[ — and then two figures fall through the portal that leads from the desert city to the glass citye, disoriented for a moment before catching themselves.

Except. ] Rory!?

[ Cue Amy looking around frantically. ] Rory— Rory didn't make it? [ Turning. ] We have to go back.


[ ooc; Yeah. Rory's gone home ;; ]

Comments

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, all right. [ Nodding. She's not panicking, she's fine, see. ]

[wearafeznow]

[ He has no idea what they can do. He turns on his heel. ] Right, we'll go to the visitor center, see what people have been saying about this glass place.

[waitedforyears]

[ Turning with him, though not without throwing another long look back to the gate and the robots manning it. ]

Yeah. Let's go, then.

[wearafeznow]

[ He leads her away, because maybe if she's not standing in the same spot it will be easier to make her see that they've got a problem. He doesn't think Rory's still here. ]

[waitedforyears]

[ She follows him. Even now, that's what she does, always. Be there right beside him for any adventure.

Except this isn't an adventure so much anymore. Amy's never minded the City so much, excitement plenty, but lately she's coming to understand why people refer to it as a prison. ]

[wearafeznow]

I'm sorry.

[ He doesn't let it sound like he's giving up, but he just wants to say it, wants her to know that he is, that he wishes he could do better. ]

[waitedforyears]

[ Sliding her hand in his, without a word. ]

[wearafeznow]

[ Squeezing it carefully between his own fingers. ]

[waitedforyears]

[ Just holding on. ]

[wearafeznow]

[ Weaving in and out of the people. He really wishes he had the TARDIS, it would take no time at all. ]

Do the curses usually last this long?

[waitedforyears]

No. Usually it's just twenty four hours, really.

[wearafeznow]

So this is new?

[waitedforyears]

Yeah. It's— sometimes weird stuff happens for longer than a day, but 's not usual.

[wearafeznow]

[ That's troubling. ] Strange.

[waitedforyears]

[ What's troubling is that Rory isn't here. Not thinking of that. Not thinking. Just, no. ] Yeah.

[wearafeznow]

We'll ask around, Pond.

[waitedforyears]

[ Squeezing his hand again. ] He might just— still be in the desert, right?
