[Jolyne appears sitting on a bench from the exercise yard with a somewhat worn baseball glove on one hand. She's busy poking at the bandages wrapped around her midsection, but doesn't seem as if she'll be trying to take them off anytime soon... especially not since F.F. had practically demanded she let the bullet wounds heal already.]

...how long's it been and they still hurt like a mother. Augh. [She prods at the bandages again.] So damn itchy...!

I hear you're not supposed to do that.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

You mean get shot, or poke at the holes afterward?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I know you're not supposed to get shot; got lectured about it last time it happened. Poking the holes has never been much of an issue with me, however.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Wow, and here I only get lectured for not letting the damned things heal.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

How much longer is it estimated your wound will need?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Beats me. It's been a couple of weeks already.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Are you human?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Last I checked, yeah?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose it'll take some time yet.

[waves a hand] Time Lord, meaning my cells regenerate very quickly. Gunshot wound can usually be dealt with within a day, depending on what's hit.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately.

[She cocks an eyebrow] Dammit, some people have all the luck. So, is that just a fancy title, or do you have some sort of time-related ablities?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You'll find most Time Lords have fancy titles of their own. It's a Gallifreyan thing. But yes! Lord of Time. Time sensitivity, travelling capabilities in time, supposed to be guardians of, blah blah blah. Very useful! Lots of fun, most of the time. Bit of a headache when it comes to time anomalies like Captain Jack Harkness.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Huh. Sounds like an interesting life you've got there. Don't think I've had the chance to meet that "Captain Jack Harkness" guy yet, though.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

If a man in a greatcoat start's flirting with you, you'll know you've found the one.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Man in a greatcoat, got it.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I don't think I got your name, though?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Right, yeah- it's Jolyne.

[Smirk] So would you be Mr. Time Lord, Mr. Lord, Oh Lordy, or none of the above?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[smiles back] I prefer to go by 'Master,' actually. I did warn you about the names.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

... Sure you don't have any other nicknames that wouldn't be so... er... yeah?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Nope! Not really.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

...I bet you're a real hit at parties.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, the crowds love me! Or, alternately, hate me, but, hey, I do always get a reaction. And any strong emotion is one worth having, or so it goes.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Well, I figured. What with calling yourself 'Master' and all. How about 'hey you!' or 'you're that guy!' instead?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

There was a young lady who liked to call me 'toe rag.' I did adore the girl, such a shame she had to die in the War.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Have a look of utter disbelief]

... Toe rag. That's... definitely different.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Ace was certainly a unique girl.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

If by unique you mean "might not be all there in the head," then yes. Yes she was.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Possibly, but I wouldn't say that to her. Nitro 9 is rather explosive.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

.... [Her face is now stuck between "wtF??" and "...right."]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[he smiles quite happily at her]

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Nice going, self. You've found yet -another- lunatic.] Well. Good thing that sort of stuff isn't so easy to get ahold of.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Easy to make if you know how.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, that goes for pretty much anything.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Not true! Just the other day I was confronted by how much effort it takes to create a paradox machine, even having the experience I do.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll bite: what sort of things does a "paradox machine" do? And how the hell does it do them?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Paradox machines allow paradoxes to exist. Generally particular paradoxes, such as, say, humanity's descendants coming back in time to slaughter them before they have a chance to go and create those descendants. The grandfather paradox, you know? There are legends about Grandfather Paradox on my planet, or, er, were, rather. At any rate! The mechanics behind it are complicated, but the basic idea is to use a TARDIS to anchor to, essentially, anchor two contradictory timelines, allowing one to move into the other.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

...wow. And that sort of thing passes for a hobby where you're from?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Nore or less!
