...Hm. This is definitely not what I expected.

[Standing on his star cluster, looking around with arms folded. Body language is tense and alert, but not overly distressed.]

I'm not dead.

Pleasant in that life goes on, sure.

Unpleasant in that I apparently have to face my killer now.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Yes, it clearly didn't go very well for you last time...

Perhaps you can turn things to your advantage? I doubt your murderer knows you're alive.

[acrotomophile]

Let's just say I'm not the type to leave things unresolved. One might call my murderer a traitor, and I'm not - well. Things will get fixed.

[a faint smile]

An admirable attitude. Hopefully they've not wreaked much havoc in the meantime.

[acrotomophile]

Oh, I don't think so. He likes to keep a low profile. [hint of an approving smile, though it has a dark cast]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[his own widens slightly]

Sensible of him. I don't suppose he shared any vital information before he killed you? It's an alarming trend.

[acrotomophile]

...Hm. [eyes narrow] There was something there; you're right.

I feel like I should thank you, and I don't even know your name yet.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[a soft chuckle]

You're quite welcome, regardless.

I'm known as the Doctor, generally. And you?

[acrotomophile]

Rudy Cooper. The Doctor, the Master... I feel a little plain, here.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

You've met the Master, then!

You needn't, really - there are more doctors than Rudy Coopers, I'd wager.

[acrotomophile]

I have, and I gotta say, you're almost as snappy a dresser as he is.

Yup. Just one of me. [somewhat secretive smile]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Why thank you. [and he sweeps off his hat in a brief bow, gaze never leaving Rudy's face]

I've always liked uniqueness.
