Hello Tranquility!!

[ a communication device flicks on revealing... grain, and little else. At least to start out with. after some time, a man in a bow tie looking... more enthusiastic than he has any right to look shows up in the feed. ]

—Kept meaning to do this, but apparently, I was already here. Or more specifically, will be here. And let me just say, there’s nothing more annoying than being ░░░░

[ static... as the feed flicks out. and then flicks on again, with the doctor looking somewhat annoyed. ]

Never mind that. As I was saying, there's nothing more annoying than being upstaged by— ░░░░░

[ a screech, static, and then back again. ]

—UPSTAGED BY YOURSELF.

[ this time, as he hits the coms device, the feed seems to stay. ]

Now, where was I? [ pause ] Right. I really ought to have introduced myself more formally sooner, but I couldn't help but get distracted. You know how it goes. Abandoned spaceship kidnapping people from multiple dimensions, no answers in sight— ░░░░

[ now he might be a little angry. ]

Communications devices that don't work!!!!

[ pause ]

But that's not the point, now is it? No, what's far more concerning, is here we are, on a not-so-abandoned spaceship, and the fog's setting in.

[ another pause ]

The fog. How could I have not noticed the—

...Never mind that.

[ he swallows ]

No, what's important is that I'm the Doctor, and I promise I'm going to do whatever I can to get to the bottom of this. Get to the bottom of the fog, why we're all here, and whatever else is thrown this way, because let me tell you, I've been through... ░░░░░░░░░░?͚̬̯̤̰̘̩̳̘̱̹͇͔̝̙̟̀͘͝͡͞?҉̫͇̖̬̲͉̫͍̼̘̹̣͕͈̻͡͡?̀҉̹̘͔̜̕

[ and the static takes over as the feed goes dead ]

Very reassuring, sir.

[so dry.]

[ sometime later, once he found a "clear" patch again. ]

You're a man of little faith, Ianto Jones. Too little faith, if I do say so ?͚̬̯̤̰̘̩̳̘̱̹͇͔̝̙̟̀͘͝͡͞?҉̫͇̖̬̲͉̫͍̼̘̹̣͕͈̻͡͡?̀҉̹̘͔̜̕

[ drat. gone again ]

I'm a man of practicality, Doctor.

What were you saying about fog?

How did a man miss the fog?

[ ...odd how this seemed to work much better? ]

Assuming you mean me... a man, or rather a Doctor might have been busy trying to observe other sorts of phenomena.

You know how it is. Strange spaceship, unexplored areas. You're bound to get curious.

Edited 2012-09-27 05:31 (UTC)

[Maybe the send and receive time is just ridiculously long. :c]

A girl explored, too. She didn't miss the fog. A man has been on spaceships?

[ amy seems to be having trouble with her own communicator with a fuzzy connection and a grainy picture. she taps on the screen a few times, even shaking it. finally she gives up, sighing. ]

Never thought I'd say this, but I can't hear you, Doctor. Did you say something about the fog? Because ░░░░░ ░░ ░░░░░ ░░░ [ unfortunately the rest of all that is static on her end, as well. ]

Because? [ No.

No no nononono. Amy can't just cut out right now. Not when there's a mystery and he doesn't know if she's safe and... ]

Because of what?

Amy.

Amelia. Amelia Pond if you don't ?͚̬̯̤̰̘̩̳̘̱̹͇͔̝̙̟̀͘͝͡͞?҉̫͇̖̬̲͉̫͍̼̘̹̣͕͈̻͡͡?̀҉̹̘͔̜̕

The fog.

[ she has no idea if that got through since he's cutting in and out as much as she seems to be. ]

Doctor, this is ░░░░░ [ a violent shake of the screen. she's getting really irritated now. ] Where are you?

I think for right now people should try to stay in their rooms where possible, or cong - [His voice cuts off in static.]

Cong.

Conglomerate?

Conflate?

...Conga?

[ priorities , Doctor. Priorities. ]

[There's a couple minutes of static as Blake wrestles with his device, trying to get it to work properly. Mostly this involves smacking it, because he's not exactly a computer genius.]

Congregate in the common areas. Kitchens, or rec rooms. For the people who aren't in their - [And more static.]

[She holds onto her communicator tightly, parted lips and wide eyes staring down while she tries to hear the damaged message a little more clearly. Edyne is caught somewhere between feeling excited and worried and confused - that's Tristan's face and voice and he's been here all along and she can't figure out where he is or whether he's safe--]

Tristan! Oh, Tristan, I hope you can hear me. Are you all right?

[ Just give him a moment to try and listen, as the feed flicks on and off...

And on. What did she just call him? ]

Tristan?

[There is no fog around her, nothing interfering with the communicator, save for the malfunctions from the Doctor's end. She understands there's a question, but the blinking on and off just leads her to believe there are other words she missed.]

It's me - [She has to pause for a moment, remember to use the alias instead of her given name,] Eden. Please, tell me where you are - I really must see you.

[ He's not sure exactly where to get a word in edgeways until the static takes over once again and leaves an opening. ]

A doctor, huh? Could probably use more of 'em around here. It's a pleasure, sir, I'm Steve.

The Doctor, actually.

:33 < a doctor AND a detective?
:33 < well arent you a man of action, h33h33!

[ another good thing about text: her laughter can't waver in uneasiness ]

:33 < i hope you do find out whats going on
:33 < then maybe we can purrvent it from escalating further

Well not quite a man of action. When I was younger... older, I used to be... more actiony. Knew Venusian Akido, even. I might still know it. But you know how it is. New bodies...

Or maybe you don't.

...Are you stuck in the fog right now, Nepeta?
