Well. This is certainly interesting.

I'll assume the rest of you were taken from your regular environments, after encountering a shop you'd never noticed before?

A nexus point, perhaps. I wonder if we've anything in common, or if this is merely a random sampling.

Whatever the method or motive, I'm not fond of being interrupted. I don't suppose any of you have discovered a way of removing yourselves?

Well, now! Isn't this interesting! [a sort of amused growl] Whatever is going on obviously isn't limited to the present time line...

My dear, dear Doctor. How pleasant it is to see you; though I must question the change in attire. Last you were alive, you were decked in beige.

...Mmm. Perhaps I ought to be so kind as to answer your question? Towards a shop and twins, along with 'Meredith'? Yes.

Yes, uh, you just.. do it. You don't think about it, you just... go back.

[his eyebrows rise, just slightly; genuine surprise that doesn't touch a faintly amused voice]

Thank you, first of all; it's always nice to affirm a theory.

Now, I appear to be at a disadvantage; you seem to know me, yet I've never seen you in my lives. I certainly can't recall wearing beige for an extended period of time.

...Really?

[a pause; he disappears; he reappears]

Well, the object clearly isn't to hold us here. You've my thanks, Mister...?

[call this a version of circling, a predatory, amused glint to his yellow eyes]

You are most welcome, Doctor.

Don't play the fool with me, nor attempt at some sort of insult. You know well enough who I am, we've been at each other's throats for many a century. Though, of course, you never wore black - an alternate timeline, perhaps?

Tyler, Sam Tyler. It's not a problem. May I have your name, sir?

[his expression never wavers as he turns; relaxed, calculated movement]

It's certainly possible; in fact it seems the likeliness explanation, save you suffering under some sort of delusion. I'm certain I'd remember you otherwise.

I'll give you a bit of a hint then.

[a pause, in which he flashes his fangs in a twisted grin]

We were at Academy together.

Of course; that's only fair, isn't it?

Doctor John Smith. It's a pleasure, Mr. Tyler.

[his features tighten, just slightly; his brow furrows as he takes a small step closer]

You're not Koschei.

[he purrs in satisfaction]

No, not anymore. I haven't gone by that name since... my 300s? 400s? Doesn't matter. I've a new name, now.

Good to meet you too, Doctor Smith.

[he allows a faint, wry smile to twist his lips]

Do you? Would you mind sharing it?

The Master.

It is a fitting and apt name.

This experience isn't entirely a waste of time, then.

((We now return you to your regularly scheduled Doctor. *fails*))

It lacks a certain subtlety, but I imagine that's the point?

When I choose to give it, I've usually cast down my facades...

[a slight smirk]

Those with less knowledge may think you presumptuous...

I imagine such façades have become more difficult, of late?

Those with less knowledge may find their opinions to be that of fools.

Indeed, though I've no cause to use them now. Unfortunate circumstances, I'm certain you understand.

'suppose not, no.

[ooc; ♥]

Now, now; ignorance doesn't immediately equate to idiocy.

I've been in the midst of many. Might I ask how this transformation came to be?

Were you in the midst of anything important, before arriving here?

Just solving a case. A blag, not even armed. Nothing big. Were you, Doctor?

[his smile widens]

Law enforcement, then. In fact I was doing something rather similar - solving a mystery, of sorts.

I never said 'idiocy', I said 'fools'. After all, a man ignorant is more apt to make mistakes and be easily manipulated than one who is not so.

Predisposition to madness? Seeing everything I had even a slightest bit of affection or fondness to become little more than ruinous tatters? Dying in rapid succession? There are so many applicable explanations - but perhaps none apply...

As to these? [he pleasantly flashes his canines] Just a virus I picked up on the last planet I was on. Nothing more.
