11; ffffffff

My, my. I've so many ways to kill the time now. Much better than running some pathetic little planet...

[an exasperated sigh]


I could do with a bloody drink though - but such is life.

[pops in intensely serious] Master, sir! I want to ask you some questions!

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Yes, Miss Hashimoto?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

What do you do at home when you're not here on the Astral Plain? [pulls up a electronic word pad to write down his answer]

[demnify.livejournal.com]

An interview, is it?


Well... I'm a leader, of sorts. You could say I'm in charge of the whole planet I'm on.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Someone asked me what people do in their free time and I didn't know. So I thought I'd find out.

Wow! You're the leader of an entire planet?? That's pretty amazing! It must keep you busy.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[a chuckle] Nothing against that, I suppose.


Not really. It isn't a technologically advanced planet, and the race there is- easy for me to keep under 'control', so to speak.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[ponders that; icon scares the muse, btw] Ohh, so it's kind of backwater? And what sort of people are there? How'd you end up in charge? Do they just like you a lot?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Very backwater. No technology to speak of. Stone and bone weapons are what they are capable of.

As for people - anthropomorphic cheetahs.

I took charge because I was able to dominate them. The strongest one leads.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's really backwater. It must be frustrating for an advanced, uh, person of your species.

Oh, I see, so they act like cheetahs, too? So you're like a tribe leader?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

It is, thoroughly. Being around a good deal of technology all your lives and then denied it - mmm, I'm certain you can guess as to how it is to adapt.


In part. They growl, hiss, purr, hunt, fight, dispute over territory. They can speak, certainly, and they were once part of an intelligent and advanced race... but they've devolved into their current barbaric state.


And... you could call me that, I suppose.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Maybe someone here can help you with technology.

That must be kind of strange. Do you like being with Cheetah people? Oh! What about fun? What do you do for that?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

While it would be nice, I quite doubt anyone will. No matter.

It is, and no, I do not.


For fun? I don't have fun on that planet. I haven't had fun there for a long time.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[frowns] I could help! Japan has some pretty good technology.

[and that statement didn't make her happy either] You should do something just for fun.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[interested] Would you, now?


[he sighs] There isn't much to do there, Miss Hashimoto.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

I could try. [and now she has to sound like she isn't just helping out of the goodness of her heart] B-Because Japan's current technology is way ahead of anything else on Earth right now. Daikoku happens to be the major center of development, too. Megamas, the glasses company? Is based here. So I can probably get a hold of something good.

[frowns] We should try to think of something! Maybe I'll have my agency work on it since cases are slow right now.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

That would be greatly appreciated. Though, unfortunately, unless things run on a remote and rechargeable energy source, I would still be out of luck. No electricity on this planet either.


[he laughs a bit] You lot must be bored as well then, I take.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I can probably rig something up. The glasses seem to work all right but I'll have to test them a bit more. But we can figure something out.

School can get very boring. And everyone else seems pretty busy. So I don't mind.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

As I said, it would be greatly appreciated. ...Glasses?


Too advanced for your school, or just boring materials?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[look who appears with a bottle in his hand]

You certainly deserve a more worthy domain. At least somewhere with wine.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[taps her glasses] These! They're wireless computers that are also hooked up to a virtual reality field. Really handy. I pretty much never take them off.

[sighs] Just not a lot of free time between regular school and cram school and summer school...It's a lot of work.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[the Master smirks]

Heh. What would I do without your timely arrival, hmm?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Now that's interesting... I take it they've a very high processing speed. I'd love to know the specifics sometime.

Ahhhh. I can imagine.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[he smirks back, gently tossing the bottle towards him]

Wallow in self-pity?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[and he catches it with ease]

Come now, my dear Doctor. I'm not that sort of man.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[openly grinning, now, as his hands clasp behind his back]

Not even for me?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he opens it, grinning as well]

The truth is sometimes depressing.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[his eyes glint as he watches]

Only sometimes?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Oh, some truths are quite enjoyable.

[he takes a swig from the bottle, then pauses, mulls over it]

Gallifreyan? Haven't had anything from Gallifrey in a long while.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Oh? Have you any examples?

[a slight shrug, smirk fading]

I thought you might enjoy it.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

They're definitely very high tech and amazing. With pretty much no lag, too. [proud? why yes she is] I'd be happy to give you a rundown sometime.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[the Master just grins at him, says absolutely nothing on the matter of truths and moves on in the conversation]


I'm grateful, actually. Not much one can get on a planet that has yet to even figure out the wheel.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[the Doctor shakes his head at the absence, though he grins as well]

I'm glad.

Perhaps you should do it for them. I think they have fire covered.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he takes another drink from the bottle, before idly offering it to the Doctor]

I doubt they would find use in it. Odds are they would see it as little more than a toy.
