I'll assume I'd have caught on if you were torturing one of me? Regardless, please don't make it worse. I might be in his TARDIS for a bit, if my Eighth needs me to help with him.

Do you think we should bring something to the party?



How would you like a tour of the city? Tomorrow, perhaps?



[his voice isn't loud, or angry; in fact it's completely calm, and utterly assured]

Tell me what you did to him.


Why do cats never cooperate with a role call?

Toyed with him a bit, that's all. [boredly] He'll be fine if you give him a few days to recover. I do know what I'm doing, Doctor.

[sharply] Details, Master. If I'm to clean up your mess yet again I'll need them.

You'll find the equipment I used in my other self's TARDIS. If you hurt him further trying to fix it, it'll be your fault, not mine.

I've a good deal of experience with damaged minds.

Master.

It's less a damaged mind and more a work of art.

[amused] I do think you'd have a hard time slipping me aspirin, you know.

Hmph. Why would I make it worse? He's of no use to me if his mind is shattered.


[a huff] I don't care.

[quietly] I thought as much, but I like to make certain.

Come now, don't be like that.

Theta

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Of course. Really, Theta, you ought to know better of me.


You forget, I enjoy the company of few people.

Koschei

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

You can still be unpredictable.

As do I, but I like something different now and then.

Theta

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

Of course. And as long as you still expect one thing, I shall ever do the opposite.

Thus is why I agreed to go, but if you want to bring someone, I don't care.

[gingersnark.livejournal.com]

Because they're cats?

That sounds nice, actually. I haven't been out there yet.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

...Yes, that's probably it.

[Turlough]

It's quite nice, when it's not being devastated. We can make a day of it.

There's also...a party, on our floor. It should be amusing, at least.

[gingersnark.livejournal.com]

I think most places would be nice without all of the destruction, yeah. All right, it sounds like fun.

A party? That's certainly... interesting.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

...You haven't seen any of them, by any chance?

[Turlough]

Brilliant!

Isn't it? I'm not fond of them as a rule, but it's...something different.

[gingersnark.livejournal.com]

Jo was in here a few minutes ago -- she left in a huff when I wouldn't let her have my pen.

[Five]

I'll say. Who's hosting it?

[abadgirl.livejournal.com]

Dogs do, get a dog.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Dogs are loud, messy, and entirely too dependent to be kept in a TARDIS.

[abadgirl.livejournal.com]

Not if you get one of those cute little Chihuahuas or Teacup Poodles!

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Delicate, noisy little things.

[thegoodturk.livejournal.com]

Cats are smart.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Very, but not overly reliable.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Dogs would be distracted from the role call by a passing leaf.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

[faint laugh]

It's true that not all dogs are the same.
