6th. Audio

[seconddoctor_cia]

[The (Second) Doctor has gotten into the Hall of the Missing. He’s a little unnerved because something about it doesn’t feel right.]

What the Dickens is this place—a museum or a mausoleum?

Or both.

[Forgive the fact you aren't alone Doctor, someone felt the need to reconnect with a particular someone after the events of the weekend.]

A remembrance of those who've returned from whence they came as death is not true in this City.

Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Jumps, startled at the newcomer.]

Oh, hello. How do you do? I'm sorry, I didn't think anyone else was here.

[valentineluke]

My first assumption was 'portrait studio?'.

[seconddoctor_cia]

Oh? Well, I see how someone would make that assumption

[valentineluke]

It's useful in keeping track of the comings and goings.

[reallygreathair]

Welllll what does it look like?

Re: Audio;

[seconddoctor_cia]

Oh it's you. Well, with all the portraits it looks like a museum, however it feels like the other thing.

[seconddoctor_cia]

Is it? It almost feels a bit morbid, if you ask me.

Re: Audio;

[reallygreathair]

Yes, me. Hello again! Never did like the other thing. Too quiet for my tastes. So portraits, pictures...Wait, hang on. Do these portraits talk?

[brobeforehos]

Judging from the sound of it, it's a large hall?

[valentineluke]

Somewhat similar to visiting a graveyard, but different in that not all are dead. Some are very much alive back in their homeworlds.

Re: audio;

[seconddoctor_cia]

Well, yes actually. With a great many portraits.

[seconddoctor_cia]

Oh I see. Well that's a good thing. But you said "not all are dead." The ones that are, did they die here?

Re: Audio;

[seconddoctor_cia]

No, of course they don't talk.

Action

[indecent_butterfly]

[Ne gets that a lot, but this time ne won't laugh at you Doctor. You should always watch the shadows however.]

Greetings. [There's a low bow from the jester but ne doesn't really answer his question.]

At times The Hall gets many visitors. Looking for someone in particular or did you just stumble in?

[valentineluke]

True death is a rarity here. Most died elsewhere, outside.

[brobeforehos]

Oh - I know that one. The Hall of the Missing. The portraits are of people who were here but aren't anymore.

What is your current location? The acoustics suggest a large, but enclosed space.

Re: Audio;

[reallygreathair]

Welllll that's rather dull isn't it?

Re: Action

[seconddoctor_cia]

Stumbled in, really. And yourself?

[seconddoctor_cia]

I see. So I take it many people stay away from here?

Re: Audio;

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Mutters.}

Much like some other people I know.

Re: audio;

[seconddoctor_cia]

So definitely not a mausoleum. That's good I suppose, even though it feels like it.

Re: text;

[seconddoctor_cia]

Oh. Ah, it appears to be some kind of hall lined with portraits. I say, you must have a very acute sense of hearing if you can make tell simply by the acoustics where I am.

[logistical]

Yes, my hearing is excellent. You are in the Hall of the Missing.
