The Master/Doctor Who

(You don't want to see his nightmares, trust me.)

[The Doctor had his ears covered and eyes screwed shut.]

...You hear the drums even when asleep?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Of course I do, Doctor, they're a very large part of me by now. I hear the drums and I see the War, it's been that way since Martha pointed out my fob-watch to poor old Yana.

And even Yana dreamed of drums.

[captoftardis]

[He didn't exactly know how to react, except being annoyed at how loud they were, as if his own skull was rattling with them.]

Nuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh, Make it stop...!

[Couldn't the Master dream of happier things like the sweets of Gallifrey or a first snowfall of the winter season on Earth?]

[ofdrumsthesound]

*Sorry, no. His dreams are all sucky, the poor bastard.* Make what stop?

Oh, you mean the drums? Dunno why you're complaining, they're being quiet tonight.

[captoftardis]

That's good to know...

[The Doctor studied him for a moment, and slowly removed his hands. He was determined if the Master could hand it, he could too.]

[ofdrumsthesound]

See, it's not so bad. Hell, you can barely hear them over the rest of the Time War!

Or I can't, anyway. they might be louder for you, I have a sort of 'deaf spot' when it comes to them by now.

[captoftardis]

The... Time War?

[And then as if a button had been pushed, everything became so very clear around him and the drumming just seemed such a minute detail.]

Right, of course you'd dream about this... If it weren't for the drumming I'd think it's my own nightmare.

I have my idea about what a lot of the Time War things were in my journal somewhere . . .

*The Horde of Travesties is marching. The Could've-Been King smiles bitterly, and his face is hauntingly familiar. Even more familiar, horribly so, is the Nightmare Child--because that Child is the Master, his broken body absorbing all the energy of that Last Day. He giggles and bounces and the huge, swirling energy vortex around him mimics his movements, swatting ships out of the air. The Dalek Emperor's ship goes by and the Master makes a biting movement that causes his energy shadow to snap the ship out of the air and 'swallow' it down.

*At the Doctor's side, the dreaming Master chuckles slightly.* He was tasty. Not as tasty as Rassilon, but not bad.

[captoftardis]

[The Doctor stood silently, looking around him. Everything was exactly as he remembered and maybe more.]

This IS a dream, right? We didn't just somehow arrive here...

[ofdrumsthesound]

No, it's a dream. But I was there on the Last Day, so I guess my nightmares tend to be more detailed than yours.

Sorry my replies are really slow, am tired.

[captoftardis]

Yeah... I don't remember some of this, yet I remember all of it.

It's fine.

[ofdrumsthesound]

It's what I remember. Different perspectives, you know?

[captoftardis]

Right, but this time I was in th'TARDIS... finishing my final plans, I think.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Whereas half of me had already run, and the other half was, well, that. *He points at the Nightmare Child, who is laughing insanely at the heart of his personal energy storm and wildly flailing his arms.*

[captoftardis]

[The Doctor looks on with a frown on his face. Some things he just preferred to not remember. This whole war was definitely one of them as he drempt of it often himself... only without those annoying drums.]

Can't I... wake you up some how? Change the dream to maybe us running in the yard chasing stars like we did as children?
