Dec. 11th, 2011 04:48 pm[Rory just wants to get to work. It's just really difficult when you have to stop and make out with every second person. At this point, he's beginning to wish he'd stayed inside. Any more of this and he's going to have to go and find Amy and take shelter wherever she is.]

Nov. 20th, 2011 07:45 pmTitle: The One Time Things Didn't Go Wrong
Summary: Amy and the Doctor actually listen to Rory for once.
Rating: G
Characters/pairings: The Doctor, Amy, Rory. Possibly pairings, but I don't mention them in-fic.
Author's notes: I'm aware it's fairly OOC. The Doctor and Amy would never actually listen to me. Let's call it speculative fiction.
“Come along, Ponds,” he said, taking the stairs three at a time, “off we go to sand and sun, sort of, two suns, two and a half technically but no one really cares about the half a sun, if you—what?”
This was in response to Rory standing with his arms folded in front of the door. Amy was already standing in front of him, glaring at him.
“He won’t move,” she said.
“Look,” said Rory, speaking as quickly as he could. It looked like Amy might kick him in the knee if he wasn’t fast about it. “Can we not rush into this one? For once can we check what’s outside, not split up, and all walk out together as a group? Please? Especially as this is another vacation-y sort of place and that never turns out well.”
“Roooory,” said the Doctor. He was very fond of Rory’s name. “Rory Pond. Rory the Roman. Roman Rory. You’re sucking the fun out of EVERYTHING.”
“Yeah,” said Amy. “What he said. Stop being an idiot.”
“Please?” said Rory. “You never listen to me. Can you listen to me just this one time?”
The Doctor and Amy looked at each other and went into a huddle.
“Fine,” said Amy, coming out of it. “Just this once. But it’s still stupid.”
“And don’t press any weird buttons,” said Rory.
“Fine,” said the Doctor.
“And don’t open any doors that say ‘Do Not Open’ on them.”
“Aaamyyy,” whined the Doctor. “Your husband’s mad with power. Stop him.”
Amy kicked Rory in the knee.
But in the end, they followed Rory’s directions. They didn’t walk into any horrendous pits of doom, they didn’t have any life-threatening encounters with the locals, and best of all, none of them died. It was a wonderful vacation.
***R&R. I made do without a beta, but I'm still on the lookout for one. If I get a good enough response, I might even write another one.

As the TARDIS juddered to a stop in what was presumably the middle of the Space Bahamas, the Doctor banged a few more switches on the console. It was probably for show.“Come along, Ponds,” he said, taking the stairs three at a time, “off we go to sand and sun, sort of, two suns, two and a half technically but no one really cares about the half a sun, if you—what?”
This was in response to Rory standing with his arms folded in front of the door. Amy was already standing in front of him, glaring at him.

Oct. 28th, 2011 04:34 pmHi. Sorry. Not in for work, again, because while Amy doesn't mind me using her for posting, I think it's a bit much dragging her with me to work. Unless there's an emergency. In which case I'll beg.
Is that fine?
Do you mind?
Cheers. Sorry. That was me asking Amy and. Yes. That's something that would be happening.
Anyway, as she said earlier, I'm a ghost. Not even a poltergeist, which would be useful because I could just...throw stuff about, but completely insubstantial. I get it...funny, how often have I nearly or actually died...lots.
It's really not that funny. It's actually getting kind of old.
Has anyone worked out how to actually reverse this yet? Because I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Oct. 1st, 2011 11:32 am[Rory does his slightly embarrassed sort of half wave at the camera.]
Hey. I just got off work and I've...a sort of strange feeling I've been missing something rather major. [He looks halfway amused and lets the camera drift over each of his shoulders, where there are approximately five million people milling about. Approximately.] Amy, I probably won't be home for a while. Though if today's what I think it is, I doubt you're home either. If anyone happens to be looking for me, anyway...I'm here.

Sep. 21st, 2011 10:35 am[Video opens on Rory looking hesitant and wearing a grey plaid shirt. Steepling his fingers together briefly in front of his mouth, he takes a breath, and then lowers them to speak.]
You know, you always sort of...know this place is weird. I mean, it doesn't really let you forget, ever. But...it sort of just drives it home when you can say sentences like 'Lady Gaga flew into the City inside a giant egg and then stole the colour of my wife's hair.' [He raises a finger and jabs it forward to impress his next point.] Whiiich I can.
At least, that's what I'm assuming happened, Lady Gaga is free to make her own statements of denial, I guess.
This is so weird.

