073 - THE MASTER? GLOATING? SHOCKING.

[Filtered away from the real Doctors AND SAM LOL because I don't want to self thread]

Citizens of the Barge:

Let's play a game, courtesy of the Professor.

Now, any of you familiar with film, television, the printed word, the spoken word-- any means of storytelling, really-- know that there is one consistency in nearly every tale of 'good triumphs over all': the antagonist brings about his own defeat. Oh, he'll possess his unique strengths-- typically, he is simply superior to the protagonist, in intellect, skill, poise, etcetera. But he will always possess that One. Fatal. Flaw. Vanity, hubris, a dreadfully short temper, a penchant for colourful speeches of world domination, what have you. I'm sure our Inmate populace knows all too well what I'm talking about here. It is how the great fall to the good.

We all possess that flaw here.

For example, my old enemies know that I have a little thing for wordplay. Ohhh what can I say? I simply can't resist letting my true name leak into my alter egos. And that is why, citizens, the game for the day is-- Drumroll, please!

Anagrams.

I'll start.

Sam Tyler.

[OOC: Follows the conclusion of this thread! The icon is the 'Tenth Doctor' disguise he used to fool Ace into letting him into the TARDIS. Now, he's bragging.

ALSO. KATES. The Master stole some stuff for a future plot-- as was approved already-- but whatever he took wouldn't impair the TARDIS's functions. However, he probably did mess around with things to be a dick, but whatever he messed with would be reversible, so I'll leave it up to you what he actually did]

What are you on about?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Play with the letters, Rose Tyler. Surely, you can manage that.

[roseoftime.livejournal.com]

Fine. "Masterly." Your name is in Sam's. Besides it being just as unfortunate as you having Sam's face, what's your bloody point?

[jackmanhyde.livejournal.com]

What's the point of this little game, Saxon?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Tom Jackman.

Your name isn't any fun. Now, Mister Hyde, on the other hand... that can be rearranged as "Remedy This."

Hmm.

I wonder what he's meant to remedy.

[jackmanhyde.livejournal.com]

I don't care for anagrams, especially when they concern Hyde.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Anagrams don't mean anything, they're just word games. I know for a fact that you and Sam are separate people. You took me to see his body, remember?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Oh, congratulations, you are the first person to realise that we do not, in fact, share a body. If that were actually what I was claiming, I would commend you for your brilliant use of deductive reasoning. Can't put one past you, can I?

Oh wait, I can!

Don't presume to understand the workings of my universe, you simple little ape.

"What was the man's name, who broke his leg?" xD

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

When Sam and I first visited the enclosure together, what was it like inside?

[remarkablyblunt]

Scramble my name and you get Defers Bathrooms. Or Freshest Bad Room, Beads From Others, Basted Horse Form... The list goes on. And that's only if you use my proper legal name. Think of the possibilities should my nickname become involved!

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like that. What's your nickname?

[remarkablyblunt]

Tommy. Last name Beresford.

... Bestrode My Form, amongst others.

[The internet lied to me before - there are like 400+ anagrams for Sam Tyler? I think? In his boredom, Alpha's written them all out, and he also threw in a few in other languages as well.]

Congratulations, you stimulated my intellect for all of twenty seconds.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, you took my entry literally.

You can get 'Lunacy' out of 'Lucy Saxon' but there's stuff left over. :c

[sellyoumysoul.livejournal.com]

You do look ever so much alike, darling. I knew it couldn't be a coincidence...

ALMOST PERFECT

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I can never slip one past you, my darling.

he's been reading! wow.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I didn't think we lived in any of those.

I don't know what's going off here, but if he's not a coincidence, then what am I?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

An anomaly.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Masterly. Whatever, it doesn't mean anything.

Because, of course, the Admiral could easily be fooled into giving you warden status and an inmate.

And you, of course, would really just pop up and tell us who you were when your ruse was working so well. Sure.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Well done, you missed every single point but one. Goodness, I don't know how anybody can ever best somebody as brilliant as you.

Normally, I find stupidity amusing, but after the other responses, it's growing quite tiresome.

[Transmission Cut :c]

He totally doesn't think you're Sam :c

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

But Comrade, think of the advantage you have to go with it! Instantly spawning sideburns!

That's not reaaaally his intent here. The lie's only for canon mates :P

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

And a fabulously kitschy wardrobe to go with them!

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

What kind of game are you playing now?

Private

[roseoftime.livejournal.com]

Armand...

Help...

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I told you: Anagrams.
