[The Master is ambling along, hands clasped behind his back, an air of disinterest to his person]

[This is in great contrast to his companion, the Doctor, who is smiling quietly]

[after some time, in a light, callous voice, the Master speaks] I feel minds. Echoes of our own.

...Hm? Oh, that's interesting, isn't it? I wonder which ones. [scratches the back of his head] Seems to be some other people around.

Ohh, blessed relief. I could kiss someone for this. I would kiss my wife, but apparently that's not allowed. Really, Doctor, jealousy is no reason to forbid me conjugal visits.

[shoves his hands into his pockets] It's for her sake. She needs a chance to recover, assuming there's anything left of her in there.

She's not the only broken thing I've touched. [reaches a hand out to the Doctor's cheek, just brushing it] Destroyer of worlds.

[gives him a hard look] I think...we should find out where we are. It might be related to the trap from earlier.

[grins and spins around, holding his arms out in welcome to the space around them] Hello! Hello, hello, anyone and everyone. I'm the Master—sorry, I'm the Prisoner, and this is my loving captor, the Jailor.

[only half paying attention] I'm the Doctor, actually.

Would anyone care to inform as to where we are? Lovely scenery, though. [nudges the Doctor, nodding to a constellation] That looks like Kasterborous. Interesting.

[looks curiously up at the constellation] It does. In fact, I think it is. Now that's a bit telling.

Do you suppose it's taken out of our minds? It's a pretty obvious bit of scenery to throw in there. Absolutely destroys the realism. Who'd put Andromeda next to the Trapeloid?

Someone who doesn't know their galactic movements very well. I suppose this could be a projection. I haven't seen a system yet that I haven't been too personally.

[pulls a bag of Jelly Babies out of his pocket and pauses just before popping one into his mouth] Say whatever sniveling, wet sentiment you need to say about the stars and the constellations before I start eating. I'd hate to vomit out perfectly good jelly babies.

[rolls his eyes] Let's find out what's going on first. And then we can admire the construction of this. [snatches a Jelly Baby]

[slaps the Jelly Baby out of the Doctor's hand, catching it and popping it into his mouth with a smug grin]

[glares quite sulkily]

((ooc: Blue is for the Doctor and red is for the Master. Also, they'll totally be threadhopping on each other and other people, so fair warning.))

Time Lords are a species from the planet Gallifrey. All gone, now, save us. [pointed look at the Doctor] But we're certainly not those underdeveloped apes. Even if the Doctor behaves like one.

He did! [frowns a little] And he was. I haven't seen him in a long time, though... [fidgets a little, then looks around] An n-Field is, um...it's a Doll's dream, I guess. I thought it was one because it isn't the human's world, desu. But I don't know any Doll with an n-Field that looks like stars...

[to the Master, tilting her head a bit] A Time Lord? You can control time, then...? You're all alone? [aww, that's sad] That's horrible, desu, being alone...

I'm sorry about your father. But I can see he takes great care in his Dolls.

[scratches the back of his neck] There was a war spanning across time and space. The final battle destroyed both sides. Everyone except for us. But! I suppose you can say we do have a special bond with time, yes.

What the Doctor neglects to mention is that [gives the Doctor a smile] our planet was destroyed. [no, he's not outing you yet] All of it, burning, millions of lives vanishing --- removed entirely from space and time.

Can you tell me a bit more about n-Fields?

[have a horrified look, then a very, very sad one] Fighting...it doesn't help anyone, desu...! Why did you have to do that? It isn't fair...! It...

[shakes her head, scrubbing at her eyes] An n-Field is the representation of a Doll's soul, desu. Each one is different, but...but we can all be invited into one to, um... [trails off] M-mine is a garden, desu, but I spend most of my time in dreams.

[shakes his head] We had to fight off a horrible enemy. It saved more lives than it destroyed, promise. [topic switches and smiles gently] I take it you're fond of gardens, Suiseiseki?

And you can travel through dreams? Curious, that.

But...but you still...! [she has such issues with death, really] All those people...! [sniffles a little, then looks down] I-I'm a Gardener, desu. It's how Father made me...I tend to people's soul trees. [makes a face because ugh, stupid humans] All dreams are connected through the Sea of Unconsciousness, desu, just as all soul trees are part of the greater Tree. Souseiseki and I -- [cuts herself off] I, um...I-I like gardens, yes. Why?

Oh, gardens tend to be very soothing places, don't they? It all sounds very poetic.

[curious] Souseiseki?

Poetic? But, um...! They are, desu. They're much nicer than the stupid human cities, desu, or...or anything else, really.

[fidgets nervously] Ah, um...my sister, desu. She's also a gardener...
