mydadsthedoctorDad, would it be okay if we had a chat somewhere outside the house. I was thinking sometime around midnight. Not like we have a whole lot to do around that time anyway considering most people are sleeping.

Date: 2010-04-21 05:45 am (UTC)Dad, what's going on?
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-21 06:12 am (UTC)[He says this very seriously, looking her square in the eye.]
I've known the Master for many, many years. He's not...bad - well, he might be, a bit...No, no, no not bad so much as a little... Not completely right in the head. He's stone cold brilliant, mind you. Always has been. And he's very much a people person.
But that's why you've got to listen to me. Whatever you do, don't let your guard down. Say as little as you can. Don't give him any important information that he might be able to use against you. He's dangerous because he's so charismatic. I'm not sure exactly what he could get up to here, but I'd advise you that it might be best not to trust him.
[The Doctor sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose.]
Let me deal with him first. I'll be keeping an eye on him for a while, to make sure he's not up to any of his old tricks. If he does prove to be trustworthy and perhaps a useful ally to our getting out of here, then you can listen to him as much as you want. Until then, I'm telling you to be extremely careful.

Date: 2010-04-21 06:18 am (UTC)What kind of important information shouldn't I give him exactly?
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-21 06:31 am (UTC)[He's really hoping she understands this.]
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-21 06:40 am (UTC)So I should probably be extra on guard from now on then? [Just the way she asked that question and her actions alone say that it's too late to take back what she's said to the Master.]
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-21 06:49 am (UTC)Please tell me he doesn't know you're my daughter. Because if I does then I suggest you don't turn your back. And from now on, don't listen to anything he says. I know that sounds awful, but you've got to be safe.

Date: 2010-04-21 06:57 am (UTC)[Though she has to admit, it would have been nice to know this sooner.]

Date: 2010-04-21 07:16 am (UTC)An ideal situation would be to encourage the Master that it would in his best interest to work with us and help us come up with a way to get out as opposed to working against us - or worse. But I know that's quite a lot to ask of him. For the longest time we were the only two left in the entire universe and he still chose death over letting me help him.

Date: 2010-04-21 02:07 pm (UTC)Brilliant.
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-21 08:15 pm (UTC)Doesn't mean we should give up now, though. Right now he's relatively harmless. I say relatively, as even without any real weapons on hand his greatest tool has always been his mind. I'm sure with enough determination he could talk himself into something big that might result in complete and utter chaos.
However, I've managed to get back my sonic - more or less, certain things don't work right for some odd reason - but I haven't the foggiest if he'll be able to get his laser screwdriver. For all our sake, I hope not. But the fact I've got mine doesn't exactly bode well.
Underneath all that lip he's still a Time Lord like me - like us. He's going to have similar instinctive patterns. Since neither of us require much of the same necessities as the humans we should be able to look out for him just fine. Jack's dealt with the Master before as well, so I'm pretty sure he'll be willing to lend a hand if he were to stir up some trouble. But I'd reckon it'd be best if for now we kept all this amongst ourselves. There's no reason to cause anyone else worry - especially after that killing spree that just went on. This is between us.
[And he's realized he just went on a huge tangent and cuts himself off, thrusting his hands deep into his pockets as he looks off to the distance.]

Date: 2010-04-21 08:34 pm (UTC)Single-handedly, he's fully capable of mass genocide. I've seen it. Like I've said before, he's got a lot of charisma. Once he's got people under his spell it's like they're his own private army, more or less.

Date: 2010-04-22 12:10 pm (UTC)You can help keep watch in case he starts something. But if he does, I don't want you jumping into anything. And no one is to know that he might be a potential danger - causing unnecessary panic is not something people need right now. Do I make myself clear?

Date: 2010-04-22 09:20 pm (UTC)You're free to talk to him, in fact I'd like you to. He doesn't have to know that you're aware of who he is. Just so long as you're more careful with the information you divulge.
But - I should warn you... If you start hearing anything that sounds like some sort of drumbeat, I want you to tell me, alright? It's one of the things he's used to hypnotize people in the past.
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-22 09:30 pm (UTC)Drumbeat? What kind of drumbeat?
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-22 09:40 pm (UTC)It's a rhythm of four - almost like a Time Lord's heartbeat. I haven't heard what he's hearing, but he was able to replicate it into a subliminal phone signal. Was able to find it that way - it was how he won the Prime Minister election on Earth. But that's so very much him. Forcing people to partake in his own madness.
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-22 09:50 pm (UTC)Like that? [She actually looks slightly upset now, though she's obviously trying to hide it.]
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-22 10:34 pm (UTC)Yes... Exactly like that. Jenny, where have you heard that before?
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-22 10:44 pm (UTC)It was an effect of an experiment on me, compliments of the Malnosso like usual. I think they were using the drums as a kind of trigger at the time.
[Action]
Date: 2010-04-22 10:57 pm (UTC)Well... [The Doctor chuckles grimly.] They're far more clever than I had been giving them credit for. They certainly have been doing their research.
Alright. If you hear it again, though, especially around the Master - I'll need to know. It might mean he's up to something again.
