[The confused expression of Amanda appears on the screen.]

...Hello? Nick? ...Eli? ...Ginn?

[She turns her head slightly looking at her surroundings.]

If you’re getting this I don’t know what happened. This isn’t—

[Her gaze focuses back on the camera and she appears worried.]

Could the--This isn’t Destiny or HomeWorld Command. If anyone else is getting this and has some information about this place I would appreciate it.

[The feed cuts away.]

Tyler. Rose Tyler. You can just call me Rose though. Don't mind.

Sometimes, yeah. We get these curses. Lately they've been all right though. Some people got sick and had bright red noses a few days ago. We had a blizzard, bunch of us wrote letters to Santa. Some people robbed stores and the like. I think most of it was given back since it was a curse. There was mistle toe all over the City and everybody was kissin' everybody.

S'not so bad as some people make out. I think the City's brilliant. [She's in the minority though.]

Rose. And where do you hail from, Rose?

That is just... Very bizarre.

Oh? Unable to go home though. That is troubling. Why do you find the City brilliant, Rose?

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

London, England 2008. What's your name then? And where you from?

[Rose presses her lips together before she answers.]

Yeah, don't like that we can't leave. Bit of a problem but I've got mates here that I thought I'd lost back home.

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Oh...Temporal displacement.

[Her expression grows more troubled. This is really not good.]

I'm Dr. Amanda Perry. But you can call me Amanda. And I'm from...

[There's a pause from her.]

I'm from 2010. I was aboard the Destiny. But I am from America.

Ah. How very fortunate for you, Rose.

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

It happens here. [That's meant to be comforting but Rose is fairly sure it isn't. Not if Amanda is anything like the Doctor and it sounds like she might be.]

S'nice to meet you, Amanda.

[Rose nods a bit] Yeah. Lucked out here. You'll be all right though. People are lovely here. Helpful and kind, y'know?

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Yes I am sure that it does...

Nice to meet you as well, Rose.

Well it seems that way so far. Tell me these curses that hit, can they be avoided?

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Far as I can tell, there's no way to avoid 'em. Some of the dangerous sorta ones that affect the whole City can be avoided by stayin' in your flat I guess.

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Interesting. And what have been some of the more dangerous ones?

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

We had these...weepin' angels one day that if they touched you, you got pulled into this sorta nothin' for a day or so. There were rampagin' unicorns. My mate got stabbed by one in the leg. Some people started wantin' to...eat each other. Durin' Halloween people ended up bein' werewolves, vampires, zombies, that sorta thing.

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

That's just really gruesome. Well at least now I have some idea of what to expect.

How long have you been here for?

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Better to be prepared, yeah?

Almost seven months.

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Yes, at least until I find a way out.

That's some time to be away. You don't miss your home at all?

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[Rose won't burst her bubble and mention that a Time Lord who traverses time, space and dimensions like they're major highways can't get out. Or that someone human with a great deal of determination that ripped through parallel dimensions is stuck as well. It's better she come to that realisation all by herself.]


Made my choice a long time ago, before I ever ended up here. I've got the Doctor, my mate, here. M'all right with not bein' home.

[Of course she misses Jackie, Pete and Mickey sometimes but not with any desire to return.]

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Still I'm sure there's others out there that do miss home.

The Doctor? That's some name. It's a nickname, surely, yes?

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Lotsa people here do.

Nope. It's his name. Just The Doctor.

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well that's different. And he's from your world?

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Sorta. He's from my Universe. [There's a distinction.]

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

That's nice.

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Whaddyou do back home, Amanda? You said you were a doctor, yeah?

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm a scientist. I was working on various advance alien technology.

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[That piques her interest.]

What sorta advanced alien technology? [Clearly she's not surprised by the alien part of things.]

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

Not sure if you are familiar with it, Rose, but Hyperdrives mostly.

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Little bit but I got more experience with time vortex and dimensional cannons.

Re: Video

[most-qualified.livejournal.com]

That's fascinating.



So are you a scientist then, Rose?

Video

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

[That makes her laugh a little and she shakes her head.] Haven't even gotten my A-levels.

Absorbed the time vortex once for a little while but I don't remember much of it.

Worked with a group that was tryin' to work out travelin' through parallel dimensions. We found a...sort of...a source of the time vortex. I was the only one with a key to it and any experience. Sorta...bullied 'em into lettin' me help build the dimensional cannon. Picked up a lot there.

[Because she had to if she was going to maintain control of the group. They weren't going to salute and take orders from her if they didn't think she knew what she was talking about.]
