Compy and Chocolate... open to all!

[theregothedrums.livejournal.com]

((The Master's video game preferences inspired by the wonderful Raven Aorla. Go read a few of her fics. The post will still be here when you get back, I promise!))


Even the Master needs a break from planning to take over the world, and video games were a welcome distraction. Once he'd found out about the computer room (Maddie had certainly been chatty, but in a far more useful manner than some human females) he'd sought it out right away, and had commandeered two of the systems. On one monitor, tiny computer sprites who worshiped him as a god were at war with each other, and on the other, a green scaly monster was rampaging through the complex city he'd spent the morning constructing. That was the most beautiful thing about building things up; getting to see them all come crashing down.

And, of course, playing video games required munchies. The box of truffles that lay so invitingly open on a nearby table otherwise occupied by... were those really dot matrix printers? had been quite tempting.

Really, too tempting. It wasn't until eating his third, which tasted of a fruit that had never set root in Earth soil, that he realized what a mistake he'd made. And by then it was far too late. Having been overcome by a rather giddy and voluble mood, he'd ignored one game and shut down the other in favor of the local intranet.

But you'll need to look to the comments to read what he had to say.

[[ETA: Yes, it's those sorts of chocolates. The ones that only the n00bs and the thrillseekers go near. Your choice of temporary magical effect!]]

Hello, all you bustling lower life forms. Thank you for being so entertaining. No, I mean that. It's charming. You're like those little dolls you make. They wobble but they don't fall down.

Only, you eventually do fall down. Good thing there's so very many of you.

And you do like your music, so I simply must share.



It's a dedication, of course. I'm sure you'll both appreciate it. I know you've always appreciated them.

What do you mean 'lower life forms'?

[The moment after he'd posted Rory rethought his choice of username, but it was too late then. Not many people knew about that, anyway, and it was the first thing he could think of after rwilliams21, which had been his email at home and was even more of a giveaway.]

Not as entertaining as a good crossword, but much more useful.

You think you're real tough, don't you? Us humans can be pretty dangerous if you try to mess us around. I've stopped the Dalek army twice I could probably take out whoever you are.

[Rose was rather disturbed by the username, which had changed from her original selection, but there was little she could do about it, as apparently the edit function wasn't working.]

I am not going to discuss them.

Is this one of those ridiculous big-eared creatures?

Oh no. This is just so painfully you.

I've already have Scissor Sisters ruined for me, must you blight everything?


_{And I'd be mad at you for baiting but everyone has to learn the lesson about getting into fights on the internet sometime. Even if it is you instigating.}

Re: Username: MrFixit

I can see the pun you're setting me up for. Bit crude for you, isn't it?

I'm just feeling so marvelously chatty. And I've been having some wonderful conversations.

Your username sounds like a stripper's pseudonym. Intentional?

BadFoxx

[serrulata.livejournal.com]

Freud, I think my slip is showing. I don't know, I may have been one once, but after the first thousand or so years things start to run together.

When does one distinguish between a mere stripper and a professional sexual artist?

_{If it wasn't intentional before, though, it definitely is now ♥}

Really? First bad music and then you go and pick the Normans?
The Macedonians were a lot more fun. Alexander knew how to throw one hell of a party.

[Yes, it was obviously a troll post, but Methos was bored. He opened a beer, ignoring a scowling house elf and reached for a piece of chocolate from the box]

[theregothedrums.livejournal.com]

It's not as if it matters. I draw the line at using the Goths as a pseudonym.

Alexander wasn't bad for a human. Weeping because he had no lands left to conquer... it's kind of sweet, really.

Re: normanconquests

[ancient-adam.livejournal.com]

He was ambitious as hell for a mortal and amazingly good in bed. He was never that weepy though, even when he was roaring drunk. Someone got that damned wrong.

So, alien, demon, or some other non-human type with delusions of grandeur?

To pull me out of deep waters, maybe.

But you're not the system I was looking for. (Hello.)

Lest we forget the other part of this post, Finland had come in to the computer lab. He did not get along with computers much, and usually had to have Sweden fix them. But hey, he was bored.

He saw the abandoned box of chocolates and took one. It made him feel ill for a second, but once he felt better, he went to sit down.

Except his balance was thrown off and he fell to the floor, where he was greeted by a shock.

Breasts.

Finland looked down to see that he apparently had breasts now. And...well...

Finland looked around for a reflective surface and turned green when he saw.

He's turned into his sister.

"PERKELE!"

They could probably hear that from the sorting room.

Oh come now. That's a bit too obvious, isn't it? If you start twirling a handlebar mustache and saying "muahaha", I'm just not going to play anymore.

Re: UpNorth

[theregothedrums.livejournal.com]

I haven't worn a mustache in a long time, Doctor. And it's always such fun when we play.

And who do you think -you- are?
Honestly, you non human types think you're so sodding superior. You're not, I'll have you know.

All right, what's your record time for taking over a planet, then? Because mine's been shaping up beautifully.
