The Master sat at the back of the local library, reading up on some of the more bleaker parts of Earth's history. Of course, to him all of Earth's history was bleak, but it was nice to see exactly what he had been up against and what sort of things they had gone through in the past. Of course, he saw the time lines and knew everything, but it was interesting and rather funny to see the human perspective on the situations.
Finally getting bored, he left the books lying on the table, not really caring if he left a mess. Pulling down his suit jacket, he walked out the front door and down the steps. Some sort of drink was next, he felt, and he headed towards the shops.
