[ The video clicks on, and it's obvious enough that Cat's not particularly happy about choosing to do so, but given the reason for one of her rare appearances on the network, she thought she might as well show her face. There's a bit of a pause before she finds it in herself to actually start talking as opposed to just looking a bit grumpy and reluctant, which is of course her standard approach to everything. Doesn't matter that Cat genuinely wants to get something out of this, she just hates having to ask for help. ]

All right, seeing as for once we're not being fucked around by red text or demons or brain-washing or fatal illnesses and shit, might as well make the most of it, yeah? [ She peers at the feed searchingly, pursing her lips. ] Bound to be a couple of you out there who can swim, I reckon. There's a pool here - I want to learn how. Not got much use for swimming back home, s'why I never learned, but I have a chance now, so it stands to reason I could give it a go.

Any of you lot think you can teach me?

[ She's very careful not to use the word "help", already feeling weird for how much she's talking when she usually kepts to the minimum amount of words required to make a sentence. With some amount of restraint she manages to stop herself from saying she wouldn't mind a couple of offers since some of you lot were bound to be terrible teachers.

Fair warning, Cat herself would be a pretty fucking terrible student. ]

If we want to be completely honest about it, there's not much use for swimming here, either.

Theres a pool here???????
Oh man thats killer i wasnt aware of that being here, yet i havent really gotten time to analyze this place in its fullest detail since ive arrived!

Swimming is something i would do *all the time* back home.... im sure i could help you out if you truly wanted to, miss.

May ask i why it is you are so eager to gain this skill?

[ ...he's missing an Amy Pond, but this is not she. You don't really believe the whole face-twin thing until you see proof, even when you've gotten a firsthand account from the lookalike herself, so. Well. Wow.

Rory sees no reason to not try to be helpful when he's done blinking and stammering for a few seconds. He's got time to kill all the time these days. ]

Uh- I could probably try, if you want, I mean I know how, just haven't had to practice in... in a while.

[dbahsdf. CAT.]

You're serious?

[He seems to be wondering that a lot around here.]

permavid.

[nill's face lights up. swimming? she didn't know how to do that, either, but it definitely sounded useful.]

[northerner]

You've already more volunteers than you know what to do with, I imagine.

[ He just barely doesn't smile. ]

That's ironic.

[jurisimpudent]

...Quite. You have a teacher?

[meddler]

[ So, first thing was first. He'd seen Amy at what they were calling the "jump", so why not on a comms device? ]

Am—

[ But this was very definitely not Amy. For one thing, he was quite sure Amy was fond of the swimming pool. For another...

...Well, there were a lot of things that tipped him off to the fact that this was very definitely not his best friend.

But, that really wasn't anything out of the ordinary. If this ship could pull people from different universes, there was always the chance of someone wandering around with the same face. Laws of genetic probability and all that. ]

Right then. Not Amy. [ introductions will come soon. ] Did you say you need a swimming instructor?

[ sup face twin, she's stalking your post and facepalming. a bit. ]

I see you've met Thing 1 and Thing 2. Sorry 'bout them.

[ though she has no idea why she's apologising, really. they're the ones doing the mix-up. ]

How's the swimming stuff going?
