[Rose is lying diagonally across her bed when the video comes up. She looks a bit preoccupied.]

City's quiet again. Always interestin' to see who shows up though. Anybody have someone from home stay this time?



[Locked from the Doctors, Donna, Jenny, Amy, Rory, & Jack]

I know there's all sortsa people here from all sortsa different worlds. I'd guess mosta those worlds got some sorta legend 'bout the fountain of youth or immortality, yeah?

M'interested in hearin' 'em.

[There's a shift in the way Seth is talking. He sounds calmer, more sure of himself. He senses potential client, and the 'dealer' mode is easier than anything to slip into.]

Don't know too much 'bout any legends. But I had my hands on some immortality once.

voice;

[iwasherefirst]

You had your hands on it once...?

[drinkslikeanan]

[He learned about locking conversations pretty soon after getting here. He'd rather certain people from home didn't hear this one.]

Someone sold it to me. Passed it on pretty quickly, though.

private;

[iwasherefirst]

[...] People sell you things like immortality?

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

I run a business back home. Buying and selling powers. Since the storm, anyway.

private;

[iwasherefirst]

Right. How much would somethin' like immortality run me? If you could find it.

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

Depends on how much they're selling for. The last time I sold it was for 40 grand.

private;

[iwasherefirst]

40...[Her eyes go wide on the screen.] M'not ever goin' to have that kinda money.

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

If you can find someone with the power who's willing to give it up, I can do the transfer. But I don't work for free.

private;

[iwasherefirst]

Wouldn't expect you to. If I find someone willin' to give up the power...I'll come up with somethin' you want.

Trip in time wouldn't interest you, would it?

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

You can travel in time and you can't get out of this place?

private;

[iwasherefirst]

Doctor can. Once we get out of here, he and me'll be at it again.

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

Sure that's so. But there's no guarantee we'll end up in the same world when we're out of here.

private;

[iwasherefirst]

I know. I'll come up with somethin'.

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

Don't have any powers of your own?

private;

[iwasherefirst]

'Less you count bein' stubborn as one...m'just human.

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

So am I. Seems like not ever version on London had the storm.

private;

[iwasherefirst]

Far as I know, my version never did. Never been to the one that did.

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

Avoid it, if you can. Lots of weird powers around.

private;

[iwasherefirst]

Like immortality and bein' able to pass powers from one person to another.

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

Like that, yeah. And I got lucky.

private;

[iwasherefirst]

Not everyone did?

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

A bloke tried to sell me the power of premature ejaculation.

private;

[iwasherefirst]

[That gets a snort of laugh out of her]

You sure that was a power and not just him?

private;

[drinkslikeanan]

He seemed very convinced.
