"Why are you so good when you could be so bad?"

“I consider my immortality a second chance. Besides, who says I’m good all the time?” Mel smirks, taking a drag of her cig and leaning on her Harley.

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

He would fight it to his last breath, that feeling of emotion relating to someone else’s pain. Koschei had been through the worst imaginable torture at the hands of his own people, it was affecting him even now despite having lived with it for centuries. Imagine having a migraine nothing could get rid of, imagine hearing a marching band all night, all day for your entire life. He was only eight when it started, now he couldn’t remember ever living without the noise, without the pain..

It was a part of him now.

“So this is where revenge comes into play,” the Master shrugged it off, as if it didn’t affect him in the slightest, “a sudden rise to power! Haha! Watch them squirm under your fist, hm?”

[rosenundraben]

"Is this you?"

Mel’s eyes widened as she snatched the photo frame out of The Master’s hands, protecting it as if it was the most precious thing in the world. In it was her first and last wedding photograph between her and Paul. “Where… where did you find this?”

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

The Master slowly followed after Mel, crossing the grounds toward his TARDIS, he knew she’d be experiencing some side effects of the very taboo act they had just performed. Meddling with time was strictly forbidden and with valid reasons, he just didn’t care. Opening the doors, he let her walk inside and looked around before slipping into the time machine himself, closing the doors and locking them once more.

He turned to face where Mel was standing, then went to the console and got them out of there. Koschei was curious but he didn’t ask her any questions, he figured she would share with him if she was going to. 

“Well,” he puffed out his chest and grinned broadly, breaking the silence, “that was fun.” 

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

He laughed. 

“And you, a silly Earth girl, are going to stop me how?” Koschei demanded, “you’re not even on solid ground anymore, you’re floating around in non-breathable air, suppose I decide to just open those doors and push you out, hm?” 

Actually, that did sound like fun..

“I was thinking of rapidly aging the sun,” Koschei answered, “I like those ideas.. But exploding the sun would make a much bigger noise, don’t you think?”

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!"

“Says who?” he wondered, giving this man a seriously annoyed look, “I suppose now you’re going to try and stop me? Honestly, what is it with you do-gooders showing up to foil my plans every single time?!”

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

“I don’t care how strong you think you are,” the Master scolded Gordon, “because I am easily much stronger than any Earth creature.”

But he was far too busy to be cooking meals all the time and grabbing food on the run wasn’t always very tasty, so while it was barely a thread of an excuse, he decided on a whim to accept it. 

“Alright you can stay,” Koschei nodded, “but it had better be the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Keeping in mind, I am hundreds of years old and I’ve been to just about every planet!”

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

So he wasn’t willing to share his reasons, this irked Koschei just a little because he liked to know everything but it was brief because his lack of giving a damn about others kicked in pretty quickly enough to curb the curiosity for now. His question had been met with a question, rather than an answer and this was slightly annoying but also an opportunity to talk about himself, so he didn’t mind too much.

“I suppose I could tell you - again,” the Master sized up this vampire half heartedly and smirked, “stupid Earthling.. I am looking for someone. I told you already. Now, either help me find them or go and play cops ‘n robbers with all your little friends.”

It didn’t matter that the Doctor was struggling harder than ever before, or that he was trying to make his muffled shouts heard by them, the pair had already walked out the door and left the building entirely.

“Exactly what we need to do next,” Koschei replied with a slight twist of his neck, “blow something up!”

[torvicfordfarding]

He gives a giddy childish laugh. “Hell yeah! Let us start with a big boom!”

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

“It has to be something important,” The Master schemed, “we need to draw a lot of attention to ourselves if we want to be heard.”

He closed the TARDIS doors, now they’d be safe from anything outside.

“This planet seems like the ideal choice,” he grinned, blowing up the Earth with the Doctor still on it seemed like a two for one deal to him.

[endlessforevernight]

“What’s your name?”

Nick wasn’t sure why this man believed someone was about to blow up the Earth but he could sense that the guy wasn’t human so he had to take it seriously and believe him for now. 

“Well if you really want to be that way I could take you back to the precinct for questioning,” Nick countered with an equally as cheeky smile.

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

“You can call me the Master,” Koschei replied with a sneer, “you don’t get to know my name, that’s not how it works.”

He began to circle around Nick slowly, trying to intimidate him. It was not very often that he came across an actual vampire, they were usually very hidden and secretive but this one was not only out on the streets he was also a homicide detective. 

“I don’t understand why you want to go parading around in this little fantasy of yours,” the Master commented, “but you can leave me out of it. Whatever you’re investigating right now, I had nothing to do with it. There’s far more important things for me to be doing.”

[xenawarrior-rp-deactivated20190]

Xena couldn’t stop staring all around her, this was not the rotting old tree she had seen him walk into. She looked back at the doors when he closed them, disbelief was in her expression the entire time and yet she was seeing this all with her very own eyes.

“It’s an illusion,” she tried to make sense of it, holding her head, “it’s not real, you’re a trickster. A fake!”

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

The Master didn’t like being called a liar or a fake, so he was already scowling at Xena when she started to try and make sense of what she was looking at. 

“It’s real!” he scolded her firmly, “every bit of it right down to the last detail is real! Your tiny, little Earth mind just can’t handle it!”

Villainous [RP]

@listenlistenlistenjustlisten

Stanley watched from afar as Koschei was causing general mischief. Breaking things, all for the sake of annoying The Doctor. He’d always been drawn to trouble and violence, so maybe he could learn a thing or two from this TimeLord.

Even though he was doing his best to hide, Stan knew The Master could likely sense his presence. He swore to himself he wouldn’t approach - and just observe.

