[The Master is lying sideways on a couch in his living room, shirtsleeves undone and rolled up, legs curled up towards him and back, elbow leaning on the arm of the couch. He looks relaxed, wearing only a white dress shirt and black trousers, his tie hanging loosely, haphazardly around his neck. He hasn't noticed that he's being filmed. In one of ( Read more... )

[The Master glares back at the screen, at Luke, not trusting himself to be able to get over to it to shove it away without falling. He's beyond being smooth or polite at this point. He speaks darkly, and a little breathlessly.]

I suppose I'm expected to not regard this as spying? Considering as you're being so kind as to be obvious about it.

I do apologize. My coordination is a bit shaky; hit the wrong PDA button by accident.

[Trying to pull himself together]

You can hardly be held accountable.

[Former hitman scrutinizes the wound's position and speed of bleeding]

Should I bother alerting the staff? Can't guarantee if they'll arrive in a timely fashion.

[The wound is gradually increasing in depth as they speak, tracing the bullet-hole directly through the Master's heart.]

Ngh.

[He laughs humorlessly, teetering on the edge of breaking down.]

[A little rudely] Well that's lucky.

Re: two-way video valentineluke November 21 2009, 05:17:31 UTC

[ignores the tone] True luck is the hospital's food being somewhat palatable.

[He sighs, giving in.]

Something to look forward to, I suppose.

[His expression registers hopelessness.]

Not in terms of excitement, obviously. Only inevitability. This would be easier if the City weren't determined to make me live this out exactly as before. Only alone.

Re: two-way video neverendingbeat November 21 2009, 05:45:36 UTC

Mm.

[He ponders this.]

True.

[Looking up and around him, he sees his jacket, and therefore, laser screwdriver, all the way over draped on a chair in the kitchen and his expression hardens.]

If they weren't blocking my regenerative ability I'd...

Perhaps as a last resort.
