It seems to me like the City right now has no end of dark times right about now. [ The curses, while some are amusing, don't exactly endear him. ] I know it's not fair, having your lives played about with like it's a ball of twine preyed upon by cats. But we're all in this together, and that's important. I would hope that people held fast to that thought.

If ever anyone needed to just talk, the hat shop is always open.

Very moving.

[wearafeznow]

[ A pause, and then a wide, wide grin. ] Oh hello, stranger.

[rudeandginger]

Hello?

[Why are you smiling at him? The only response to this is more scowling.]

If nothing else, a good hat might make them feel better about their days.

[waitedforyears]

What is it with you and hats, really?

[wearafeznow]

Always on the same page, you and me.

[leathered]

[ It's funny. Sometimes he gets along better with Eleven than Ten. ]

[brobeforehos]

Strength in unity.

[wearafeznow]

It's never done anyone any harm.

[brobeforehos]

All it mostly does it good.

AND I COULD NOT RESIST

[mrsnose]

There is a hat shop?

YAY

[wearafeznow]

[ Grinning. ] Yes, me and the lovely Amelia Pond take good care of it.

[mrsnose]

Who makes the hats?

[chasestail]

Yip?

(Is that what they're calling therapy clinics thesedays.)

[wearafeznow]

Um.

[ He can speak dog just fine. ] Of course we're not actual councilors, but a good hear is still fine.

[indecent_butterfly]

Does one not usually shop for hats in a hat shop?

[waitedforyears]

's more of a detective agency than a hat shop, really.

[indecent_butterfly]

So the talk would be to gather information. An interesting disguise.

[wearafeznow]

People don't seem to take to it as well as we thought they might.

[indecent_butterfly]

Very few do know how to properly attire themselves.

[waitedforyears]

They weren't all bad. [ A beat. ] Right?

[ There was the hugging. And she— well, she enjoyed the high school curse as well, though she feels a little guilty because she never even spared a thought for Rory. Of course, she didn't even know Rory.

And the Doctor had— and she'd been... in love with him. ]

[wearafeznow]

[ Oh look, he's fidgeting quite a bit now. ]

Not all of them, no.

[iwasherefirst]

Takin' up bein' a therapist now, Doctor?

[wearafeznow]

I think it might suit me.
