65 // To the Many Visitors

[neverendingbeat]

Calm down, all of you. Really, what's the use in working yourselves up? The City isn't that interesting. I imagine you all must need more exciting lives. Sad, really. And overall, the answer to your questions is generally "no", and don't try to be clever with double negatives. All of your theories are wrong, I can tell you that much before you

Disappointed, sir?
Naught but disappointment lately has
Berated my poor soul. And so, for sooth,
I little care just what this place may be
But let it me relieve of this foul treachery.

[neverendingbeat]

Iambic Pentameter? Cute. Well, this place, if anything, certainly does allow you to escape. Of course, it depends what you're escaping from.

[ur_a_fishmonger]

Betrayal by kin, corruption of state,
Incestuous sheets and murder most foul!

[neverendingbeat]

Oh, pardon. You're a Prince, aren't you. Enjoying your vacation from royal intrigue, then?

[lady_wandering]

You seem as pleasant as ever.

[neverendingbeat]

I pride myself on my unchangeability. How bored you must be without me to liven things up for you.

[lady_wandering]

The Doctor keeps me quite busy enough, thank you.

[neverendingbeat]

Ah, but he's not as good at it as me.

[bakurakrazie]

But most of us can remember being here.

And boo, you're no fun. Don't you like any of us?

[neverendingbeat]

When you're at home, too? How intriguing. I might have to study you, you know, if that is the case.

I'm indifferent to most of you. You're alright. You don't cling to my shins and shove badly characterised, grammatically incorrect fanfiction in my face.

[bakurakrazie]

Not all of us, but yes~ Oh. Wait, study us? You wouldn't happen to mean just by questioning, would you?

Oh! Well that certainly isn't a 'no'. But you're right, I don't. I have good grammar, at the very least.

Although citations don't count.

And I have trouble with who/whom sometimes.

Well, the point is, no I don't. Thank you for saying so.

[neverendingbeat]

Possibly. What makes you different from everybody else? That's the most important question. What are you?

Those bits don't matter unless I'm feeling pedantic. And I'm not sure why you're thanking me for telling the truth. Is it that rare: coming from me?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Hello, me!

[neverendingbeat]

Oh, hello. When are you from? Don't tell me--you're hungry.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Yup! *He grins* I was lucky. Survived the War, got out of the Lock. So many lovely corpses, all that energy kept me alive as the world died. And you can't kill a ghost. Never dying, remember? Well, I took that bit to hearts.

Did you get to eat him yet? The bastard who did this to us? *He taps out the drumbeat* I did! Oh yes, we got him good with that lightning of ours didn't we?

Are you hungry too, still? Or did that get fixed in your timeline? I think I have a few human bits in my pocket, I'd be happy to share.

[neverendingbeat]

Were you? DID you? [The Master looks like he's not sure whether to look pleased about this or not. After all, the multiverse is endless and parallel universes are a fact.] Well! Well done, us!

I haven't eaten him, not yet. He didn't give you indigestion, the pompous insolent airbag? A fitting end, though. Bonus points, I think.

I'm fine, thanks. It isn't fixed in my timeline but it's at least fixed when I'm here.

[ 'ello thar, I'mma just stand here being a statue. ]

[neverendingbeat]

[And the Master is just gonna stand here and not take his eyes off of you, tyvm.]

[justastatue]

[ Pff, well that's no fun. :| ]

[neverendingbeat]

[Well it's not as if he has any other options. WEEPING ANGEL.

Okay, well. One option. Unblinking but he's going to juuuuust.....back. Off. Away from the angel]
