[Handy's narrator is fail at the moment and failing to think of things to say. So long story short, we find our hero hanging about in the Astral Bar. Alas he seems to be drinking alone though, and that is shameful and sad.

So obviously someone needs to come along and keep him company.

He is behind the bar, trying to figure out what he will be drinking. Being chained to Kisha!Ten was a pain in the behind, to say the least. But now he is FREE! And thus he is chilling at the Astral Bar, celebrating his freedom and things.]

I don't study human allergies unless I'm trying to kill a human with an allergy via that allergy.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Right, of course. Well I still steer clear of it regardless.

[sniffs at his drink, a little wary, but then takes another sip. Maybe because he likes it, maybe to prove a point, maybe stupidity, who knows?]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You must come by it in quite the quantities. I only bothered to live a human's life in public.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Well, steer clear of taking it, I mean.

[pauses]

How did you live your life in private? What with Lucy and all, it still must've been somewhat human I think, your lifestyle all that.

[lifts an eyebrow]

How do you live your daily life now?

[possibly he doesn't like talking about his wife at all right now]

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Well as of late, I've lived it chained to my sort of self.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I realize that your temporal senses have been confused since you became human, but I thought they had a sense of 'now' which stretched to actions repeated over time.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Why do you even care?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Defensive response is always a telling sign.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

And shifting the focus to me when I ask you a question isn't?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It's a more subtle sign.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

It's still a sign, nonetheless.

And it wasn't that subtle.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Anything can be a sign if you know what's being signified.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Like the way you're completely avoiding the topic at hand any way you can?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No, you're avoiding the topic. I'm playing with it. My days, as they were, involved television, building the paradox machine, and a lot of filling in time. And redecorating the other rooms in the TARDIS.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

And what's that filling in time then?

[pause then shrugs]

I don't know, my days are spent on that other TARDIS now. It's a bit back to what I remember, different still all things considered of course. But it's good I suppose, far better than being stuck on Earth at the very least.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

4chan.

[leans back]

Rubbed it in his face that he completely bollocksed up trying to leave you on Earth?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

4chan?

[takes another sip of his drink]

Well, suppose just being there probably accomplishes that, doesn't it?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Look it up.

I'd go for more. If only for the satisfaction of seeing his face when he's disappointed, angry, and hurt. [he sounds far too fond of that for it to be healthy]

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[furrows his brow, watching the Master]

You sure you don't want to just do it for me yourself?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I want to see him grovel for forgiveness before I give him even that.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[shifts uncomfortably, spinning his seat a bit so he's facing the bar straight ahead and he takes another sip of his drink]

Right. Of course.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[gaze unwavering, voice calm]

It bothers you, doesn't it?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

What?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

If you don't know what I mean, it means there's more wrong with you than I thought.
