{006} - [Action / Voice] - What's that look for?

Jun 08, 2010 02:23

[And so it seems the Malnosso have finished whatever experimentation they had planned for the renegade Time Lord this time around. Oddly enough, he doesn't seem to be all that put off. He's made it down from the mountains with nary a scratch. All that seems off is that he appears a little lost and confused - like someone trying to find their way ( Read more... )

experimentation, status update, the doctor may be a little confused, i love my sonic screwdriver, where's my sonic screwdriver?, free for now

[Timey senses and the Doctor's voice on the journals. The Master had been taking a break from searching, scent cold and all that--though he is not giving up--and now he's alert again. The Doctor is back. Although he's not entirely sure what he wants to do about that. He wasn't in it to save him, not really. And the Doctor sounds fine now. Still...it would be worth it to discover what exactly the Malnosso tend towards. Research.]

What did they do to you?

[Voice] im_brilliant June 8 2010, 22:02:43 UTC

[Yeah, the Doctor is frighteningly cheerful today. More so than normal. As if he totally had not just been abducted or anything. No, not at all.]

Oh, nothing! Nothing at all! I'm perfectly fine. Suppose they just wanted to do some basic behavioral observations. [Lies.]

[Voice] realivewire June 8 2010, 22:06:32 UTC

[Blink and frown on this side, unobservably. The Master stands up from his desk and walks out of his flat and down the stairs. The Time Lord signature is really strong because it just started occurring again.]

Did they? That's lucky.

[Voice] im_brilliant June 8 2010, 22:14:21 UTC

[The Doctor will just be all... splayed across the steps. They are oddly comfortable, and cool in the summer heat. Idiot doesn't seem to want to take off the coat. So step-splaying it is.]

Quite right. Could've been worse - a lot worse. Least I'm back all in one piece!

[Action] realivewire June 8 2010, 22:40:54 UTC

[The Master is at the front door, about to respond, when he sees the Doctor, lying there. So he flips his journal shut, exits the building and leans down to flip the Doctor's journal shut as well.]

Are you? [He crouches down.] They tested my stamina when I was gone. I believe it was something to do with the sort of things a Time Lord can withstand. The levels of it and so on. Jenny was abducted around the same time and came back with the drums. And then you disappear shortly after and you expect me to believe they studied your behaviour? They can do that just as well or better when you're here.

[Action] im_brilliant June 8 2010, 22:52:19 UTC

[Oh look, a lap. Hi lap. You are now being used as a pillow.]

I assure you, I'm perfectly fine. Just a bit of a headache is all. And... Oh, blimey... Are you making it worse? Stop that.

[Action] realivewire June 8 2010, 22:55:05 UTC

[The Master raises his hands up sarcastically.]

I'm not doing anything. What did they do?

[Action] im_brilliant June 8 2010, 23:05:31 UTC

[And the Doctor balls up like he's in the worst pain of his life. Oh dear.]

Nothing! It's nothing. Just a sodding headache...but, I mean it. If you're doing something, just, please, knock it off.

[Action] realivewire June 8 2010, 23:11:20 UTC

[Snaaarl.] I'm not. [And then he's pissed enough to put his hands back down to hold the Doctor's head.] It's not just a headache, is it?

[Action] im_brilliant June 8 2010, 23:20:41 UTC

[Whoa, whoa, wait - what is this touching... Oh, fine. Whatever. Too much pain.]

Just stop it. Please. I'm begging you. Make it stop.

[And telepathically he should see flash after flash of the Doctor's memories ranging from the Academy days all throughout his life to the present whooshing by out of order but at a rapid-fire rate. But they're very specific - none of them good. All of them some of the most horrible things he's ever done and so painful that the emotional pain has boiled over into a more physical state. Thus resulting in a screaming headache.]

[Action] realivewire June 8 2010, 23:33:52 UTC

[...ooh. But this makes you INTERESTING, Doctor! This is all stuff he can respect you for--well. Mostly. He half-shuts his eyes to concentrate at the first wave of it but eventually opens them again to look down at the Doctor. Upside-down. Because his head is in his lap.] What are they trying to prove? [He tries to go properly into the Doctor's head though, to try and muffle the effect. Maybe find the source of the forced memories. Just to see if he can.]

[Action] im_brilliant June 8 2010, 23:42:33 UTC

[There's a few repressed memories of being in a room with bright lights, and wires, and computer related mumbo-jumbo - probably the Malnosso. But they're buried in the inferno of the many things that have made him feel like one of the worst beings in the entire universe. Namely places he'd destroyed, people he killed, things like that.]

Perhaps they're trying to put me in my proper place. [Half-shrug. In the process of the ow ow ow, one of his hands came up to grip the Master's shirt.] Hm. Whatever you're doing now, it seems to be helping.

[Action] realivewire June 9 2010, 00:40:52 UTC

[It's nice. The Doctor's facade is broken down and he's really not as different as he'd like to think. The Master appreciates this, he really does. It's like a present, sort of. That and Jenny's drums making the Doctor accept the drums, even if he was awful about that too. It's enough to make him smile slightly.]

Your proper place? Which is where? [He looks down at the hand on his shirt a tad impassively and then goes back to fixing some sort of muffling device into the Doctor's head. It's helping? Actually?] Of course it is.

[Action] im_brilliant June 9 2010, 01:08:56 UTC

[The pain is starting to go down a bit. enough so that he can actually move a little. Now he adjusts himself so he's sitting on the Master's lap - not even caring how weird it looks. He's still in pain, and his brain is doing funny things. The Doctor doesn't like this.]

...I don't know. I don't know what they wanted. Probably got tired of the 'hero act'. Tried to remind me that I'm not a good person. [He might have started to believe this too, just a little.] Perhaps they're right.

[Action] realivewire June 9 2010, 01:35:40 UTC

[Yeesh. Fine for now, because he'd rather like to poke about a bit in the Doctor's head without him properly noticing, at the same time as he tacks in the damper as best he can. He can't find whatever is prompting the flood to take it out so this is only a quickfix, really. But if his legs fall asleep he is pushing him off.]

You put too much stock in binaries. Good and evil people. I'm helping you right now, aren't I?

[Action] im_brilliant June 9 2010, 02:21:03 UTC

[This is probably the best chance he;ll ever have to poke around the Doctor's mind. Because even if the pain is subsiding, he doesn't particularly care what the Master does with him. So long as he doesn't try to hurt him again. His shoulder had only just gotten better the other day.]

That's because I'd be useless to you otherwise if I'm constantly rolling about like a madman. You can't have me in agony you didn't personally cause. [He sounds like he's rolling his eyes but he isn't.] You're not inherently evil, you just like to be in control.

But...[Aww, that frustrated whining noise is so cute, Doctor.] I try so hard to be good and do the right thing. But things always bugger up or people act stupid and I have to...do things. But maybe. Maybe they're right. Perhaps I'm just fooling myself. I'm no better than you are.

[With a sigh, the Doctor nuzzles his head under the Master's chin and sulks there, taking comfort in the familiar scent of there being another of his own kind present.]
