Character(s): the Doctor, Rose and Rosette? ...lol
Content: After exploring Destiny Islands for a bit, the Doctor's Time Lord senses tingle.
Setting: St. Destino's / The TARDIS?
Time: Evening... Early week 18
Warnings: Nada

It had hit him right as they'd been exploring Destiny Islands. While the girls had walked ahead, he'd stopped when he'd sensed it. It being something that just COULDN'T be. It wasn't possible. At all. They were all gone. All of them. He was asked what was wrong, and a grin and a lie. He just realized he'd left something on in the TARDIS, but it would be okay. That was his excuse.

It couldn't be real. Yet, there it was. It tickled his mind their whole time there, leaving him distracted until he just couldn't ignore it any longer. Whoever it was, they had to be in Paixao. He was sure.

"I have to go back."

Allowing Jenny to continue to explore, the Doctor lead Rose and Rosette back to the doorway, to the church.

((Ooc: Gogo summarizing?! lol Prolly doesn't quite fill in the time they were gone, but oh well. >.> Hopefully Jenny-mun won't mind assumin' Jenny remained doing.. whatever she wanted. XD))

Honestly, Rosette didn't buy the "left something in the TARDIS" excuse. Sure, the thing was big enough, but it was the way the Doctor said it that left doubts. She only grinned like that when she was covering something, and she couldn't help but think that that might have been exactly what the Doctor was doing.

Announcing they had to turn back and letting Jenny go explore on her own had only clinched the doubts. Something was off. She looked up at the Doctor, nearly jogging to keep up with his long stride as they crossed the fields. "Is there a reason we're going back, or did you just forget to turn the stove off?"

Rose frowns, sharing an uncertain glance with Rosette, before taking up residence on the Doctor's free side. They both caught it; something was wrong. "Doctor?" she asks carefully, "what is it?"

What would cause him to simple up and drop all kinds of adventure? And he seen something that they didn't?

He knew there was going to be questions, he just still hadn't decided how much or even how little to explain. The Doctor just wasn't sure what to think, beyond how it shouldn't be possible. However, knowing these two, he wasn't about to get out of explaining.

"Timelords are able to... sense one another," the Doctor began, digging in his pocket for the TARDIS key as he led them around the church to where the TARDIS had been parked in some of the overgrowth. "And I sensed one, but that isn't possible. There's only me."

Rosette stopped short outside the opened TARDIS. The explanation made sense, sure, but from the Doctor's tone it sounded like it shouldn't have. "If it's not possible, then what's causing it?"

Rose stumbled to a stop, staring wide-eyed at the Doctor. She's heard how he's spoken of other Time Lords before, seen what it does to him. How could... how could there be more? They died.

She follows after him again. "But that's... that's a good thing, isn't it? I mean, what if in Paixao it's possible? It wouldn't be only you."

Pushing the key into the lock, he unlocked the TARDIS, leaving the door open for the girls as he moved inside, towards the controls, barely pausing as he pulled his coat off, tossing it onto one of the railings.

"It just shouldn't be possible. The event that ended my people's lives is locked in time. Someone couldn't be pulled from it. It just isn't possible," he tried to explain, leaving off as much details as he could still manage.

Meanwhile, the Doctor moved around the control panels, pushing buttons and flipping switches as he looked at the monitor. He was scanning. Scanning to find out if what he was sensing was really there.

Rosette followed him in, watching his quick movements as she leaned against the railing and thought. She agreed with Rose on this one - wouldn't the Doctor having another one of his own kind around be a good thing?

After a few moments she spoke up. "Could someone have gotten out before it was locked? Or not have been there in the first place and survived?" It was grasping at straws, sure, but it was still a possibility.

Rose settles further away from the others against part of a wall in the console room, biting part of her lip and slipping out her journal, occasionally glancing up at the Doctor. She hopes that he's wrong - that it is possible. It would be better for him, wouldn't it? To finally have someone that would be an equal to him... not a human. Not like Rose.

Someone that she could never be. The thought saddens her some, but... but it'd be for the best.

She doesn't say anything, doesn't give the Doctor false hope that she wants to give. If he gets let down, she doesn't want to have made it worse.

With a sigh, she starts to find herself distracted by a certain voice conversation (http://community.livejournal.com/paixaomb/96205.html).

The Doctor shook his head to Rosette, listening to her as he continued to flip controls, "It doesn't work like that, I'm afraid."

Concentrating on the console, he didn't really pay attention to Rose, other than noting she was using her journal. The TARDIS was still low on power. The fact it was running at all was almost a miracle. Scanning though was proving to be even more difficult. The sensors seemed to be terribly confused, but was it really a surprise? He quickly pressed buttons and flips several more switches. Maybe if he reduced the range...

After a few more adjustments and a bash to the console, the Doctor settled in front of the screen, holding it as he watched the data fill the screen.

He couldn't get much more than what was in the city, and there was a lot. Plenty of humans, though not nearly as many as he would have thought, which was odd, plenty of not humans, other mamals, and... there.

"Well... there you are," the Doctor said quietly to no one in particular staring at the screen. There was more than one Time Lord here for certain. It really wasn't his imagination.

Who were they and, more to the point, how were they here? The Doctor had no answers, and unfortunately he had no idea where they were exactly except for most certainly being in the city.

