The Master smiled as his TARDIS took on the shape of a 1960's Earth Police Call Box.

Now all he had to do was stay and wait, door ajar. One of those silly companions would dash in sooner or later.

One of those silly companions comes dashing in later rather than sooner. She'd finished the busywork the Doctor had given her (and however necessary the repair, she knew it was busywork: the Doctor had left her alone to do it, instead of staying and working on something else), and went out for a walk. To be honest with herself, she'd have to admit she was looking for him. She didn't like being left out, and even more, she hated the idea of his being in danger alone.

The idea of his being in danger with someone else was even worse.

The Nexus being a vast and confusing place, she ended up getting turned around once or twice, and didn't realize that the TARDIS was in the wrong place. Not once she saw the door ajar (which is a very pathetic trap, when one thinks about it objectively). She panicked.

She panicked, and ran in without a second thought. "Doctor?!"

[youwillobeyme]

He quickly pulls the door lever, and smirks at the young woman.

"Not quite, my dear."

He's really rather surprised this worked at all. That shows you the standards of common sense in companions these days, he thought.

[constantcompany]

She spins around, wide-eyed but not quite scared yet. Oh no. The Doctor is going to kill her for this.

"Oh, you again."

[youwillobeyme]

"Yes, me again. I'm afraid this is rather how the game works." He smiles and wonders where he programmed those restraints- although he's not sure if he actually needs them yet.

And time passes...

[constantcompany]

Rose wasn't sure how long she'd been there, locked to the coatrack. Oh, it was humiliating, hanging there while her arms went numb, then began to ache. She had more time than she could ever want to imagine all the ways the Doctor would react to this. Few of them were pleasant. And she was thirsty, too. Why didn't anyone have the good manners to offer their prisoners water anymore?

Re: And time passes...

[youwillobeyme]

The Master walks into the console room, carrying a small, straight-backed chair. He sets it down by where Rose is standing.

"Well, sit down, young lady! Would you like some tea?" He asks in a bored tone of voice, as if he realy couldn't be bothered, but is asking anyway.

Re: And time passes...

[constantcompany]

She stares at him for a minute, shocked, then pulls the chair closer with her foot and sits. "Tea would be nice. Thank you."

Re: And time passes...

[youwillobeyme]

He nods shortly and walks back through a door, presumably on his way to the kitchen.

And finally the Doctor does arrive, the TARDIS wasn't hard to find, not hard at all, only thing that delayed him was looking in the wrong place first. Rose is fine, The Master was always the type to fanny around a bit first, straight for the jugula wasn't his style.

To be honest, he muses, this will probably be as straight forward as fixing his dematerialization circuit for him. Shame the pantomime baddie likes to do these things a little more dramatically rather than just ask.

"Do I have to stand here all day?" he looks decidedly bored with it all as he talks directly to the camera above the door.

[youwillobeyme]

The Master brightens up considerably. Oh good, he's come to get her out of here, and far away from me. He pulls the door lever and puts on his best evil grin- even though he is rather lacking anything evil to do. Shame, that.

[constantcompany]

Rose stops singing when the door opens, twisting around as far as she can to try and see the Doctor. "Doctor? Be careful!"

[10thtimelord]

A few steps inside, hands in pockets as if he were popping in to share the tea and biscuits, he winks at Rose in response. He raises his eyebrows at The Master, "She's quite the singer isn't she?"
