[Public | Audio]

I humbly request that no one enter the CES from 8:00 to 8:30 pm standard Barge time. I'll be [destroying things] conducting experiments. If anyone has plans I can adjust my schedule to accommodate. [Pleasant pleasant.]

[This part is accidentally video, it was supposed to be audio. His room is wrecked around the nice blue box. His hands are shaking. He's so angry. He's so mad he's pretty sure he can taste colors. He's that mad.]

Talk me out of it. Talk me out of it, right now. [He pulls in a tight breath around his teeth.] I need... a voice of reason... at the moment. My worst nature is about to get the better of me and I know that it is.

So. Talk me out if it before I do something I regret because I'm having a wretched time of managing it on my own! [All of the furious "R" rolling.]

[Private to Dallas | Audio]

[As cool and collected as he can manage.] I would like you to come to the CES with me.

[Private to Stildyne]

There's something you ought to be made aware of, in regards of your new inmate.

What happened?

You sound as though you could use either a cup of tea or a glass of bourbon, Doctor.

Rassilon is under the impression that he's going to get a ticket to ride. Graduation need not be necessary, and this ship not break him because Omega will rescue him from it's confines. No change required, and that he's only waiting to discover a way to salvage Gallifrey.

He claims Omega has assured him of this. I'm attempting to calm down so that I might approach the situation.

[The last time Narvin saw the Doctor anything *near* like this, they were destroying snow Daleks. He wonders what the hell just happened.]

It would help if I knew what I'm supposed to be talking you out of. [Not very sympathetic-sounding, but then Narvin's not usually good at sympathy. But he does sound calm and reasonable and maybe that'll be enough to help at least a little bit.]

How many bottles of it do you have?

What? Why would he tell him something like that?

[WAIT WAIT not the reaction you need to hear. :|]

What do you need me to do?

[He shoves a bit of conversation at Narvin. Just a small bit.]

Don't count on Rassilon ever improving any time soon. This ship will never break him, after all. [Venom. Slimey, angry, talk-people-into-destroying-their-planets venom. Cosmos he could use a snow Dalek to destroy right now. Hence CES time.]

I'm not a very good person sometimes when I become angry, Dick. I act out, think I'm doing the right thing and it turns out to be the wrong thing.

The honest truth is, I want to sabotage it. My very first inclination was to destroy whatever plans it required, even their relationship which I fully advocated the formation of if necessary, to stop this before more people suffered at Rassilon's whim. He attacked my friend only for loving a human.

I need to be talked down. I need to be talked to. I need [Benny] someone telling me that it's wrong and there's always a better approach.

[Oh dear. D:]

I suppose that saying 'take a deep breath' won't help matters? Just what happened?

[Cue Gallifreyan swearing.]

Break him? He thinks the wardens will break him? I could show him what-- [No, not helpful. Or very warden-like or lawful. Even if he does hate Rassilon as much as he admires the myth of Rassilon, and can never quite decide if he wants to honour him or shoot him.]

Whatever you do, don't act hastily. It's not a critical emergency; there's time to decide carefully how to approach this.

[Good save, Narvin.] I'm attempting not to. He really believes that he need not graduate to leave. Or that there's anything about him that might require change.

My brother graduates. They save Gallifrey. And they return Rassilon as he is to it with only caring for two people in the universe, Omega and a collective lump he's labelled "his children"...

Rassilon happened. [D: is right!]

He's utterly convinced Omega will take him from the ship without need of graduation. Even if it is or isn't true, Rose never had much of a chance of getting anywhere with him. The impression is firmly fixed in his mind. [The saddest part is despite being angry he wishes that he had more "f"s for that.]

There is. Do what you need to do to calm down, and then talk to Omega and Rassilon's warden. Or, find someone else to do it, and let them know what you do. I don't blame you for being angry or wanting to do something to stop it, especially if you've got history with him, but you do need to calm down before you do anyting.

Enough. Come to my cabin.

Dick, I wish it weren't so difficult. Especially with my brother involved, whether he wants to be or not.

It would be a disaster. I've seen Gallifreys ruled by tyrants, I don't want to see another.

There must be some way to make him believe that he has to stay, or should stay. [Narvin is not the best person to talk the Doctor down from manipulation. Because his first instinct is to start scheming, too.]

[D:] What happened?

Rassilon is under the impression that, whether or not he graduates, Omega will help him leave the boat. He insists that he's been assured of it.

Talk you out of what?

Believe me, I understand. Stuff like this is always messy.

Do you know his new warden at all?

Edited 2011-09-15 22:27 (UTC)

You must promise me you won't breathe a word of this to anyone else. Please. I need to be able to trust that someone won't go brandishing it, but believe it or not I need the shoulder to lean on.

I met him. He seemed reasonable enough. [Which is helping.]

[He's calming down. Yay calming!] Perhaps I should just tell his new warden about it.

...all right.

Rassilon is under the impression that he doesn't need to graduate. That he needs to put no effort into it, because Omega will take him as soon as they discover a way to salvage Gallifrey.

Considering that he attacked Narvin only for being with a human, and he's made things difficult for a number of people close to me I'm having difficulty reigning in my frustration.

[He's starting to sound calmer at least. He's getting some help.]