Sep. 10th, 2011 05:58 pmI’m all open-eyedAnd I need surpriseMy hands feel like wiresMy fingers rustI justify my Thoughts of Flight
And run to a space on the horizon
And there make a bed for us to lie on
Caught in tumbles
My oh my
To my surprise
Another canvas
Another slate
It’s my mistake, I just needed
So I’ll run to a space on the horizon
And there make a bed for us to lie on
We won’t describe
Even though we will try
What it’s like to be smiling in open air
My skin grows over
My mistakes
And I just can’t wait
The first few seconds
Disintegrate
Into a state of joy
So I’ll run to a space on the horizon
And there make a bed for us to lie on
We won’t describe
Even though we will try
What it’s like to be smiling in open air
One more day of perfect terror
Close my eyes and I’m still there
Wrapped in water
My eyes explode with all this light
My days just melt into the nights
And I can hear a symphony
Of perfect crystal melody
And I just can’t stop smiling at you
I just can’t stop smiling
Can every time I breathe in
Be every time you breathe out?
Could every time I breathe in
Be every time you breathe out?
[ Amy blinks, opening her mouth and closing it again, settling on a grin instead. ] Of course you'd end up cursed the minute we get back here. Of course. And I just jinxed myself, didn't I? Did I jinx myself?
[ And then something much more important crosses her mind, and ignoring Rory's singing, she speaks directly into the device. ] Doctor, you're still here right?
[ooc: Rory's cursed with Sing and Shout today! He'll be singing songs from Arthur Darvill's actual RL band because I couldn't resist.]

Jul. 31st, 2011 09:07 pm[Video of Amy and Rory's bed, only...Rory doesn't appear to be in it. Instead of him, there's a slight woman, face part buried into her arm on the pillow for a moment until she makes a soft grumbling sound, stretches, and accidentally prods Amy. She opens her eyes, frowning sleepily and prods sideways some more. There is a person there, WHAT?
The woman opens her eyes properly and looks sideways, looking slightly panicked until she sees who it is, upon which she looks relieved, if confused.]
Amy?

Jul. 26th, 2011 08:02 am12:20 - If this is a curse, it doesn't seem to fit any sort of seasonal theme. Which seems odd, somehow, with this. I know not everything fits like that but...all the same.
12:51 - Don't sleep. Anybody. It is definitely a curse and it is definitely one of the horrible ones.
1:27 - It's not as if we haven't run on very little sleep before. Literally, run. I'm sure we'll be fine.
2:53 - Alright, I...think I'm beginning to change my mind. This is worse. You can't even close your eyes for a moment. ... Oh, god, Amy, really... Well, she's...right, at least. Definitely. Don't.
3:40 - I think if everyone really was as incompetent as infomercials would have us believe, I'd have even more work than I do.
5:00 - [filtered to hospital] I'm really sorry, I know it's a bad time, and I know I practically just got there, but I can't be in today. Curse reasons.
5:30 - Never been to a zoo just before dawn before. I suppose there's a first time for everything.
6:45 - I think this park is very probably also bigger on the inside.
10:00 - Surprisingly, neutrals are not actually the enemy.
10:15 - A room can only stand so much red in it before it starts actually hurting your eyes. And even thinking of anything white is a horrible idea.
10:18 - For the record, I like red, obviously, I just also think that there can be too much of it.
10:18 - A red sectional is too much.
11:49 - There is literally nothing wrong with this chair!
4:11 - [filtered away from Amy, Rose and the Doctor] Oh shit.
5:00 - [filtered to the Doctor] Help? You know Rose better, what do we DO?
6:47 - Wow. Just...wow.
7:00 - scmjnudfuyasdfssssssssssssssssssss
7:01 - Shit, sorry.
7:02 - [filtered to Amy] Hey. Are you nearly back? How much longer do you think you'll be?
7:03 - [filtered to Amy] Right, yes. I...yes. Yeah. I just....you know. I'd like to know you're alive. Firsthand. Videre est credere and all...that.
7:05 - [filtered to Amy] Oh…yeah, sorry. ...neither did I. Seeing is believing.
7:08 - [filtered to Amy] That's what videre est credere means, I meant. Or...sorry. I'm tired.
9:50 - Lying on a sofa: actually not a brilliant idea when you're trying to stay awake.
9:52 - [filtered to the Doctor] Uh...would you mind checking in? Sorry, just...say something. It would help.
10:43 - Does anybody here know the rules to Ludo? I have a question.
11:00 - Okay, that's ridiculous. You definitely have to roll exactly to reach the final square. You can't...invent a move based on random piece capture and then say that as long as you reach the square at all it's okay.
11:15 - Alright, time for Monopoly. No-one really knows the rules to that anyway. ‘Buy things’.
11:40 - How did you end up with all the railroads?!
12:20 - It's definitely over. Woke up with the top hat stuck to my face. The curse, I mean.
[ooc: So this is a post ranging over the entire day. IC, he would have been adding to it on the times noted. So if you want to comment, time-stamp your comment as to where you want it to happen. Comment multiple times! Just. PLEASE. Time-stamp. Amy's matching post is here.]

