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.]

Psh. [He leans a little closer to brush his nose briefly against the Master's cheek before pulling back.]

[He's more comforted than he'll admit. Mind plagued as he is, at least he has this. The Master doesn't know what to say, but simply radiates a mental wave of general contentment.]

[He smiles slightly and returns it with quiet pleasure of his own. It's nice to just...relax.]

I'll mock you for acting like an overgrown teddy bear later. [Yawn.]

For now you'll just enjoy it. [Ngh, Master, why did you have to yawn? Now he's yawning himself.]

Keep on telling yourself that.

Mm. You can hardly deny it when I can feel how pleased you are.

[He can't dig through his mind for a proper excuse, so simply kicks the Doctor's leg.]

[That just pulls out a rather tired sounding laugh.] I could fall asleep.

So could I. But as much as I'd like to, I can't.

Mmhmm. [He yawns again, head falling onto his shoulder and his hair brushing against the Master's face.]

Don't know why you didn't get a puppy and name it Theta instead of a kitten. [His eyes start to drift closed.]

You're making me want to fall asleep as is, idiot. [Yet he doesn't move.] And I found the kitten first. Wasn't just going to let the poor starving thing sit around until I found something I found more fitting. I like cats better, anyway.

Mmhmm. [Oh he's relaxing wayyyy tooo much right now.]
