What's been going on: Not much, since I've been on hiatus. All this time I assume he's been kind of out of it, recovering from the Doctor's escape and attempting to modify his link with the House so that the Doctor can't so easily take advantage of it again. Missing all sorts of stuff, which is why he's currently trying to seduce Willow (o.0).
In backdate: Drusilla/Master's first meeting, Ax/Master meeting to discuss terms of repayment (i.e. espionage). Also just backdated an exchange with Kaylee where he let her see the effects of what the Doctor did to him, just to instill some anti-Doctor feelings in someone in Taxon. Gotta start somewhere. We're also handwaving that, once the House calmed down enough to allow visitors, she came to visit him and he pretended that she was helping him fix his head (when really, he was just milking her reaction and had already modified the link at least enough to recover a day or so ago).
Oh and now he's creeping on Jenny, who just wanted to cook some scrambled eggs GDMT.
Things to do this month:
Just about everything on the table is still on the table from last time really.
--Going to have him begin creeping on Tara, starting with the day she has her alien request. He's just going to be... waiting for her in the magic store, trying not to laugh.
--A shuttle tour with Kaylee, where he'll charm her further, learn more about possible technology to co-opt in the future, and will hopefully also get to meet River for the first time (from his perspective).
--Waiting for word on Ax's spying on Martha, Cordy, Wes (possibly others? See Ax's thing for my thoughts or the plotting post I put up if interested)
--I still need to establish that he's trying to get the bracelet off and play around with the tablets. Also that he's getting frustrated with the Doctor's sonic constantly reverting on him, after he spent all that effort making it into a workable laser.
--Um, BODY SWAP EVENT. Anyone want to hear the Master's drums for a little bit? :D
--Still planning some sorta thing with Godric(/Eric?) almost killing him, because I like ambiguously moral-ed stuff like that. And I kind of want the Doctor's screwdriver returned to him relatively soon because I'm starting to feel guilty. A few things there:
---How to set Godric off. Possible backdated stuff with Faith (if you're back by then, Sarah?)? Also him scaring River could do it. Perhaps a combination?
---Would anyone like to intervene and rescue the Master when the time comes? I think the Doctor's going to at least show up and drag him off, and maybe Dru was going to try and get batted away(?), but angry vampire needs a more convincing distraction perhaps.
And then the proposed fallout, from last SOTT: --Segueing nicely, perhaps, into Martha having to deal with the Master as a short-term patient, and the Doctor(s) annoying the crap out of him while he's helpless (and getting back the screwdriver).
--Which then would prompt the Master to have to try making/getting his own screwdriver again. Not saying that's a major thing, but I'd like to have him petition for it at some point, leading to all sorts of fun interactions as he tries to fulfill his 'quest'. Which almost assuredly is going to involve making him have to be nice and 'helpful' to people he'd really rather not. :> Double points if the people he's trying to help actually come to believe his sincerity for a short time. I've toyed with making it the Doctor he helps out, because... well, it'd be funny seeing the Doctor's hopes dashed in the end, and also it could dovetail into all sorts of escape plans gone wrong.
