59th Appetizer

[council_king]

I believe we have something to discuss, Hatter~...

[Aion's departure has made the Pureblood rethink the speed in which he settles debts.]



[Private to Rose Tyler: sent mid evening.]
It's time, come~.

[indecent_butterfly]

Oh we do?

[With everything that's happened, ne can be forgiven for forgetting things right?]

[council_king]

So cold... forgotten your time with me so soon? Unforgivable~.

[indecent_butterfly]

Do please forgive this One's slight; One's mind has been rather torn of late. What shall we speak of then dear Prince?

[council_king]

Torn... Having problems~?

[indecent_butterfly]

Nothing One is not used to.

[Ne's lived these last uncounted years without nir Lord around, just sucks having found him again for so short a time.]

[council_king]

Good.

[Rido is not at all impressed with weakness.]

Maybe your attention would be better in person. I've been thinking I should visit.

[indecent_butterfly]

As long as you don't mind snakes, you're quite welcome to visit. One's door is usually open.

[council_king]

... pets?

[indecent_butterfly]

Just one and pet sitting.

[It's none of his business ne's got a house guest as well since the guest isn't around and not expected back any time soon.]

Private Ping to Hatter

[valentineluke]

*Just letting them know he's seen Kuran's 'little chat'*

This comment not here.

[council_king]

[Stalker.]

...

[indecent_butterfly]

[Now, now ne is a big devil and can take care of nemself.]

[council_king]

Pet sitting. Really.

I'd think you'd have better things to do.

[indecent_butterfly]

One is rather fond of them. And they are easy enough to care for so it doesn't take much of One's time.

If you are concerned, One can put him in another room.

[council_king]

'Concerned' about a snake? No.

I suppose it's something to do here. But I for one, prefer more exciting pastimes.

[indecent_butterfly]

One is just a simple thing, but do come and you can explain these pastimes.

[council_king]

Not tonight. I have other plans~.

But soon.

[indecent_butterfly]

Whenever you're ready then, do let One know.

Here or elsewhere if you wish. It wouldn't do to make a Prince bow to a jester's whim.

[council_king]

It is a joke, yes... I'm glad that you recognize it as such.

I'll let you know when I'm free.

[indecent_butterfly]

One will wait with bated breath for your summons.

[Or not, because really there's only one person ne'd do that for.]

Action

[iwasherefirst]

[Rose is a little hesitant at first. If she's truthful, she's a little scared. She's not sure what to expect. She knows she agreed to go see him and she's got every intention of doing so. She takes a deep breath, bucks up and heads toward the Underground. She's dressed in her 'brave' clothes: black pants, boots, tee shirt and purple leather jacket. Her hair is loose around her shoulders.]

So, where'm goin?

Voice

[council_king]

Go to the clock~. What place more fitting for a Time Lord to die...

[ooc note: In his eagerness, still assuming she's one.]

Voice

[iwasherefirst]

All right then. Meet you there.

[She's still a bit puzzled about what's going on but deeply curious, curious enough to show up at the clock. It doesn't bother her the way it does the Doctor, but she doesn't particularly care for it. It sort of gives her a headache. Whether it's just the ticking or something to do with the fact that she is a time traveler and that's mucked with her just enough to be bothered by it, who knows. Either way, she's there looking a bit uncomfortable but not terribly so.]

Action

[council_king]

[From the darkness, the Pureblood lets his presence be known. Stepping forward with hands shoved nonchalantly in the pockets of his long black coat, the corners of his mouth curve into an eager smile.]

Prompt... how nice~.

[It's the first time they've met, face to face. And the Pureblood's thoughts have flooded with the memories of his dream encounter with the one known as the Master and the pure rush of excitement that he'd felt at that particular 'hunt'.]

Action

[iwasherefirst]

[Rose smiles at him when he steps from the shadows and shrugs.]

I sorta try to be. 'Least most of the time.

[Rose's nerves are tripping along, but there's not so much fear in her as curiosity.]

Action

[council_king]

[The pureblood's mismatched eyes slide over Rose, appraising the girl. Measuring her up, hoping to see some small glimmer of the Master in her seemingly unimpressive form.

He casts a smile towards his prey anyway.]

Tell me... can you tell, from just this, what makes a Pureblood special~?

[He makes no attempt to restrain any of his natural power or charisma from coming forth, but neither does he unleash it fully upon her. Merely sending small ripples of an unseen force between the distance that separated them. Just enough to know if she could feel the appropriate level of reverence.]

Action

[iwasherefirst]

[She knows he's doing something to her and she's spent enough time with the Doctors to know it's something telepathic. She just doesn't know what it is. It's like nothing she's ever experienced before but she does know that right now she likes this man--vampire--very much, far more than she should considering she knows very little about him. She knows he's special, unique and should be revered in some way.

She swallows hard and nods, dipping her head and not quite meeting his eyes. There's a very stubborn part of her that knows this is ridiculous. She's stared down the Emperor of the Daleks and destroyed him, but that part isn't strong enough right now to make any difference.]

'Course. Don't know why I didn't see it earlier...Sir. [The sir is halting and awkward. It's not a term she uses often and hasn't in years.]
