[The Master is looking completely serious for once, his face lit only by the screen of his network device.]

Right. City residents? Don't go outside. Trust me. Unless you have some new, interesting statues in your flat, in which case, keep an eye on them. Literally. Don't stop looking at them, not for a moment. The Doctor's outlined it all quite

You mean you aren't gonna sleep a wink?

[neverendingbeat]

I barely sleep anyway. It's a waste of time that could be spent doing something useful.

[shewashuman]

Like finding a way to trick these things into looking at eachother?

[neverendingbeat]

Ah, now, that would be ideal. But it's difficult. Especially if there's only one at the moment.

[shewashuman]

What about a mirror? I could help...

[neverendingbeat]

A mirror could work momentarily. But it's not a long-term solution.
Don't leave your flat, Rose. I don't want you getting hurt.

[shewashuman]

But it's something.

Harry...What if they get you? Then what? I don't want you hurt.

[neverendingbeat]

I'm a Time Lord, Rose. I'll be all right. You, on the other hand, and not to treat you like the Doctor would, but you're human. I have eleven more lives. You have only one. Besides, I've learned a trick or two.
It does involve trying to stop this Weeping Angel from breaking my window at the moment but it should be fine. I'll get the bathroom mirror. Or perhaps I can temporally lock it... It's never worked before but given enough time, who knows?

[shewashuman]

It always comes down to that doesn't it?

Human.

Harry! Don't blink. Try, erm. See you need someone there!

[neverendingbeat]

I'm sorry, Rose, I really am. Obviously I can't stop you from making your own decisions. If it were anything but the Weeping Angels, I'd think of you as completely capable. But if you come over here, that will just be putting you in danger along with me.

I've retreated to the bathroom for now. As soon as I hear glass smashing, I'll be ready.

[shewashuman]

You're worse than--

. . .

Alright, yeah. Think it's...Oh. God.

Please just stay safe. Promise me?

[neverendingbeat]

I'm worse? Like I said, not preventing you. You have free will to do what you like. I would just prefer that you not purposefully endanger yourself but being an autonomous life-form you have the right to do whatever you so choose.

[neverendingbeat]

That said, all right, yes, I promise.
It hasn't broken the window yet, so I'm still just as safe as when I went into the bathroom in the first place...

[shewashuman]

I'm sorry. I didn't--

[shewashuman]

Good. I'll be holding you to it then.

Maybe you'll get lucky and it'll move away...Or find another target.

[neverendingbeat]

Or maybe it will appear behind me not unlike a horror movie.
I'm joking, of course. I should be fine.
