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]

I very much doubt you want my company. Haven't we established that you find me incredibly dull and uninteresting?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I'm talking to you, aren't I? That would indicate the opposite.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

The please, monsieur, enlighten me on the reason for this sudden interest?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

There's no sudden interest. As I recall, I have been bothering you for quite some time.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

Not lately. I hoped you'd forgotten.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I was busying myself with other things.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you can go back to that quite easily then.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

But I'm at a point now where I can multi-task.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

I have other matters on my mind at the moment. I'll have to reschedule. How does next month look for you?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Would those matters begin with an R and end in an E?

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

What business is that of yours?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

The Doctor is my oldest friend. I'd hate to see him hurt by an unfaithful... companion.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

We've done nothing wrong. Let the Doctor look to his own affairs.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure you've been so perfectly careful about that. How tragic. It must be torture, spending so much time with the girl, unable to act on your heart's strongest desires...

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

Leave us alone, Master.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

You keep saying that as though it will work.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

A man can hope.
