That's what makes it nice, I guess. ♥ It's a lot prettier here than New York City, anyways. And quieter. Ne, those car's horns blaring all day, it really can drive you mad. But it's not unbearable, I guess.

Oh, my name is Diva. It's a pleasure. {And another polite curtsy}

New York is a bit loud, yes. I prefer something a bit more suburban myself.

[bows back] And I'm called the Master, Miss Diva. The pleasure is mine.

Ah, it'd be nice to settle down in a place like that. The only time I've ever stayed anywhere suburban was when I was young. Paulliac was a nice, small city near Bordeaux, after all. Just the wineries there, really. Everywhere else has always been a city...

The Master? My, what a strange name. Though, I've heard the same for mine...Ne, well it's fine either way.

[smiles] Yes, I've been there to visit the wineries once. That must be... oh, could be six hundred years ago, now. Should've visited last I was on Earth.

Diva, from the female form of the latin divus, meaning the divine or goddess. Correct?

Oh, I can't claim as impressive a time as you! It's been around 120 years since I've visited, but that still does mean something, I guess. Ne, neither one of us are human, right?

Ah, that's true! My, what a smart person. Not many people study Latin anymore. It's such a pretty language though, so I think it's a shame.

No, I'm a Time Lord. Gallifrey is my home. And you?

I rather enjoy learning languages. Particlarly had a love for it in my Third. Besides, you haven't really had fun until you've usurped the throne of the Roman Empire.

{She blinks for a moment curiously and then looks surprised as she suddenly remembers} Ah! You would happen to be the Master that the Doctor talked about would you?

Well, I live in New York City right now, but I'm always traveling. So nowhere, really. Just wherever my Chevalier take me.

My, my, another person like that, huh? Ne, it sounds like something Amshel would do. It must have been interesting to do that, at least. The books I read, well, the Romans seemed like neat people! Ah, but I guess I know how it is. My Chevalier and I have started a few...conflicts, I guess you could say, but I'm never awake to actually see the results. I just hear about them later.

If he spoke of the one he is travelling with, then yes, that's me.

Chevalier.. that's a knight, I believe. Who is your Chevalier?

They can be a great deal of fun, yes. What do you mean by starting conflicts?

Well, he never said anything like that. Just that you two had been fighting for a really long time.

Well, let's see~ The ones that are still alive are Amshel, Solomon, Nathan, James, and Karl. I had two more, but they died. Ne, but their names are probably familiar. They're both really famous, even after they died. Grigori Rasputin and Martin Bormann. Though, I liked Grigori much more than Martin.

But that's kind of what I mean, anyways~ My Chevalier and I have been present in the world's politics since the beginning of the late 19th century until now. Rasputin, Amshel, and I started the Russian Revolution. Of course, at that time, I was known as Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia. That first world war was nothing particularly interesting, and Amshel mostly did things with that. Ah, but the Second World War was really different! Martin was such good friends with Mr. Adolf, so I spent a lot of time in Munich more than anywhere else. I traveled all over, met Josef Mengele, and we became really good friends...{She sighs thoughtfully}

It's too bad he was really an awful person. He had such a nice smile, though, and was so kind. It really was a shame that we had to kill him. But Vietnam was probably the worst because Amshel bargained me off to be a weapon instead of a pawn like usual. It was really such a bore to just slaughter those people with no fighting back. It'd be over before it even started! Oh, but that napalm was the worst! Ah, I got burned so badly by it sometimes that my skin just fell off! Disgusting...

Now it's a lot more peaceful, though. Just Sister chasing after me, but that's hardly a concern~

Oh, that, too. And we still fight, but we travel together as well.

[smiles broadly] You sound like you did have some fun! Such a shame with Vietnam, though. I love the smell of napalm in the morning myself, but I wasn't ever on the recieving end.

Then that sounds a little different! Ah, and I had thought that you were a bad kind of person. Though...Well, based on what you said, maybe you are. But in the same way I am~

Well it's certainly not a fun thing! Ah, and burns hurt the worst too~~ Getting shot in the heart is nothing compared to that. It's awful! Ah, but it's fun being able to read history books and know the truth behind them, more than anything. My Chevalier and I are never remembered, but that's not important anyways since we can't die.

I suppose I am, but I quite enjoy it.

No, gunwounds really aren't so terrible. But nothing I've experienced is more painful than the agony of being trapped in a black hole.

You can't die? Why not?

Well, you seem pretty nice right now. Maybe selectively bad?

Ne, but what's a black hole?

It's just what I am, I guess. Every wound I get just heals itself. If it's a scratch, it takes a few seconds, but I can lose an arm and it'll only take a few minutes for it to grow back.

In common terms, perhaps so. It's merely that I have a different perspective on the world than most, and it comes violently into contradiction with the perspectives of others. I, however, am consistently true to myself and my own beliefs, which is really the only important thing.

A black hole is usually a star which has died and collapsed in on itself, creating a gravitational field which drags in and crushes all that passes its event horizon. Not even electromagnetic radiation - including light - can escape its pull, though all of it is inevitably released as the black hole decays. You take a few courses on it at the Academy.

What are you, then? I knew of few species like that.

Then that makes sense. People disagree all the time, start wars, and lots of other things. The bad person always depends on which side you like more anyways. That's the funny thing about things like that.

Ah, that sounds really scary! How did you get out of something like that? Just wait for it to decay all the way?

Well, Joel called sister and I Chiropterans. But really, the thing that we're most like is vampires.

Of course. People are far too quick to label that which they don't agree with or understand. It's a common, if not admirable trait.

My people resurrected me so I could fight a war for them, actually.

'Chiropterans'? Don't think I've ever heard of them. Vampires, though, I've come across, but I don't believe they're the same sort as yours.

Admirable? I don't know about that. It's caused me a lot of problems, so it's one thing I really dislike.

Ohh, so you died and got brought back to life? Wow, that's really something! How did they manage that? Or is it a secret?

Oh, probably not~ The ones that humans write about aren't anything like sister and I except for the fact that we drink blood. Sunlight isn't a problem, garlic is smelly, but tastes good, and well, if I got a stake through the heart, I would die, but I'd just come right back to life again~
Well, that, and our blood is kind of poisonous to humans. Otherwise, we just have a different diet.

I meant to say that it was not admirable, pardon me. It's rather... closed-minded and ignorant, really. Very human.

I'm afraid they never deigned to tell me, though I imagine the Sash and Key of Rassilon were involved. I'm afraid I was too busy to pry into the matter at the time.

No, not much like the Great Vampires, then. Bit reminscent of Plasmavores, though, but far, far too pretty to be a Haemovore.

That's better~ It's the reason that people think that I dislike humans. Not all humans are bad, after all, but the ones that just call you a monster or push their ideals onto you without trying to find out anything...Well, they're idiots. It's not fair at all~

I've never heard of a Plasmavore or a Haemovore, but, ne, it's a flattering compliment still. Thank you. ♥
