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

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[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]

[watches him, then claps her hands and giggles]

That's quite the trick, dear.

[have Reinette, standing nearby]

You seem especially pleased with yourself.

[grins as he watches all this very impressed and maybe a little wide eyed, and not even trying to hide it]

How does that work?

W-- w--

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I think I'll quite this Last of the Time Lords business and become an alchemist; what do you say?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I did just do something which, in my world, is impossible.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[The Master pulls a book from his pocket and throws it at Handy]

Alchemy, apparently.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

The power of your own personal saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ. He speaks through me to bring miracles to this world so I may spread his word.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I think that's a charming idea, Harry.


Can you actually make gold, then, or is it best used to be rid of things?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I can make gold, but I could do that easily enough anyway. A little molecular restructuring goes a long way for combat against particular Cybermen generations.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[smiles] You're very good at a great many things, aren't you? Is there anything you can't do, dear?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Make this work in our world. I can't be sure what's wrong, but there's something incomplete in our world. Must not be compatible with our physical laws, or...

[thinky-Master]

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Are you not already, by their standards, impossible?

Surely everything you accomplish now is just that. Even this conversation.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[frowns] Do you suppose it has anything to do with those Twins, or this Machine?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I'm not impossible or I couldn't be. I'm very unlikely and there are some very complicated paradoxes that keep my existence stable, now that Gallifrey's gone, but I am possible.

This, though. This contradicts the physical laws of my universe.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[Lucy is getting right into the companion-role, yay!]

That it does work, or that it doesn't?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Does it contradict the laws here?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Apparently not. It works here, after all. I assume as it should.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[she's learning :O and wants to be useful]

Both, I suppose. We can bring things here, can't we? Maybe they can do the same, so what's possible in one reality but not ours is possible here? It all seems rather far-fetched, really, but...

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[he catches it and then sits down and starts flipping through it]

Was it difficult at all, making it all work?

[he's engrossed in the book now, flipping through it as he talks]

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Then I still am not certain precisely what you accomplished. I came back from the dead, but that could hardly be attributed to any particular skill on my part.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

The whole thing is far fetched. But I think it holds that if this place holds all universes, it can follow all laws. Apparently for anyone of any universe... or perhaps only certain types of laws can translate...

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[looks at her, as if surprised by her suggestion] Surviving death always requires some skill in the living that follows.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

Like coming back from the dead? [unpleasant thought, that] But which laws do you mean?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

I would still argue I did not survive it. I allowed them to take me, and I will never forget that fact.
