[The video feed clicks on to reveal a frantic-looking Doctor, sonic screwdriver in hand. He's got a short message for you today, one that's very important nonetheless.]

Stay away from the angels! I know they're not doing anything now, but they're dangerous. Incredibly dangerous.

And whatever you do, don't blink! Don't even blink.

W-what?! [ And now she's all fussy and wide-eyed and look what you did sir you scared her :< ]

Whaddya mean 'don't blink'?

[spacehipster]

[No Kaylee bb don't be afraid. Too bad the Doctor's probably just going to make it worse.]

I mean don't look away from the Angels! One blink and they can get you.

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ Congrats, it's now been made worse. ]

J-just one? But they're stone! Stone don't move.

[spacehipster]

[He'll make it up to you with hugs and kittens and candy later, okay.]

They're stone now, but once they stop being observed, they revert to their original form. And that form is fast, clever, and deadly.

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ Okay :< ]

... deadly?! What if I went back to my place real quick ... they gonna follow?

[spacehipster]

They don't seem to be moving at the moment, so you'll be safe. [Should be safe. Hopefully. But he doesn't say that part out loud.]

[lilgreasemonkey]

S-shiny. Uh ... who are ya? An' how come ya recognize 'em? [ And don't look that side of mauled and dead by stone. ]

[spacehipster]

You can call me Matt! I've dealt with the Weeping Angels before coming to Aliunde. Pleased to meet you! If under slightly unfortunate circumstances.

[lilgreasemonkey]

I'm Kaylee, an' the same to ya Matt. [ This is one of the worst meetings. Deadly stone things. Impossible tasks. Don't blink?! ] Well ya look all nice an' alive so ... it'll be fine. There's plans bein' made. Yea?

[spacehipster]

As a matter of fact, a friend of mine and I are working on one such plan right now. Everything'll be perfectly fine. [Good thing Kaylee doesn't know the number one rule: the Doctor lies.]

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ She really wants to believe him. Really. But a teeny part of her brain is saying that plan might be similar to Mal's plans. As in they don't work out as planned. ] S-shiny. 's good you're already workin' on a plan 'fore they start movin' 'round.

[spacehipster]

[She's on to him, damn.] Always good to be a few steps ahead! That way you can make backup plans when the original ones fail.

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ Well that confirms it. No :< ] Ya do got those right? Backup plans? Or ... will?

[spacehipster]

Definitely have backup plans. [Watch him backtrack as he realizes what he just said.] Not that I expect our original plan to fail, of course.

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ OH NO. D8 ] O-of course. Everythin'll be just shiny.

[spacehipster]

If you need any help, just call me, alright?
