Artifact 01: Colorblocks

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ Sitting at a small, wooden table with a tall umbrella, Angela seems to be enthralled with something. The something sits on the table in front of her.

It looks like a collection of painted wood blocks, the kind of thing a baby would play with. They are currently arranged to look like a small cluster of houses, complete with angled roofs and chimneys. Suddenly, she lifts a hand, and knocks all the blocks down.

This would be disappointing for anyone admiring the block sculpture, but only briefly, as the blocks immediately start to build new houses, all on their own. ]

Eternals?

Rather powerful cosmic beings. They live outside of time in the realm of eternity, able to manipulate matter and read minds. Apparently, they didn't know a thing about Time Lords before the Doctor brought us up to them, but if the legends about Death, Time, and Pain are true, then they know very much indeed what we are.

You're a Time Lord, I take it?

[it occurs to him that she must not be the girl he'd met]

A Time Lord of Gallifrey, yes, one of her last scions. I'm the Master, a Prydonian and a renegade. Not that that means anything to you, but most Time Lords know to run screaming from Prydonian renegades. We're the worst of them all. Or, as I like to think of it, the best.

[ Oh great. One of the Masters, who Hei just warned her about. Her luck has been just fabulous lately!

She smiles anyway, especially since 90% of what he just said went straight over her head. ]

I imagine there's a lot of backstory to what a Prydonian renegade is.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

A Prydonian is a chapter of the Academy. The Academy is an institute on Gallifrey, the schooling institute of the Time Lords. A renegade is a Time Lord who leaves home, an errant and erring child, so far as his fellows are concerned.

So you stopped going to school and ran away, and now they're afraid of you?

[ She has a feeling there's more to this than just that. ]

Of course not! I graduated first. I'm not a drop-out.

[yes, this is the most important accusation; he is a Time Lord, you must forgive him]
