The Post of Rassilon!!!! ...and Omega

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[A man, who looks identical to one particular incarnation of the Master, walks through the Plane. He is calm, hands clasped together and hidden in the folds of the Presidential Robes of Rassilon. Around his neck is the Sash of Rassilon; in his hand, the Rod of Rassilon. He also happens to be wearing the Footwear of Rassilon - that is, sandals. Those who see him like this may call him 'infinitely wise and infinitely sad.' The man looks to his companion] I should hate to think this is the result of one of your experiments gone wrong, Omega.

[Walking at this man's side is one of the many Tennants, except not really. This man wears 'work robes' which are still somewhat fancy Time Lord robes, given his position. Unlike the delicate footwear of Rassilon, this Time Lord is wearing heavy boots. He looks about him, curious and vaguely annoyed.] Certainly not. This has nothing to do with me. I've been far too busy rechecking everything in preparation to create this...observatory.

A very poorly constructed observatory. [He stops, sweeping the floor with the Rod of Rassilon] It is no part of the Foundry. Perhaps a 'joke' enacted by that other man who insists on troubling the council. It would be fitting to his poor sense of humour. [The Displeased Frown of Rassilon says he is not a big fan of puns]

I fail to see how this could be some sort of prank. [Omega folds his hands in front of him, thinking.] The mapping of the stars and systems is rather crude but such an observatory would be useful, I imagine.

[Rassilon glances at his companion] I could perhaps afford to support such a venture for you, my friend, if only you would cede to my requests on the management of anti-technologist dissidents.

[Omega stops his inspection and turns to look at Rassilon.] Those 'dissidents' are only reacting to your already strict policies. I have fought against such reforms and will continue to do so openly.

[The Political Opponent of Rassilon gets the Lifted Eyebrow of Challenge (and of Rassilon.)] Those dissidents are the same Luddites who opposed our progress and gave you that mark you still bear. [if you're wondering why the Lord High President of Ancient Gallifrey knows the word 'Luddite,' well. It's with good reason.]

[Omega now makes grumpy noises, because he hates when Razz has a point.] They still do not deserve such punishments. You will not win a favourable opinion with your people if you treat them that way.

[Razz: 1. Omega: 0] Just think of it, Omega. An observatory of your own, fully interactive, not a false three-dimensional hologram, but one mapped out in five dimensions. You shall be able to walk amongst the stars and select the one that shall bring our species into a new era of prosperity and peace. An observatory to aid your experiments into time.

It did take far too long to find a suitable candidate... [It is clear that Omega is pondering this much more seriously now, morals and politics be damned.] Now, I am not agreeing to your policies. However, I see no reason to rule out negotiations. Perhaps we can come to something that will mutually benefit us.

[the "Gotcha!" Smile of Rassilon] I am always open to negotiations. I have meaning to suggest, we shall have to tour the chamber for your star. Its construction is nearly complete.

[At this, Omega seems to brighten considerably. Ah, how he loves his science.] Ah, yes! Yes, we'll make time for that soon. Or so I hope. I am merely finishing the preparations, so I should have ample time for a tour.

[Rassilon is quite pleased at this] Perhaps now we can turn our attention to the beings of this place?

[Omega nods.] Yes, that would be wise. They may come and greet us as guests in this place.

[Rassilon looks Omega over and pointedly doesn't comment on the worker clothing his opponent is wearing] We shall be ready for them, then.

[Omega gives him a look, because he knows what Rassilon wanted to say. Instead, he just proudly stands in his robes and waits.]



((ooc: Welcome to another episode of Time Lord Theatre. Today you'll note that the Doctor is actually infamous Time lord founder Omega - marked in this lovely colour, while the Master is playing the part of vampire-hatin' Rassilon in his fabulous pride colour. They think they're really the founders and will act accordingly! Blah blah threadhopping blah blah confused memories because they're just delusional blah blah have fun!))

[Omega feels the need to explain further!]

It was not long ago when the vampires waged war against us. Both sides suffered heavy losses. One vampire lord escaped to e-space, a different universe, so we are still wary of the day that he will return with a new army.

[madamemoiselle]

{She crosses her arms, glaring at Rassilon}

I haven't destroyed any worlds, and I would prefer if you called me Diva.

{Then back to Omega. He's nicer. B|}

Well, I have nothing to do with that. I would hardly call two vampires an army anyways.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[Rassilon takes a step towards the evil vampire of evil. His thought? She's not as pale as the normal ones]

Diva, tell me, then. If you do not remember the war, what do you remember of your kind?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Omega is just as scared of vampires, he's just attempting logic.]

No, two vampires would not even make sense for a vampire lord, really.

[madamemoiselle]

Nothing. My mother was long dead before I was born, and I have no idea who my father is. I was born into the hands of a human who kept me locked up in a tower for fifty years as an experiment. That's all there is to "my kind".

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

And is this your birth form? The shape you have always possessed?

[hmm. Maybe she is some type of haemovore not like the Great Vampires]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Omega thinks for a moment.]

You are also somewhat less... ['stupid' isn't the right word except it is. And she's helpful but a little stupid.] Ah. You seem to have more free will, at least. They are generally rather obsessed with their feasting.

[madamemoiselle]

...It's not my birth form, no, but it's not something I show to people. No one.

And of course I'm not. It's just what I have to eat to survive. Ne, I mean, human beings eat animals to survive, so I eat them.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

What is your birth form? This is very important, Diva.

[also, Rassilon just got confused]

'Humans'?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Humans may be one of the currently developing species.

[madamemoiselle]

It's not important enough to show you. It doesn't matter at all.

{wut} You know, human beings? Ah, I guess you don't...Well, they don't look that different from you, but they only have one heart, at least.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It is very important in proving that you are not one of the Great Vampires whom we have devoted ourselves to ridding the universe of.

I have never heard of human beings. It must be our morphogenetic imprint.

[or the xenophobic genocides Rassilon pulls off later in his career, a or b]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Looks to Diva.]

We ask you only out of the deep concern we have for our people and to give you fair judgement. If you are not one of those creatures, then we have no reason to treat you with hatred.

[madamemoiselle]

{Frowning again}

Ne, then you would "rid the universe of me", even though I haven't done anything to you?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

We would rid the universe of you to avenge all those you've killed before and prevent you from killing ever again.

Of course, should you prove not to be our great enemy, there is no reason to do so.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

If you were one of the great vampires, it is only logical to assume you've been destroying worlds. It is all they ever did. That is why we had to stop them.

[madamemoiselle]

Then I'm not one of them.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Please, Diva. We only ask to see it for a brief moment. Then we may put all of this behind us and start anew.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

You must understand. It was...a terrible war. Even the hint that such a war could loom before us once more is enough to cause unrest.

[madamemoiselle]

You won't see it. Just take my word that you have nothing to worry about.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[looks at Omega. They have no weapons, so they can't press the vampire now. If she does turn out to be one of their enemy, then they're basically screwed. So, for now, they'll go with it]

As you wish, Diva.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Omega nods.]

Strange, then, that vampires could have the same name and be so different.

[madamemoiselle]

Well...It probably doesn't matter, but Joel called us Chiroptera. But no one knows what that means, so it's easier to just say "vampire".

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Do you know why this Joel called you that?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

And it is only you and Saya?
