Voice

[Jimmy's voice sounds somewhat subdued today, not quite as full of confidence -- however false that confidence may occasionally be -- and not particularly energetic as he addresses the network.]

Got a question for ya, since I ain't got anythin' better to do. Anyone can answer it.

[There's a pause for a moment, and then he starts speaking again.]

Any of you here got kids? Probably not in the City, but back home, I mean. Just curious.

Ah. I've met a few people from your time. It must be rather hard being here.

No shit? You've met people from my time? Wish it'd been someone I'd known.

Not here, unfortunately. There are a couple from the second world war, but you're the first from the first. I travel in time where I'm from.

Lemme guess, you're either friends with some guy called the Doctor, or y'are the Doctor?

Aha. [ Humming. ] Yes, that's me, hello.

Hi. I've heard good things about ya.

Oh good! Usually it's the other way around.

Do people usually have bad stuff to say about ya?

Well, it depends on the person generally.

Whaddo they say?

Usually kill him, so there's that.

Well, shit, sounds like we got somethin' in common.

There's nothing quite like bonding over mutual death wishes.

That's why this damn city makes me laugh sometimes. This is the kinda shit we can relate about.

I think it's fond of pulling people with interesting lives in.

For what purpose? Just to fuck with us?

I assume so. The City's perverse in its pleasure.

Yeah. Especially this month.

I don't know why I was surprised when October became slightly vicious.

I useta like Halloween. Don't think I will, anymore.

I was going to dress up like a ghost. I had the holes cut in my bedsheets and everything.

[A laugh.]

Ya still could. The City'd just probably take ya seriously and turn ya into a real ghost or somethin'.

As much fun as it would be to be able to walk through walls, I doubt they'd leave me to be a friendly ghost.

Nah, you'd probably have to do some stupid hauntin' shit.

I'd probably be stuck apologising as I tried to levitate the silverware. It wouldn't go too well.
