Voice testing... oh God

Uh hi.

Well, this is weird. And I'm used to weird. Weird that'd make you wish you never found it and one day proceeded to bash your head in just so you forgot it because you couldn't take it anymore weird. But this, this just adds another level to the layers of the freekdom world I'm living in.

Mun -I'll just go ahead and call you that since everyone else around here assumes that title- are you actually going anywhere with this, or am I just going to reside in your head like all those other voices you've got mixed up in here?

It's kind of crowded, by the way. Looks like the inside of my house, but, with you know, less clutter and more psychosis. Open up, give everyone some space. It's your mind I'm in, not a holding cell. Don't want this to end up being some sort of Jean-Paul Sartre convention; no windows, no doors, shit like that.

Yeah, I know there's a movie coming out and that mainly sparked your interest, especially since you like the director who made it. But hey, thanks for reading the book at least (and the sequel) before watching it. The guy they got, not really how I see myself, but you know Hollywood, they have to make everyone pretty. And I get how it makes searching for a representative a lot easier than the countless hours spent finding the "perfect one." We'll just have to see.

Just like if I'm going to be here a while or fade away from your thoughts.

My mun is giggling and wishing her copy of the sequel would stop being lost in the mail.

Just so you know.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-26 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Or both. I'm guessing both, because life is evil like that.

*He sighs, then smiles.* My name is Harry. You?

Nice to meat you, David.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-26 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yup.

It's not so bad. She loves and obeys her Master.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-27 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Harry is just my don't-scare-the-humans name. My chosen name is Master, and you couldn't pronounce or remember my birth name.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-27 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. She has what she thinks it is written out somewhere, but she still can't pronounce it.

Well, I am something of a sadist. Among gods know how many other mental illnesses. And I'd like to rule the universe, although that doesn't seem to be possible.

But Harry is fine.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-27 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't worry. You're interesting--in the good way, not the lets-take-it-apart-and-see-what-happens kind of way.

*Sixwordstories is fun, by the way, if you like freeform stuff. Interested?*

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-27 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Would bizarre be a better word? Because I've visited the end of history, created worlds from thin air, watched space dragons devour stars, and used insects to end civilizations. 'Bizarre' is a word I stopped bothering with centuries ago.

Come join us, then.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-27 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
They lived in space and looked sort of dragonish, it's as good a name as any.

Oh good.

Now then, is there anything to eat around here? I'm hungry.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-27 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
I don't usually bother with restaurants. But I'd rather not eat you, so . . . *He grins.* Lets go look, shall we?

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-27 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
Even if it is, you don't have to order it.

*And he'll just be wandering through the debris of a thousand fandoms until he finds a snack cart.* This thing must be from Transmetropolitan, nowhere else has stewed reindeer and monkey burgers.

*He shrugs and starts looking through it.* It has scrambled ostrich eggs, want one?

And I have now read the second book :D

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-30 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Great! *He'll just go get some. And some meat for himself--it's not like he has to mention what it is, and his new friend is nervous enough already that he'll try not to.*

Here you go.

*He sits down.* So, what are you?

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-30 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you look human. But so do I, on the outside, and I'm not.

And my other senses aren't agreeing with my eyes. You sound wrong for a human, smell wrong, and my timesense doesn't like you at all. You're from a time that never was.

You feel like a Travesty Neverwere to me. And I don't mind them--my unson was the Could've-Been King--but the feeling that comes with them still isn't very nice.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-10-30 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
If you like. But I always felt sorry for the Travesties and the Neverweres. It wasn't their fault that they were edited, they just happened to be in the wrong spot when the Time War happened.

It's not like all the soldiers in that damned war didn't have a few Neverwere selves anyway.

So, what made you into a monster?

Its okay

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-11-03 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
Same mind, weird new body? *He chuckles.* I've been there. Of course, for Time Lords it was normal. For humans, not so much.

Being a clone isn't so bad, if they put your soul back in.

I hope it wasn't quite as gross as the book, it can be fun to read but less to watch.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-11-04 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
I am, yes. From the dead world that was Gallifrey.

You don't seem like a monster, so you might as well assume they did. Makes it easier to get by, if nothing else.

Yay :D

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-11-04 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you don't feel normal, but trust me when I say that most humans are too dumb to notice.

And if you're lucky you might learn how to shapeshift or something, wouldn't that be cool?

In other words completely insane?

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-11-05 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Why, what don't you like about it?

Cool. And yay, sausagephone!

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-11-05 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, that does sound unpleasant. Probably rather painful, too.

. . . ever read Lovecraft?
Edited 2012-11-05 05:30 (UTC)

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-11-05 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he was.

I never said I didn't believe you. Just that it sounds like you live in the sort of world he might've based his stories on.

[personal profile] ofdrumsthesound 2012-11-06 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
*Er, none of it? The Master has had a weird, weird life. Everything described so far sounds pretty much average.*

Maybe he saw glimpses of many worlds . . .

Fading away might be better. I wish I could.

I'd say run while you can, but it's probably too late. In more ways than one.

I figured that went without saying.
