*Strolling across a war-torn plain.*
Strandranggus Three. Nice little place, very odd wildlife, no people around to annoy us.
Should I worry that you took me to an empty place?
It's better than a city. Less temptation.
*is jumping rope*
Did you know that there's always war? People die, but there's always going to be more, until the end.

I know. *He smiles viciously.* But I saved the very last people, so that's okay.
And you're a friend. Friends aren't for killing.
*He smiles ruefully at her, then goes to skip rocks in a nearly stream.*

I am.
What do you see here? What animals here are you not familiar with at all?

*He grins and picks up a six-eyed lizard with dragonfly wings.* Cute, isn't it?
Adorable. [And she's not just saying that. She means it]
There's so much life to be found out in the universe, I don't know how the Doctor can stand Earth. *He gently tosses the lizardfly into the air and watches it flit away.* Silly fool doesn't even do anything interesting with the place. I can think of a million experiments he could try.
If I was in his place I'd try speed-evolving an acre or two, xenoforming Venus, uplifting every creature that caught my eye. What's the point of being sane, of being able to do more than destroy, if you spend your whole time fixing the mistakes of idiots?
He could create so much if he wanted to. He could act, not just react. Does it really take a villainous mindset to dream of being a god? There are so many ways the Doctor could be a glorious creator, but he just doesn't think. Whereas I think, and destroy everything I touch.

How? How is creation wrong, Rose?
Is it wrong to have children, then? Is art wrong? Is it wrong to dream?
I know I shouldn't do it, because I make monsters. But you wouldn't make monsters, and neither would he. *He looks confused, or even lost.* He could take a lifeless rock and turn it into a new Gallifrey, and it would be good. It wouldn't be taking a living world and smashing it, like I tend to do.

*Rose listens intently*
In a way I think it's kind of sad. Almost like it didn't make a mark you know? It's always nice to be remembered.
So where's that from?

Of course it is, or I wouldn't have linked to it now would I? LOL

It is sad, yes. But sad is beatiful, more beautiful than joy could ever be.
Humans are actually pretty good at music.

I was there at the end of all things, Rose. And I saved them, the last people out there in the dark. *He sighs.* I even made sure they wouldn't be dragged back, when my plans for them were done. No one else would've cared enough to do so, because they were mad and broken.
But I am too, and so they have a home. Beautiful, isn't it?

Creating things on a whim just to destroy them, like you would do, is what I meant.
That's why I don't create, yes. Although if I could be brought straight from one project to the next, so I don't have time to ruin things, I could make wonders.
The Doctor, though? He would be perfect for it, and he helps calm down unhappy apes instead. It's honestly a shame.

Only because you're one of his unhappy apes.
Well, an ape at least. And you must've needed his help a few times, right?
