Not so much a voice test as a dusting-off.

My mun would like to inform you that you have the best username ever.

[prattling_jackanape]

Yes, well, I'm told it suits me. I prefer it over a vast collection of other names I've been called, at any rate.

[ofdrumsthesound]

It's an insult--and why is 'the Doctor' not enough, anyway?

[prattling_jackanape]

I know very well what it is; the typist insists it's better than "idiot", however, and I'm inclined to agree with him, for once. Mind you, neither of those were my choice - they were given by angry bystanders. Doctor's enough for me, but opinions grow like weeds. I'm sure you'd be charmed by my typist's, ah... 'pet' name for you.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Oh? Do tell.

[prattling_jackanape]

...Eaty Man. [He's not smirking AT you, he promises. Maybe.]

[ofdrumsthesound]

*Eyeroll* Are you sure the typist isn't a five-year-old?

And now you've reminded me that I need to eat. Have you got any food on hand, or should I just bite you and save time?

sorry for the icon, but... you DID say bite :B

[prattling_jackanape]

If he is, he's an awfully big one. For a human, at least.

Perhaps I've got a packet of biscuits in here somewhere, which I'm sure would be more appetising. I'm told I cause my fair share of indigestion, and too vanilla for my own good. [And a moment or two of pocket rummaging produces exactly the packet promised, which he tosses neatly to his... err... frien...emy?]

You should join sixwordstories if you haven't already ;)

[ofdrumsthesound]

*He smiles.* Food is always appreciated. *Because Other knows the Master can't just thank people.

*He proceeds to stuff three of the biscuits into his mouth at once, somehow or other.* Mmm, tasty.

i prob'ly will. i've not RPed in ~3 years, am gettin' my sea legs back!

[prattling_jackanape]

[Vague smile.] I should hope so. That was my last snack, away from the TARDIS.

Bedtime for me now, it's past 2 AM. More tomorrow!

[ofdrumsthesound]

How nice of you to let me have it, then.

Sleep good sleeps! i might make a sws post this afternoon :3

[prattling_jackanape]

Want to play more here?

[ofdrumsthesound]

nah, I think we've run the casual course for this one--i'm thinking up a SWS post though :3

[prattling_jackanape]

[gotmyselfapaperclip]

You keep making that face and it's gonna stick like that.

[prattling_jackanape]

I'm sure it would have done so sometime over the last, oh... eight hundred years. That isn't to say I'm constantly vexed, but... you know.

[gotmyselfapaperclip]

... Okay.

I kind of have an idea.

[prattling_jackanape]

Why, have you had similar troubles before?

[gotmyselfapaperclip]

Being eight hundred years old? Nah, but I have a lot on my mind these days. Everyone does, though.

[prattling_jackanape]

A truth if ever I heard one. Mind if I ask? I'm a curious fellow.

[gotmyselfapaperclip]

Maybe my job's gettin' to me after all this time. I just get to thinking and can't help but dwell on things.

[prattling_jackanape]

Oh? What sort of work do you do, that it weighs so heavily?

[gotmyselfapaperclip]

I'm usually the one asking the questions. [half-smile]

Since we're not on the record, uh, unofficially - I look for things that have gone missing.

Officially, I'm a salesman. Wanna see a catalog? [grin!]

[prattling_jackanape]

Questions are often the best teachers. [Oops you got him interested. Griin!] A sales-detective, then? I must admit, that sounds terribly exciting. Is your catalogue full of missing items?

[gotmyselfapaperclip]

No, it's full of junk that my boss makes me sell. Unless you really have a thing for kitchen gadgets and 'the latest and greatest newest innovation in laundry soap.' [deadpan.]

I... [who said anything about being a detective. that was a long time ago, maaan.] well, if you want to put it that way, sure. It's not the best job in the world, but it could be worse.

That's me. You an artist or something?

[prattling_jackanape]

[Well, unless you question the stuff you find. Not that Doc would take that anything but seriously, because aliens, man. weird.]

I'm afraid my ship would consider the installation of domestic appliances as an insult, or I would. [snrk]

Ah, unfortunately, I lost most of my creative talents a few centuries ago, unless you count invention a form of art. I'm... more of a drifting philanthropist, you could say.
