Calm Like A [Reality] Bomb

[The Master, unlike many other people on the Plane, is in quite a good mood. Though he looks a bit worn, perhaps slightly charred, he is in a very good mood as he drinks a Dark Matter Mixer. It's a drink - really. The Master's good mood means he's sociable.]

So! I just committed genocide and blew up a fleet of warships. How is everyone else today?

Other people have consistently had horrible regenerations.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Other people haven't exactly regenerated under the most relaxing of circumstances, either. They may have actually been a bit distracted from time to time.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

And you imagine my regenerations were a walk in the Panopticon?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[sigh because he really doesn't feel like arguing with the Master]

Fine, I'll admit other people's regenerations don't always go swimmingly, but I like to think the end results are quite good.

I liked the blond, young one. I made him, though, so I have a bias.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

And here I thought you were fond of the one from my UNIT days. You did seem to show up quite regularly those days, on a weekly basis I'd say, for a good while.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

If I remember correctly, you made me share your exile first, and then you followed me when I went off-planet.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

And then you asked me to rule the universe with you.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

What can I say? Doomsday weapons bring out the romantic in me.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

You must be feeling like a regular Cassanova after dealing with that entire reality bomb mess. No wonder you're in such a good mood.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Cassanova didn't have half my class.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

I'm sure.

[stuffs his hands in his pockets, bouncing a little on his toes before inhaling sharply]

Well then, good job taking care of all that, glad to see it turned out well for everyone involved.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Except the Daleks.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, but they're Daleks.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

And Daleks don't have rights?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

They're Daleks.

And what are you now, honorary patron of Time Lords for the Ethical Treatment of Daleks? You just blew up their entire fleet.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Certainly not, but there was a certain someone debating the ethics of it. I wanted to know if you shared his views.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

It's them or the entire universe. A Dalek fleet that size, they had to be destroyed.

What other option was there? A nice sit down with tea and scones? Have Davros rolling around the TARDIS?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Quite so! I'd kill Davros if I had to live with him, so no point trying to save him.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Either way, it's over now. Or at least for the time being it's over.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

That's what the other Doctor keeps saying. "They'll come back, they always come back."

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Well it's the truth, isn't it?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I suppose. Means I get to kill 'em again, at the very least.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

At least you see the glass half full.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Always look on the bright side of the life, Doctor.

Or death, as the case may be.
