Everyone just needs to stop dying. [ Amy sounds angry more than anything, but it's mostly a defense mechanism. Deep breaths, and then she continues, a little more calmly. ]

Look, I know they look like pepper potts and pretty useless but seriously. They're dangerous, okay. Believe me on that one.

So. Unless you're actually invincible, just run away. Don't play the hero and for God's sake, don't die.


[ Yeah, so I just posted a hiatus, but— it's Daleks and Bucky died, I couldn't not post. I'll be around today, but after that, well, I hope you're all okay with backtags ;; ]

Machine try kill. Me no die, take machine - Heh-heh!

[waitedforyears]

Yeah? Well, that works to. Guess that puts you in the invincible category. [ A beat. ] Wait, so you're in a Dalek?

[he_who_kills]

Yes, me take! Is mine!

[waitedforyears]

So long as you don't start shooting people.

Pond? [ Eleven's been speaking to Howard, so he knows what's got her so worked up. His heart goes out to her, but he yet again has no way to make this better. ]

Come on, I think I've found something useful.

[waitedforyears]

[ Clenched jaw, but she's turning around to go look. ] Yeah? What is it?

[ Pepper's voice is frantic and confused. ]

They look nothing like me! Why do people keep saying that?

[wearafeznow]

A safe house, it's hidden well enough.

[ They're bunkered down in behind a park wall, and it's not precisely safe but the Dalek's haven't gotten this far yet. If only he had the TARDIS, if only he could help. ]

Voice

[waitedforyears]

What are you even talking about.

[waitedforyears]

[ Craning her head to get a good look. ] Yeah, that could work. [ Looking back at him, frowning and still so angry because anger is much easier than pain. ] We gotta do something.

[threeolives]

Everyone keeps saying these things look like me!

[ She switches to video. ]

As you can see, I am not a crazy flying death robot!

[child_radical]

The note of most modern arms being useless against them should be added to the warning.

[waitedforyears]

I said they look like pepper potts. Look at them, they do. You don't look like a pepper pot, what are you even on about.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah? What've you tried?

Video

[threeolives]

It's my name. Pepper Potts.

Video

[waitedforyears]

[ p a u s e ] Oh.

Well. I wasn't talking 'bout you.

Video

[threeolives]

I can see that now.

Sorry, I'm just a little on edge at the moment. Okay, a lot on edge. Very on edge.

Video

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, I get it. [ Amy is incredibly tense herself. ] So, you somewhere safe?

Video

[threeolives]

I will be, once this elevator gets here! [ More impatient hitting of buttons. ]

These things, you've seen them before?

[child_radical]

I learned explosions just do nothing but make them angrier.

Video

[waitedforyears]

They're from my world, yeah. Called Daleks.

Video

[threeolives]

No offense, but I don't ever want to see your world.

[ Sure, there are villains and death robots in Pepper's world, but they're at least stoppable. And the Hammer drones never spoke in that awful tinny voice... ]

Video

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, gotcha. 's not all bad though.

voice.

[rehashing]

[ Elena has a chair under her door handle. Just in case. And a knife. And she's just sitting on her couch. ]

What are they?

[waitedforyears]

They do that. And then it's all Exterminate, exterminate.
