[Zeronos staggers away from where he left the ZeroLiner's back car he'll get it back into his own reality eventually, with a bleeding stab wound in his abdomen. He pulls the card out of the belt buckle, and it seems to just dissolve into nothing. He pulls the belt off next, ending the transformation, and revealing Ryotarou as the one underneath the costume — he has a slash wound very close to the previously mentioned stab wound, and he looks in bad shape.]

H-help. Please...

[sighs, slumping a bit] You really don't trust me at all to take care of myself? I've done it for hundreds of years.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No, you've not.

Now, can we bring the television here or am I going to be stuck staring at you until he wakes up?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have.

[aaand he's giving up for now] All right, you can get the telly. ...Can I pick what we watch?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No, you may not.

Stay here while I get it. If you're not here when I come back, I'll just kill our patient there.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[sighs] All right, all right. I'll be here when you get back.

[drums his fingers on the table and will poke at Ryotarou]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[RETURNS WITH TELEVISION!]

Stop poking the patient.

[future televisions are really light-weight, yes they are. So the Master sets it down and sits in front of it]

I'll let you suggest a viewing choice. And if I don't like it I'll pick something else.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I doubt you feel up for cartoons, do you? What about Batman? Or Pirates of the Caribbean?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Pirates. Second movie.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Pirates it is, then.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[they'll just be popping in the film, then. Note the bickering dynamic that will persist, and the running commentary. Also, popcorn/candy/jelly baby theft. And if Ryotarou feels like waking up and joining...]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[And this would be Ryotarou. Waking up. And joining. Sort of. He stirs a little, and his eyes crack open, glancing around the new environment.]

Where...? [Tries to sit up out of instinct, but oooh bad idea, so he lays back down.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[eating popcorn with jelly babies] I always liked Norrington.

[and then he hears Ryotarou and sits up, tipping his head back] There you are! How are you feeling? Wouldn't try to move much yet. That was a lot of blood loss.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I prefer him drunk.

[glances back] Oh good, the corpse is awake. Don't move; the needles will remove themselves.

Probably, anyway.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Glances around, really confused.]

What...? I'm.. [looks between the Doctor and the Master before settling on the Doctor for now] I'm... better. What happened?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[scratches his head] Ah, well. You were losing a lot of blood. I couldn't really do much, sooo-- [nods at the Master] --he helped me bring you back to the TARDIS and get you fixed up.

[pauses] And then we started to watch a movie while waiting for you and that brings us to now.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Quite neatly, actually. Hello again! Hope life-debts don't hold any currency in your culture, or I'll have one on you. Ooh, that'd be nice. Doctor, don't forget that you owe me something too.

[steals the popcorn back and starts eating it]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I... see. [Ryotarou is now very confused because the Master is supposed to be dangerous. But he apparently just saved his life. So, wtf.] Ah... thank you. [Doesn't know what else to say, 'cause seriously. This is so very weird.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

My pleasure! Though really, you should rest for a bit. The healing effect is increased but it's still going to need time.

[and steals a handful of popcorn] Oooh, love this part. Three-way swordfight. Brilliant.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

So relax. No one's going to kill you for at least a little while.

[smacks the Doctor's hand away] Don't steal popcorn.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[... you're so great at that reassurance stuff, Master. Ryotarou gives him a slightly uneasy look, but then nods to the Doctor and tries to relax a little bit more on the table, glancing to the movie.]

What is it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[is pouting about the slap] Hm? Oh! Pirates of the Caribbean 2! Seemed like a good choice.

[will just munch on his jelly babies then]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[eating popcorn. And definitely not sharing]

We're almost done. We're going to watch the 2045 adaptation of War of the Worlds next.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of that before.. [could have something to do with him being from '97]

... 2045? [Oh, right. Time travelers. Duh.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[well he's not sharing jelly babies. Except he hands a few to Ryotarou]

Mhm! Well, technically it's a remake of a remake of a remake but! Still one of the better ones. Can't really go wrong with Wells.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Except when you can.

[is now trying to steal the Jelly Babies]
