If.... [Sigh. Rory is unhappy and trying to make himself say something.] If you're here because you have nowhere else to go...I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't-- I should have known better. I promise, I'll try and help you with anything you need.


[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.]

Rory, Rory, don't be so grumpy, the Doctor is here! I mean. Our Doctor!

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

I'm not--

The Doctor's here? We didn't-- I mean, how? Where?

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Fountain! C'mon, hurry!

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

I am!

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Good! I'll see you at the Fountain!

[nothingfalse.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's so kind of you!

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

It's...it's just common decency, really. I think. Do you need help?

[nothingfalse.livejournal.com]

No, not yet, but if that changes you'll be the very first I turn to.

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[A pause. Because "thank you" isn't right, and neither is "I'm sorry".]

I'm Rory Williams. If you need to find me later or...something.

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

If I recall correctly, that's not exactly how things happen here.

HIIIIII

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

Maybe...not usually but... [It is so hard to say this but he feels like it is his duty to explain. Not spare himself.] We were all recruited to help destroy at least one other city. I was...I was suspicious about what we were doing, but I went along with it anyway and... There are all these people, now.

You used to live here?

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear, I can see where that might get confusing. I used to live here, awhile ago if the date on this device is accurate, and these days happen. People brought from all corners of the universe, temporarily.

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

...I'm not sure whether knowing that is better or worse. [A pause, and then carefully.] Thank you for telling me.

Maybe have someone else from Rory's childhood

[take-yourbreath.livejournal.com]

[She looks a little scared, very defensive]

What'd you have to do with bringin' us here?

.......oh man.

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[Is...that....oh wow. OH. Wow.]

I...might have contributed if you've lost your world. I...have been told this happens fairly regularly, though, and it could just be for a day.

:) Glad I made a good choice

[take-yourbreath.livejournal.com]

Far as I know, my world's just fine but where's here, Sugar?

:Dd

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

Right. Well. [Breathing. Trying not to look weird. OK.] This is the City, it's just a City, called the City, and people show up in it. It's sort of a...smaller universe attached to all the bigger universes. Does that make sense?

[jeilovesyou.livejournal.com]

[You get THIS directed at you:]

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[....Rory is not sure what to do with that. So he just kinda of. Waves. Slightly.]

[jeilovesyou.livejournal.com]

[A squeak! And an enthusiastic, hyper-speed wave back!]

Hi!

[And then, after a moment,]

You look so sad! Don't be sad. I don't know what you're talking about, but whatever it is, I'm sure it wasn't your fault!

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[Slight laugh.] Thanks. That's nice of you.

[stilluphere.livejournal.com]

Well I'm certainly stuck here with no where else to go. What kind of help exactly are you offering?

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

Uhhm...well, I can't help you get HOME, but I can help with anything else..?

[stilluphere.livejournal.com]

Do all of you lot look like this here?

[Valentine makes a strange sort of floppy-sleeve all-encompassing gesture at Rory's face.]

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[Rory puts a hand to his face in a sort of automatic 'is there something on my face...?' gesture, but he's a fairly clever guy. And it is difficult not to notice what the other man's face looks like.]

Do you mean...not [his hands vaguely gesturing at his face] all...stuff on your face? My face? Our faces?