"Huh." Rosette fell silent, watching the Doctor work the console (which was proving to be interesting in and of itself, especially when he whacked it with a rubber mallet) and trying to figure out any loopholes they might have missed. The Doctor kept saying it was impossible, but if he was this worried about it, then-

The Doctor spoke up, and Rosette hopped off the railing and headed toward the console, looking over his shoulder at the screen. It wasn't as though she understood the readings at all, but the Doctor's reaction was clear enough to make up for that. "Let me guess: it's not as impossible as you thought."

Rose has been doing good keeping the conversation to herself, until she can't quite handle it any longer and she closes her journal quickly. She stares off around the walls, trying to reason with her discomfort.

After another moment, she calms down and becomes aware of the console room once more. She almost echoes Rosette's 'not as impossible' statement by warily speaking out, "Doctor," she warbles, "who's... the Master?"

"So it would seem," the Doctor replied Rosette a bit disconnectedly as he still stared at the monitor.

It was Rose's words, however, that finally snapped his gaze away from the screen, his face shocked. Had she really just said what he thought she'd just said? "W-What?" he uttered after a moments pause, reeling from her question. How could she...?

It was rare to truly throw the Doctor for a loop, but Rose just had, quite spectacularly.

Okay, that was unexpected. Rosette stepped away from the console, looking from the Doctor to Rose and back again. She was starting to put two and two together and wondering if four was what she thought it was.

She looked at the Doctor and raised an eyebrow. "Friend of yours?"

Maybe if it was another day, about something completely different, Rose would chalk up rendering the Doctor speechless as pretty awesome. Right now? She feels ill.

"I was talking to him," she says carefully, and then remembers to add, "on the journals." She tries to keep her attention on the Doctor, but her gaze wanders. It wasn't that this Master bloke scared her, but what he said, how he reacted... it was jarring. She swallows, licking her lips. "Said he knew you." 'Better than you or any other stupid human ever could' rings through her mind.

The Doctor just looked stunned. Completely and utterly stunned as he stared at Rose. The Master? Alive? HERE?

How was that possible? It just... wasn't! The Master...

Bad. This could be nothing but very, very bad.

Breaking his gaze from Rose, he stared upwards, not looking really at anything in particular, as he leaned against the console. It took a long time for the Doctor to finally speak once more. "No. No, not a friend," he responded slowly, still seemingly trying to wrap his mind around this discovery.

"An enemy," the Doctor said, pausing briefly, taking a deep breath and letting it out. "My greatest enemy."

Finally moving once more, the Time Lord crossed the TARDIS to his coat to dig out his journal.

Rose blanches at the 'greatest' part of that and she worriedly shifts to her feet and towards him, as if suddenly he could be very much like a cornered animal. She's seen him face many enemies, yes. Seen him face Daleks more than once - who he was familiar with, and maybe that's why she's now wary around him. The Doctor was unpredictable on his good days.

Who knew what he would do with this Master fellow. "It's..." she starts to venture, fingers brushing together at her sides as a nervous habit, "I'm sure it's going to be fine, Doctor. I mean, what good is it doing anything bad in Paixao? Really he'd probably just end up fighting with Maleficent and her gang, which would turn out for the best."

"It's... not that simple. Never is with him," the Doctor tried to explain, as he pulled out the journal and moved over to Rose. "He'd probably be more likely to join with Maleficent and the others. He'd probably get on quite well with that lot."

The Master working with the likes of Maleficent was surreal and most definitely worrying. Hopefully that would not come to be, but it was certainly a possibility. As was him teaming up with the Organization. Of course, 'teaming up' was more along the lines of 'using them.'

Scanning quickly through the entries, the Doctor attempted to find where Rose had been conversing with him. No... No... Wait. Who was this on the message board? It wasn't a face he recognized at all, which was a bit confusing, but the visible conversation with Rose left little doubt that they most definitely knew him.

"The last time I saw him, he fell into the Eye of Harmony, well, the link to it. He was destroyed, but somehow it seems he has a new body..."

((oops. edited to fix some canon fail on my part.))

On a scale of bad to worse, this was somewhere around rock bottom. For the Doctor to be that completely shocked, for him to be acting like this now...and calling this Master person his greatest enemy? As if the city wasn't bad enough already.

But if there was one thing Rosette had learned how to do, it was work against overwhelming odds. If the Master had tipped things this badly, they'd just have to tip him right back.

Much as she wanted to know how the hell someone got a new body, this was not the time. "So what are we going to do about him?"

So, there was a lot of things 'not good' about this? Figures as much. The Doctor finally, after all this time of being alone from other Time Lords, manages to have another one around? And it's an enemy.

From what she knew of the Time Lords... she didn't really ever think that there were enemy Time Lords. Well, every race had their darker side; Time Lords weren't able to be exempt from that...

At Rosette's question, Rose nods. That was it, wasn't it? What do they do now.

"I... I don't know," the Doctor responded after a moment, journal still in hand as he settled onto the seat near the console.

To say this was an unexpected turn of events was an understatement. He was already trying to work out how to deal with so many impossible things, and now he had the Master to deal with too, on top of everything else.

"Watch him, for now, I suppose. Figure out what he's up to," he finally reasoned. Obviously he was up to something. He was always up to something. And if he wasn't yet, it wouldn't be long before he was. Not to mention, there were plenty of those the Master could use. It would be very bad news if he started dealing with the Organization or Maleficent and her bunch of villains.

Maleficent and the Master? What a surreal and very frightening image that conjured up. Hopefully nothing like that would come to pass.
