[There’s a teenager!

He’s wet, in something of a ‘I’m going to ignore how much of a drowned rat I appear’ way. One might assume that he fell into the fountain at some point, but equally, the all-encompassing wetness may have something to do with the fact that he was just in England, aka the land of copious amounts of tea-and-rain. His expression, for the record, reflects his irritation at being displaced without warning, frustration from trying to get whatever this might be to work (he's not entirely convinced it is), and curiosity. You know, at the whole ‘suddenly displaced, this isn’t London’ thing. It’s hard not to wonder about something like that.

When he finally speaks, he sounds Remarkably British, although his accent is rather indistinct for the most part – southern, one might assume, well-brought up, although there’s a slight hint of Welsh. No, he doesn’t do anything untoward with sheep. London doesn't have sheep.]


Normally, one only has to ask for my company to be granted with it. [This? This would be the unmistakable tone of `GRUMPINESS`.] I do try to make myself available for all, but it can’t be helped if someone misses out here and there. Kidnapping tends not to be the answer, though. If I said I was impressed, I’d sadly be lying, but if it makes you feel any better, you can pretend I’m of that opinion regardless. Likewise, I think you’ll find you’ve managed to overshoot ‘mysterious’.

[There’s a pause, and for a moment, there’s a flash of wry amusement in his expression, as if this entire scenario is utterly ridiculous to the point of absurdity.]I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?'” I hope you won’t mind if I happen to refuse any bottles labelled ‘drink me’, or any foods labelled ‘eat me’. I’m quite content with who I am and don’t envision any existential crises a la dear Alice.

I won't decline any explanations, though, even if they happen to come from hatters and caterpillars and assorted small mammals with a fondness for tea and an inability to correctly tell the time.

[There’s another pause, and after he glances away from the device and up at the sky, he shoves the device into a pocket – without, for the record, bothering to turn it off, so have fun with the sound of footsteps and the wonderful blackness of pockets until the device times out.]

Nothing wrong with that. [ Says mad, impossible Amelia Pond. ]

Not many people agree, you know.

They're wrong. [ Pause. ] And boring.

Says Miss Pond, who travels across time and space. I dare say anyone would be boring to you, unless they're ... fish vampires, was it?

From space. [ And she gets this really wide, happy grin. Maybe there's a little bouncing, too. Maybe. ] Those were exciting.

[ Pause. ]

Are you going to keep calling me Miss Pond?

[He raises his eyebrows at the question; it was only polite and he does have manners on occasion.]

Would you prefer it if I didn't?

Just Amy'll do. [ 'Miss' doesn't really fit her. ]

Gotcha.

So, Will. Found any pubs yet?

Alas, I found myself woefully waylaid.

Did you know that a vast majority of the citizens here are attractive females? I'm not going to want to return to London if I spend much longer here -- unless they're in possession of both remarkably high standards and moral calibre, at which point I admit I may be out of luck.

[...Some of it may be a lie.]

Ah. [ Pauuuuse. ] There's also some guys around. D'you need someone to point you in the right direction?

... Of a pub.

[Mildly:] Not many of them have spoken to me.

Would it look more or less pathetic, do you think? I suppose it hardly matters, I will be finding a hedge afterwards. Perhaps I ought to see if I can find both on my own.

If you happen to hear reports of a lost, bedraggled and sadly sober Welshman come the morning, I trust you'll send pity my way.

Would you prefer your pity quiet or all over the network?

video.

[identity profile] bitesvampires.livejournal.com 2011-06-07 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe it would be better all over the -- network; that way I'd be assured to know that someone has taken me into their heart.

[ Seeking attention? Amy is very amused. ] And just a minute ago, you said we didn't know one another at all.



(ooc; So... will he or will he not find a pub and sleep under a hedge? Because I would most definitely have Amy make that post. )

[identity profile] bitesvampires.livejournal.com 2011-06-07 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
We don't. It'll be scandalous.

(ooc: He ... won't, but he'll claim he did.)

[identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com 2011-06-07 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
Scandalous, hm?

[ooc; So. Post, y/n?)

video.

[identity profile] bitesvampires.livejournal.com 2011-06-07 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
Mildly so.

(ooc: Y! If you want c:)

[identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com 2011-06-07 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Only mildly? We'll have to try harder.

(ooc; Y! :D)

[identity profile] bitesvampires.livejournal.com 2011-06-07 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets a smile.] Work our way up to something absolutely terrible.

(ooc: :D)

video.

[identity profile] waitedforyears.livejournal.com 2011-06-07 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm looking forward to that. [ Big grin. ]

(ooc; I'll put it up later on once I'm not in class anymore >.>)
