028 [video]

I've been insane most of my life, but this--this is something else.

[The Master is trying to look amused, but to anyone who knows him well enough, they might be able to tell that his smile is incredibly forced.]

The Gallifreyan equivalent of a mental asylum. How droll. Why even waste their resources on such a thing when there's apparently still a war going on? Hellooooo, Time Lords, you're about to get burned into oblivion. And I get a front row seat to it all this time. Possibly even a participant's badge.

[A pause, and just laughs a bit.] No, nonono. You're getting me good this time, Animus, but you need to try harder. I won't believe a bit of this. You will not tell me that all of this time has been meaningless.

[For a split second, his face goes deadly serious.]

You will not take this away from me.

[...And then comes back the grin, and he cuts off the feed for now.]

Private to the Tenth Doctor // Hackable by the Eleventh if he so desires

How have you be--- [He cuts himself off, pausing as he tries to find a different way to word it.] Have you been going as extra insane as I've been lately? Funny dreams? Being told that none of this is real? I'm stuck back in the bloody Time War. And of course, you're nowhere to be found.

But no. None of that is real. What kind of cruel universe would we live in, if all the lovely things we've gone through together since then were suddenly, whoosh, disappeared? Just a figment of my twisted imagination? Like that could ever be the case.

[But there's a hint of unsureness in his gaze. He chews a little on his bottom lip before just turning off the PCD.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Hearing Lord Saxon's vehement denial of what has been happening cheers her. If he is completely sure this place is real, then it must be. Must it not?]

I pray that you are right, Lord Saxon. I truly do. I do not want what I see when I am not here to be real.

[She looks worried the moment the words leave her lips, and she mutters, mostly to herself, but still audible.]

The Reverend Mother will take away my bread and water ration if I have said as much in my sleep. I hope that I have not.

...what have you been dreaming, Juliet?

A cell. A small cell, with the door bricked-over, save a small place where one of the nuns who remains uncloistered may pass through bread and water, and one small window near the tall ceiling, which lets in the sunlight sometimes. And all that lies within the room is a bed and a crucifix on the wall. I can walk but seven steps across it, and its length is only large enough to accommodate the cot and blanket which make my bed.

I - I do not like it, Lord Saxon. The Reverend Mother has told me such things - I fear her words will drive me mad, if I am not gone down that path already. It is so lonely there. I do not even see the Reverend Mother, only hear her voice, and only if I am wicked and do not pray as I am bid to pray.

If you are dreaming that you're being told that this isn't real--as am I--maybe it's not a coincidence, then. It must be the Animus, it must.

That is exactly what she says, Lord Saxon. She claims my madness in envisioning this place drove my Romeo to take his life, and that I must pray for all the souls I have ruined with my delusions. And if I am not earnest enough in my prayers, she will not give me bread and water. She has already denied me one crust of bread.

[But - if it's the Animus.... Oh, would that it were! Then she really would be here, and not walled up for the rest of her life. She nods vigorously.]

I - do you really think that it is a trick of the Animus? Both places seem so real.... But, I hope that you are correct, Lord Saxon. I want more than anything for that to be the case.

Sounds to me like you need to give 'em the slip.

Who? The Animus?

Edited 2011-11-24 05:02 (UTC)

Yeah, them.

It's not so easy.

It's a breeze if you have a plan.

If you don't like the dreams then the obvious solution is don't sleep.

Time Lords don't need as much sleep as humans. I've beeen attempting to stay awake, but oh no. The Animus somehow are forcing me to. Every night, same time, magically out like a light.

Zettabytes for you.

It sounds like the beginning of a song.

Edited 2011-11-25 17:01 (UTC)

It does, doesn't it? Pity that I haven't ever gotten around to learning composing.

[He's been suspiciously absent for a few days, right around the time the (worse) nightmares started, but here he is, looking rather exhausted and rubbing at his eyes slightly.]

No I...I've been having nightmares too. [There's a pause, then a barely stifled yawn before he looks blearily at the screen.]

...I might actually come home now.

Your bloody disappearance hasn't been helping things any. ...the cats are complaining. Get back here.

[It's not just the cats, of course, but...]

It's not like I'm very far away. If you'd really wanted to find me, you could have just looked around for a bit. [His sigh turns into another yawn.]

I'm on my way.

That's hardly the point. [He's too prideful to have gone looking for him, really.

For now, he just shuts off the PCD, sitting there on his bed. The kittens are curled up near him, looking at him curiously, but they don't do much else for now.]
