He's soooo hard to buy for. Don't take it too hard. I've given him bulk gifts before with a bunch of unique and powerful things and then he just gets all fluttery over some glowy mushrooms that happen to be growing on one of them. He's ridiculous.
Well, I am that. Not gonna argue with you there. I'd do me, I really would.
[Alas, the Grandmaster doesn't seem very choosy, so she's not convinced it's much of a compliment coming from him. What isn't attractive, seen through his eyes?]
Synthetics, mainly. But I wouldn't mind getting back to nature with you, dear.
[Besides, he doesn't even know which self she wants. Roger Delgado, obviously.
There must be a middle ground between boring monogamy and constant indiscriminate shagging. Even a brief period of relative restraint would make some lucky few of them feel more desirable/less disposable. But what would she know? She's a tease. She's not been making any attempt to satisfy him or follow through on their flirtation.]
Awkward. I usually get on SO well with people whose job it is to protect other people. Madly in love with you, was she?
Wanna keep some mystery. Woman's prerogative. 😘
You know the trope of baddies giving speeches about how they're going to destroy the world? The Doctor gives speeches about how he's going to save it.
Even he doesn't know what he's like. He's old and young, funny and serious, an honest liar and a brave coward. He soaks it all up like a sponge. Sometimes he lets his pets decide. [She's had a lot of fun with that actually.]
Nope, but now I get to say cutesy things like "woman's prerogative" about it.
Are you pickier about monologues than sexual partners? That's what I'm taking from this.
Check a mirror, honey. I don't have boring friends.
[Missy has a higher degree in cosmic sciences than her dear Doctor (neeeerds), but she's bone-dead stupid when it comes to noticing people and people's behaviour. If the Doctor says she was thwarted by love then she must've been. And getting the Grandmaster interested in the Doctor is absolutely a bad idea for all parties involved, but Missy loves bad ideas, so unlike Taneleer, she's not going to stand in the way. What's the worst that could happen?]
Where was the backhand in that? Was it "friends"? What should I say we are instead? Courting?
[This universe may be ending soon, but the word soon doesn't really mean anything to Missy. Maybe when Thanos has the Time Stone. She thinks the cool kids should all wait outside for the whole thing to blow over.]

where does the time go
Too topical? Close to home? They're often arming themselves against giant rampaging monsters.

Fair point. Too bad for them I'm out of the business of buying those for a while and Taneleer is very picky.
no subject
OMG I know right
VERY picky
Got him a swarm of air-piranha. The shadows that melt the flesh. He didn't love 'em.

Glowy mushrooms sound more like your thing. Hallucinogenic, yes-no-maybe?
no subject
Not all that glitters is gold and not all mushrooms that glow give you a fun trip. But you're not wrong. You ever do anything like that?

[ Well it really wouldn't do for him to suggest he hasn't got other options, would it? He hardly feels like she's committed to him either. ]
I usually don't do it in the company of anyone but my bodyguard. You never met Topaz, did you? She'd have hated you for sure.

[ Not that he'll mean it. He's pretty comfortable with his sicko status, in and out of the bedroom.
Flirting is fine with him. Sometimes wanting is far better than having; it is for now, anyway. ]
If by madly in love you mean she was in love and mad at me all the time, yes. I miss her every now and then.
no subject
That's sweet. And you have the capacity to miss someone, which is even sweeter.
Come to think of it, my guard wouldn't like you much either. Prison, not body.
no subject
What makes them so special you let them keep you?
[ No one's getting a little jealous or competitive here, nope. ]
no subject
Best friend. Archenemy.
[Same species, but she won't rub that in. She likes you, GM.]
no subject
Isn't that always the way... This wouldn't be that Doctor fellow, would it?
no subject
That's the one.
no subject
What's he like?
no subject
One of my dastardly schemes was thwarted by love. Yikes. Probably wouldn't have happened if I understood what it is.
Where to begin? He's sanctimonious. Always right, except when he's wrong. He can be a party pooper.
no subject
If you don't understand what love is, how can you say it's what thwarted you?
That's what I've heard from Taneleer too, but he's also a stranger to the guy as far as I know.

I can go either way on monologues. They've got to have some gusto or I'll nod off.
See, now I'm glad I asked. It's important to have different perspectives. Taneleer made him sound like a boring you.
[ Because he knew getting the Grandmaster interested in the Doctor was a bad idea for all parties involved. ]

Now there's an idea. If someone could complete a monologue while they're doing the hanky-panky with me, they deserve it. I'm gonna have to try that.
You're a master of backhanded compliments, dear. I appreciate it.
[ Well this universe may be ending soon if Thanos has his way. A squabble between them couldn't do more damage than that, could it..?
In any case, he's willing to wait for his turn. ]
