[ The video feed clicks on, showing a room, a little dusty and not too large, rows of shelves filled with hats of all sorts along all walls. There's a desk in the middle, and it has Amy Pond pacing diagonally through it. ] Okay, yeah, but we gotta. Promote it somehow, right? Can't have a detective agency without clients, right?

Posters! [ There's a crash from somewhere off screen, before something is flung across the room. ] That's how they did it in the old days, massive posters. With slogans. We need a slogan, something cool.

[ The video doesn't pick up on Amy rolling her eyes, but it's obvious in her tone anyways. ] Posters, Doctor? Really? That's so— no. no. This is the 21st century, yeah? Or like it, at least. We should make a post on the network. [ Pausing just a moment. ] But we need a slogan, yeah. And a name.

What's wrong with posters? [ He sounds wounded, wandering into view, with his fingers curled around his braces, straightening himself up. ] I've always loved a good poster. Of -- what do people have posters of, anyways?

Posters are for teenage girls with crushes on movie stars or little girls who like ponies. Or boys who like cars or naked girls, I s'ppose. We're not gonna do a poster. [ All the frowning ]

[ Abandoning that in favour of tripping forward, crossing his arms over his chest and looking unimpressed. ] But I really wanted a poster. [ A sigh. ] Let's get on with this then.

Yeah, all right. [ Grinning now ] So. Hey City. You've heard, yeah? Detective agency, we need cases. We're— Pond and Smith? Smith and Pond? Detectives, anyhow.

And we are going to solve all your mysteries, big or small, weird and wonderful, strange and spooky. Just leave it to us, honestly, it's what we do.

[ — and the feed clicks off ]

[ Red is the eleventh Doctor, green is Amy and Pond and Smith is now open for business. Give them cases! Lost a fez? Searching for your pet pig? Want to know what your neighbour's cat gets up to at night? Or why there's a crack in your wall? Call them! ]

[ Howard watches all this with amusement. It's the best thing he's seen since he arrived. ]

The two'a you gonna solve mysterious crimes?

Mysterious crimes! Criminal mysteries! Other--- stuff. Everything. D'you have a case for us, mister?

Beautiful little thing like you, y'can call me Howard.

Well, Howard, I'm Amy and not a little thing.

Too feisty for that, huh? Pleasure to meet you.

If you promise not to be a condescending arse, I'll say it's nice to meet you, too.

Hey, hey, there's no need for that.

[ Muttering. ] The women here sure did move on from my day.

There's definitely a need for that.

Y'wouldn't happen to know a broad called Peggy, would you?

She's good with a sword? [ He's not sure he wants to see either of them with one. ] Is it a good sword?

Of course it's a good sword. Or it was. A pirate's sword.

Not sure I really wanna be on the opposite end'a one. You don't still got it, right?

I could get one, pretty sure.

Wouldn't want you to go to any trouble.

Thinking I should probably ask Cap if he's got his shield handy.

Oh, I like a man with a shield.

You guys'a really feeling it, ain't you?

The buzz of mysterious excitement?

The fact we ain't where we should be. Unless this's something you pair do there too?

Generally. We're mischief makers of the finest order.

Can believe that.

If you need anything found, explored, understood, just come along to us.
