Really, City? All I wanted was a hug from my best friend, is that too much to ask?

[ It's more than a little bit alarming, not actually being able to touch someone he quite regularly does. Eleven's perched on the edge of her sofa, his arms crossed, watching her for a moment. ]

I'm sure it will wear off, Amelia.

[waitedforyears]

[ She has her arms crossed as well and her frown is verging on a pout. ]

Curses. How did I ever think they were exciting?

[wearafeznow]

[ With a sympathetic crinkle of his nose. ] It'll be other tomorrow.

Crepe sure is pissed about the fact she can't get close to anyone.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, it's awful. And she can't even understand that it's a curse, can she.

[yourbestguysgun]

Nope. [ He sounds annoyed for a moment. ] She just keeps barking at Steve.

Keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times.

[waitedforyears]

Not much choice, do I?

[ironmanic]

There's gotta be an upside to this somewhere.

Hugs are nice. Maybe you can get all the hugs when this is over. I've seen people bumping into nothing all day! It's very entertaining.

How do you talk to the City like that? Does it talk back? I've heard the library sings to people so it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to hear a City talking back to you when you ask it a question.

[waitedforyears]

It hasn't talked back yet. 's more an annoyance thing, really. Venting, y'know.

[generated_anomaly]

Oh, I understand. It's like talking to nothing but calling nothing the City. I've heard Rose, Donna and my dads™ talking to themselves before too, which isn't exactly nothing, but the same concept, I think.

'Parently so. [Someone sounds sulky]

[waitedforyears]

's awful. [ Equally sulky. ]

[iwasherefirst]

'M puttin' both mine on a timer for midnight.

[iwatchtjhooker]

I'm sorry, Amy. Maybe when this is all over... you can get double.

[waitedforyears]

You offering? [ Taking refuge in flirting is a particularly well-honed skill of hers. ]

[iwatchtjhooker]

[Sam smiles, but it's too soon after Jess' disappearance for it to reach his eyes.]

You know it. And I don't offer lightly.

[signatures]

Absolutely.

[waitedforyears]

Oi, you. Not helping.

[signatures]

Only telling the truth.

Going into withdrawal, is that it? Rose is the same.

[waitedforyears]

Maybe your hugs are addictive.

[skintoskin]

What's wrong? Why can't you get a hug?

[waitedforyears]

Curse day. Always with the curses.
