If wishes were horses, you'd all believe me when I said this was a 'hypothetical' scenario and I wouldn't need to post this anonymously.

From a young age, I was raised to be used in war. Knowingly or otherwise, I was trained to be the right sort of soldier; eager to fight, to support a just cause, and, if needs be, to die for that cause.

I did all of that and my war is over.

But now, I'm here, and at a loss for what to do with myself. I can fill my hours well enough, but that's all it is - passing the time.

I know that many of you are warriors in your homelands and I'd like to know how you've adapted to this place or to any time when you're not being used to fight.

Thank you.

So, uhm—

( by now rory's acquainted with the idea of using these things to talk to others, even talk to complete strangers, but using it to talk to everyone at once? he feels strangely self conscious. )

Hello… ( also, what is he supposed to say? the frown deepens. he should have planned this out better. maybe made a script. a beat and he hazards on. ) Okay, this is Rory… I mean, hello, my name is Rory; Rory Williams, and as it's starting to look like I really am going to be here for more than a day or two, which, might I add, is a bit weird, since usually it's about a day and a half on the outside depending on where the TARDIS has ended up… and, right, rambling. Sorry!

( he takes a breath! ) My name's Rory… I'm… from England, 2012 AD, I'm also a nurse if that's… ever going to turn up useful, sort of hope no, probably yes. But I am one. ( beat. should he say something else? what should he say? why does no one else find this as intensely awkward as he does??? he forges ahead, somehow managing not to repeat his name again and finishing strong with— )

It's nice to meet you? Oh, and if you need… anything, or something, right, okay, thanks. ( … now comes ten seconds of silence before he finds the off button. )
