doctor who (d5) tardis

(no subject)

[the TARDIS is back on the Plane, sitting in her own little quiet corner, wearing the dress Ten.One got her waaaaaaaaaaay back when for Christmas (look, I found it!). BUT ANYHOW, yes. she's on the Plane, contemplative, because our dear old TARDIS is having a moral dilemma in regards to Diva's death. yes, you read that correctly. she's actually kinda sad the vampire is gone and she doesn't understand why, considering the lack of love between them. so she's sitting, and thinking, and trying to work out why she cares]

{Smiles devilishly, even laughing gently} Miss TARDIS, you don't really want to tempt me with that kind of offer. I wouldn't have to really hurt you, you know? It'd be such a shame.

Then why mourn her passing? Even if you're mistaken to think vampires so useless, that makes it strange to be...sad about one's passing.

[shivers a little and shifts farther from him] Do you know how to do anything other than harm?

[narrows her eyes, then turns away again] I do not mourn her passing.

Of course. I didn't lie when I said that I love you. The same goes for Esther, of course.

{Smiles~} Then why mope as if you were?

You do not love me. You do not know how to love.

[affronted] I am not moping.

You can think what you want about that, Miss TARDIS. I'm aware that the feeling won't be returned, so there's not really a need to insist otherwise.

Then merely thinking about why a vampire's death bother you?

[sighs] You would not understand.

Obviously not. That's why I'm asking.

And I choose not to tell you. I have no reason to grant you that knowledge.

{Sighs, putting a hand to his temple before taking a few steps closer} Really? I would think that you'd have excellent motivation to tell me of your own will rather than me forcing it out of you.

[steps back. she's prideful, but not stupid -- well, sometimes] You will remain a safe distance from me and cease your attempts to force me to talk.

Miss TARDIS, I've already made my point. You've been in my control, been my puppet, so you, better than anyone here, knows what I'm capable of. Let me just say that my strings, they work just the same as any bacteria. Any person you touched, Miss TARDIS, they're now infected as well.

{Nonchalantly, as he curls a strand of his hair idly} So I would hope that an intelligent person such as yourself could understand what that implies.

If you had any desire to use those strings against another, you would have done so by now. Threatening me with them will get you no farther than asking me directly.

{Laughs} You really think that's how I "work"? I'm hardly a fighter, Miss TARDIS, so I don't create unnecessary confrontations or even reveal the existence of my strings before it's convienient. I only employ my strings when it's necessary, so until then, my strings are laying dormant on every person that you and I have come into contact with.

You are a coward and a fool. A monster. You will harm no others and I will not give you what you want.

A monster, perhaps. I hear that often enough. But that's what tends to happen when you work for a terrorist organization, after all.

Oh, but I've been called a monster ever since I was a child anyways. Did I ever tell you the truth about that? It wasn't vampires that killed my village, of course. I killed them all when I was...Oh, I think the last one died in November, so I suppose I was 6 or so? It wasn't too long after that, I suppose, when Cain and Isaak came to visit, so that sounds about right.

{Smiles~} I really lost track of time in that year.

And what purpose could any of that have served? What was the point?

Oh, that one was very easy. That was to test the capabilities of my strings and develop them so that they would be perfect. I needed test subjects, and after my father tried to kill me, I thought I would return the favor. It just went from there.