Jul. 12th, 2011 12:26 amThis is partially a thanks to Jack and Mercy for letting me and Amy stay when we...sort of...lost our house. And partially a...just...letting anyone who wants to know know sort of thing in which I tell anyone who cares that Amy and I have moved into Building 11. Um... Yeah, this might've been pointless, a bit.
[A pause. And then he sighs and shuts it off.]
[ooc: Sometimes having consta-access to a Network isn't the greatest of things. Thank your lucky stars there is no Twitter. But yes! TARDIS gone, Amy and Rory have moved to play house in their very own flat, #294! There is like....a couch. And a wooden chair. And that is all. Sob.]

Jun. 26th, 2011 02:08 amI still remember it. Most of it. It didn’t go away after everything came back. And, yes, I know I’m being cryptic, but that’s on purpose because I actually really don’t want to talk about this but I don’t think I can stop talking until I do. Properly. Which is typical.

Jun. 25th, 2011 12:36 am[There's a boy and a girl walking down the road, hand in hand. They're young - too young, really, to be out at this time. Just after the video clicks on, the girl lets go of the boy's hand and frowns at him.]
Rory. Why are you holding my hand?
[She looks around, then.] And where are we?
[The boy--Rory--looks around, and then does a bit of biting of his lip. He looks slightly like he might cry.]
I.......don't know. [He takes a few panicked breaths.] I don't think we should be outside, though. I think it's late. I think we need....I think we need to find an official building or something.
Don't be such a girl. [The girl shakes her head and holds her hand out to him again.] Let's go explore! That's what the Doctor would do, too.
B-but Amelia, it... [He reaches over and takes her hand.] It's different. We're not the Doctor.
[Amelia resolutely starts walking, pulling Rory along with her.] We could be like him, if you weren't always so scared. C'mon. If you want to find an official building, we have to look around anyways. So there.
[Rory follows along so that he can mostly stop himself from being dragged.] Do you know how we got here? Cos I can't remember anything at all.
Maybe we were kidnapped. [Amelia sounds more excited than scared by this prospect.] Or maybe the Doctor finally came back for me. Or maybe he's in trouble and needs our help!
[They walk around a corner and then Amelia lets out a squeal - that she'll later deny - and points. There's a blue box standing not too far away from them and Amelia lets go of Rory's hand and runs towards it. Over her shoulder, she shouts.] See, I told you he'd come back for me.
[For a moment, Rory just stares, and then he runs after Amelia.] Why'd he bring us here for, though? Why didn't he just come to your house again?
Dunno. [Amelia shrugs and knocks on the TARDIS door.] Doctor! Doctor!

Jun. 22nd, 2011 08:34 pm[Rory's been doing a lot of hospital work, lately. He's getting a fair amount of sleep, because he doesn't want to make mistakes, but perhaps not a perfect amount of sleep. Which means he's been working long enough now, that the doctor he was working under has actually made him go take a break. So he's sitting on a park bench in an area of the City with a couple of trees near the hospital. His feet are up on the bench and he's sitting sideways, his back resting slightly against the bench arm. He clearly doesn't realise he has the video on on his device, because he's just looking down at it, flipping through Network entries for something to do.]
[ooc: Fully creepable, especially because he's tired enough that he won't even know how to cope with it right now. Don't be put off by the sad. He NEEDS a distraction.]

