GOOD END/BAD END MEME

Comments

The Master--Doctor Who

[ofdrumsthesound]

Good End: He's sane again. As sane as he was in childhood, before the drumming ever started. Nothing of them remain, and he is glad of it.

Sometimes he has bad dreams, of course. About the crimes he committed, the things he did--but then he wakes up and has breakfast with his friends and it's alright again.

It's a good way to end the story, isn't it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bad End: They're all dead. Everyone who was ever the least bit kind to him is dead, now and forever.

They were delicious. He even has some leftovers still, a few tortured things waiting for him to dine.

They'll never leave him now. They'll be with him for the rest of his long life. He hears their ghosts whispering to him. And it's not such a bad way for the long story to end.

3 - Good

Well, it's probably mostly good, except when Rose is busy being smug. Or competing a bit too hard.

Care to try the bad end, too?

[ofdrumsthesound]

"Hey there, Rose." He smiles slightly, then sighs. "I dreamed about the drums last night. I hope your dreams were better."

As the nommed or the not yet nommed?

[lone_defender]

She offers him a sympathetic smile at that. "Mine were good, yeah. You alright? Nothing different from the usual fare, yeah?"

Whichever you want

[ofdrumsthesound]

"I'm fine. The memories of what I did in those days just come back sometimes is all."

'Not yet' might be easier to do XD

[lone_defender]

"Not too badly though, I hope?"

Bit more depressing, though. And you could always play a ghost

[ofdrumsthesound]

"No, not too badly.

"So, what should we have for breakfast?"

--Good point, the ghosts!

[lone_defender]

She holds up a take-out bag with a tiny smile. "This, maybe?"

[ofdrumsthesound]

". . . yeah, that sounds good."

[lone_defender]

She grins at that. "Thought it might. Catch."

[ofdrumsthesound]

He catches it and grins. "Yay!"

6 - Bad

[lone_defender]

At least one ghost who's stuck around seems to have gotten comfortable, if her sitting on a nearby ledge and swinging her feet is any indication. If she's a ghost and not just a sign of madness.

"You'll get a rash if you don't wash that out."

[ofdrumsthesound]

"What?" He looks at her and frowns. "Are you going to hang around and tell me I'm horrible, than?"

[lone_defender]

"D'you expect me to?"

[ofdrumsthesound]

"Well, I did sort of . . . eat you."
