[ The video starts with a rather startling close up of Slender Man. Simply because the Doctor is a kind, kind soul and that's totally what you want to see when you tune in to the network. Of course, maybe his whole scary-wrong feel is kind of dented by the hilariously floppy sun hat on his head - big, bright yellow flower attached to the brim.

The Doctor takes a step back, swinging the device around to his grinning face. He is personally wearing a rather fetching police constable's hat, pen caught between his teeth. He takes it out of his mouth, hums, moves like he's rocking back on his heels. ]

This is a nice curse, isn't it? It's kind of the City to provide us with a pair of helping hands. And he likes it - [ Spinning the camera back around. ] Don't you Mr. Slendy?

[ Of course, he doesn't say anything. Just stares at the device. In his sun hat. ]

[She can't help it -- she laughs.]

The hat is a nice touch.

Why thank you. [ Grinning. ] Mr. Slendy thanks you too.

I have to ask -- did you help him pick his outfit, or did he help you pick yours?

[verylast]

This is what I usually wear. [ A long pause. ] Well, not the hat.

[ Beaming. ] And he's such a lovely help.

I noticed yours didn't seem to match. [Mr. Slendy's, however, matches perfectly. Ffft.]

How do you know this is a curse?

Well, a lot of people in the City seems to have found these fellows following them. If it happens to the majority of us, it tends to be a curse.

But they're so... [Silly.] Helpful.

Not all curses are bad. [ A quiet pause. ] Some of them tend to be kind. I think they're a reprieve.

[She hasn't been here long, but she's witnessed a few bad curses. From the tone of his voice, he's seen more than a few himself.]

I'm Nyota, by the way. [It feels strange, going by her first name again after so long, but this isn't Starfleet.] I didn't introduce myself earlier.

Hello Nyota, I'm the Doctor. It's nice to meet you.

[universaltranslator]

[confused] You can't be the only doctor here.

[verylast]

Oh, I'm not. But my name is the Doctor.

[universaltranslator]

[She figures this is just a quirk of translation.]

Well, it's nice to meet you, Doctor.

Likewise, Nyota.

I hope you enjoy your time in the City.
