[It’s one of those weird weekend’s Rose has noted and at least for today she is not cursed. Yesterday however was a different story. She’s walking through some foliage with a book in her hand not paying attention to her surroundings or the fact that her device has turned on accidentally.]

Maybe I should...

It’s like reading radio instructions with this one. Hardly a map at all.

[The book lowers from her face and she looks around at the grave stones. A curious expression covers her face.]

This is a new one.

Comments

[missrosetyler]

Blimey. Never? Are you sure? Reckon you couldn't have been that bad at that age.

[reallygreathair]

Welllll, the navigation systems on the TARDIS weren't ready when I borrowed her. I never bothered to try and fix it either.

[missrosetyler]

Why not?

[reallygreathair]

[Shrugs.]

Dunno really. Maybe I was having too much fun not knowing where I'd end up.

[missrosetyler]

That's the funnest part.

Suppose I can't blame you.

[reallygreathair]

So why are you complaining?

[missrosetyler]

I'm not complaining. I was just curious.

[Looks over at another gravestone.]

Wonder if I got one of these...

[reallygreathair]

We all do, somewhere, some-when.

[missrosetyler]

You really think so?

[Looks over at him.]

[reallygreathair]

Universal truth. It's inevitable for everyone.

[missrosetyler]

I suppose. Sort of sad though all that living and in the end you sort of just end up with just a marker.

[reallygreathair]

If that.

[Looks over and notices her look.]

Depressed yet?

[missrosetyler]

Are you?

[Turns her head to look at him.]

M'sorry.

[reallygreathair]

That's why I never liked graveyards. They're just soooo...

[Realizes he's about to say "dead."]

[missrosetyler]

Quiet yeah? Almost too quiet.

[reallygreathair]

Quiet. Yes! That's it, quiet. If I anted quiet, I'd go to a library.

[missrosetyler]

And who can really stand a library?

Well besides you.

[reallygreathair]

I like libraries. I actually visited the largest library in the universe. Takes up an entire planet. Fought the Vashta Nerada there, came across some archaeologists...

[Pauses as he remembers how that adventure ended.]

[missrosetyler]

A whole planet? That's must be amazin'. Never heard of Vashta Nerada. What are they?

Archaeologists?

[Looks over at him curiously.]

[reallygreathair]

Yeah, they were...long story. The Vashta Nerada, yeah, nasty things. Literally eat you alive before you even know it.

[Avoids looking at her.]

The archaeologists were there to catalog. There was Miss Evangelista, Strackman Lux, Proper Dave, Other Dave, River, Anita...

[missrosetyler]

That doesn't sound pleasant.

[Crosses her arms against her chest and notices him avoiding her gaze.]

Proper Dave, Other Dave...? River...

[Obviously she doesn't like that name.]

So that's where you met her then?

[reallygreathair]

Yeah. That's where. And it bothered me. Still does...

[Has an idea.]

Let me ask you something, Rose, maybe you can help. I mean, you're a woman, right? I mean, obviously you are...

[missrosetyler]

Yeah, what about it?

[Looks a little puzzled.]

Go on...

[reallygreathair]

[Talking fast.]

Suppose you meet a bloke who knows a lot about you. He's from your future, and he tells you all these things you've done together, or will do together, and then you give him your sonic. You give it to them willingly. They say they didn't pry it from your cold dead hand, I don't know, but you figure out why you do it. You follow?

[missrosetyler]

Yeah.

[Taking it all in slowly but keeps up.]

Go on...