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

Well why not? He had the Doctor cornered and on the floor, might as well break a few things while he was ranting at how often Theta foiled his plans. The Master was extremely unhappy with the Doctor, but then that was nothing new. As he turned to glare down at Theta and utter an angry phrase at him, slight movement caught his eye and his head snapped around quickly.

“You didn’t tell me you weren’t alone, Doctor,” Koschei smirked, “who is it? One of your silly, little Human companions?”

The Doctor shook his head slowly, worried that someone was going to get hurt because of mistaken identity. “Whoever it is, I don’t know them, I swear,” the Doctor panted, injured and unable to get up.

The Master inclined his head curiously and frowned.

“Why aren’t you running?” he wondered, “I’ve just told you this planet is going to explode when my weapon hits the sun and causes it to explode, you should be terrified.”

He stepped closer to Todd.

“You should be scared,” the Master warned him, “I’m certainly not sticking around. If you’ve got some kind of escape pod, that’s where you should be heading. As fast as your little legs can carry you!”

Koschei turned and kept walking, toward a cave where he had hidden his TARDIS.

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

The Master inclined his head when she approached him, closer just a little, one small step at a time. Strange how things turn around so suddenly, one moment they were at a kind of stand-off, unsure whether or not trust was warranted between them and the next moment they were quiet, subdued and perhaps ready to share something other than taunts or boasts. 

What happened to Koschei had happened to him on purpose, his own people did this to him and it wasn’t so bad at first because the drumming sound was actually very faint. It got louder quite gradually until it was actually very distracting, the louder it got the more he hated it and yet he didn’t know what life would be like without it. Too quiet?  The noise was so loud now, inside of his head, it was causing him physical pain. Something he kept masked but was easily seen, hidden within his eyes.

She kept coming closer, asking for him to share the experience with her and he just could not understand why anyone would ever want to hear it. She said she believed him but did he believe her? There was only one way to know for sure and maybe it’d work on her, maybe it wouldn’t. He slowly looked down at their now joined hands, but this isn’t the way to do it. Koschei slid his hands from hers and placed them upon each side of her head, looking into her eyes as if to reassure her that he wouldn’t do any harm.

Now he slowly stepped closer, lowered his forehead to meet with hers and closed his eyes.

“Listen..”

[endlessforevernight]

Nick hesitated, so it wasn’t Human after all. 

“Of course I want to help if that’s true,” he nodded to the man, “if we work together, it would go a lot faster. But I am going to need more information, how exactly is he plotting to blow up the entire planet? It’s so big, it’s just not possible.”

He didn’t like to think it was at least, but if it involved actual aliens from another world, he supposed anything was possible.

“Can we go somewhere private to discuss this?” Nick asked him, “and no tricks, got it?”

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

Koschei didn’t really want to tell Nick how the Doctor was planning to blow up the Earth, because it was actually his plan and the last thing he needed was someone else knowing about it. 

“He’d find a way,” the Master reassured Nick, “where do you want to go? Back to my place or yours?”

He was getting quite cheeky now.

It didn’t matter that the Doctor was struggling harder than ever before, or that he was trying to make his muffled shouts heard by them, the pair had already walked out the door and left the building entirely.

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

“Whatever I want now that I have it back,” Koschei boasted, elated that he finally was inside his TARDIS and able to take full control of anywhere he went once again, “you don’t understand how much this means to me.”

He soon had the TARDIS far away from the military base, away from Earth and everything that Gordon would hold familiar. The Master didn’t really care if Ramsay was okay with leaving his planet behind, because he just wanted to get away from it for a while.

“I would drop you off somewhere but, you know..” he shrugged, then thought for a moment and smirked, “..actually, no I wouldn’t. I was just being polite.”

[gordon-j-ramsay-deactivated2019]

Maybe now it was time he started thinking about how to get himself out of this mess, he was in way over his head here. Saving the world wasn’t in the job description of being a celebrity chef, despite the fact that Gordon had a heart of gold and wanted to do the right thing. 

It was getting more and more dangerous as the situation began to quickly escalate, Gordon looked around but could not see any immediate means of escape. 

“So what now, huh?” he asked the Master, “what are you going to do with a chef? I’m not exactly equipped for conquering worlds you know, unless you’re going to try and win them over using culinary tactics until they proclaim you their leader.”

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

The Master shot Gordon a sour faced expression, because he hadn’t really thought this far ahead. All he’d needed Ramsay for was access unrestricted to the military base, they all knew Gordon there and didn’t think of him as a suspicious person so it had gone quite smoothly. And really boring.

But Koschei didn’t know what he was supposed to do with this man, he had served his purpose, so what now?

“I could always jettison you into space,” he shrugged, “if you really are that useless to me, then give me one reason why I shouldn’t. Better make it a damn good one, chef.”

[xenawarrior-rp-deactivated20190]

Xena watched him walk into a rotting, old tree that had a large hole in it. She looked very confused because she didn’t know why he’d want to hide inside of it, let alone call out for her to join him in there. She glanced around, circling the tree and peering inside.

“I won’t fit..” she stated cautiously, squeezing her way inside only to be taken aback by what was inside, “I don’t understand..”

Inside the tree looked like nothing she had ever seen before.

[listenlistenlistenjustlisten]

As she circled hesitantly and warily, most confused by the whole situation, the Master waited impatiently inside his TARDIS. His fingertips rapped noisily on the console, then he sighed audibly in irritation when she claimed that she would not fit inside with him in there as well.

“Just step in,” he spoke as if she were slow, because this is what he thought of humans anyway, “it’ll be fine.”

When she came inside at long last, the Master closed the doors behind her and smirked at the dumbfounded expression upon her face.

“Now you will see,” Koschei boasted, “everything that I have said is true!”
