[VIDEO; LOCKED to the Master]

[primogen_vampirate]

[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.

Well, it's not exactly rapid invested conversation about a specific thing. It's small talk at best. I could of sworn there was meant to be a purpose here.

[primogen_vampirate]

Oh, but there is.

[bornofdeath]

Then please hurry and elaborate before I lost interest.

[primogen_vampirate]

Just learning a bit about you, darling.

[bornofdeath]

Well you've probably learned nothing so I would either ask the Doctor or give up.

[primogen_vampirate]

I've certainly learned a lot about your temperament.

[bornofdeath]

And the Doctor could of told you that. Easily.

[primogen_vampirate]

I didn't ask.

And really, one shouldn't believe everything they're told.

[bornofdeath]

You can't trust any date you get. For all you know, I'm having a bad day and that's altered my mood. Or good one. Or that something is affecting my mind?

[primogen_vampirate]

Well, now I think you're just showing off. Observer effect and all.

[bornofdeath]

I'm always showing off. Feel free to add that one to the 'Master' file.

[primogen_vampirate]

I most certainly shall.

[bornofdeath]

[There's a beat of silence. This is beginning to get tiresome. Well, it always was but he was running out of things to say.]

All right, this has been 'cute' and all but either get to the point or I'm hanging up. You have a minute to convince me that I shouldn't just hang up.

[primogen_vampirate]

I think I have everything I need. Lovely chat, my dear. Thank you for your time.

[bornofdeath]

As far as I can tell, you've just wasted my time. And from that alone, I already know you're the Doctor's new little companion. Enjoy his particular brand of whiny angst and fleeting sitcom style romance. Will they, won't they? Oh it's all so magical! [He can't help being sarcastic, this is such a trend lately.] Little advise? All you have to do is save the world and he might finally, you know, value you in the future.

[primogen_vampirate]

Darling, when it comes to the story, I'm always the hero.

Never the sidekick.

[bornofdeath]

-- Woah, you two are not going to last. At all. That makes this an even bigger waste of time.

He has to be hero. Or just the focal point of everything. Time Lords, no matter how they are or who they are, they all have massive egos that can't be benched.

[primogen_vampirate]

[She chuckles.]

I can tell.

[bornofdeath]

I fancy myself a gigantic egotist and I really have no shame. And yet I'm still playing second fiddle to him in that department. It's actually rather depressing. [And he means that modestly... weirdly enough.]

[primogen_vampirate]

A bit obsessive, I think. Is the entirety of time and space not big enough for more than one of you? Is that why you're the last two?

[bornofdeath]

...I have no idea where you pulled that assumption from. There was a universe full of billions of us. Our egos clashed often but that's not exactly something that can't be handled. The reason why there is only two, occasionally one, of us left is because we had a slight -- incident. Let's say no more, shall we? It doesn't put your prince charming in the best light. Or our people.

[primogen_vampirate]

Prince Charming? Now that's a wild assumption.

You don't fancy him, do you?

[bornofdeath]

No, it's really not. You're not as hard to read as you probably think. First off, you're playing companion and the vast majority fall for him near instantly. I always go with majority ruling. And then there's the whole 'not quite friends' issue. It's rather glaringly obvious-- I swear to Omega, that man is always looking to play with the local girls. Pathetic.

[Perhaps he should try and use being a Time Lord to pick up chicks?]

Not my type. Well, not any more.

[primogen_vampirate]

What does that word mean? You keep bringing it up.

"Companion?"

[bornofdeath]

Companion? Someone the Doctor takes around with him to show off. Like a pet or something, I never quite understood it. He falls in love with near eighty percent of them, has a fondness for them being around seventeen to twenty. Or looking it. Generally goes for cute little earth girls. Considering he's in his thousands, I naturally find the whole ordeal a little ... dodgy.
