[VIDEO; LOCKED to the Master]

[Mina decides to expend the willpower, to appear on camera. She's been fairly selective about that, but at the moment, she's looking to make impressions. And so, there she is. A handsome woman, in a three piece, pin-striped suit, a ring on every finger, and a fedora, tilted down to a precise angle, over one eye.]

Hello.

I understand that you're a Time Lord.

What? No 'how are you?' or introductions? Your conversation manner is atrocious.

[He's really not in a chatty mood these days. Nor is he big on playing nice. There was no chance of this being a nice little conversation.]

Friend of the Doctor's, are we?

[primogen_vampirate]

Pleasantries are a waste of time, darling. And I'm not sure that "friend" is the appropriate word. Let's go with that for now. Save ourselves some time, hmm?

[bornofdeath]

Pleasantries are a waste of time to the rude. I consider myself above that. If you really wanted to save time, you would get right to the point. Which, for the record, you're not doing.

[primogen_vampirate]

Well, you're the one who brought it up. And if it matters to you, I'm happy to oblige.

Let me see if I remember how this goes.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my dear sir."

[bornofdeath]

You could just say 'it's nice to meet you' as the whole 'dear sir' thing is a little over the top. And old fashioned.

Nevertheless, I'm fine. I'm sure you are as well. So shall we move on now?

[primogen_vampirate]

Old fashioned? Do forgive me. I am a bit out of my time.

And I fully appreciate the irony of saying that to you.

Oh. And it is nice to met you.

[bornofdeath]

Oh everyone does just love meeting me, it's part of my charm. [There's clearly amusement in his tone. He's taking little of this seriously.] Now, onto the topic you clearly want to talk on, the Doctor. How is he? Less bonkers? You're welcome for that one.

[primogen_vampirate]

"Less bonkers" might be the most diplomatic way of putting it. You do realize he's completely mental.

I am rather curious as to how you fixed him. And whether it involved a frying pan to the back of the head.

[bornofdeath]

Oh he's not mental, he's relatively sane by Time Lord standards. Unsettling, isn't it?

And how I fixed him was none of your business. All you need to know is he's fixed and this ones on the house. If he breaks again, I'm charging.

[primogen_vampirate]

And what happens if the scientists get bored with you and decide to unceremoniously eject you from the village? I suppose we put him in a cage and charge five cents to see him rant?

[bornofdeath]

Ten cents or you'll never make a profit, that cage will be pricey. And you have to feed him too. Maybe train him to dance and charge fifteen to see it? Just for the extra.

[primogen_vampirate]

That only works if there's a bear.

[bornofdeath]

Make sure people know it's the last of the Time Lords. People are dumb, they'll pay.

[primogen_vampirate]

Says the other Time Lord.

I think I like you.

[bornofdeath]

Well he's so fond of the title, I haven't the heart to ruin it and end all his pitiful angst. [He pauses.] Well, that's all well and good but surely that isn't why you bothered me.

[primogen_vampirate]

Actually, that is part of the matter. Curious about why there aren't more of you running about.

[bornofdeath]

Ask the Doctor, that one is all on him. Well, partly.

[primogen_vampirate]

Mmm.

[She leans back in her seat, looking thoughtful.]

Have you ever deal with the True Fae?

[bornofdeath]

No. Is that leading somewhere? Didn't we agree to always go to straight to the point? This better not be some dull metaphor or tangent.

[primogen_vampirate]

No. It seems to be a dead end.

Rather disappointing.

[bornofdeath]

[He's just ... not going to say anything for a while.]

So are we done or...?

[primogen_vampirate]

Oh, hardly. We are, after all, trapped here together. Like one great, big, happy family.

[bornofdeath]

So, what? Are you suggest we all get together for a garden party and awkwardly pretend to like each other like most families?

[primogen_vampirate]

I do hope that's not your idea of a good time.

[bornofdeath]

How could it ever be? You suggested the family idea.
