Colorless

[narwhale_callin]

For a moment, the Doctor could only splutter in horror over the perfectly bleached coat in his hands. And then he saw the note pinned to the sleeve:

Dear customer,

I have granted this fine specimen of fabrics my personal attentions. At Master Dry Cleaners (SM), we believe in quality and careful handling to achieve ultimate customer satisfaction.

Yours Sincerely,
The Manager

“I should have known!” the Doctor roared, ripping the letter in two.

“What’s wrong, Doctor?” said Peri, who received a pristine yellow jacket of her own from the attendant at the desk.

“It’s ruined! Utterly tarnished! Look at it!” He shoved the colorless coat under her nose.

“I think it’s an improvement,” she stated.

“Oh, don’t you start,” he snapped. The Doctor shoved his arms in the sleeves and whirled around, fully displaying the glaring lack of color that stretched across his arms and down his back. “I can’t go around wearing this-this insipid excuse for a garment! What kind of personality does it declare? Nothing!” He stormed towards the desk, rage flashing from his blue eyes. “Wait until I give that man a piece of my mind!” He slammed his hand down on the service bell twice.

Peri put on her own jacket and crossed her arms, watching the Doctor drum his fingers impatiently on the counter. “Well, I think it makes you look positively angelic, Doctor,” she remarked sarcastically.

The Doctor stopped drumming his fingers and glanced over his shoulder at her. “Oh, do you think so?” He straightened up and glanced at his figure in the floor-length mirror on the other side of the room. He turned his face to one side to observe the effect on his ‘good side.’ “Well, naturally I suppose my illustrious countenance would bring the best out in anything.”

“Sure, Doctor,” said Peri, rolling her eyes. “Whatever you say.”

“Hmm,” the Doctor hummed, ignoring her in favor of observing how the bleach-white jacket seemed to cut the line of his shoulders a little sharper-perhaps it had even been altered a little, to truly accentuate his pristine masculine features from every angle. In spite of himself, the Doctor’s mouth quirked into a pleased little smile.

In the mirror’s reflection, he caught Peri smirking. The Doctor swiveled in place to face her and raised an authoritative finger. “But that is not the point!” he declared. “One does not simply go and defile another man’s coat behind his back!”

“Can I help you, sir?” said the attendant, who’d just arrived.

The Doctor swiveled back round to face the attendant. “Yes,” he said, leaning his elbow on the counter and looking at the man with a fiery glint in his eye. “I would like to see the Manager.”

Wow, that is way too long. Sorry about that. Though I guess I'm lucky it didn't get longer, cause it sure tried to. The Master's Adventures in Dry Cleaning Villainy aren't exactly adventures that should be expanded upon, I suspect.

Lol! Cute fic.

Thanks!

<3 <3 <3 Poor Six. His coat was bleached of all things. I think the Master's Adventures in Dry Cleaning Villainy is the perfect thing to expand on.

Re: Colorless

[narwhale_callin]

**balks** You want the plot that makes clothes squeeze people until they suffocate to death a la Snow White?

Also, three heart marks? How unusual. I usually only get one. :)

Also, I didn't actually make up the name for that dry cleaners. It exists. In Michigan. I therefore thought it was valid to use, since I wasn't the first to come up with such a terrible name for a company. http://www.masterdrycleaners.com/images/logo.png

Re: Colorless

[narwhale_callin]

and the plot where he TCE's the clothes of people he doesn't like so they can never wear their favorite clothing article again? 0_0

Re: Colorless

[dragonofmemory]

Why, yes. Yes, I do. Those sound awesome. XD

lol. I'm sure the Master would disagree with you on it being a terrible name. And the Doctor probably deserves it for not noticing the name in the first place.

Re: Colorless

[narwhale_callin]

and the plot codenamed "Operation: shrink all the Doctor's clothes so he can't wear them"? Cause if it's going to go cracky, it may as well go as far as it can. You enabler.

And the Doctor probably deserves it for not noticing the name in the first place.

LOL, he totally does! XD I mean, really, Doctor, how could you miss that? Though in his defense, maybe there was a perception filter around the name, or maybe there was SUCH A FASHION EMERGENCY he didn't even look at the name.

...Although Six is already a walking fashion emergency...

[psifi872]

I would like to second the enabling! I definitely want more of this! What we've seen so far is absolutely brilliant. I laughed so much! Finally, the Master achieved perfect vengeance. ahahaaha Also, I'd like to see the Doctor's total rage, when he founds out who is really responsible. :D

Oh, yes, I want alllll the cracky plotting!

Re: Colorless

[narwhale_callin]

You people and your enabling!

But I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

Re: Colorless

[dragonofmemory]

See? See? I'm totally not the only enabler here. And that obviously means it's a good thing. XD The Doctor's wardrobe must be shrunk!

As to the fashion emergency... Shhhhhhh. Don't let Six hear you. I want to get some sleep tonight and not be kept up by all his ranting. XD

Re: Colorless

[aietradaea]

Noes! Not the coat! D: Oh, Six is awesome... XD I'm sure he'd be the easiest out of all the Doctors for the Master to wind up!

(Hm. I'm sure there used to be a "Master Dry Cleaners" in Wellington...)

Re: Colorless

[narwhale_callin]

There is always the possibility of going tie-dye to save The Coat. For it is prophesied: In the Doctor, the (60s and) 70s will rise again!

There probably was. The Master is globalizing his villainy. 0_0

Thanks for reading!

Re: Colorless

[aietradaea]

Yuss! \o/ Peace, love and the Doctor.

0_0 Oh, he totally is. There's Toclafane in Palmerston North, and Vote Saxon posters on...oh, wait - that would be my house. >,>

Very welcome - thanks for writing, 'twas an enjoyable read! :)

Re: Colorless

[badflameb]

Lol, Six with all his color gone. I think the Master has been very successful. Of course, it helps when you obsess over your enemy and therefore know what would look PERFECT on him lol. Very nice.
