[The Doctor is frowning at the screen, thoughtfully.]

Does anyone remember...dying? A illusion, clearly. But was it a mass -

[He stops, looking at something off screen.]

This place is pulling things from my mind. Giving it shape, like the gestalt. Must be.

[His voice is carefully steady, like he's willing what ever it is away.]

I think we may be in Niflheim. And if we are, if means we're dead.

The good news is that there may be a way back. Death...death is different here, for some reason.

But I think we'll need help from one of the natives, if we can find one.

[pteroda]

We're... dead? [oh. Oh no.]

[blonde_neophyte]

I'm sorry, it looks like. I may be mistaken, but only dead people end up here.

It should be possible to go back though. Somehow. I know people have done it in the past.

[pteroda]

-We should hurry, then! No time to waste, right?

[pteroda]

-Pulling things from your mind? What do you mean?

[it_was_the_best]

[He's backing away from whatever he's looking at, trying to sound casual.]

Oh, people I used to know. Dead people.

[pteroda]

...from your home world? [she sounds extremely surprised, but also a little bit tense as she waits for an answer.]

[it_was_the_best]

Some of them.

[Given that his entire home world is dead, this could be.....fun.]

Dead? We can't be de--[He frowns into the screen]--what makes you think that we died?

[The Doctor frowns back.]

No, no I don't think we are. But I remember a woman, with a sword. I don't remember the blow connecting but I did lose consciousness. Or the memory is suppressed somehow.

[antiakuma]

Woman with--? [ ... ] Ah! I know what you mean now! But...I don't know what it means. It's all so hazy and I just can't remember anything else past that either.

But I don't remember you being there when it happened. Do you remember me?

[it_was_the_best]

I don't remember speaking to you before, no. Hmm.

[redskyrising]

There's a possibility that the world ended and we all perished with it.

[it_was_the_best]

I suppose that's true. I'm still not convinced that anything in this city is physical reality,