[ooc: So, he's a bit sad and guilty due to this, but even so! Fourth wall him with everything you've got! I'll make him forget spoilers if you come at him with them. Anything goes.]

Jun. 16th, 2011 08:05 pm[There are a lot of pointless, overhead sweeping shots of Amy, Rory and the Doctor walking through the beautiful fantasy landscape before the video finally fixes on filming the front of them as they walk. Rory has the face of a man trying very, very hard not to look smug, and failing. He has a quiver of flint arrows slung over one shoulder. Amy is behind him, pouting and looking sulky.]
Well. [The Doctor shoves some half-thrown-together thing into his pocket and looks a bit like someone who's forgotten why they decided to go somewhere.] That was easy.
It wasn't any fun though.
No, but..nobody died, and we didn't destroy their culture...and we didn't unleash an ancient evil by accident by pressing the big red button that says "Don't Press" and we got what we came for. [This has clearly been something festering in Rory for a while, because he's making frantic hand gestures by the end of it.] Asking WORKS.
Yeah, it works, and it's boring.
Rory's right! Everything went swimmingly and we might... not strictly speaking have anything to do now but when does a proper adventure start off with a checklist? [He's recovered from just a moment ago and throws an arm across Rory's shoulders.] And we've not broken anything or anyone or been stranded or I don't know, burned down a cathedral by accident when we were only trying to find some milk, or--
[He abruptly stops talking, having seen something, and bolts out of view, using Rory a bit as a springboard to do so. Rory catches himself from stumbling and looks at Amy who is frowning and looking after the Doctor.]
Where--?!
[At which point a unicorn stampedes past behind them, horn down, galloping after the Doctor. There is a moment of stunned silence, and then Amy runs after the unicorn, followed shortly by Rory.]
[ooc: Amy, Rory, Doctor.]
Well. [The Doctor shoves some half-thrown-together thing into his pocket and looks a bit like someone who's forgotten why they decided to go somewhere.] That was easy.
It wasn't any fun though.
No, but..nobody died, and we didn't destroy their culture...and we didn't unleash an ancient evil by accident by pressing the big red button that says "Don't Press" and we got what we came for.

Jun. 13th, 2011 08:45 pm[The video switches on with a thudding noise. Rory's device has slipped out of his pocket because of the angle he's crouched at. He's in a tree, apparently, as needles of the conifer he's in are visible around the edges of the device. In the camera's view is a peaceful-looking panorama, with various feathery dinosaurs in their nesting ground. The illusion of peace is shattered abruptly as a jaw snaps near the camera, and Rory makes a quiet sort of 'aaaaaa' noise from above. The beady-eyed, feathery face of an angry Utahraptor bobs in and out of view. Beyond it, it's soon evident that the Doctor and Amy are trying their best to sneak about the nests.]
PLEASE hurry up! [Rory yells this, sounding a bit desperate.
Amy, barely visible at the edge of the video, turns and shouts back.] This one's all regular eggs.
[She darts away from the nest and towards the next one. The Doctor's coat appears in the corner and then disappears as he runs to another nest.]
This one too!
[At this point the yelling from Amy and the Doctor is starting to draw the attention of the raptors and they're starting to turn about.]
No! Hey! Over here! Look...up....here...
[Rory starts throwing pinecones at the raptors which utterly fails to draw their attention at all.]
Oh....god...
[The second bit is only heard because of how close he is to the camera, and is apparently because he's edged down the tree to try and prod one of them with a branch to no effect.
And then he just kicks it in the head and climbs up like a maniac, although not fast enough to avoid the raptor biting into and confusedly tearing off half a leg of his jeans. Which, at the very least, is a weird enough noise to draw back the attention of most of the other ones.]
I got one! [A triumphant shout from Amy. The little red blop at the edge of the video representing her bops down as she picks up the egg and then turns... and sees the oncoming raptors, the ones not sufficiently distracted by Rory kicking one of them in the head.]
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
[And she's off running towards a certain blue box standing innocently in between the nests. The Doctor shows up in better view, attempting to get to Amy so he can check the egg. This is interrupted when he follows her gaze to the raptors, at which point he takes off following her back to the box.]
Come on, Rory!
[There is a pause, filled only with the snarling and snapping of dinosaurs. And then it's interrupted by Rory yelling, almost a wail.]
HOW!?
[And then a dinosaur EATS the device.]
