#41: And I won't feel a thing...

[horrible_phd]

[Voice]

So is the City breaking or what?

[He doesn't sound like he really cares, either way.]

[ooc: So after much internal debate I went with updating him all the way to the end--I'm sort of assuming at least a month or two has gone by for him. He's kind of broken but he'll snap out of it. Eventually. Expect something of a different Horrible until then. He remembers everything from the city, but it all feels a little distant right now.]

[The Master stands in front of the screen in his false TARDIS, businesslike.]

I'm afraid my results were inconclusive before I was essentially yanked through. But the barrier is definitely weaker. Whether or not that affects the fabric of spacetime in the City is a different story. You might do a few tests? [He shrugs.] I can't do them from this side.

Yanked through to what, exactly?

[He gestures behind him at his TARDIS: gothic, stony, guttering candles, big circular console behind him with a lighted white tube emerging from the centre and a lot of complex technology on it.]

A facsimile of my TARDIS. I don't know what it is in actuality. The machines I brought with me analyse it as a TARDIS but it isn't one. I can't access most of her--its processes and I can only access the back rooms that don't have close-able doors leading to them. Everything is locked down. And I can't communicate with her at all.

I've was in a TARDIS once...didn't know they were so popular. Nice interior, by the way.

They're telling us to patch the holes.

[The Master looks momentarily confused.]

You--?

[And then it makes sense.]

The Doctor's, I assume. They're not that popular. We're just the same species. But thanks, I guess.

[He is personally less than impressed with his previous incarnation's design preferences.]

I saw. I can't imagine that patching the walls of reality with polymer will be very useful but it could slow the process down, potentially. [He shrugs.] Or it could just be busywork.

1 of... 3. Ish.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Billy! You're back!

Yeah. Let's say three.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

You're really back! I'm so, so glad to see you, you have no idea!

Done now. ._.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

...You're different.

1/2 there is a ridiculously long pause in responding

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

2/2

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

I guess a lot has happened.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Do you want to come to the apartment? We can talk about it or something. I have hot chocolate.

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

I don't--not tonight. I promise I want to see you, just...in a little bit.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Billy?

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

I'm back.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to see you again.

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

It's weird to be back. But not in a bad way, I think.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Weird things have been happening all over, lately.

Still, I'm glad your weird isn't the bad sort of weird.

[spiritofsorrow.livejournal.com]

Ah, Billy. Penny will be delighted to see you again.

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Sorrow. I guess I'm glad to be back. Or I should be.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Doctor, how good to hear from you~

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Hello. How are things?

Backdating because OMG I LOVE YOU AND am hyper, hi

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Only if you've had your way with it.

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Oh, look, you're still here. Watch me fail to care.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

[noticing something off about you, hmm.] Well, doctor, don't think too much of yourself by thinking that I care about your lack of caring, because I don't care that you don't care, and you should care.

Not that I care.

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. Well, now that we've got that cleared up I think I'll get back to talking to your girlfriend. Oh, that's right, I mean EX-girlfriend.
