[and here's the Master, looking relatively better than the last time some people around here might've seen him (for example, there is less blood involved); though he still walks on one leg very gingerly, and is sans gloves for once

which is entirely due to the fact his claws are decidedly sharper, and he doesn't want to ruin anymore D:]

Hmph... need to do something about these...

But fancying blokes isn't.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

No - though I more fancy people that appeal to me more than I do simple anatomical features. Women, for example... I like them ambitious, ruthless, cunning... with a bit of a preference for redheads, but that matters little.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

A smart bird's better'n a bimbo, yeah, but I'd rather not worry she's gonna hurt me once a month. Better if she just takes care of the housework and leaves the rest to me. [raises a brow] Never took you as one to fancy red-heads.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

But if she's just doing the housework, what use is she other than just a prize? I enjoy discussions, I'd have someone else do the work.

[he pauses] Ah... I partially blame Queen Galleia of Atlantis. Lovely woman. She quite fancied me.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

I find broads don't do what you want them to do, so I get enough discussion with the missus as is.

[now he knows you're making it up] I call bollocks. Atlantis isn't real.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Mmm, that's generally how it is with everyone, really.

[he rolls his eyes] As are the following things: resurrection, aliens, time-travel, talking animals, anthropomorphic animals, and everything else here, right?

Atlantis is trifling compared to that... and either way, it was only destroyed due to my doing. Pity, really.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Same for you, then?

[opens his mouth, pointing, then snaps it shut] Should have known you'd be behind something like that, then.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Galleia, for example. Ahhh, she fawned over me, admired me... and after I had her and she placed me on the throne, usurping the rightful King in the process... well, she became less than pleased. Something about how I wasn't doing what she wanted. She was intelligent but didn't know when to keep her mouth shut.

[he sighs]

I wasn't out to destroy Atlantis. It was simply a side-effect.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you being a bastard had nothing to do with that.

[snorts] If that's what they're calling it now.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

It was in my younger days, Mr. Hunt. She saw me as powerful, as a man who could get whatever he desired. Some women enjoy it.

[he chuckles] Honestly, Atlantis was simply an unfortunate loss. My intentions were towards something else entirely.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Too bad she can't see you now, then.

[shakes his head] And those would be?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

She wasn't too important anyway. Interesting, but I couldn't deal with her long term.

Ah, I was simply attempting to gain control of Kronos so that I might have dominion over all over all of the universe.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

That worked out for you well, I see.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Considering she was planning to put me into eternal torture for having dared to try to control her... I'd say 'yes, it did'. I don't fancy eternal torture.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Well damnit, where is she? Wouldn't mind having you strung up for a bit because of a broad.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he laughs] Off in her own dimension, I'd expect - if you wanted her, you'd have to get a certain crystal, which was destroyed with Atlantis. So, you'd have to travel back when it still existed... and prior to me having it.

[he's grinning madly] Only problem would be if you did that, I'd never summon her, thus never telling you about it now, meaning you wouldn't go to get it... ad infinitum. I love a good paradox.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[and that? that just hurt Gene's head, thanks a lot] What the hell are you on about now, Frenchie?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he sighs] A time paradox. You know the 'Grandfather Paradox', yes?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Isn't that where you're your own granddad or some shite like that?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

One version of it, yes.

The other is where you, for whatever reason, kill your grandfather and as a result, you don't exist - but if you don't exist, you didn't kill your grandfather, so he never dies. And that means you do exist.

It's a very convoluted mess.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

It's all a bunch of gobbledeegook to me, frankly.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

One has to memorise these sorts of things in the time travel business. Perhaps you ought to count yourself lucky that it isn't your line of work.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

I'd disagree on principle, but I don't see the point.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he raises a brow for a moment]

...Mm, there's a pub around here, yes?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[nods, crossing his arms and looking the Master over] There is. Don't know if it's still around after that explosion that happened a week back or so, though.
