[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 without a particular kind of soda, of all things, in my system beforehand. Ah, nothing like Gallifreyan biology.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

Bloody hell.

[A pause.]

Gallifreyan?

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Species. I'm a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, back when it still existed.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

And where is Gallifrey?

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

250 million light years away from Earth, give or take.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

You must not make the trip too often.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

It was pretty quick trip, actually, back when I had my TARDIS. There's just nothing like a time and space machine.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

A time and space machine? [Disbelief but omgseriously.]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Correct! I wonder what happened to the old thing...

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

's likely right where you left it.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Therein lies the problem. If it's anywhere, it's at the end of the universe. Bit of a pain to get to without a ship.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

Well, don't think too hard on how to get it back. Once you go home, you'll forget what you figured out.

Or, 's what people who've come back have said.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

How dull. [He leans back in his chair, kicking his feet up onto the desk.]

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it can be.

Well, you can't get drunk. Do you gamble?

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Somewhat, in a manner of speaking.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

There's a couple of us who play cards. I 'spect they play poker. We could probably get games goin'.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Ah, human card games. [He pauses, thinking.] Poker, poker... Yes, I've heard of it before! Well. I'm a quick learner.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

It's a fairly easy game to learn. I can show you some night.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!
