016 [video, backdated to Saturday]

[The Master isn't quite looking at the PCD when it turns on. Currently, he's laid up in a bed in the clinic, bandages wrapped around his head and various parts of his body, including his neck. Cuts and bruises litter his skin, and he's looking incredibly worse from the wear. His eyes are hardly focused, as well, and when he speaks, he doesn't even look at the screen yet. His voice is quiet, hoarse even.]

Whoever decided it would be...a funny idea to attack me? ...Big mistake.

[With that, he looks at the screen, gaze hardening for just a brief moment.]

I will find out who you are.

[He goes silent as he looks away and gets that far-off look again. It's fairly obvious that his body wasn't the only thing just recently damaged. After several moments, he reaches over, fumbling for the PCD and turning it off.]

I'd rather feel homesick than this. [Pause.] ...Remember how we used to constantly run through the fields as children? The energy we had back then, heh.

[He laughs a little.]

We may be getting old, but I daresay the both of us still have more than enough energy to go around. Those were good times though, even when you did decide to be a sore loser.

Oh, please. You cheated.

Only once, to get back at you for doing the same. The rest of the time was pure ability. [Because goofing off when he should have been attending the Academy had to pay off somehow, right?]

You had longer legs than me. Obviously it was easier for you. [Excuses, excuses.]

[Grinning that grin]

Whatever you needed to tell yourself to sleep at night.

[He grins back a little. It's weak, but it's there.]

You were such a leech back then.

[molto-ten-e.livejournal.com]

Well, you put up with me, so I couldn't have been that bad, right?

...Tch. You were still an annoyance of a roommate.

[Didn't stop it from Theta being the single most important thing in his life, though.]

...forgiven me yet for that little fire?

No. You burned my three-hundred page temporal physics paper.

[molto-ten-e.livejournal.com]

You still passed the class.

Of course I did. I'm a genius. It took me ages to re-write that paper, though.
