[002] stars shining bright above you

[Because the mun is really very slow about these things and apologizes for it -- a Doctor is sprawled out on the Plane (because the "a" is a necessary article, given that there are, in fact, several Doctors that could exist here at any given moment). His head is pillowed by his hands, and the pull on his sleeves reveals the barest hint of bruising on his wrists, hidden beneath the fabric. On his lower lip and on his right brow are scabbed-over cuts, and on his left cheek is a lovely, vivid sort of bruise.

At the moment it would seem that he has no inclination to move from his spot on the lovely Plane floor, though what he's doing just lying there is anyone's best guess--]

Ah, there's Eta Canis Majoris.

[-- . . . Right. Nevermind that last narration. He seems to be doing a bit of star gazing -- and surprisingly, despite the fact that he's obviously been in a bit of a scuffle, he looks relatively serene. Relatively. By which we mean he doesn't look entirely angry. Much.]

Yeah, well, I know that. I'm just drawing a comparison, is all. You know, in order to suss out what's so special about Manchester in 1973?

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

[he glares] Perhaps if you bothered thinking instead of sitting there blabbing off the first thing to appear in your feeble little brain, you might be able to conclude that the fact that Manchester on another bloody planet might just be the result of a reality merge.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

[sigh, just taking the verbal abuse. ): thx experiment.] Well? Care to explain it to me, then? Since my feeble mind can barely handle this line of questioning.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

[at least it's just verbal abuse? :(] What more is there to explain? I can get to Manchester.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

[which is good. ): ] I meant, you know, more explaining what the hell a reality merger is.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

...No one told you?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Naaaah, I just thought it'd be fun to ask.

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

...Through frequent interaction with other people who reside on the Plane, realities merge. For example, repeated contact with Mr. Sam Tyler and Mr. Gene Hunt has resulted in a complete reality merge. As a result, I now have all of Manchester to do with as I wish.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . Blimey. I feel a bit sorry for them, in that case.

-- So they've got to deal with cheetahs, then?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Indeed - and the virus, if they leave Manchester.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . What's so special about them, then? If you were interacting with them so often?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[the Master chuckles] Perhaps I just enjoyed their company?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

[he raises a brow at that] You hardly enjoy anyone's company.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Wrong! [he idly slips off a glove and begins fiddling with his claws] When you're left with nothing but beasts you take what you can get.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . Fair enough.

But out of all the people on the Plane, why them?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Well, one of them keeps talking to me for a very simple reason: the fact I kill people from time to time.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

So the other one just got dragged into it, since they're in the same reality?

[making a face] Lucky chap.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Though he does hate me, seeing as his partner keeps hanging about with me. And the fact that I killed said partner once. [he likes bragging :D]

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . You know, mate, that's not something you ought to be proud of.

Why's this dunce hanging about you, still? I can't imagine it's for the conversation.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Why shouldn't I be proud of something I'm good at?

[the Master pulls off a bit of a claw, shedding it a bit]

He's under the impression he has me under control.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . And what would give him the impression that he's got you collared?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

I have no idea.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

You didn't give him that impression, did you?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Now, Doctor, why would I do that?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Provide a false sense of security? For your own amusement? Because you could?
