[voice post] A time for childish things

It smells like darkness. It can't be hers.But this. This has to be hers. Tainted by shadow.

It won't come off no matter how many times I wash it. No matter how many times I hide it away. I can bury it six feet in the ground and I can still feel it burning my nostrils. [the sound of hands being rubbed against a bristly face again and again]

Who? Who is doing this? Why? Why? [now a softer, plushier fur is brushed against the communicator]

Did she leave this on purpose? I hope.

[ooc: The Master has come to find Yorda's stuffed bear as seen in the picture here.]

How... how do you smell darkness?

Who are you talking about?

I can't get away from it. It's invasive.

The girl gone astray. The sliver of light in a shadow.

I didn't even think darkness had a smell.

... Someone kidnapped her?

Gone. Gone gone gone.

I wanted to talk.

What're you talking about? You dan't smell darkness! That's impossible.

You can't smell it?

It's vile. But appealing. Like fumes. Petrol. Gasoline. Fire.

But darkness doesn't have a smell.

Dullard.

Hey! I'm not a dullard!

If you want to prove that, you can bring me some food.

Darkness...

Where did you find it?

I was walking around. I don't remember.

It's familiar.

[she sighs] You don't remember anything?

Just walking. And I smelled something that choked the air out of me.

And there was this thing on the ground.

A road in town, somewhere, maybe. I honestly don't know.

...I guess the where doesn't matter. Not when they can tear a whole anywhere in this damn castle.

Holes.

More than the castle. More than just places. People.

...I know that more than most. And if they try it on Yorda... [she trails off, the implicated promise more than threatening enough]

[wasn't exactly what Master was talking about, but now he realizes what she meant]

If they try it, there'll be pain.

What are you going on about? [despite the slight playfulness of the question, there's an undertone of worry]

Don't you come around, looking to find someone to you and your self-righteous blathering.

This is about her.

Oi! I'm not talking about myself here.

Who's "her"?

The girl. My companion unknowing. Light and warmth.

[Wary; he knows what happened to the last one the Master called "companion]

And who is she?

Do you know what she did for me, Doctor?

She stopped them. For a brief moment, time and space and dimensions and schisms stopped. The noise stopped, Doctor. And I could hear breathing.

She... she did what? How?

You think that in all of my years of my existence and living with these forsaken drums, I would know how the other person did something to make me the happiest I've ever been since my childhood?

[just. Complete shock here, and it shows in his voice]

And this is the girl who went missing?

You know Yorda, don't you, Doctor?

I've heard of her a few times in conversation. I've never met or spoken to her.

[ as though he's choking on his own words]
I-

If-

She's too important to let go.

[and again with the complete shock. Congratulations, Master, you've succeeded in making the Doctor speechless]

That's what it takes to get you quiet?

All these years, finally found the answer.

[oh, Master, prepare yourself for sarcasm galore] What was that? Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the universe exploding because you admitted someone besides you is important.

Jog off.

And while you're out, FIND HER.

I prefer to walk, thanks. Or run.

I don't even know what she looks like! How am I supposed to find her?

Ask Urd. She's also on the hunt.

Or you could tell me, since you actually seem to be paying attention to someone else's condition for a change.

Doctor. I'm in no mood.

But allow me to illustrate the situation with just one question: since when have I ever been so gracious as to help you with anything ever?

Because I'm trying to help someone you're at least pretending to care about.

No. You're trying to help someone Urd knows so you're aware that they might have a modicum of good in them.

And again, when have I ever helped you?

I don't even know Urd! I didn't even know she knew this girl until you told me.

We've teamed up! ... Rarely. Mostly you tried to kill me, but it still happened!

Really, you should. Goddess and whatnot. But after you find Yorda. Find her. Find her. Find her.

Then tell me what she looks like so I know what to look for!

[clicks off]

Oi! I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU HERE!
