Video; UN: Newton | (takes place during the player plot log; read that first!)
... Ugh — could some of you do me a favor and not blow up my phone while I'm busy?
All these months aboard the Ximilia, you've all really been a pain in the ass. Nosy, clingy judgmental pains in my backend; ooooh, I've been waiting for the right time to try this kind of chaos on for size. Did you know how hard it was to pretend to give a damn about the messy bunch of you? These last few days have been especially egregious. Gotta admit, some of you, I almost felt a little bad for. Not you, Peter — can't fucking stand you. It's too bad my aim wasn't as good as it should've been back in Giva, but what can ya do? Pfft, and don't get me started on the Doctor. How many idiots does it take to murder a guy?
[They tug on Newton's slightly crooked tie, yanking it off and flinging it away.]
Oof, much better.
You know what would be even better? Getting rid of you guys at long last. What better way to get even for the ways you've all treated me like a joke all this time? Little disorganized, intolerable Newton Geiszler — the poor, loud, mentally unwell bastard. Mmmyeah, he can be a bastard in plenty of other ways.
Like this one!
[They hold up a switch, flicking it — there's a small quake through the train as the back cars are decoupled and left to slowly fade into the distant railroad. There goes a few orbers and civilians, left to scratch their heads in mortified confusion. Newton looks absolutely tickled by the fact.]
Oooo, love that! This is so fun; you all should try this bad guy schtick more often.
Anyway, have fun, sorry if you end up mauled to death. I'd say it's not personal, but it kind of is. Sooo... bye!
[OOC: A network post to go along with the player plot! Feel free to use this as a way to threadjack/hop around with each other regarding what's happening in the log! Newton will reply to people here as well, though the threads may be a bit brief. The explosion that occurs here aligns with the opt-out prompt in the player log, as it happens at the same time! Here's the main log for all your player plot log needs, as well as the mod's conclusion post! Read those first to know what the hell is going on!]

You're supposed to be a little faster than that, Doctor.

[ He'd like to think he has a good sense of these things!!! ]
Why?
no subject
Why? Because we goofed around a few times? You're pretty gullible for someone who's allegedly old as dirt. Not every human you skip around with is actually there to be your buddy.
no subject
[ ow a little ]
But you were not like that. Everyone who ever tried to take my life, they had reason. They had cause. What was yours?
no subject
Isn't it obvious, though?
You put your nose into everything — at the cost of everyone else, I'm sure. You and your TARDIS and your companions. Last thing anyone around here needs is another place for you to flex for hero complex.

[ Even after all of these years, the Doctor can still sometimes seem so aloof. He'd made friends here, sure, but he still keeps far too much of himself close to the chest — and it's hard to learn about others if you don't share yourself.
But this ... surely he would have seen this coming.
The last bit ... well. The last bit can't quite be argued with, can it? The Doctor has an ego and he has a tendency to want to be the hero, to do great and be great (and be seen as great). ]
no subject
How could you have possibly known?
[They grin toothily.]
Well, you know how it is.
Geronimo, and all that jazz.
