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.]

It's a breeze if you have a plan.

Do you?

I might. Don't you?

I've been a tad distracted as of late.

You should only let a fine woman or an adventure distract you. Anything else is just asking for trouble.

Need a hand?

The last time a "fine woman" distracted me for even a brief moment, she shot and killed me. I'd call that asking for trouble. And oh, I haven't gone on a proper adventure since I was a child.

You're talking up quite the storm for a dead man. Anyways, that sounds like as good of a reason as any to start out on one now.

I tend to do that. Died a good dozen and a half times so far, actually. Not always very fun.

And yes, true, but there's hardly much in the way of adventures here.
