Full Metal Time Lord!!! [action figure in stores today]

[On the ground there are three chalk circles with weird designs in them. One might even call these 'transmutation circles,' if one was so inclined. Very likely, one isn't. ]

[Sitting in the centre of the first circle is an old transistor radio.]

He destroys!

[The Master puts his hands over the circle, in glowing yellow light, the radio falls apart. Satisfied, the Master kicks the pieces over to the next circle.]

He creates!

[Hands-putting and yellow light repeat, but this time, the pieces come together and the radio is whole again. Another kick sends the radio into the final circle. This time, when he puts his hands over the circle, the radio lights on fire]

He thinks this really needs some sort of incantation. And pictograms. Pictionary, now that's an idea. Magical pictionary, now with one hundred percent more setting on fire the idiot who can't get that a pair of stars is 'binary'! Buy now for the low low price of years studying molecular structure.

[The Master starts cleaning up the alchemy circles by smudging them away with his toe. He was always a very diligent student]

[...His words make Brigitta's brain hurt] A little egocentric don't you think?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It's a species thing. It happens when you're the undisputed lords of time for a good eternity or so.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...Ah, so Rassilon's plans did work out then.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Only in that respect. I assume he failed to notice that he created a stagnant species while he was at it.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

He didn't want his people to grow in times of war from what I gathered, I don't think he meant for them to become stagnant.

...TO think of it he kind of looked like you.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

...oh. That. Yes, I remember now.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

You met him too? That must've been a odd conversation.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[if Brigitta doesn't know, the Master really doesn't want to tell her]

Oh, I've met him a few times. Sometimes, he looked more like Brian Blessed than he looked like me. Time Lord thing, you know.

[Hey, the girls slow... As in incredibly slow]

Right, do faces tend to repeat a lot then or is it a very rare occurrence?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Not that rare. Commander Maxil was a spitting image for the Doctor's sixth incarnation, hair and all.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...That must get extremely confusing, any reason for it?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It helps in particularly traumatic regenerations so we don't have to focus on our looks and can worry about more important things.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Right, such as focusing on the horrible trauma that caused the regeneration?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

And trying not to lose another regeneration to it.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

You don't have a unlimited number?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It's said that after too many, a Time Lord is driven mad.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

How many have you had?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[a broad, predatory grin]

Far, far too many.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[She just gives him a rather "are you serious?" look for a moment and then just smirks] That really does explain a lot.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[laughs]

Don't worry. I've always been thought insane, even before my second regeneration.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Even when you were a child?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I learned to hide it as a child.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Even from your parents?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Not that difficult.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Ah, they didn't pay much attention to you, I should've guessed.
