[Forgive Rory, this is going to be a little bit Blair Witch. The camera's right up to his face for a bit--wow, screen full of nose--and then he fixes it, pulls it a bit away. He's breathing heavily, and trying to keep an eye on the camera and off beside him at the same time, and when he speaks, he's trying to keep his voice low.]

What the fuck is a minotaur...?

[Said quietly, because this is answered when Rory is still hiding around corners.]

It's a thing from Greek mythology. Huge man with the head and tail of a bull that wants to eat me.

[lucky for you, Rory, he'll answer with text just so you don't get eaten by said huge man]

How huge?

[waitsforever]

I'd say about 1.5 times the size of a large human man.

[It's a good thing Amy's got quite some practice running, 'cause she just ran from the TARDIS to Rory's current position, and she expects there to be quite some more running in the near future.

For now, though, she sees the minotaur and.. oh. It's a little bigger than she expected, admittedly. Never one to let such a thing slow her down, she pauses just long enough to shout at the minotaur.]

Hey ugly. Leave my husband alone. [Not her wittiest words, she'll admit.]

action.

[At this point, two sounds have become fairly regular ones for Rory: the loud banging sound of the minotaur charging into the door, and the goblin trying to scrabblescratch its way back in through the window. So when the banging stops, Rory tenses immediately, straining for sounds, and therefore literally stumbles backward a few paces when he hears Amy outside.

Oh god. Oh no, Amy came, well, of course she came, she does that, she never listens to him and she said she was going to but...no. NO.]

AMY!

[And then he wishes he hadn't yelled that, what if it's going to distract her just long enough for the minotaur to get at her? Nothing for it, he HAS to get out there. So he starts pulling down the barricade he constructed. He's not entirely certain what he can do when he gets out there (just please please let it be in time) but he can't stay on one side of the door with a minotaur and Amy on the other.]

[Nathan's been briefly distracted on his way over (what kind of idiot leaves perfectly good sweets lying all over the floor?), but at least he's here now. Since he's unwilling to part with the metal piping he's nicked from who knows where, he doesn't have much choice but to toss some of the sweets from his pocket at the minotaur's head to distract him from Amy.]

Hey! Cunt with the horns. Didn't anyone ever tell your mum it's kind of gross to sleep with a cow?

action.

[waitedforyears]

[Amy's pretty much running again, because the minotaur figured she'd be more interesting bait than Rory. Which was the point, of course. She has to admit that Nathan's insults are rather more creative than what she came up with. And he's got a pipe. That should be useful.]
