[if one happens to be near the infamous bar on the Plane, you might see a big green thing making a beeline for that very location. of course, it isn't a big green monster or anything remotely similar heading that way, but a very worried and agitated Time Lord in full ceremonial robes, the colour of which indicates he's from the Arcalian Chapter of the Academy.

granted, if he isn't seen, one can damn well hear the swish, swish, swish from those heavy, multi-layered robes as he moves, or the crashing of poor glass bottles that keep getting knocked to the ground thanks to his robes and cumbersome shoulder-headpiece he's wearing as he sets about fixing himself a drink.

...make that multiple drinks. he may be there for a while.]


[ooc: Straxus has had a bit of a canon update, which can be seen here. The new stuff starts in blue.]

Drinking is a bad habit and it's hell trying to get spilled wine out of those robes.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[casually reaches for a bottle next to the wine that he so wasn't about to grab. then puts that one back as well since it's gin and he definitely does not like gin.]

I don't drink that often. I'm entitled to have one every now and then.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Very smooth, Straxus.

[he sits down and spins on his chair, then sweeps his hand across to grab a bottle]

This is a fruit brandy. Not Kirsch; kirschwasser is never very sweet. You'll like this.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Will I? [takes it cautiously and has a seat a few chairs away from the Master. thank goodness the chairs can spin or else he wouldn't be able to move so well sitting down.]

Why choose such an alcohol? [nonetheless, he's pouring himself a glass...]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It's sweet. You like Jelly Babies, don't you? Every one of us to try them loves Jelly Babies.

[the Master takes a casual sip]

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...Good gods; what on earth are you wearing?

[Brigitta shall jsut be sitting to the side and sipping from a beer]

[turns around, and yep, there goes a bottle of vodka. as he walks out from behind the bar, he says:] These, Brigitta, are ceremonial robes. Every Time Lord has them.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[She'll be wincing just slightly at the vodka; poor vodka- she never got a chance to drink it] They're not all that practical are they?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Which is why they are ceremonial. The ones I normally wear are the practical version.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

I'd forgotten how ridiculous those things are.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Who approved of such a design? I can stand up straight perfectly fine on my own.

[cosmic-engineer.livejournal.com]

I believe the excuse at the time was that they were traditional. [ie: he got overruled when it came to a vote. :|]

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[gives you a weak look] Traditional? Compared to what?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[glances up from fiddling with a glass a few chairs away, looking distinctly amused] I tried to campaign for their removal once. It went about as well as any other change I proposed.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[frowns at that amused look] And what kind of changes were they?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Make them work robes, simply with the appropriate colours.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

[mutters] But that's what I normally wear...

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

That seems a bit cumbersome.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Of course they are. Don't you remember?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

More or less. Still, why don't you just take them off? It seems like it would be much easier.

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Take it off when the Master is around? I'd never see them again.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Wow! What great robes! Where did you get them from?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

Great? [gives this human child a look] Hardly.

I got them when I graduated from the Academy. I've had them for centuries.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I hope our graduation robes will be as grand as those! I'll have to talk to my father about that!

[pauses]

...centuries?

[damn-time-ring.livejournal.com]

No. Really. You don't want them. Keep your simple human robes. You'll thank me later.

Yes, that's what I said.
