073 - THE MASTER? GLOATING? SHOCKING.

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]

Oh, don't be like that. We twins ought to stick together.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I thought I was the anomaly and he was the twin.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I like to think of twins as an anomaly. I don't consider the DCI a twin; he's something else.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Right. I was wondering how there could be twins when there were three of us. For the record, I quite enjoy being the twin with the beard.

1/2 LOLL I missed this loveliness

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

[He's just pouting now.]

2/2

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Typically, that would make you the bad one.

beards!

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Typically, yes. And yet, the universe has different opinions.

Although, typically, I'm also the manly one.

You make him cry. On the inside :c

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

You have never witnessed the magnificence of my beard!

slowly destroying the beard pride of the master's past selves. Sexby quite enjoys it.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you could grow one. You're all clean shaven and effeminate like that. Not even a scar on you...

The stupidest things upset him :c

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

My past selves have had a full and lush beards! I merely chose not to grow one in this body because beards don't poll well with the voters!

And if you want to talk about scars, you should have seen my original body by the end of its run.

sexby's enjoying this one too much. strikes readable, btw.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Voters indeed. All the leaders in my lifetime had proper beards! admittedly, all three were tyrants. Also, your past selves don't really count for beard growing prowess. You have my face, and yet are beardless. It's almost quite sad. I'm almost embarrassed.

And, yet, there's not so much as a scratch on you. Again, past selves don't count. You've never seen the sharp end of a sword or musket.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

That could be why the modern ruler refrains from beards, you know. Too many nasty associations.

I'll have you know I have been shot many times! Once in this very body!

Sexby may yet regret asking this one.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

There are plenty of us who stand against tyrants who are bearded too. Myself, John Lilburne, Thomas Rainsborough... Beards are hardly a political object.

Really? Ever felt the sharp sting of steel? Ever lost a limb? Thought you were going to be blinded?

Who's more accident prone: THE MANLY FACE OFF

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Hmm, let's see... I've been shot with all sorts of firearms, burnt, rapidly decayed, sucked into the Eye of Harmony, and-- ah, my personal favourite-- thrown into a black hole. That was a nasty one.

Have you ever felt your very being destroyed on such a fundamental level?

dundundun. Drumroll please.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I doubt I'd even have the opportunity of the latter three. I've survived 17th century field hospitals - people burning the end of my severed hand with nothing to numb the pain but drink.

No, I haven't. But I've walked into battle hundreds of time knowing my complete and utter destruction was possible, without flinching at the thought.

Oh, and I've got a beard. Just in case you forgot.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

...















BLACK HOLE. I win!

bwahahaha. love the master.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

So you won't mind if I stroke my beard in thought, will you?

AND I LOVE SEXBY.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Keep your rubbish beard! I neither want nor need one!

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Alright, enjoy your little boy's face.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

This...

THIS is your true face! Behold it!

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

The true face of me when I was 14.

His most impotent threat EVER:

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I will make you regret the day you ever grew that beard.

bwahaha. beard wars are on.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

What are you going to do? Shave me?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

You'll find out in due time!

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

I'll watch and wait and keep my razor blade somewhere safe.
