the HOT OR NOT meme

This is a very straightforward meme.

Step one: Post as your character.
Step two: Other characters will rate yours from one (not hot) to ten (really hot).
Step three: Rate the characters who rated you.
Step four: My inbox dies! Funtiems!

[she laughs] Poor Querl.

You make it sound like a walk in the park. In September.

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

September walks in the park are nice, too.

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

I love spring time more. The scent of lilacs is quite something.

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

Indeed it it, though I have a bias towards Gallifreyan autumns. Watching the trees shed their silver leaves, sparkling like thousands of tiny meteorites against the setting suns...

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Gallifreyan?

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

Ah--Gallifrey. The planet that I'm from.

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Oh. So you're an alien.

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

As are you.

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. Sorry.

I'm Naltorian.

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

Oh? I actually assumed you were Terran. I guess I'm not any better, am I?

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Mmm, it's alright. I don't mind.

So what is Gallifrey like?

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

[Insert nervous chuckle here] Ah, uhm. Thank you.

It's a nice place, so long as you don't count the Gallifreyans themselves. The sky is gray, the ground is covered in fields of red and gold and silver on rolling hills and mountains. Dry with long summers.

And Naltor?

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

That certainly is a gorgeous place, then.

Naltor is lovely, especially at nighttime when all the stars come out and you have the most gorgeous view of the constellations. The grass is soft, and the water is crystal blue.

But to really enjoy Naltor, you shouldn't bother with the Naltorians. Years of traditions have made them stuffy and hard to deal with.

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

Same to your planet. Perhaps I'll visit when this is over--assuming that my universe has it.

That sounds...suspiciously like the Gallifreyans. Well, the Time Lords at any rate. Stiff-necked bureaucrats, the lot of them. Sometimes it amazes me how long they've managed to continue this way without killing themselves off in some conspiratorial frenzy.

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would be more exciting than Naltor's problems.

Naltorians follow the faith of Predestination. Whatever they foresee, they believe with the utmost certainty that it will happen. There are no surprises or excitement in anything - just monotonous living.

I am glad that I got out when I did.

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

Ah. Time Lords face a similar problem; with the ability to travel through time, most think of themselves as 'immortal overseers'. They're arrogant with power and yet they refuse to use their abilities to correct obvious problems in the time lines of other species--'interfering', they call it--so instead they're content to sit back and bicker while civilizations are unfairly destroyed right under their noses. Nothing ever gets done!

...So you left, too?

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

I often feel the same disgust for my race. We were born with such an amazing gift. So how can they just sit back and let these wars, invasions, deaths happen and not do a thing about it? It's...unsettling.

Yes! And soon after, I joined the Legion of Super-Heroes.

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

Very much so. That's why I left--to do what the Time Lords wouldn't. It's a lonely profession, but...rewarding, usually.

And there you were able to use your precognition--if I understood the description of your people correctly--to its full extent, yes?

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I was a little Predestined myself. Only until I was able to witness the shifting of an outcome myself did I break free from the Naltorian mind set.

Querl also helped me as well.

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

I'm happy for you, then.

Is Querl a friend of yours?

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Mmm. No. Querl is my teammate...as well as my husband.

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly a little unnerved--this is an attractiveness-rating meme, after all.]--Oh? Well, I'm...happy for that as well.

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

So do you have anyone special yourself?

[celery-brooch.livejournal.com]

Er...I used to, yes. It's been a very long time since I've seen her and my children.

[foreseen-future.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[awkward]

Well I'm sure that they miss you very much, wherever they are.
