Hello, hello, so it's one of those weekends and I can't let it pass without a formal announcement. [ He sounds giddy for a moment, one can only assume that the reappearance of his former companion has boosted his emotional standing. ]

So, all old friends if you're wandering around out there searching for a cup of tea, this is the Doctor speaking. Look for a hat shop. The kettle's on the boil. I have jammy dodgers. [ Excitedly. ] And scones.

[ Static and then: ] Of course, even if we've never met, feel free to pop in too. I love meeting people.

( ooc: no eleven twins pls but any other regeneration is fine! canon mates muchly loved. ♥ )

/starts flooding your post, also action forever

[The Master's helping himself to a cup of tea and some scones.] Can we keep the Rani from showing up? I'd forgotten how irritating she was.

yes, good.

[verylast]

[ He contemplates batting the Master's hands away from the scones. Only nice people get treats.

But he's happy today, so. ] No, and if she does show up you're going to play nice. It's been too long.

[worstretconever]

[He pulls a face.] She's not going to be nice to either of us, I don't see why I should bother.

[verylast]

Yes, well.

[ He'd forgotten about that. There's just an abject look of horror like he's contemplating locking the door and hiding with the Master under the counter. ]

[worstretconever]

[The Master would totally support this plan of action, just so you know.]

I'm pretty sure she still blames me for ruining her plan the last time we worked together. I think she blames me for everything, actually, which is ridiculous, because you're a much better scapegoat.

[verylast]

Well, you probably deserve it.

[ He hops up to sit on the counter, swinging his legs and watching the Master. ] Maybe she tired herself out insulting you earlier and I'll get away with it.

[worstretconever]

It's the Rani, does she ever get tired of it?

[verylast]

Maybe she'll think we're out if we're very, very quiet.

[worstretconever]

I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but if a Time Lady had to turn up, why couldn't it have been Romana?

- No, scratch that, she doesn't like me, either. But at least she's not as...Rani-ish as the Rani.

[verylast]

[ Their lives are awful when they're agreeing on something. ]

It's only for a weekend.

[worstretconever]

So you claim. But what if she stays?

[verylast]

[ Then they hide. ]

She won't, people don't usually.

TEE HEE

[la_scienziata_rani]

I heard that.

[worstretconever]

I told him to lock the door.

[oh god please don't comment on the fact that they're living together please do]

[la_scienziata_rani]

You told him, yes, but you made the mistake of assuming he has common sense.

I see you two are living together. So glad the both of you finally kissed and made up after all these years.

[worstretconever]

[UGH THANKS.] It was either this or a cardboard box. And I'm still definitely considering the cardboard box.

[la_scienziata_rani]

[YOU TWO ARE SUPER OBVIOUS]

No TARDIS for you, then?

[worstretconever]

[GO AWAY, RANI.]

I haven't seen mine since I left Gallifrey. Hijacked the Doctor's for a bit and turned it into a paradox machine, that was fun.

[la_scienziata_rani]

[NEVAAAR. Especially now that you got her attention with that last comment.]

You...made a paradox machine? An honest to Rassilon working paradox machine?

How did you do it?

[She's never been able to do it without risking imploding something small, like the universe.]

[worstretconever]

[The Master flinches visibly at the use of that name. Someone is still not happy about everything that happened to him just before he came to the City.]

Mmm, it was a masterpiece. One of my finest works, if I do say so myself. You just have to be willing to cannibalise a living TARDIS.

[la_scienziata_rani]

[She doesn't even notice the flinch.]

But how? You try to cannibalize a living TARDIS, you have to deal with the issues that arise from it being powered by the Eye of Orion, and if THAT doesn't get in the way then the bloody thing will have its own defense mechanisms kick in to stop the process.

[worstretconever]

Tsk, tsk. [He wags an index finger at her.] I can't give away all my secrets, Rani.

[la_scienziata_rani]

[She's grumpy that he came up with this first.]

Don't toy with me, Koschei.

[worstretconever]

[If she was anybody else, she'd probably be facing the threat of physical violence right now. As it is, his entire demeanor changes, white-hot rage flashing in his eyes as he hisses at her.]

Don't use that name! That name is dead, just like the person who wore it. You know better than that, Rani.

[la_scienziata_rani]

Oh, touched a nerve there, did I?

[She just smirks slightly.]

I do indeed know better. I apologize.
