poly_chromatic | (video)

[ The video feed clicks on, showing a room, a little dusty and not too large, rows of shelves filled with hats of all sorts along all walls. There's a desk in the middle, and it has Amy Pond pacing diagonally through it. ] Okay, yeah, but we gotta. Promote it somehow, right? Can't have a detective agency without clients, right?

Posters! [ There's a crash from somewhere off screen, before something is flung across the room. ] That's how they did it in the old days, massive posters. With slogans. We need a slogan, something cool.

[ The video doesn't pick up on Amy rolling her eyes, but it's obvious in her tone anyways. ] Posters, Doctor? Really? That's so— no. no. This is the 21st century, yeah? Or like it, at least. We should make a post on the network. [ Pausing just a moment. ] But we need a slogan, yeah. And a name.

What's wrong with posters? [ He sounds wounded, wandering into view, with his fingers curled around his braces, straightening himself up. ] I've always loved a good poster. Of -- what do people have posters of, anyways?

Posters are for teenage girls with crushes on movie stars or little girls who like ponies. Or boys who like cars or naked girls, I s'ppose. We're not gonna do a poster. [ All the frowning ]

[ Abandoning that in favour of tripping forward, crossing his arms over his chest and looking unimpressed. ] But I really wanted a poster. [ A sigh. ] Let's get on with this then.

Yeah, all right. [ Grinning now ] So. Hey City. You've heard, yeah? Detective agency, we need cases. We're— Pond and Smith? Smith and Pond? Detectives, anyhow.

And we are going to solve all your mysteries, big or small, weird and wonderful, strange and spooky. Just leave it to us, honestly, it's what we do.

[ — and the feed clicks off ]

[ Red is the eleventh Doctor, green is Amy and Pond and Smith is now open for business. Give them cases! Lost a fez? Searching for your pet pig? Want to know what your neighbour's cat gets up to at night? Or why there's a crack in your wall? Call them! ]

I've moved. [ well. the Doctor moved her and Rory, would be more accurate ] Closer to London. 's better there.

There ya go then, sweetheart, knew y'were a smart 'en. And if London don't change much over the years, you're onto a winner there.

London's pretty great, yeah. You've been?

For what I saw'a it? Yeah. Got a base'a operations over there, guessing it ain't looking as bombed out in places as it did in my day though.

Yeah, I've been during the war. Probably not the same universe, though, unless yours had Daleks in London during the blitz.

Pretty sure there weren't no big pepper pots walking 'bout the place.

Yeah, figures.

Gonna love discovering 'about all these alternative universes.

Y' think? It gets confusing after a while.

'Suppose you'd know more than most. Y'need a good old fashioned notebook, jot down some notes.

I've at least three different universes in my head.

...Actually stored in your head?

One of 'em, yeah. One I just have a second set of memories of and the third I just remember. That one's not overlapping with one of the others, at least.

Y'lead an interesting life, darlin', anyone ever tell you that?

Once or twice. [ Grinning. ] 's the best way to live.

You and me? We'd make a great team.

[ Leaning back, arms crossed and eyebrows raised, a challenge and amusement clearly visible on her face. ] Yeah? What're you bringing to the table, then?

I got the brains, you got the beauty, and y'ain't exactly dumb yourself. We could do great things. [ Thoughtfully. ] Y'ever wear a top hat?

Stole one off the Doctor's head on my wedding, why?

'Cause the showgirls I got back home looked mighty fine in 'em.

I did the showgirl thing for a curse here, once.

Y'got any snaps'a that moment?

Yeah, maybe. But 'm not sharing.

Oh, hey, now, c'mon, why not? I'd offer you anything y'like in exchange for a peek.

Yeah but then what would I have to pull on you? No, 'm keeping this as leverage.
