[It's not for Christmas shopping this year that the Master is round about the City. He's just making several trips around; back and forth to where he works, for one. But mainly he's hoping to find the TARDIS while the Doctor's not in it. If he could break into the TARDIS...well. The sky's the limit as far as he's concerned and the Doctor's hardly

[ Have a Cameron walking home from the hospital, not paying too much attention to where she's going. ]

[neverendingbeat]

[I'll take your Cameron and raise you a Time Lord who is paying attention to everything except for where his feet are taking him. Which is into Cameron. And very nearly under some mistletoe at a lamp. If either of them moves slightly or if the mistletoe grows a little bit more towards them...

The Master frowns at being interrupted but pastes a polite look on his face.]

Pardon me.

[heelsandlaw]

[ Have a Cameron who stumbles a little with a sound of pain, hands going around her stomach reflexively to protect her not quite healed wound. First reaction is to bitch at him, but she swallows that down. ]

Sorry. [ Mumbled, and she steps aside and baaack just a little to avoid him. Which brins her right under the mistletoe, oops. ]

[neverendingbeat]

[Noticing the noise and her stance, the Master makes a 'tch' sound and looks properly concerned.]

I'm dreadfully sorry; are you alright?

[And the slight movement he makes towards her in order to check that he's alright turns from a fairly innocuous motion into reaching to cup her face with his hand and leaning in.]

Hiyori is walking back from the Hall of the Missing, paying some attention to her surroundings now that she knows what curse day it is, but still not as much as she should be, considering her preoccupation.

She does see the Master, though, and briefly considers going over to say hi. She also not so briefly considers blowing right past him.

[neverendingbeat]

The Master sees her trying to go past, and she is still rather a source of amusment to him. Or, at least he knows she can be counted upon to be amusing. So when she tries to ignore him, he smiles brightly at her and says, "Oh, hello, Hiyori." Loudly.

[doujin_dork]

Any gratuitous loudness is seen as genuine. After all, it's been a while since she's seen him. And- well, his hair's changed, maybe he's changed a bit as well. She can't help but smile a little; she knew him through a few people who she's been missing, lately. Normally she wouldn't be this stupid, you know, probably, but she's hopeful, and kind of lonely.

"Hi, Harry!" She starts walking towards him.

Not very far, mind you, she's not completely insane yet.

[neverendingbeat]

Ha. Well. That's a new reaction to him from Hiyori. The question is, is it an interesting one? The Master heads towards her as she does likewise, wanting to meet her halfway.

"How have you been keeping yourself? I haven't seen you for quite some time, have I?"

[hidesinrestroom]

[Someone is taking full advantage of this curse day and when he sees the Master? Oh, his day couldn't get better. He calls out and waves his hand]

Oh, Master~ What a coincidence!

[neverendingbeat]

[The Master waggle-fingers-waves back.]

A coincidence? Why, exactly?

[hidesinrestroom]

[Time to putter over]

I was just thinking to myself that I hadn't seen you in person for a while.

[neverendingbeat]

Ah. Well. Here I am!

[He gestures widely with his arms and bobs his head slightly to indicate himself. And Raikov can just do all the walking if he's coming over in the first place. The Master stands his ground.]
