One Moon ℂ Video

[claimyourself]

[A hand fumbles in front of the camera, then pulls back to show a teenage girl who is looking very confused and a bit scared.]

Where am I? What's going on here?

[She looks around her, then back to the camera. Bringing it closer to her face to better examine it, she narrows her unique eyes, one green, one gold.]

Is this some kind of sick joke? Did you do this, mother?

[The last word is spit out harshly. This is so not a happy mother-daughter relationship.]

I don't know what your angle is this time, but I don't want to talk to you. Send me home right now!

Take a deep breath. S'all right. 'm pretty sure your mum couldn't do this. 'm Rose Tyler and you're in the City. Horrible name, yeah. Not much we can do 'bout that either.

Where you at? Can't tell from the video.

[She lets out a little laugh of disbelief.]

You don't know my mother.

[She pushes off the wall she's leaning against and steps out a few feet, then points the camera up at the impressive building.]

Outside the police station. I was thinking of getting some help, but it'd be tough to explain how I ended up here.

[iwasherefirst]

Not much they could do anyhow. Stay put, I'll come fetch you and we'll have a cuppa tea. I'll explain things to you if you like.

[She's definitely wary of this. Someone helping her out of the blue? It doesn't seem right.]

You want to help me? Just like that?

[iwasherefirst]

I was new here once too. I got lucky. Got friends here. Not everyone does. 'Sides 'm offerin' tea and information, not a place to live.

[claimyourself]

I don't need a place to live, but information is something I'd like a bit more of.

[And as far as Lena can tell on the tiny video screen, this woman's eyes aren't gold, so she's sure this isn't some Dark Caster trap.]

Video

[iwasherefirst]

Hold on a mo' I'll send some information to your device.

[Lena will get this file and this one]

Might be a bit out dated but could help.

[It takes her a minute to figure out how to open the files and view them, and after a quick glance she closes them so she can talk to Rose again.]

This will be a big help, thank you. I think I'll go find somewhere to sit so I can read them.

[iwasherefirst]

You're welcome. It can be a bit over whelmin' so if you've got questions, ask and it'll be all right. The City's brilliant most of the time.

[claimyourself]

[Can't be that brilliant if her boyfriend and uncle aren't there. :|]

Like how? You mean just stuff to do?

Video

[iwasherefirst]

Sometimes you get a chance to live the sorta life you woulda never gotten to live anywhere else.

[She's silent for a moment, eyes darting away.]

That-- that sounds nice, actually.

Video

[iwasherefirst]

There's drawbacks but what place hasn't got some sorta thing 'bout it that makes it hard sometimes?

Video

[claimyourself]

That is so true, believe me, I know.

[She twists a lock of hair around her finger absently.]

But if everyone else here is going through the same thing, it can't be that bad.

Video

[iwasherefirst]

S'xactly. No matter what this place has made you do, most people understand it.

Video

[claimyourself]

[By now she's moved on to a cafe and has sat down.]

That'll be something new; experiencing something that others understand too. Thanks for all your help.

Video

[iwasherefirst]

You're welcome. I'll talk to you later, yeah?

Re: Video

[claimyourself]

Yeah, I'd like that.
