[It may look and sound like the Doctor on screen now, but it's actually the Master, still stuck in his body. The Time Lord looks more than a little worn out, and he's rubbing his temples.]

Your damned brain is too weak to properly deal with this, Doctor. You already owe me quite a bit, and this is going on your tab--and it's going to be a sizable charge.

[He grumbles, sitting down on his bed. Temporarily taking the drums back into his own mind had sounded like a decent idea on paper (even if he still didn't know why he was being nice), but he hadn't counted on the fact that the Doctor's physical brain just couldn't handle it very well. The sound's been louder and sharper and more painful than it's been in a long time, and he's had a constant migraine.]

My damned kingdom for some painkillers, or at least to be back in my own body.

[What? No. He totally isn't lounging at Juliet's place with tea. Why would you ever think that? He's still got a bit of a headache himself, though it's died down considerably.]

I've got an idea. How about we trade back, mmm? You can be the Master again, and I'll be the Doctor. [No, he's not exactly amused by this anymore either.]

[Yeah, just leave him sulking in miserable pain all alone at home, Doctor. Pfft.]

Trust me, if I had the power to do so, I'd have my body back.

[It's not like Juliet wouldn't invite you over too if you just asked.]

...How are you doing? Can you manage on your own or do you want me to come home?

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

[That would assume that the Master isn't a stubborn ass. Which he is.]

I think I can manage without you playing housewife.

[Hey. Not the Doctor's problem.]

You're just complaining a lot, that's all.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

I think that I have the right to.

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

I didn't say that you didn't.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

As I said, you owe me big time.

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

I made you tea and brought you crackers! Isn't that good enough?

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

[He's staring at you, Doctor. Just. Staring.]

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

...My stare isn't as intimidating as I thought it was. That's disappointing.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

You couldn't be intimidating if you tried.

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

Weeeeeeell that's definitely not true. I think the Daleks would disagree there.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Oh, please, like it takes much to mess with those stupid pepper shakers.

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

Those "stupid pepper shakers" are the reason Gallifrey's gone, remember?

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

[He almost, almost says "No, Doctor. You are." But right now, he's not in the mood for the angry emo Doctor that would arise from that comment, so he keeps his mouth shut.]

And they did kill me once--and I rather liked that body, Trakenite or once. Doesn't matter, they're still stupid pepper shakers to me.

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

[He just raises an eyebrow and shakes his head.] Oh Master.

[video] ...I meant to say "or not", not "or once". fffft

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

What?

[video] SUDDENLY IT MAKES MORE SENSE XD

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

You're ridiculous.

[video] SHUT UP TODAY'S BEEN A LONG DAY

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

How am I ridiculous?

[video] i know bb i know <3333

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

You just are.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

That's not a valid explanation.

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

...Why not?

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

...Because it's not.

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

That's not a valid explanation of why explanation isn't valid.
