What have you gotten us into this time, Pond?

[he looks around himself] Amy? Rory? [he sighs. this is typical] Not to worry, I'm sure you're both around here somewhere. Now it's just a matter of finding out what here might be.

[he inhales deeply] Fishy. Definitely fishy. And not entirely earth fishy either. That is probably going to be

[dreamshaped]

All right, all right, I'm here. Quit your shouting. [She stumbles out of an alley very close by, rubbing her ear playfully for emphasis.] So what have you gone and done now? And what's that smell? Or don't I want to know?

[dreamrecalled]

[he looks up from a rubbish bin, smiling at Amy and comes over and grasps her by the shoulder]

Shouting? Who was shouting? I didn't hear anyone shouting, because believe me Pond, when I'm shouting you'll know I'm shouting.

[he lets her go and spins on his heels, taking the place in]

As for the smell, I would say it's something fish-like. Definitely fish-like.

[he claps his hands together, smiling at Amy] Nothing to worry about I'm sure. Fish, Britain, the two go nearly hand in hand. So see, nothing worth worries.

[he takes in a sharp breath] Especially seeing as we have far more worrying things to worry ourselves over, haven't we?

[dreamshaped]

[Amy blinks before stepping more out and checking her shoes just in case.] Yeah, definitely. So what are we doing here then? What's so important about some fishy smelling London?

[dreamrecalled]

Good question, Pond. Very good question in fact. And the answer is...

[a beat]

I don't know.

Come on then, off we go. I think it's time to do some investigating. You can be Watson, I can be Holmes. Lovely chap, Holmes, a bit eccentric though. And you know that's saying something coming from me.

[It's a troll! A troll in Malkuthian uniform! A very pleasant troll!] If you're looking for water, the docks are that way. [He points.] But it might be better if you don't go there. That is where the fish live.

[dreamrecalled]

Do they now? That's almost reassuring, I think.

I'm sorry, but is there any particular reason that you warn tourists about the fish?

[infinitearray]

They have been known to accept human sacrifices or to create monstrous immortal offspring with assorted humans. It seems a bit to handle for someone who has only just arrived.

[dreamrecalled]

That's not good at all. Not good at all.

Still, that narrows this down somewhat, so that's good.

It's a bit of a glass half full situation, isn't it? Well, a quarter full, perhaps? A tenth, maybe? Either way, there's something in that glass still and that is something!

And suddenly I'm thirsty. I knew I should have drank something before I left. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find something around here somewhere.

[dissedthesonic]

What? [hears that and tries to head over to the Doctor, but then he steps in a rather dirty bucket, the contents of which he really doesn't want to find out]

Hold on, "Mister Pond"? [finally extracts his foot and makes a face at the squishy feeling in his shoe]

[dreamrecalled]

Careful, careful! Try to keep away from the fish.

Sorry, what was that? Oh right, yes. Mr. Williams-Pond, is it?

[dissedthesonic]

Fish?

[just shakes his head, raising his hands up in a vain attempt to stop that train of thought] Never mind about that; we're still discussing it.

Where have you gotten us to this time?

[dreamrecalled]

By which you mean Amy has decided and you're desperately hoping she might change her mind. Either way, none of my business.

And I have gotten us to...somewhere in Victorian London. Beyond that, I haven't a clue. I love it when that happens. It never happens.

It's very exciting, we could stumble onto anything!
