05; I'm gonna steal gonna steal [gonna steal your heart]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[having been drawn out of his attempts to take apart some of the furniture to build a timey-wimey detector by the loud frigging BANG from the metal building falling, the Doctor steps out and looks around, surprised to find that he no longer needs his torch-screwdriver. He puts it out and walks around]

Did someone turn back on the lights?

[looks up]

No stars, though. Strange. Well! At least they managed to get rid of all the darkness. Was worried the screwdriver's batteries would wear out.





OOC: Sorry for the delay! Have the Doctor as the "Goddess" of Thieves! He can now see in the dark and steal things as a magical ability (except hearts, he just steals those by being the Doctor). He can also "steal" the truth from someone by demanding it. Let me know if we're playing and you don't want him to know something or obtain something. This is all in fun.

It's like day, now. Don't be ridiculous.

[flinches irritably at the torch]

Really, it's bright enough, you can turn that off.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No, Doctor, it's very very dark. Dark enough that, at times, even self can't see. And if I turn this off, I'll be near blind. That's not something I fancy.

[waving the screwdriver in the Doctor's face, though, he's doing that just to be obnoxious]

Now, you can insist on being thick about it, or you can believe me. Entirely up to you.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I'm not in the mood for your games, Master.

[ugh!]

Give me that.

[he can has?]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[he can has]

...What?? Give me that back!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[stares at the torch a little startled, how did he get that so quick? Shakes it off, he's just awesome, that's why!]

No, stop it. Now that the light's back, we're going to have to work together to get everyone off of the Plane and back to where they belong.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

One: no, the UNIT days are long over. I don't enjoy playing science friends with you. Two: the lights aren't back. It's still dark.

[walks towards the Doctor to get his screwdriver back]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[takes a step back, looking rather puzzled]

The lights are back. I can see you. I can see everything.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[continues towards him]

Well aren't you a special snowflake? I can't. I need that back. So hand it over.

And, while we're here, exactly how did you manage to get it into your hands? Or don't you know that, either?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[and another step back, the Doctor does not like this kthanks]

Your senses are obviously disrupted. You can't see and you move far too slowly. Should get that other self of yours or that other me to take a look at you. Could be something with the Plane.

[if there's stuff behind him, he may be getting close to falling into it]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[well the Master's just going to keep forcing the Doctor to walk backwards, so!]

Oh, that is just like you, isn't it? Someone disagrees, so obviously that person must be wrong. Did it ever occur to you that you might be the one who has changed? Or do you want to pretend, as always, that you're the epitome of all things right, the centre of 'as it must be' and the standard bearer of 'what it ought become'?

I'm not blind; you're able to see, defying logic. And I'm not slow; something changed in you. Are you going to question the fact that my screwdriver vanished from my hand and reappeared in yours, or not?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[and there's his other self's cabinet! He's about to walk into it!]

It didn't vanish, I took it! I watched myself take it!

You just don't want to admit that you could be anything less. Anyone who might surpass you in a skill is the wrong one, the broken one, though you---

[and trip, though instead of falling, he moves inhumanly quickly and is now behind the Master]

[...]

Right, so I might've changed a little bit.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[turns around, arms folded, 'I told you so' etched into his expression]

You are such an idiot. Now give me my screwdriver back.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I'm the idiot? You're the one without your tie.

[he can has? If so, he laughs triumphantly]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[of course! The Master is so not amused]

You stupid-- [resists the urge to just punch the Doctor in the face (barely)]

Oh, it may've altered your vision, but everything else is just as normal. You get the ability to instantaneously translocate objects, and the first thing you do? Try to undress me. You only have to ask, you know. Or are you too shy?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

And when faced with a situation you don't like, you turn it all around into some sort of innuendo. No, you're better off dressed, I think.

[but shoeless! He can has?]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[He can has! He can has anything he likes. If the Doctor hadn't already proved himself ridiculously fast, the Master would have resorted to violence by now]

What, can't you just believe that I'm attracted to you? What tragically low self-esteem you have!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[deadpan] Stolen your screwdriver, tie, shoes, and hearts. I'm on a roll.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

The correct response is "All the better to preach at you with, my dear."

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Right, of course.

The big bad wolf.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Now now, I don't think we were talking about your ex-girlfriend. She is an ex, isn't she? I mean, there are lots of ways to do a break-up, but dumping her off with your half-human double seems like a pretty strange one. I'm not certain if you were trying to shunt her off onto someone else or handing her a goodbye presentt.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

She was never my---and you know there are other ways to taunt me, Master. Honestly. Just because you're jealous that something brilliant happened to me...

[five year old attitude? Oh, what else is new...]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Not very jealous; I'm quite happy with Self's boon.

Your jealousy, though, that's something you need to be more cautious of. Path to the Dark Side, that.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I'm not jealous.

[starts fooling around with the laser screwdriver because it's better to be distracted than to show that he might be jealous at all]

How do you make this work without the isomorphic controls?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You really need to get out of the habit of using your attention deficit to hide your emotions. It doesn't work with me.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

No, really! I want to know.
