First Trip [Video]

Jun 21, 2011 19:13

[Here's someone new to the city. He's skinny, fairly handsome, not ginger... and wearing 3-D glasses for god knows what reason. And the look of confusion on his face isn't making him look any less goofy right now. But then everyone knows that Adstring is a veritable symphony of time-space shenanigans... and they've got The Doctor completely ( Read more... )

1/2 [anonymous text message] soundsofdrums June 21 2011, 23:19:57 UTC

[x,y]

2/2 [action] And yes, I had to do this. soundsofdrums June 21 2011, 23:26:26 UTC

[The Master could sense him the moment he arrived. In his mind, and even his scent. It was almost jarring, but the most pleasant surprise that he could think of. He's grinning almost wildly now, standing in the rain, not even caring about getting his favorite suit soaked through. He'd fired off the coordinates to the Doctor along with a name he hadn't used in a very long time.

Now, he waited. Patience.

Better make sure that his fellow Time Lord knew where he was going, just in case. The Master picks up a pipe lying around nearby before glancing around. It's not long until he spots a large, metal storage drum laying on the ground. He picks it up, sets it upright, and gives it a look before banging it with the pipe.

One, two, three, four.

Again.

One. Two. Three. Four. One, two, three, four, onetwothreefour.]

[He was taking his time. Better to not go rushing in with a message like that being the first thing to reach him here. The urge to start running increases when he hears the banging.

So the Master was here too... which only made things more confusing, considering where he should be.

poker faced and moving with a deliberate stride, the Doctor rounded a corner to see his former friend standing there, banging on an old oil drum.]

...Well isn't this familiar.

[He tossed the pipe aside as soon as he caught sight of him. After weeks of waiting... There he was. Perfect, just so incredibly perfect.]

Doctor. I knew you'd show up here sooner than later.

[Offline] molto_ten_e June 22 2011, 00:18:45 UTC

Master. Of all the people in the universe, I believe you're one of the last few I expected to meet here.

[He looks... curious. Curious about how someone on the wrong side of a Time Lock is standing in front of him... and why that someone seems so excited to see him. Sure their last encounter ended on an oddly friendly note, but there's something... different, here.

Re: [Offline] soundsofdrums June 22 2011, 00:23:13 UTC

[What could he say? He missed him so! And oh, he loved it when he said his name.]

You of all people ought to know that I never stay dead.

[Offline] molto_ten_e June 22 2011, 00:52:23 UTC

No, of course not. If the Daleks and Cybermen can manage it, I certainly wouldn't put it past you.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

But dodging the reaper, even after suppressing your regeneration, is trivial compared to escaping a Time Lock. And with your wits intact. Well... as intact as they ever were, at least.

[Offline] soundsofdrums June 22 2011, 00:55:07 UTC

[Wait, what?]

...Time Lock?

[Offline] molto_ten_e June 22 2011, 12:06:00 UTC

Of course! Unless you somehow managed to make an escape before it closed back around Rassilon and the others. Not that I wouldn't put it past you...

but you seemed rather preoccupied at the time. [What with burning up the last of your life-force to get revenge for Rassilon's drum beat skullfuckery.]

Re: [Offline] soundsofdrums June 22 2011, 13:29:54 UTC

Rassilon? What in the hell are you going on about? You said that the Time Lords were dead.

[Offline] molto_ten_e June 22 2011, 14:01:45 UTC

[Give him a moment while he stares at you like you've just regenerated with a second head.]

You... What?

No... You were there! Well... maybe I should say you will be there?

[Offline] soundsofdrums June 22 2011, 14:04:02 UTC

[This... No. There were the things that girl said to him, back in that other city, but the couldn't have been true. ...Were they?]

The last thing I recall is your tear-streaked, pathetic face begging me not to go, as I oh so dramatically died in your arms.

Are you saying that you're from my future? ... [His voice grows serious] Start talking. Now.

[Offline] molto_ten_e June 22 2011, 14:24:31 UTC

[Oh, he remembers that. And that wasn't exactly fair of you, Master.]

I don't know, wouldn't want to give you too many spoilers. Not to mention, you didn't ask very nicely.

[Offline] soundsofdrums June 22 2011, 14:25:50 UTC

[In a moment, his laser screwdriver is out of his pocket, aimed at the Doctor. Remember this? It's still got your genetic code, Doctor.]

Talk.

[Offline] molto_ten_e June 22 2011, 14:55:19 UTC

[Oh right.]

Well since you decided to be so polite about it...

Rassilon used you to try and get the Time Lords and all of Gallifrey out of the time lock. Those "drums" you keep going on about? Retroactively planted in your head by the President to give them a low-level link to the rest of the universe.

[Offline] soundsofdrums June 22 2011, 14:59:22 UTC

[The Master is silent for a while.]

No. That can't-- The drums-- They're real. They're real. [And he just starts laughing.] Oh, they're real! I'm not as insane as you thought!

[But the knowledge that they were PUT there isn't exactly something that makes him happy.]
