Constellation 05

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Arthur appears on the Plane, looking very different to how he usually dresses. His hair is parted to the side, and his glasses have been replaced with thick, coke-bottle lenses. He's wearing a stripped polo shirt, a  fleece vest, and khaki pants.

There's also an inhaler in his hand, and he seems at quite a loss as to what to do with it.] This is....unusual.

[gently]

Look at me, Arthur. Look at me and ask.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[He can barely bring himself to lift his head, much less look up at the Master. But he does, something akin to shame in his expression]

Please, Master. Please let me have my glasses back.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Why so ashamed, Arthur?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Because...I'm on my knees, begging.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Don't you religious people do that all the time?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[looking back down again, mumbling] I don't kneel to pray. I sit.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Ahh, right, Quaker. Well then.

[takes Arthur by the arm and pulls him to his feet, then offers the glasses]

There you are, just as promised.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[A little startled, though he manages to keep his balance. He takes the offered glasses and slips them on, looking away from the Master]

Thank you.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No need to be so embarrassed; didn't make you give oral sex while you were down there, did I?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[stammering and taking a step back]

I wouldn't ha- you wouldn't ask, would you?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you know what it is! I wasn't sure.

[Forget the week of anger and hatred, Arthur is filling the Master with happy lulz]

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

You brought it up once before. The Greeks.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I did, didn't I? And you knew it then. But you clearly haven't had any.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[bright red now] What does that have to do with anything?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Just wondering who gave you sex ed, is all.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Nobody. I've never discussed this sort of thing with anyone.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Books, then?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Not answering that]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

All right, run along now, Arthur. I'm done mocking you for the hour.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

......of course. [And he drops from the Plane]
