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.

Theta

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.

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

Koschei

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

Come now, don't be like that.

[gingersnark.livejournal.com]

Because they're cats?

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

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.

[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.

Saxon

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

Master.

Five

[iheardrums.livejournal.com]

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.

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.

[abadgirl.livejournal.com]

Dogs do, get a dog.

Koschei

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

You can still be unpredictable.

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

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

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

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.

[abadgirl.livejournal.com]

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

Saxon

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Art is creation, not destruction.

If I truly wanted to, Master, I wouldn't.

Five

[iheardrums.livejournal.com]

Perhaps that's how you see it. What else is sculpture but destroying stone until it takes the form you want it to?

[tapping his fingers] While you're in your Tenth's mind, you might want to peek at his memories and see what Lucy thought of our little session. She's the one who encouraged me to do it, you know - and she was linked in with us throughout.

Koschei

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

I can always count on you.

Well, that's another question entirely.

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

Delicate, noisy little things.

[abadgirl.livejournal.com]

Bullshit, they can rip a grown man's face off.

But yeah, yappy.

[thegoodturk.livejournal.com]

Cats are smart.

Saxon

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

And what form did you want?

[quietly, tightly] I'll keep a note of it.

Five

[iheardrums.livejournal.com]

If I told you, then it would be ruining centuries of careful work, and not just a night's.

Theta

[sinister-charm.livejournal.com]

You really oughtn't.


Hmm?

[broken-clock.livejournal.com]

I didn't say 'harmless'. And that doesn't particularly endear me to the idea.
