[The image on the screen is of a scruffy looking man wearing a baggy black frock jacket, scraggly tie, and plaid pants. He looks like he’s nearing middle age, but his blue eyes have a mischievous, youthful glint. He runs a hand through his mop of dark hair and breathes deep through his nose, before making a face.]

Oh dear me. Of all the places they could have me land in. [Pulls at his jacket lapels] The gutter! Oh well, it could be worse I suppose. They could have me land in the middle of a molten river for all they care! Or the local sewer.[Looks up at the sky] Hm, now, what have we here? Oh, it would be helpful if I had someone to talk with. Like Jamie or Zoe. I wonder how Victoria turned out. [Begins walking down the alley and emerges onto a sunlit street] Oh splendid! I must be in America, perhaps even Los Angeles…I think. [Looks around] This can’t be right. Where is…where is everyone? Some place like this would be full of life at this time of day. [Checks his watch] Perhaps it’s Sunday. Very well. [Claps his hands] I haven’t been to a church service in ages. Or perhaps the local pub. I could at least get some idea there about this place. Hmm.

Does he now? Well, you'll forgive me if I'm somewhat reluctant to believe a ghost I've never met.

He does, yeah. It's alright though. I can understand.

He's probably not really real anyway.

[She looks down sadly at her tea.]

Yes. Still, I don't think there are such things as ghosts, or curses.

Didn't think you would. It's the sort of thing you've gotta wait and see to experience.

And you've been here eight months you say? I wonder what else you've experienced.

All sorts of things. I had a dragon for a couple of days. Had some old memories broadcasted all over the network for others to see.

Oh really? How fascinating. I wonder if they're on the local internet.

Nah I don't think it records that long. I mean it's a curse. It probably gets erased afterwards. [Or so she hopes.]

Oh that's a shame. Still, it would be worth a try to look. You said there was an internet café didn't you?

Yes I'm quite certain you did. It's better to be certain, isn't it?

Yes but still, Doctor you know. It's just a bit rubbish.

[Attempting to change the topic on purpose.]

Still enjoying the tea?

Oh very much so yes.

[Takes a big gulp]

I'm hoping they serve the same in that internet café. Perhaps we could compare the tea served in this City, and see which is better.

Good.

[She flashes him a grin.]

Only one way to find out then.

Oh? How splendid! For a moment I thought you were purposely trying to divert me from that course of action, Rose.

[Downs the rest of his tea]

To the internet café, then? What was its name again?

Well, um, now Doctor. It doesn't mean we have to go right away, yeah?

It's called...

[There's a pause from Rose as she tries to think but really she is stalling.]

Wouldn't you rather explore more of the City? Do you have a sonic?

Did your friend tell you that as well?

[Pulls out a silver tube, looks like a pen light]

I do, as a matter of fact.

Maybe.

[She looks over at the object amazed and then laughs.]

Blimey. That's a bit not Spock-ish.

So what does it do besides function as a torch?

Oh, very funny. You'd be surprised. Perhaps I'll show you as we find this internet café. I'm very curious to see if this city lives up to what you've been saying.

[Begins to get up]

Come along, Rose.

It does just give it a couple of days.

[She grins.]

Now that is funny.

What is?

[Looks confused]

Oh nothing. Nothing at all.

[She slowly gets up and ponders showing him the underground.]

You know, I do hope for your sake that you are seeing something there.

[Gives a mischievous smile]

Now then, what was the name again? Cybernetic? I know it had the word "cyber" in it.

Oh I am. [Looks at Ghost!Ten]

What do you think?

Not really important he says. At least in a name, Doctor.

[Rose attempts to reach for his sonic.]

[Snatches the sonic away and pockets it]

Ah. Now, now. This is not a toy, you know. It's a very delicate bit of equipment.

Oh I know.

[Rose frowns.]

Now then. Shall we?

[Clasps his hands]
