Venting over the journal

[traken_master]

I am bored. That may sound strange to those of you who are not travelers. Paradisa, as luxurious and irritating as it is, is ONE PLACE. I'm used to roaming all of time and space at will. How can anyone bear to sleep in the same room, night after night after night, seeing the same stars overhead?

The Doctor has often accused me of being mad. I think, after my stay here, he may have a point.



There must be some mischief we can create for our amusement. Any suggestions? I can't disguise myself, but I am a powerful hypnotist and a brilliant scientist.

The Master

[cheerupemoborg]

Feeling mischievous today?

Re: The Master

[traken_master]

I think mischievous is too energetic a word, for what I am feeling. Ennui is better. I'm hoping some mischief might energize me.

[cheerupemoborg]

Well, sit back. I'm expecting a show any day now.

[traken_master]

Oh? What sort of show, my friend?

Written

[foughtfortheusers]

[Rumbling] Used to the same. Was strange at first, but adjusted.

[cheerupemoborg]

A performance by an acquaintance. Nothing too grand.

Have you met Moriarty?

Re: Written

[traken_master]

Yes, yes, that which doesn't adapt, dies. Perhaps you can suggest a stratagem?

[traken_master]

Moriarty. Yes, I believe I met him briefly, at one point. What sort of performance will he give us? [He almost sounds eager. He really is bored.}

[cheerupemoborg]

Of the criminal variety. Personally, I'm more interested in the aftermath and the results.

[traken_master]

Crime in this place is not very grand, I think. What result are you hoping for?

Written

[foughtfortheusers]

... There is no choice but accepting. Do not know more than that.

Do not like it.

Re: Written

[traken_master]

No, I imagine not. So, what have you been doing to while away the hours?

Filtered away from the Goodie-Goodies

[not_a_codfish]

I agree. I have been here only a short while, but I believe I could do with some skullduggery. Did you have any ideas yourself?

[cheerupemoborg]

Proof that the tools I have given him work correctly.

[traken_master]

I look forward to seeing that. You say a criminal act, but...what is there here to achieve? The only source of power is the castle and we can not get it to properly engage us.

[foughtfortheusers]

Keeping active. Patrolling.

Re: Written

[traken_master]

Patrolling? Hm. The only source of danger to the residents, from what I've seen, is the castle. How will you protect them from it?

Re: Filtered away from the Goodie-Goodies

[traken_master]

I admit, I do not. I'm used to operating on a grander scale and whittling my plans away to fit the limits of the castle and it's residents is difficult. None of them have anything that I want. I could assert authority, of a sort, but it would mean simply being the first among prisoners.

Are you attempting to accomplish anything of worth, or simply mischief for the sake of mischief?

Re: filter: written

[traken_master]

I would prefer something of worth, but right now I'll take what I can get. Have you found something of worth to accomplish in this place?

Written

[foughtfortheusers]

Keeps aware of surroundings. Of potential dangers from castle. To prepare.

[madetosin]

I prefer to take my time. The situation merits more study.

Re: filter: written

[traken_master]

Feel free to do so. From what I've seen, you should have plenty of time to weigh your options.

Re: Written

[traken_master]

[The Master sighs.} I concede the point. Caution is always wise.

[madetosin]

Perhaps. How long have you been in Paradisa?
