[When the video first clicks on, all that's visible is Will's face and the top of his shoulders. The feed shifts slightly, and from the angle it's being held at, it would be reasonable to assume he's led down, and even more reasonable -- from the slight squint and the admittedly somewhat dirty red bricks visible in one corner of the screen -- to think that he's outside and on a wall. After a moment, he appears satisfied that the device is, in fact, turned on, and places it somewhat clumsily behind his head, slightly further along the wall.]

I assume if this were normal, it would have been mentioned somewhere in between the rampaging wooden animals and the impromptu, temporary marriages ― perhaps just after cats, but before the clones. I shan't complain, though I feel as if I ought to be speaking of― [he pauses for a moment, waving a hand vaguely and briefly adopting something approaching a passable West Country accent]thic faraway lands, visited only by a daring, and arguably foolish, few on gurt maggoty ships.

[He sits up suddenly, and turns round to study his device; he looks cheerful, albeit slightly grubby and fairly nonplussed by the situation as a whole, although it soon fades into poorly concealed irritation.]

Perhaps Bristol's only up the road, or Teignmouth to the west and Torquay just below that. I suppose we shan't ever know; in a few hours more, we'll be somewhere and somewhen else entirely, taking part in a wholly ridiculous scavenger hunt. Why would it be as simple as playing along in what amounts to a bastardised children's game?

They should have a cart that goes around with cupcakes and chocolate and other nummy things to eat. The trip would be less cranky-making.

Journeys on the tube aren't supposed to last long enough for that to be required, and the main stations are located beneath the main London stations, which do have shops and restaurants.

I don't know if America's reached that point, though.

It could be a quick snack!

As far as I know, yes. I was in New York just before I got...jerked around to several different places but ending up here. They had shops and restaurants at the stations.

I prefer walking. There are always plenty of places to quickly refresh oneself.

I'm okay with the walking thing. You do a lot of it here. Buffy and cars are unmixy things so I don't really drive anyway.

[He's quite for a few moments; it's hard to get around the fact that there's quite a lot he doesn't know, terms that are evidently part and parcel of daily life for the cast majority of people, and he has absolutely no experience with them at all. He opts not to comment on it, though.]

You have a rather unique way of speaking, Buffy.

I've sorta been told. Thank you, I think. [He'll catch on. He's a bright enough boy. Poor thing. Talk about fish out of water.]
