lobster?

[traken_master]

[The Master is in his room. He used his TCE on one of the lobster things and is prodding it with the tip of a knife. It appears dead. The Master has his journal open and dictates to it.]

So, my fellow captives. The castle has decided to become infested with something that resembles a lobster. I've managed to shrink one with my tissue compression eliminator. I'm debating between dissecting this thing and simply boiling it for my dinner. Lobster is, after all, quite tasty.

over the journal!

[optimystic]

You should hand it over to the clinic! I bet it would help the healers there.

Re: over the journal!

[traken_master]

Oh? Does the castle have a working laboratory? I wouldn't object, if these healers are well-trained.

[optimystic]

I don't know if they have a lab, but I know there are a bunch of people who work in the clinic. I bet they're really qualified, you should give it to them.

Dictated

[atadiscoverer]

You've got one of the creatures?

Re: Dictated

[traken_master]

I have. I found it in my room and killed it. Who are you?

[atadiscoverer]

My name is Dr. Beckett. I work in the clinic. If you have one, I'd really appreciate if you bring it down here.

[hullo_sweetie]

We could learn a lot more about them if you'd dissect it. How to get rid of the infestation, for example.

[traken_master]

That would useful, though I'm under the impression that the castle cheats at such things. Sending in pirates, then robbing people of their powers? Tsk. Obviously, the castle enjoys stacking the deck.

[hullo_sweetie]

[Alright, she's done playing nice with this guy]

My mother was attacked by these things. Either you dissect it or I will.

[That's a threat. Count on it]

[kamenriderdecade]

Would you mind if I came to have a look at it?

[traken_master]

If you think you can be useful, please do. If you merely want to gawk, I suggest finding your own specimen.

[kamenriderdecade]

[That's exactly what he's going to do. The master doesn't need to know that, though.]

Oh, I wouldn't dream of wasting your time. Where are you then?

[cheerupemoborg]

You would seriously consider eating it?

[traken_master]

Not really, though the idea of turning the tables on the little monsters is somewhat appealing.

[cheerupemoborg]

From the looks of them I doubt you could properly cook one, anyway. They seem to shrug off high temperatures too easily.

[cricketycricket]

Oh, for goodness' sake, there are FAR more useful things you can do with that than sit around playing Julia Child.

[traken_master]

[He chuckles.] You're so easily disturbed, my dear Doctor. I'm told the clinic has adequate labs. Do you agree with that assessment? I'd be honored to have you join me there.

[cricketycricket]

I more than agree with it, I've seen them with my own eyes. And yes, I'll join you.

[if only to keep an eye on you, because the clinic staff has their hands full]

[workaphilic]

Depends. Are you attached to being a moron?

[traken_master]

Do yourself a favor, my dear. Develop a sense of humor. I'm the least moronic person you will ever meet.

[workaphilic]

I find that highly unlikely.

Sherlock

[cricketycricket]

In a few senses he is, yes. In others, decidedly not.

Fifth Doctor

[workaphilic]

I really don't care.

He's being an inconvenience.

At the Clinic

[traken_master]

[The Master arrives at the clinic. He doesn't even bother setting his things down, but begins examining the area and looking for the people he asked to meet him there. He's particularly interested in meeting Dr. Beckett, since the Master wants to evaluate him.]

[hullo_sweetie]

[River arrives only a few minutes after him, practically a storm of wild blonde curls and worry. Worry over the loved ones she had here who had been bitten by this thing. If she had to deal with the devil himself, she'd do it.

Surprisingly this is the first time she's seen him in person. Only his reputation has proceeded him here]

Are you the Master?

[]It has to be him, he's got that lobster thing]
