031 [video]

[The Master does not exactly look as if he's in the best of states. His normally immacuate shirt is stained with blood, a smear of it dried on his cheek. But it isn't his. His eyes are tired and he looks clearly worn down, exhausted.

Defeated.

Even his voice is hoarse when he speaks.]

A public service announcement to whoever is friends with the Doctor. He's---incapacitated at the moment, and will be for a little while. Knowing this place, hopefully no more than a few days, but I can't make any guarantees. And before I start getting the automatic blame--I'm looking at you, Harkness--I had nothing to do with it. If I killed him, it'd be in a much more dignified fashion than this.

You'll just have to wait a bit for your savior of the universe to get back to his usual business.

[He looks offscreen for several moments before swallowing, leaning in and quickly shutting the PCD off afterward.]

Because 'dignified' involves keeping him in a birdcage for half a year, right? [There's not too much malice in those words, however, Jack just looks tired and a bit hurt.]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

That would be business between he and myself. Business neither of us really care about anymore.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Doesn't mean the rest of us have forgotten it.

I couldn't care less if I tried with all my hearts.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Whatever.

[A pause.] Where is he?

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Home.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Alright, good.

Do not do this today, sir. Can you not see he is grieving?

He's not the only one here who cares about the Doctor, alright?

I know that he is not. But saying such things to him will help neither of you. Please, please set your anger at him aside, just for now. For the Doctor's sake if nothing else. Please, just - do not say mean-spirited things. Think them all you like, but do not say them to him.

[She exhales slowly. That...was far easier than she'd thought.]

Thank you. Truly, thank you.

[It's only because she mentioned the Doctor, really. He may have his disagreements with the man, all sorts of issues, but he does still respect him. That's never going to change.]

Mmn.
