[missrosetyler]

Bit of repeat again but I suppose always nice to see new faces.

[Rose looks around the square to see all sorts of people walking by. No one she recognizes however. She looks back at her device.]

If you're getting this and don't know where you are, welcome to the City. If you need any assistance settling, just let me know. They've got some really great tea and scones shops around if you're into that sort of thing.

What about my hat shop?

[missrosetyler]

There's a hat shop a few--

Hold on you have a hat shop?

[verylast]

When I was last here, yes. Sometimes we served tea.

[missrosetyler]

Scones too?

I didn't know that.

[verylast]

Scones too.

How are you, Rose Tyler?

[intelligently]

What about a spa?

[missrosetyler]

Don't think I've seen one. But you never know. Maybe in the Underground.

[intelligently]

Looking around it is then. I don't suppose there's a tour guide?

[missrosetyler]

Not really. But I can help. Been down there enough times.

What's your name?

[intelligently]

It's a start.

I'm Lydia.

[sostylish]

Quite frankly, I'm more interested in whiskey and a nice piping hot cup of get me the fuck out of here.

[missrosetyler]

Whiskey? Never really cared for it myself.

I reckon you're gonna be here a while though. Maybe not as long as some others.

[sostylish]

I suppose anything will do.

A while? That's... both vague and unreassuring. Sorry.

[missrosetyler]

Could be a day or 2, maybe. This place can be a bit unpredictable.

[sostylish]

I suppose that's not the worst length of time. I think I should be able to reschedule everything.

[moving_forward]

Rose Tyler! What a surprise to see you here.

[ Sarah Jane is just beaming. A friendly face! In all this gigantic City, she's surprised to have met someone she knows.

Well, perhaps only a little surprised. That kind of thing happens strangely often. ]

[missrosetyler]

[Rose almost can't believe it. It's been way too long. She's all smiles at seeing her friend.]

Sarah Jane Smith! Hello! Took the words out of my mouth. Blimey it has been a while. How have you been?

[moving_forward]

Good. Good! Nothing too special, just your usual crop of alien invasions, aliens getting lost on the way to their vacation planet, and teenage angst. Not mine. [ She laughs. ] What about you?

[missrosetyler]

Teenage angst? Oh that's a new one. I miss the alien invasions.

Been sort of stuck here for a while. Was a bit busy skipping across dimensions before this place, now I've been sort of keeping busy trying to find a way out.

[moving_forward]

I thought I mentioned - I've adopted a son, Luke. He's -- [ She looks down at her watch. ] - Probably wondering why I've been so long at the grocer's. Oh, well, won't hurt for him to have takeout for a day or so until we've gotten this all settled.

[ She smiles when Rose mentions trying to get out. Of course she would be. The dimension-skipping is new. But it's all traveling in the end, right? ] How far have you got on the way out? I'll lend a hand.

[reallygreathair]

Hello Rose! How are...No! No, hang on. Did you say tea and scones?

[missrosetyler]

[She looks at him in disbelief. This place is really out to get her but nevertheless she remains calm.]

...Yeah. Tea and scones. They've got some really good ones at this one place close by.

[reallygreathair]

Oh, brilliant! Just brilliant! Is that where you're going? Please tell me that's where you're going. I could murder a plate of scones right now. How are you, anyway? What are you doing here?

[Pauses to think, then continues before she answers.]

Come to think of it, what is here? I mean, this place, here, what is it called? And you're rolling your eyes. Why are you rolling your eyes at me Rose Tyler?

[missrosetyler]

Café Juliet. It's not a bad place. Reckon you'd like it.

Oh you know me, just sort of wandering around until I landed here.

[She looks over at him knowing there is no way he can really be here. Another evil City trick.]

What sort of question is that? You should know that. You're in the City. It's a dimension nexus of sorts.

[reallygreathair]

Riiight. The City. Dimension nexus. Big words coming from you nowadays. Speaking of which, what's nowadays for you?
