[The video feed shows two men - the Master and the Doctor, specifically - in a cage together, though it might be hard to recognise them at first, since they're both wearing some weird-looking robes (complete with elaborate headdress). The robes, however, have been slightly adapted to allow for the fact that the two of them have been sewn together at the side, from just under their arms, all the way down to their hip.

The Master, unsurprisingly, appears to be rather unhappy about this development. First he tries to pull away from the Doctor, pushing and hitting at him in a frenzy - and when that doesn't work, he opts to just glare at him from under his dorky headdress. As the Master struggles, there's narration coming from someone just offscreen.]

Just look at the fight in these two! With that kind of struggle, it's not hard to see why they're the last two of their species. That's right, we've got a special treat for you today. All the way from Gallifrey, a planet destroyed in the final battle of the Last Great Time War, we bring you the last of the Time Lords!

We've brought two old enemies together for you - no more running, no more hiding, just the two of them, bound forever! One's a villain, one's a hero - but which one is really which, in the end? Which one's killed more species than you can possibly imagine, including his own? The answer might surprise you! These two are killers, through and through! Come on down and watch the show, because it's bound to be fantastic!

[Luke has turned very red in a struggle not to laugh.]

I do like your hats.

[worstretconever]

[You are so not helping, Luke.]

I'm pretty sure traditional Time Lord formal robes are part of the reason why I left Gallifrey in the first place.

[infernoandhearth]

Oh, so would I, it's dreadful, look at that. Lords of time and not of fashion, clearly. Have you need of a way out?

[worstretconever]

They wouldn't know a decent suit if it bit them in the - well, never mind. Yes, I am. Preferably to be followed shortly thereafter by a Doctor-ectomy. If I have to spend too much time attached to him, I'll end up being the only Time Lord.

[infernoandhearth]

Oh, well, the Doctor-ectomy will only work if you find out the exact right thing you have in common, and then possibly talk it out. I'm not certain. I was on rather a lot of painkillers at the time. You might cut yourself apart but it won't heal until you do.

I need to get everyone out, you see. Serrure and I intend to raze the place as soon as we have.

[worstretconever]

Something we have in common? Bugger all that, I'm going to go for the non-healing wound. It sounds much more pleasant.

Brilliant! Do you need any help? I think I'd quite enjoy it, though first I need to eviscerate a few of the people here, starting with that ringmaster.

[infernoandhearth]

Best of luck holding out on that, then. It works rather like a magnet.

Oh, yes please. I'll keep the fire off you, if you like, as long as you're not too terribly far in.

[worstretconever]

This is just getting better and better. And of course it couldn't possibly be the obvious solution, could it?

Wonderful! I'm sure they'll start to panic and try to escape once the fire starts, like rats fleeing a sinking ship. No need to even go searching for them, really.

[infernoandhearth]

No, it wasn't. I would have rather it was, we arrived at that conclusion multiple times.

Oh, very true, you might kill them as they tried to escape.

[worstretconever]

How did you get out of the circus in the first place?

[infernoandhearth]

Several friends. One who bent the bars open and the other who joined him to fight off the circus people and help us escape. I just walked Charlie right out, though, myself.

[worstretconever]

One of the down sides to having only been in the City a week, I suppose - I don't exactly know anyone. [Except for his apparent minions and/or assorted other people who seem to be acquainted with him, but he has no idea how competent they actually are.] Making friends is more the Doctor's sort of thing.

[infernoandhearth]

Oh yes? Well, it's very easy here. You've already made one, anyway.

[worstretconever]

[WELP THAT'S KIND OF AWKWARD. No need to discuss the Master's emotional hang-ups and the problems with being a supervillain, so let's change the subject instead.]

You said you just walked out with Charlie? Didn't anybody notice?

[infernoandhearth]

Well, I took a special route, but it was rather easy, with her all over fire. I can take fire anywhere, or small things.

[worstretconever]

Okay, I'm not fire, so I imagine that rules that method right out.

[infernoandhearth]

I can do transformation, if you need to sneak out.
