[O hay plane, remember Dorothy Gale? The little girl from Kansas who... well, is kind of tall now, actually, and not really so little anymore, but shut up. She's been gone for a month. A MONTH. Why the absence, you may be wondering.

Well, here she is, carrying a little tooled-leather trunk and what appears to be a chocolate shake. Why don't you go ASK her?]

[ps: i'm back :3 HELLO I LOVE YOU GUYS OKAY]

You do have a point, there.

But why do you need one of my dresses? I'm sure you could just get one from the Salvation Army or something, if all you need them for is Dalek hunting.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It must be the dress of a princess, Princess. You know how stories go.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course. Why didn't I think of that.

[And because she couldn't give less of a crap about all the dresses Ozma makes her wear when she's in town on business, she plops the trunk down and opens it, rummaging around inside (and it seems to be a bit bigger than the outside, hmm.) until she pulls out a silk dinner dress in varying shades of metallic grey and holds it out to the Master]

It's all yours. But I think you might have to have it tailored-- I don't think it's your size.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[and he laughs, because she played it all the way through]

I'm sure I can slip in. If not, I could always have a change of face to fit it.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Oh, can you change into a girl? Because I'm wondering if you'd really be able to fill it out in the right places...

[Hey, nothing wrong with a good running joke, after all.]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

They say that if a Time Lord commits suicide, they'll regenerate as the opposite gender. But I'd like to think I'm a fair enough hand at regeneration that I could pull off a teensy little chromosomal alteration like that.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Should you ever feel the need to, of course.

[She tilts her head and appraises him, hand on her chin. Hmm.]

Though to be honest, I think red is more your color.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

uMm, red is for Pain. Used to be, anyway. Never liked white very much.

I've always liked black, though. Even on Gallifrey. But I hated the intiates clothes.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

That's funny. In Oz it represents life. White is one of the colors that represent positive magic, usually it's only good witches that wear it. Not that it really signifies elsewhere, of course.

Well, it's hard not to look good in black, but it's not easy to make it look classy. A feat I'd say you manage admirably well!

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

White is Death's colour on Gallifrey. It's what she always wears, anyway.

Now now, Princess, no need to flatter.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

"She"?

I'm a fan of generous applications of the truth. If the shoe fits, and all that. Besides, I always look cheap in black, so it seems like an achievement to me, anyway.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Ohh, one of the Menti Celesti. A Gallifreyan God, more or less.

I suppose it is hard to come by jeans in black.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Oh. Didn't think you'd have gods, what with the science fixation, and all. Seems a little primitive for such an advanced people.

Ha ha, very funny.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Most of our legends are histories we wish to distort.

Oh, come on, Princess! I'm only saying that you really are suited to more casual wear. It suits your personality.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Well, all legends have to start somewhere, after all. Although Bigfoot is just Bigfoot. Nice guy. Great at horseshoes.

That's what I think too, but Her Imperial Majesty is less convinced. She says jump, I ask how high. For the good of the country, y'know. Though I'm not sure how it's better for Oz that I wear a skirt.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I think the Doctor has met a few Yetis.

I'd make a comment about jumping and skirts, but that's either very silly or very inappropriate, depending on which I choose.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised. Though I can't say I've ever met any, personally.

Okay, okay, I walked into that one. But you know what I mean. Don't you think it'd be easier to defend the country in comfortable clothes?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I think we used to have some in the Death Zone...

Finer clothing can be quite comfortable. Not robes, mind you, you can't do anything in robes, but surely there are some ornate trousers you could pick up.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

"Death Zone". That's... descriptive.

Well, you have the added benefit of being male. Menswear tends to be a little less on the restrictive side. Did you have to wear robes often?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

The story goes that once, Time Lords used to abduct various species with time scoops and drop them off in the Death Zone to play Rassilon's Game, which involved lots killing and death. Also, the Death Zone looks remarkably like Wales.

Don't they have women's clothing stylized in that fashion? Some of my assistants used to wear more 'male-styled' clothing, but with that feminine edge. And only had to wear robes when I was a young boy. And when I was summoning demons. And there was that one time I tried them on for fun. Mostly got rid of them after I went renegade, anyway.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

You know, the more I hear about this Rassilon character, the less I like him.

They do, and I'm sure if I turned up in a fancy pantsuit or something, Ozma would still force me into a dress. At this point I think she just likes to torture me.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

He was a genius. Absolutely brilliant mind. And Omega too, of course. That counts for more than morals do where I'm from.

Maybe she thinks you look best in dresses.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

That explains a lot.

Well, whatever she thinks, she's wrong. I think most people look best in what makes them feel best-- lets them be themselves.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Maybe who you are isn't what everyone wants.
