[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...

I don't believe that.

[quirks a brow] And that would be?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

If I had the equipment, I'd prove it.

[he sets his glass down]

You know how my virus is, Mr. Hunt. One of these days, I'm going to slip into that bloody frame of mind and not come out of it.

[his eyes narrow to slits]

You hate me, Mr. Hunt. You've no desire to keep me alive or to fix my problem. If it happens, I'd like for you to kill me. I think you'd be able to think of me more as an animal than a person in that state.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[doesn't answer a long time, lips pressed tight] I'm not a murderer and I don't kill cats just because I feel like it.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he sighs] You wouldn't be a murderer - you'd be putting a creature that shouldn't exist out of it's misery.


[he goes back to his glass] If we're both lucky, such a thing needn't happen.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Let's say I would, for whatever reason, shoot you. What makes you think I'd do you any favours? 'specially when those freaks will just bring you back again a couple days down the line and I've gotta deal with you all over again?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he stares down in his glass] I'd be counting on someone, anyone, convincing them not to bring me back. I'm certainly getting a good amount of enemies, after all. Perhaps whoever got this bloody bracelet on me.

[and drink] Thing is, Mr. Hunt? Even if you said you'd do it now and didn't do it when the time came? I wouldn't bloody know.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[shrugs] Seems to me, you hate it that much? Should let you suffer like it.

[frowns and looks at his own drink before finishing it off] No. But I would.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Condemning someone to torment for what could be centuries is a far greater crime than killing an animal.

[he sets his drink down, idly crosses his arms] It's your choice to make, Mr. Hunt. Think on it as much as you need.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, you're a bit of a bastard, aren't you? Figure you deserve it.

[frowns] I said my choice. It isn't changing.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

...Perhaps.

[he finishes his drink, then lapses into silence, thinking]

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[pours himself another drink, finishing it easily, then looks at the Master] If we're done here, I'm headed back to the office. Unless you got something else you wanna request?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

No.

[pause]

It was a pleasure having a civil discussion with you. Let's do it some other time, hm?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Don't go murdering anyone and we'll see.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[the Master smirks and nods]

We'll see, then.
