Like fire! Hellfire! [this fire in my skin]

[the Master skids to a halt when he appears on the Astral Plane, having apparently come in running. He immediately straightens out his clothing before addressing the Plane]

Right, so! Pompeii: very lacking in Super Soaker outlets. Anyone have a water gun handy?

[Patting down his pockets] Haven't got one on me, but-- hold on.

[He disappears from the Plane, and a beat or two later, reappears, armed with two water pistols] . . . Admittedly not very super, but they're the best I could manage under the circumstances.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Can't expect anything of a noticable size from you, can I? Well, hand 'em over.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

[Tosses them over] . . . I like those ones, by the way. I'd better get both of those back in one piece.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

And I'll bring them home before midnight.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Not a minute later. I'm keeping track, mate.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I promise to use protection.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

As long as you remember that it's not the size that matters, but how you use it.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Keep telling yourself that, Doctor, because I don't think Rose believes it.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

I was talking more about the water pistols and the conservation of water, you know.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You're saying Rose doesn't believe in conserving water?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

-- Her showers do tend to last a while.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

She uses a lot of shampoo.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, I've noticed.

-- Don't mean to spoil the fun that is this conversation, but d'you really have time to chit-chat?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Eh, time stops while I'm here.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Well, as long as I'm not keeping you.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you were bothered by the idea of keeping me.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Mostly bothered by the idea of my other self in danger while you're chatting away.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You think he can't manage on his own?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Well, you arrived asking for water pistols, which only leads me to assume that he didn't have one on him.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

He has one. It's about this big. [holds up to show]

Not going to hold off an army of them, I'll tell you that.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

You only really need to delay them, anyway, yeah?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Until the bit where I'm supposed to 'strap in,' according to Miss Noble.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . Strap what?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I don't know, she was very cryptic.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Well. She clearly didn't want to give away any spoilers.
