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?

[nothingfalse.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's so kind of you!

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Fountain! C'mon, hurry!

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

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

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

I am!

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

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

[nothingfalse.livejournal.com]

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

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Good! I'll see you at the Fountain!

HIIIIII

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?

[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.

[nothingfalse.livejournal.com]

I'm Hope.

[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.

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[Well, he can find this slightly amusing at the very least.]

Good name.

[nothingfalse.livejournal.com]

It's a good virtue, too.

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

One of my favourites.

[nothingfalse.livejournal.com]

Is it really? Aren't you a sweetheart! I'm going to favor you, certainly.

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

...favour me?

[nothingfalse.livejournal.com]

I am hope. I'm afraid I'm not like Fortune, but I'm sure if I talk to her, she'll favor you too. Are you very bold, Rory?

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[...well Rory doesn't even know what to think about this. He doesn't know if he believes her, or what... So he just stares for a moment before laughing slightly nervously at her allusion to the saying.]

Um...not...well. When I have to be? Not usually?

[nothingfalse.livejournal.com]

I'll convince her.

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

[Polite, even if he still isn't sure he believes her.] Thank you. That's very nice of you.

[lady-wandering.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. And I apologize, this place does take quite a bit of getting used to. You're a recent arrival, I take it?

[waitsforever.livejournal.com]

Recent-ish. I've been here over a month, now.
