"Wouldn't surprise me. Wouldn't surprise me if they were actually the same creature just manifesting differently in the different universes. Because that's how universes roll."
The Doctor nodded about the passing of time. "For me, it's more than that. I can feel and taste time. Since I can't feel it right now, clapping is the only steady method. My hearts rate change if I'm standing still, verses running, verses sleeping. But clapping or tapping a finger, I can keep it steady."
The Doctor raises an eyebrow. "Unless what?"
no subject
The use of "hearts" was flagged in Azmuth's mind. Not a human unstuck from time then. Time Lord or a similar species.
Realizing his muttering had been heard, Azmuth raised a hand to his head. "I'm an anomaly in my own universe. My people are recognized as the smartest race in the Milky Way. My own intellect far surpasses all others of my race and others in five known galaxies." No arrogance was in his tone, just a blunt iteration of facts. "And ever since I was young I could sense the fundamental forces of the universe. To me, it's like seeing something perpetually out of the corner of your eye that you can't get a clear enough view to describe in ways others can understand, possibly like how you say you can feel and taste time. Unfortunately, it doesn't help much concerning your time sense given that the fundamental forces of the universe are so clearly seen here that the 'image' in the corner of my eye is much clearer even if I can never directly look at them without assistance."
no subject
The Doctor understands, to an extent. He's usually a touch-telepath, but if he's near another, stronger, telepath, touch isn't always needed. So, that 'corner of the eye' thing, is... something he has experienced.
"Forces in the universe? What sort of forces?"
Because perhaps that's the key to this place.
no subject
He held out a hand, palm up, as he explained.
"Most of the time, there's a hard delineation between reality and those fundamental forces which are the building blocks for any universe. However, those fundamental forces can leak through, but even those who can see and manipulate them are kept within certain bounds. For example, any member of the Celestialsapien race can change the universe on a whim and technically exist outside of a given universe yet remain bound to the overall cluster of branching timelines in that section of the multiverse. If the multiverse as a whole were to be represented on an X, Y, and Z graph, the plane that represents their section of the multiverse would be flat: They'd only be able to move horizontally, not vertically. Anything they do only affects their plane while the rest of the planes of the multiverse remain untouched.
"Here, however, we're moving along the Z axis as well. That hard line between reality and the fundamental forces is stretched so thin that with even just a slight application of willpower..."
He slowly swept his hand through the air. A milky white mist began to swirl around his fingers as if he'd passed his hand through a layer of milk above water, blending the two together briefly. While his Bending still needed work and he still had a massive block to finish working his way through, he could do this much without hurting himself. His recent Ascension helped significantly on that front.
"...one can grasp those fundamental forces and reshape them, ordering the Chaos and realizing the full Potentiality of what could be."
no subject
He watched as Azmuth used his bending skill.
"Bending is a capacity that everyone has in dreams."
Which means, it should be simple. Shouldn't take work. But then, the Doctor is a telepath. He assumes the skill itself is as gone as his Time Sense, though he hasn't tried it yet, but that doesn't mean his knowledge of the skills are gone. They seem fully intact, which just makes the loss that much more painful.
"I understand what you're saying about the axis. I've... never been bound by them. Not really. Time, Space, mental efforts, they are all different parts of the graph, but when you combine them together, the graph becomes 5-dimensional."
no subject
He glanced down towards the swamp.
"Using Bending, I could sprout wings and fly right off of this branch if I wanted to. However if I doubt for even a second that I could, the wings would never form and I'd find myself plummeting to the ground. After all, doubt is a form of will in and of itself. In fact, even my body as it is right now is the result of subconscious Bending because I'm firm in my belief that I'm a Galvan, not a bird, with all the strengths and limitations that come with it.
"Are you hungry?"
The sudden non-sequitur had a purpose. Food was typically the easiest thing to Bend into existence when one was hungry and their body wanted food.
no subject
Compared to before. The Doctor is quite sure he will be able to bend. After all, that's mostly how piloting the TARDIS and using the Sonic worked.
Sorry for the delay. Busy week.
"At the moment, however, we're talking in philosophical circles unless you happen to have something specific that you can ask without the 'this could all be a dream' issue cropping up."
no worries!
Because, that's all the Doctor worries about right now.
"Everything hinges on whether you accept this place as real or not."
So how goes the app thing?
Which was why philosophy sucked.
In response to that last statement, Azmuth nodded. "There are a few things, however, you subconsciously accept as givens such as your appearance. Still, anything more complex than that does require belief though if enough raw desire is there and your Bending strength is adequate, it's possible to subconsciously Bend something into existence."
no subject
"Then you'll never know... not really... no possible way..."
The Doctor might look a little scared at that idea. Sure he says that often, but... to be trapped in his dream. Or to accept this place as the waking world, is a terrifying decision.
no subject
"For everyone else that seems to be the case," Azmuth admitted. "There aren't many who choose to believe it's simply a dream. Those who do typically don't for long, most likely as a sense of mental self-preservation: Nothing they do seems to wake them up, so it's better to accept this as reality than entertain the possibility that their real selves are trapped in, say, a coma that they'll never wake from."
no subject
It's stated as simple fact. He spent four point five billion years, dying over 230 billion times. He's at the same time, mentally stronger and weaker than anyone he knows.
no subject
He paced along the branch for a moment.
"I never denied this was real because I'd already seen the fundamental forces in play in the multiverse and seeing them here to a stronger extent proved that it was real since I can't see them in dreams. Because of that and other factors I've come to see the multiverse as a series of nested dimensions, each aware of at least the possibility of lower ones but unaware that they themselves were not the outer shell. The only thing I really question about this place is whether or not it truly is the highest level of reality or if there's some level beyond it, something which I can neither prove nor disprove.
"However if you don't have that frame of reference, my own experiences are likely useless to you."
no subject
He states that rather testily. Then he offers a short pause.
"Usually."
He huffs in annoyance, not at Azmuth.
"I usually can feel, see, and taste time. But here, I don't have any of that. It's like being blinded. You say you never had your abilities in dreams, but you have them here and that's proof for you. I don't recall a time I didn't have my abilities. Being in a universe of anti-time, where there was no time at all, sure. But even there, I knew there wasn't time. That wasn't like this. This... This is wrong."
And he doesn't know how to make it plainer than that. Because this is new and different and frustrating and scary, but he's not really the type to express his emotions, so it comes out as annoyance.
no subject
It was a theory he was working on. Unfortunately, he was a being trying to understand how a species that could literally taste time when he himself lacked the senses.
no subject
"Focus. Let me tell you about focus. I spent four and a half billion years breaking out of a place I was trapped in. Focus is not a problem I have."
