[Who can resist a carnival especially at night? Certainly not the Doctor who appears on screen apparently eating what looks like cotton candy. He thinks it’s all brilliant as he walks by some rides, people screaming in fun with their hands up in the air. There’s nothing odd about this at all. There’s a curious part of him that wonders if with all this activity if Alonso is around.

He appears distracted stopping by a haunted house and peering at the entrance, which resembles a black and white hypnosis circle. It’s enough to make a normal person dizzy.]

Alonsooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

Right! The haunted house. Welllll, they aren't really haunted you know. Just the sites of rifts in space/time. What people consider ghosts are really just images from the past...or future.

{As he's saying this he's loosening his tie and rubbing the back of his neck.]

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

So then you're saying that in there I'm gonna get to see glimpses of the future and the past?

[She grins at the thought and glances at the haunted house before looking back at him. Now she's worried.]

Are you sure, you're okay? You look a little...nervous?

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

Nervous. Naaaaaaah. And...the only thing you're going to see in there is people in costume and really cheap props.

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

Already been inside then?

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

It's a carnival haunted house. They're all the same. People jumping out at you and yelling boob.

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

Well it's the City so I reckon it's got to be--

[She pauses and looks at him.]

Boob? Are you sure, you're okay?

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

Did I say...yeah. Wellll, you know some of the actors they hire to scare people will say that for kicks and giggles.

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

That's just a bit bizarre, yeah? I'm still gonna check it out though.

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

Okay. Lead on Miss Tyler.

[He follows her in, trying to keep his eyes fixed on the back of her head, and not drift downward.]

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

[She grabs his hand as they go inside oblivious to the fact that he's staring at the back of her head. She's too focused on the jack in the box popping up in the corner and the strobe lights that flicker as she leads them into a narrow hallway. There's eerie music playing in the background.

She turns her head back to look at him.]

Scared yet?

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

[Snaps his attention back to her eyes.]

Scared? Naaaaah. They should have used Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. This music is terrible.

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

Bach's Toccata? Don't think I've heard of that one.

[Because Rose and knowing music just doesn't mix. But she probably has heard it before.]

It's sort of scary. Don't knock it.

[She's so focused on talking with him that she doesn't notice the upside down clown that swings down to grab at her shoulders with an evil laugh. This causes Rose to shriek and jump up.]

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

[He goes to the clown.]

Hello there! Do you know Alonso? Silent mime type clown? No.

[The clown disappears upwards. He looks at Rose amused.]

That was nothing to be so scared of.

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

[Rose glares at the Doctor after recovering and the clown is out of sight.]

Let's see how you feel if someone grabbed you like that.

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

Oh you scream much louder than that.

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

And how would you know that?

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

Oh. Um....you remember that monster we ran into once?

[And for the life of him, he can't remember.]

The...ummmmmm...Hoix! Yeah. That one really sent you screaming.

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

You still remember that?

[She laughs remembering the confusion with the buckets.]

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

Oh yeah. Of course I do. Want me to go first?

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

Be my guest.

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

[The Doctor takes the lead.]

Remember they are all actors.

[He brushes aside a fake cobweb.]

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

[Rose follows closely.]

Actors. Right.

[Continues to follow his lead until a scantily clad female vampire comes out of the shadows hissing at them and making a grab for the Doctor with her very long nails.]

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

[Jumps back and defends Rose with his arm. However, his arm is across her chest.]

Oi! Watch those things. You could poke an eye out.

Re: [Action;]

[missrosetyler]

[The vampire retracts her hand back but still hisses at the pair showing her very sharp teeth.

Rose remains rooted in place noting his arm protectively across her chest but says nothing for now.]

Thought you said they were actors?

Re: [Action;]

[reallygreathair]

They are! Sorry. Reflexive. Must be an ancestral memory or something.

[He's still grabbing across her chest.]
