Voice ---> Video | Life handed us a paycheck and we said, "... We worked harder than this!"

[pawnofrassilon]

[There's the sound of rustling far too close to a microphone, as if a thumb is being rubbed across it, mixed with ambient noise. The thudding of heavy footsteps and heavier breathing, the clatter of a glass bottle, the squeaking of some unholy thing in the dark. In fact, it sounds suspiciously like the Master is butt-dialing you

You know the Doctor?

[pawnofrassilon]

[Well, imagine his surprise when that white point star he threw suddenly spits out a projection of text sideways onto the nearest wall. The Master crawls over to it and picks it back up, his image sliding left and right as he turns the diamond in his hand thoughtfully.]

Who wants to know?

[Expected response; but he can't be that friendly if he's wary right off the bat. Not that his unintentional introduction to the port didn't prove that already.]

Someone who knows him.

[pawnofrassilon]

Oh? That narrows it down.

[The Master settles back against the wall.]

He's here, isn't he?

[hisoldgirl]

[oh Master. there's so many conflicting emotions, so many memories and thoughts and a jumble of pasts and presents and futures that it's difficult to keep track. there's love and hate and pity and fear -- she almost doesn't say anything, but what would that accomplish?

so she settles on one word. one simple, entirely too complex word]

Master.

[pawnofrassilon]

[The Master lifts his chin a little, flattered and suspicious.]

Ah. There's someone who knows how to address me properly.

Go on. Show yourself. No fair hiding.

audio;

[hisoldgirl]

[she considers changing to video, but she's too used to hiding from him]

It is your name, after all.

[see how she ignores that second part?]

[pawnofrassilon]

Tell me yours and we'll be even.

[deservesabone]

...You sound like you need some help.

[you know, of the mental variety.]

[pawnofrassilon]

Well, I did say I could use a Doctor. [He grins, like that should be funny for some reason]

[deservesabone]

Yeah, I caught that part.

If you do need some medical, I could call an ambulance for you.

Oh dear, I am already getting him into trouble

[pawnofrassilon]

By all means. [He could use a little snack.]

[regeneratesalot]

Are you okay? [ sweet lord what just happened. ]

[pawnofrassilon]

Do I look okay?

video

[regeneratesalot]

No.

[pawnofrassilon]

[He thinks on that a moment, watching her.]

No, I don't. Do I?

But you, on the other hand...

[He grins.]

You look delicious.

[Voice]

[bloodthirsts]

Excuse me, um, sir, do you need some help?

video

[pawnofrassilon]

[He cocks his head as if thinking it over]

You know... I think I do. Why don't you come help me?

[video]

[bloodthirsts]

[she switches to video and it is so unnerving when he says that, she'll be getting her more proper former-police demeanour on now]

Where are you? If you're injured I can take you to the hospital. You're also going to need to find shelter before it gets dark.

[video]

[pawnofrassilon]

And why's that?
