year 001 [video]

[lifeinplastic]

Uh. Hello. Since everyone's sort of introducing themselves and we're all stuck here, I thought I should probably... also do that.

I'm Rory Williams, I'm from Earth and I'm a nurse. Was a nurse. [ Technically never was one, also I'm a security guard on the lookout for threats these days more than anything. Ha. No. Way too much to get into. ] I mean, it's a little complicated. But I'm definitely still qualified and I'm always awake, so. If anybody needed a nurse for... some reason. I'll be around.

[ Annnnnd so tempted to ask, so tempted. Ever that should I/shouldn't I dilemma, only it's not a very big one, he's asking anyway. ] Sorry, really need to clarify something. The universe isn't ending right now, right? You can't exactly fly a ship through something that doesn't exist, so I've kind of been assuming it's all clear. Just for the record. Um. Thank you.

I don't think anything is ending. I'm not an expert--but we're here, aren't we?

[Annie that significantly more hesitantly than a not-crazy person. But whatever! She smiles fragilely at the camera.]

What kind of nurse are you?

[She--has needs.]

[lifeinplastic]

I've been taking that as a good sign, yeah. We're definitely here. [ All neatly sucked into intergalactic travels. He flashes a brief smile of his own. ] Ahh, I'm just the regular sort of nurse, I guess? Medical and all- helping patients get cleaned up, giving out medications, taking care of people.

[righteoushog]

You're always awake? Sounds like a seriously busy schedule.

—Oh, and, uh, I'm pretty sure the universe is holding out okay.

[lifeinplastic]

It gets that way sometimes. I've had a lot of spare time for hobbies, though. [ He's really liking everyone's odds of not being at the center of a disastrous universal implosion. ]

[righteoushog]

Yeah? You take up knitting yet?

1/2 only for you baby

['nurse'

'nurse'

'nurse'



nope]

[Okay to be fair, a few days ago he was knifing monster nurses left and right--the word isn't exactly bringing up much else for him at the moment. He rubs a hand over his face because if that is the first thing he thinks about, he really needs to re-evaluate his life.

LIKE HE HASN'T ALREADY.

Oh is this recording.]

... The universe is ending? Looks pretty alright to me so far.

[Please don't be one of those guys who think the world'll end in 2012 or something.]

those pictures were never meant to surface :'|

[lifeinplastic]

[ u ok ]

Well, it was. Where I was coming in from, I guess. Not so much... out here. Things got really confusing.

[ Oh Rory, bb. She really did miss you, even if you ask the most ridiculous questions. ]

I could have told you the universe wasn't ending, numpty. Even though I might have asked myself that question. [ an awkward pause. how do you even word this? 'oh, by the way...' ] Because, erm. There's another me. On this ship.

[lifeinplastic]

Thought it might be worth asking, just- [ You never know, you really never do.

Amy are you saying what he thinks you are saying. ] ...really?

locked;

[sharp]

Really really. Same face and name and everything. Oh, there's also someone else with our face but not named Amy Pond. That makes three but only two Amy Ponds. Does any of this make sense?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

"Always awake"?

[voice]

[lifeinplastic]

...yes? [ is he in trouble. ] It's a really long story, but, yes.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Is that hyperbole, or can you actually not sleep?

[the_vishual]

The ending of the universe is not a theory that's been brought up, sir.

[lifeinplastic]

[ OH NO A KID HEARD THAT

but, plus side, not sounding freaked out. ] It's not? That might be a good thing. I mean- it's probably not ending anyway, it doesn't look like it is, I just wanted to ask.

have a late tag ;_; also this is video

[the_vishual]

Oh, it's probable, sir. At the very least it's not improbable.

[ Chase is still smiling slightly, though. ]

But no, since the first wave, no one has thought the apocalypse has been a cause to worry.

[jilt]

A nurse? Oh, the Watsons are going to adore you.

[lifeinplastic]

Oh, uh. That's nice. Or should I not assume that?

[jilt]

No, the Watsons are lovely men with a surprising amount of patience. If you're skilled in your profession, I'm sure you'll get along swimmingly.

[firstofficer]

Welcome aboard. I imagine your services will be- called upon more frequently than you would prefer.

video;

[lifeinplastic]

Thanks. For the welcome, I mean, the second part isn't really a thank-you sort of situation. You probably already knew that, though.

[firstofficer]

As I have been present aboard the Tranquility for approximately eight months, ten days, seven hours, and thirty two minutes, your assessment is most accurate.

To answer your earlier inquiry however, no. To the best of our understanding, this individual universe within this space-time continuum, is not presently ending. Earth however, has ceased to exist 938 years ago.

[ and amy can barely contain herself right now. she wants to jump up and down like a kid on christmas, except she's not going to, she's going to mock glare and kind of ignore everything you said rory. ]

About time you showed up.

( video )

[lifeinplastic]

Amy. Or, uh, wait, which number is yours? [ Oh goodness it's really her. Other Amy. Or first Amy or something like that, she's been here longer. Space is confusing.

It's still really great to see her safe and healthy, though. He just has to memorize her number so he knows his Amys' numbers just in case. ] Sorry I'm late either way. Would've been here sooner if I knew.
