It's been a week and I'm stir crazy already. At least in other jails I could blast a hole in the wall if I wanted some fresh air.

Is there anything to do here other than play dorky board games? Anywhere to go? And don't even talk to me about the gym, I'm in there like five hours a day as it is.

[Private to the Master]

So what is this TARDIS thing anyways?

Seems like a few people have their panties in a bunch over you stealing some stuff, and I wanna know what the big deal is. Plus it's good to know who's halfway competent here, y'know?

Private

You'll find that's their reaction to just about everything here. Some people are really not cut out to Warden.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

You're not kidding. Someone needs to put that Q jerk out of his misery, for one.

So what are you in for?

Private

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Among others.

Do you want the big stuff or the small stuff? Old stuff, new stuff?

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Let's say big and new. Nobody looks more than five years back on a resume.

I created a paradox machine that allowed the descendants of the human race to pour in from the end of the universe and destroy their ancestors. Burned several countries to the ground, converted the planet to a giant missile silo, used the surviving humans as labour... A little small-scale, but my options were a bit limited without a fully functioning TARDIS.

And yourself?

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's...that's some ambitious stuff right there.

I did whatever got the best paychecks or caused the most mess - and most of happened to be take-over-the-world stuff. But since I worked for a succession of idiots? Yeah, the actual world domination never really happened.

Private - The Master's like. Trying to collect a harem or something. :c

What can I say? I was always an overachiever.

And what would you have done if it had?

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Y'know, before I got here, I'd have said 'quit the business and spend the next couple years at a spa'. But now? Now I know there are other worlds, and it'd be pretty lame to stop the chaos and destruction at Earth, right?

Private

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And when you have a vessel that can take you to any point and time in the universe...

A whole new level of fun opens up.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

That's the TARDIS? This, I like.

The "Time and Relative Dimension in Space." It's the technology of my people, and it just so happens that we have two on this very Barge. Of course, one would have to be a Time Lord to pilot them...

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

And you're a Time Lord, right? So how come you don't have your own?

Private

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Well, I am an Inmate.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Makes sense. And it's not even like I'm not used to stealing stuff that I really shouldn't have to.

Private

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

So, are you the discrete sort of thief, or the sort who likes to blow holes in the vault?

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Back when I had my powers? Blowing holes was easier and a lot more fun. Here? I guess discreet is all I got.

Private

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Then I may have a few jobs for you, in the coming weeks.

Private

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

That's what I like to hear. Keep me informed, Master.
