life on mars (d1) sam tyler

[sitting at a desk in the middle of the Astral Plane, working on his paperwork like a good little nancy boy. And, like a good little nancy boy, he's listening to a broadway musical. On the glasses Fumie gave him, to be specific.

In fact, he's singing along to one. Yes indeed, Sam's singing "If You Were Gay."]

I spoke to the one who called himself "Ten."

But the whole world...nobody should...[Stops and collects himself.] How did you manage to escape him that time?

Uhm... Red Coat tackled me to the ground. [scratches the back of his head]

[Stares at him, a little wide-eyed.] But that's good! That means that a mental or physical shock can stop the hypnosis. At least if it happens before the hypnosis fully takes hold...

Considering how I [eyes flicker] fought the Guv, while he was under, I think it'd have to be before it takes complelte hold, yes.

[Catches the look and nods.] Makes sense...the image thing, though--that should still work. But it would need to be a powerful one. Either that or [smirks,] have someone around to punch you when the Master tries something.

I can't believe someone as powerful as him can exist, though...

Oh, just ask the Guv, he'll be happy to oblige that.

I'm having trouble believing most of this exists. [looks at him] Do hypnotists not like work like that where you're from?

[Chuckles.]

I'm still not sure this place exists...though I think the people here do, at least. [Glances at him, dangerous territory here.] Let's just say that no hypnotist where I'm from would be capable of taking over the world.

Are there many hypnotists where you come from? You've made the implication that they're genuine, in your world.

...Not many, but yes, they are genuine.

What are they like? Are they like the Master?

[Does not like talking about this.] Not as powerful. Different mindsets.

What sorts of mindsets? [once Sam starts a line of questioning, he doesn't end until he gets to the bottom of things. Dog with a bone, oh yes]

[Gives him a careful look.] Does it really matter? Either way, I'm not used to dealing with people like the Master.

It matters when it sounds like you're trying to hide something.

[Change of plans! Hei starts in with the innocent act again.] It's...not that. It's just...[Rubs the back of his head] strange things have been happening since the Gate appeared, and I don't really like thinking about it.

What sorts of strange things?

[Decides to throw Sam a bone.] People disappearing. Unexplained deaths. Rumors of people with strange abilities, that are starting to become more than just rumors. That's how I know about the hypnosis. Some of the rumors sound ridiculous, but others...

Seen any of it for yourself?

[Sharply,] My parents disappeared when the Gates showed up, and I haven't seen my sister in five years. Does that count?

Not when it still seems like you're hiding something.

[Hei can only be pushed so far before he starts pushing back.]

What was it like when you died, Mr. Tyler?

Bit hellish, actually, but after the actual dying was done I was all right. Why are you hiding things?

[All of Hei's plans are backfiring! He's also getting pissed off and feeling rather cornered, which isn't a good combination.]

It doesn't concern you.

There aren't many things about my friends that don't concern me.

[Congratulations, Sam, you are one of the few people EVER who has been able to catch him off guard.]

I'm...what?
