004 [video/action]

[Absentmindedly constructing death rays is rather pointless when one has a sonic screwdriver, and there's just not enough things to tinker with in this place. The Master's getting bored. Very, very easily. As usual. For now, he's back at the library, flipping through books.

And by flipping through books, it's literally flipping through them. Book after book, novel after novel is being read at superhuman speed, hundreds of pages in mere seconds. Two dozen hardcovers in, the Master tosses the latest read one over his shoulder, sighing.]

Two weeks already. Two. Weeks. There must be something.



[[ooc: Anyone's welcome to join him at the library! :D]]

Not human yourself, are you? Something struck me as different about you, though I've yet to quite place it.

As for me? Time Lord.

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

No. I haven't been human in nearly six hundred years.

To save you the trouble, I'm a vampire.

A Time Lord? Care to elaborate?

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Vampires! Did you know that us Time Lords share 98% of our genes with you lot?

A species from the planet Gallifrey, which oh so sadly doesn't exist anymore. Essentially the most superior beings in the universe--though were most of them bores! What fun is having the ability to travel space and time if you can't do anything but watch?

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

Do you now?

So, let me guess, you're the one who got bored of your comrades and decided to mess around in time?

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

We do.

One of them, yes. You could say I got inspired by an old, dear friend of mine.

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

I suppose then the time travelling abilties are the 2% missing from the vampire I am and those down my line?

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

That would be correct, in a manner of fashion--it isn't as if we can physically time travel ourselves. We have ships that do it. But as the species name implies, we of course have quite the affinity to time in general.

Shame, I'd go back and relive World War II over and over again...

Do you have a name?

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Earth's World War II, I take it? Pleasant memories?

[Pause. Ah, hell, why not, this guy seems interesting enough.]

The Master.

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

Yes. Earth. The lucky planet. And so on with all the names its been given.

Well, I must say that for an alien, you look rather...humaniod.

My name is Alucard.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Time Lords don't look like humans. Humans look like Time Lords.

[Smile!] A pleasure to meet you, then, Alucard.

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

I suppose that depends on one's point of view. And dimension in the case of this place.

[He returns the smile with a fangy grin] Likewise.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Where I come from, us Gallifreyans came into existence long before humans.

So. How long have you been in this lovely little place?

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

A year and seven months.

Give or take a day.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

[He raises an eyebrow at that.]

I better have found a way out before that long passes for me. A year, two years--it's hardly anything to me, but it passes so slow when a place is this boring!

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

The action picks up now and then.

But I feel about the same as you do on the matter. Time in the wastes passes the long hours, but even I can't spend more than a week out there. Nothing fit to eat afterall.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Good. I hope something happens that isn't simply music playing out of nowhere, as fun as it was to listen to while it lasted. [He gives a near-overdramatic sigh.] What I wouldn't give for a Scissor Sisters album...

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

Thankfully I missed that week.

For the most part.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

That little thing started the day after I first got here. Some welcome that was.

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

Could have been worse.

At least you weren't here when food and drink was falling from the sky like rain and snow.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

[Have yet another eyebrow raise.]

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

Yes. You heard right.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Perhaps this place won't be too dull after all, though I have better places to be.

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant.livejournal.com]

Same here.

I was pulled just as things were about to get fun in the war.

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Which war, might I ask? The one you were referring to before?
