021 - Let's Play Doctor!

Aug 10, 2008 09:42

A bright new day on the Barge! And how are you all feeling, my little lovesick darlings? As amorous as ever? Love is so... sickening beautiful.

...Doctor, I--

...

Well. Lucky me, I'm unaffected by this turn of events. It seems I must remain the detached observer.

[OOC: Strikes are just scribbled out. Still keeping whether or not he's ( Read more... )

flood: love, affected? unaffected? who knows!

[And the Doctor gets a full-blown grin in return]

Ohh, you know me too well. [He holds up his other hand and wiggles his fingers]

So, I'm free now, aren't I? That's enough for the Admiral?

[He drops his hand and moves it to rub the back of his head.] Suppose we'll find out, won't we? Seems he's the higher authority here, as much as it pains me to say so.

Mmhm. And that voice... I know it. [He pauses, then shrugs and bounds over to the door]

Open! [He declares this with a little flourish, then tries to open the door... to no avail. He sighs, turns, and leans back against it, glaring at the Doctor] This might have worked better if you hadn't locked it with your screwdriver.

[action spam] doctorate August 15 2008, 04:54:35 UTC

[The Doctor laughs -- he can't really help it. It must've been the flourish that set him off.] You act as though I had this planned out from the beginning.

[He goes over to the door and pulls the sonic screwdriver from his pocket, flashing it at the lock. That done, he flips it up into the air and catches it (an old habit, but it was such an impressive one, he felt).] That should do it, then. If not, try adding a "Sesame" this time.

[action spam] soundof_drums August 15 2008, 05:04:20 UTC

Show off.

[He rolls his eyes and turns to open the door again] I think I've got it, thanks. [No flourish, no declarations this time. The Master simply turns the knob and...]

[SUCCESS!]

Doctor, I could kiss you! [He turns, eyes alight, then... his face falls into abject horror and revulsion] That was the flood. [Pause] Speaking. Right then. Not me.

[The Doctor just stares at the Master for the longest time, his eyes wide with-- surprise? Shock? Terror? It's hard to tell, but whatever it is, it's enough to strike him speechless. And then--]

Re: [action spam] doctorate August 15 2008, 05:12:54 UTC

[-- he's back to laughing.]

Oh-- oh, I knew it! You're just as affected as the rest of 'em!

[action spam] soundof_drums August 15 2008, 05:18:45 UTC

[The Master stiffens-- not in the dirty dirty way that the other inmates are. He raises his chin in defiance]

I'm not. Time Lords are above such emotional manipulations.

[But then he realizes that the alternative to being affected is: an admission that this is how he always feels? Ew. That can't be right. He honestly couldn't tell the difference between love and hate, so he really wouldn't know if he's affected or not]

[And so, the Master sighs and picks the lesser of two evils]

Fine. Perhaps I'm affect-- GO AWAY.

[action spam] doctorate August 15 2008, 05:28:53 UTC

[Oh, but the Doctor doesn't leave, of course. Instead, he's on the balls of his feet, bouncing and positively grinning. It's a remarkable change from only moments before, but the Doctor is nothing if not adaptable -- and just a bit hyperactive.]

Oh, come on, just admit it. You fa~ncy me. [He speaks in a sing-song voice and then pauses almost thoughtfully.] Well, who could blame you? It's me, after all, and I'm both generally and specifically brilliant.

[action spam] soundof_drums August 15 2008, 05:42:27 UTC

Never! You are-- [He takes a deep breath] Irritating, appalling, loathsome, entirely too chatty, weak, insufferable, and I absolutely, positively hate your rubbish sense of fashion!

It's just-- wishful thinking on your part. Ohhh, you'd like for me to be affected, wouldn't you? A victory to lord over-- oh, you think I'd be docile and cooperative if I fancied you, welllll--

[Okay, he's just ranting now.]

[action spam] doctorate August 15 2008, 05:48:51 UTC

[Silently, the Doctor listens to the Master reciting all of his faults -- all of which were completely unfounded (there was absolutely nothing wrong with his fashion sense!). But when the Master pauses for breath, the Doctor cuts in with--]

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

[action spam] soundof_drums August 15 2008, 05:51:35 UTC

[The Master stops and stares at him. And then, in a shout:]

I DO NOT FANCY YOU!

[If the Doctor won't leave him be, well then fine! He'll do it himself! And so, the Master does the ever so mature thing of... turning and bolting out the door.]

[He'll just... lay low. Ignore the Doctor until the flood's over. And then-- then everything would be back to normal.]

[action spam] doctorate August 15 2008, 06:07:08 UTC

[Suffice it to say, the Doctor is amazed when the Master escapes down the hall -- and that only sets him off again, with an entirely dignified snort and an elegant "Pfffffthahahahaha--!"

It takes a few cathartic minutes of the Doctor laughing at the situation -- and blimey is it a hilarious one -- before he can collect himself enough to step out of the room and shut the door behind him. Another second, and he finally wanders off towards his room, grinning the entire way.

He'd let the Master find him later, as he usually did. And he had the distinct feeling that that was going to be a riot.]
