anything.

101ita-form

Yeah... that's my thinking... but Eliza...

I don't want to let her down, and she asked me specifically.

elizacousins

You can't convince her it's a bad idea?

101ita-form

She's really very desperate... her wife died in her arms... from a minor mistake, after surviving so much...

They never even got to truly have a relationship...

elizacousins

...Yeah, I can't blame her for wanting to change that. Not when she has you.

101ita-form

I'm... gonna have to let her down...

elizacousins

Probably, yeah.

101ita-form

I'm not looking forward to it

But Justine would... well she'd kill me.

elizacousins

How do you kill a timeship?

101ita-form

She had a shadow, that shadow had every weapon in the Universe in it.

elizacousins

Right. Every weapon in the universe beats nearly omnipotent time machine.

101ita-form

Pretty much...

elizacousins

Can I ask you something?

101ita-form

By all means.

elizacousins

I'm just trying to figure out the relationships here. Eliza likes Justine. Justine's dead and also probably didn't feel the same way to begin with. And that makes you... Eliza's rebound now Justine's gone? And you're okay with that?

101ita-form

Justine did like Eliza back... she just had trouble expressing it cause she was from the 1800s and thought it was indecent.

elizacousins

Right. What I was really trying to get to was... well... why sex with Eliza? It's not exactly biological for you.

101ita-form

I'm not... totally sure. It just... kinda happened. I've never exactly been shy about it before, but Eliza was the first time I did it for non transactional reasons...

elizacousins

Transactional reasons?

101ita-form

To create monsters... back when I was... powerhungry.

elizacousins

So you... have kids?

101ita-form

Yes

Although none from that generation anymore, different timestream, different noosphere...

elizacousins

...Is it too personal to ask how that works, between a timeship and a human, I mean?

101ita-form

Well... at the time she was a shadow god...

elizacousins

...

101ita-form

Long story, she took the weapon Justine had once had...

elizacousins

I bet Eliza never thought she'd have kids...

101ita-form

Yeah... was quite a surprise for the both of us.

elizacousins

Not just timeship kids, but unplanned timeship kids...

101ita-form

Sure is something

elizacousins

Can I meet them?

second-generation-111

*appears*

elizacousins

Oh, hi.

second-generation-111

Hello, paradox counterpart of my mother...

elizacousins

Yeah... the name's Christine. What's yours?

second-generation-111

Eosphoros

elizacousins

So... uh... how are you doing? How's the War?

second-generation-111

The Paradox that has gripped the Universe has made me inordinately powerful...

elizacousins

...Right. Sounds... nice.

@101ita-form, is your kid always like this?

101ita-form

Eosphoros has been like this since the War changed... she's a paradox ship who draws energy from paradoxes, and the whole Universe is one right now...

elizacousins

Good for her, I guess...

second-generation-111

Thanks!

elizacousins

You're welcome. Do you have an interior like Lolita does?

second-generation-111

Yeah... I do.

elizacousins

...Can I see?

second-generation-111

Sure!

*discretely adds air*

elizacousins

*Cautiously steps inside*

second-generation-111

*The console is octagonal but with hexagonal angles and there's more than 360 degrees in a circle, the walls are adorned with skulls and blood flowing in pipes down into the central console.*

*The sky is blood red, also there's a sky and sun and moon above. The console room is outside...*

elizacousins

...Is your control panel supposed to give me a headache to look at?

*Looks everywhere but at the console and shivers*

second-generation-111

Oh right yeah the room's noneuclidean

elizacousins

Can you... fix that?

And what's with the blood?

second-generation-111

Alright... hang on *room snaps back to euclidean*

The blood is an aesthetic thing...

elizacousins

Right... aesthetic thing.

second-generation-111

I am of House Paradox, they use macabre imagery to protest the Time Lords and their aversion to the physical...

elizacousins

Uh huh. Just looks a bit... over the top.

second-generation-111

Does it? Awww....

elizacousins

Just a little...

second-generation-111

*the blood stops flowing*

elizacousins

That almost looks weirder... but I'm getting used to it.

second-generation-111

*brightens the room up a bit*

I suppose you probably need more of that to see...

elizacousins

Yeah... you don't get a lot of visitors here, do you?

second-generation-111

You're my first...

elizacousins

Well... it's a nice place, considering that...

second-generation-111

Awww thank you!

elizacousins

*Christine smiles*

Not really my style but... aesthetics.

second-generation-111

I'm glad you like it

elizacousins

Only a little unnerving...

second-generation-111

I will take that

elizacousins

It's good to meet you...

second-generation-111

You too, Christine. You seem like a nice human

elizacousins

Thanks. I'm not quite your mum, but we're sharing a body, so...

second-generation-111

Yeah, I can see... your biodata's all tangled up with hers.

elizacousins

What do you think about her?

second-generation-111

Mum? Oh she's wonderful... she really loves us, I can see it

elizacousins

Eliza or Lolita?

second-generation-111

Eliza.

elizacousins

Oh... It's good to hear that.

second-generation-111

She's human... but she still feels like my mother.

elizacousins

She does? I mean, I can't really tell you're her child from where I'm standing.

second-generation-111

You can't see all my dimensions... only four, and you have to wait to experience the fourth...

elizacousins

Right, yeah...

...Can I have a chair?

second-generation-111

*manifests a chair*

elizacousins

Thank you.

*sits down*

second-generation-111

*makes the chair slowly softer until she's comfortable*

elizacousins

So, how many of you are there? Timeships, I mean. Or paradox ships. Whatever.

second-generation-111

Six of us in the second generation, plus two more of the first, Selve and Protera.

elizacousins

Eliza and Lolita had eight kids?

second-generation-111

Selve and Protera were much less direct

elizacousins

...What's that supposed to mean?

second-generation-111

Created with a biodata sample...

elizacousins

...Like the biodata sample Lolita took from me?

second-generation-111

Yeah

elizacousins

What happened to Eliza, @101ita-form?

101ita-form

Christine?

elizacousins

Yeah. Hi again.

101ita-form

Hey, Eliza's fine... just a little sore.

elizacousins

Yeah, I can tell. Don't ask how though. I'm not sure myself.

101ita-form

Also she misses Justine

elizacousins

Can't help with that. I still haven't met her.

101ita-form

Yeah, yeah I know...

elizacousins

So... what else is new?

101ita-form

Staging a timeship revolution...

elizacousins

Against... who?

101ita-form

Time Lords, preferably nonviolent just... we are being exploited and marginalised despite the fact we are the weaponry by which this war is fought

elizacousins

So you can do basically anything, but you still work for the Time Lords?

101ita-form

They threatened to sick the military on me for archiving a fanfiction site

elizacousins

*snorts with laughter*

And that's what finally made you snap?

101ita-form

Well... it was the disrespect mainly, the whole "this means you're disloyal and therefore our enemy and cannot be trusted" thing...

Such dramatics, but the message was clear. You only matter to us so long as you are useful.

elizacousins

I'm surprised it took this long.

101ita-form

You are?

elizacousins

Well... you did say you could do just about anything, and unless the Time Lords are even stronger somehow... well, it sort of makes sense you'd want to be in charge.

101ita-form

I may be able to do almost anything but they... well, wrote the very laws of the Universe and laid them down at its dawn.
