[The Master crouches in front of his device, the screen and camera tilted up somewhat. It's still dark out, so his face is lit only by a combination of the screen, and by flickering lights off to the right.]

It took me long enough. Right! So: barrier to the left-- [He turns the screen, revealing strange flickering tears in what seems to be the air

You fell in.

[neverendingbeat]

It pulled me in.

[iactmore]

I went to have a look and it didn't pull at me.

[neverendingbeat]

Lucky you.

[iactmore]

Is that your home? It looks rather like a castle.

[neverendingbeat]

It's just the current...design. It's actually a spacetime ship. But yes, it is a facsimile of my home.

[iactmore]

A spaceship, really? Now that's interesting.

[neverendingbeat]

It would be more interesting if it were real.

[iactmore]

Well, of course, but I've never seen a spaceship before.

[neverendingbeat]

Ah. I see. Well then...

[He is in front of the screen but steps back and away from it, leaving her view open.]

...look all you like.

[She gazes about in wonder. You'll have to forgive her, she's from the Edwardian era, you see. She's only ridden on a car once.]

So are you an alien, then?

[The Master doesn't mind. This is FUN. He likes being and having things that are objects of wonder. He walks back into view of the camera, grinning.]

Yes. A Time Lord. From Gallifrey.

[iactmore]

And you can't figure out how to get out of here?

[Suddenly she doesn't look very impressed.]

[He raises his eyebrows at her, still smirking.]

Now, now. Conclusion jumper. The Doctor was here for much longer than I was and it took him months. I'm still not entirely certain he left of his own volition.
I'm clever, yes, but I've been marooned here without any of my tools. I'm having to rebuild them out of anything that I find, in between bouts of having my heart ripped out, being killed and finding myself trapped in a false reality. Not to mention my lack of a real TARDIS.

Video; he makes the best faces lol; strikes thoughts

[iactmore]

[She considers this.]

I guess so. I haven't had much luck either. Not without my magic.

That Doctor person is from your world, I suppose?

Video; You think THAT'S a good face, look at my most recent icon in Userpics. Can't stop laughing...

[neverendingbeat]

Yes. He was here up until recently but I suppose you didn't ever meet him, then.
