007 [accidental video]

[soundsofdrums]

[The first thing that one is able to see on the screen is fire. A decent amount of it. Flames are lighting up a few trees and the ruins of a building that could have already been ruins, could have been whole before--it's hard to tell. Destruction, simply. Thankfully, it's confined to a small area.

The Master is sitting off to the side, absentmindedly twirling his laser screwdriver in his hand. He does not look happy in the least. It's mostly anger, but there's a twinge of sadness there as well. But just a very slight twinge, almost completely unnoticable.]

Doctor, Doctor, Doctor. [He's muttering to himself. Even that is hard to hear, as he's not close to the screen.] My dear Doctor. Just you wait until you get here. Things are going to be a little different.

[A pause, and he grins slightly.]

Playtime is going to change. I'll make it.

[Juliet watches in horror.]

Good sir, what on earth has happened? Are you all right? Do you need any help?

[Because it doesn't occur to her that he could be the one who caused all of that.]

[Oh, the thing is on. He glances to the side.]

I think that I'll be perfectly fine, oh yes.

But, it isn't safe to be so close to a fire. You should get away before it spreads too close.

Burning is hardly a fun thing. [As he knows personally, from back on Sarn.] I don't intend on staying long enough for that.

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

I should think not. Catching a bit of hot wax or oil on one's finger is bad enough.

Do you think that the fire will burn itself out, or should we look for assistance? It would not do to have it spread to the inhabited areas of the city, or drive the beasts from their homes.

It'll burn itself out. It's hardly a big fire.

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

Trouble?

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Not in the least.

[Video]

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

Well, all that destruction... [He smirks a little, trailing off.]

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Just another part of this city.

[Video]

[seehowitends.livejournal.com]

Right, mate.

[scarysnakelady]

Not obsessive at all, I see.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

All people have their fascinations.

[video]

[scarysnakelady]

Oh, sure. Just not everyone's as upfront about them as you are.

[video]

[population-ctrl.livejournal.com]

Was that really necessary?

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Was what? [He's putting on an innocent look, now.] I just happened to stumble across this.

[video]

[population-ctrl.livejournal.com]

And you found it fascinating, I take it.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Flames have a certain beauty to them, do they not?

[video]

[population-ctrl.livejournal.com]

And a certain danger. I prefer beauty that isn't deadly.

[But of course Raven notices the twinge of sadness. But she doesn't understand it unless she hears that name "Doctor". The same Lily had mentioned before.]

How will you make it change, then?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm still working on that! I'm sure I can think of plenty of fun options.

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

Did you look for those rifts we talked about before?

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

It's exactly as so.

A little. Nothing yet!

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Oh. [A vague sign of disappointment but it quickly wears off. Because if he didn't find anything yet, he probably didn't look for the rifts at all. The last person who had found some was a human scientist, so it should have been even easier for a Time Lord.]

How are you planning to make that friend of yours come here then? [Yes, she's gonna pretend she took the "dear Doctor" literally.]

[hardcorecute.livejournal.com]

[Well, here's a disapproving five-year-old.]

Mister, you're supposed to put water on fires, not just stare at them and say weird stuff.
