Am I back? ( A beat. ) I'm back, aren't I? 'cept it's busy. Is it one of those weekends? Does that mean I'm just visiting, then?

( Yes, this is Amy Pond, sitting down on the edge of the fountain — a little older. ) How long has it been? Bucky? ( A painfully hopeful expression. ) Doctor? Doctor, are you here?



(ooc; Anything goes for Amy. Also, she's back from being canon updated, and she's a few years after The Angels Take Manhattan now. )

I don't think many people are expecting the penguin.

[waitedforyears]

So how come you can talk?

[initforthemoney]

Ah, the penguin suit's just a get up. I'm a Whifferdill. That's a shape shifter to you lot.

[waitedforyears]

So why a penguin, then? Not that you don't look quite— dapper.

[initforthemoney]

Ah, it's jut an old favourite. Shape shifting is a lot of work, you know, it's just easier to have something you know well to come back to. And my ex-wife and me we used to - well, I don't really need to get into that.

[waitedforyears]

Gotcha. ( Laughing. )

[initforthemoney]

And you humanoids are so much work. All these little appendages everywhere.

[waitedforyears]

Bet we can run faster, though.

[initforthemoney]

When you can shape shift into a potted plant or a bit of wall running becomes a little over-rated.

[waitedforyears]

Huh. Sounds useful, that.

[initforthemoney]

Ain't it just. It's hard to imagine how you lot get by.

[waitedforyears]

Well. ( A beat. ) By running, mostly, when we're with the Doctor.

[initforthemoney]

I'll leave that to you kids. I'm more of the sneaking type.

[waitedforyears]

Gotcha. ( Curiosity wins always: ) So if you're a shapeshifter, what's the original form look like?

[initforthemoney]

If we've got an original form, no one's worked out what it is yet.

[waitedforyears]

Huh. So you're born shifting? Are you born?

[initforthemoney]

Something like that, yeah. I can't say I've spent any time in Whifferdill delivery rooms to really understand the details of it.

[waitedforyears]

Should ask the Doctor. He probably knows that kind of thing.

[initforthemoney]

I wouldn't count on it. The Doc knows a lot less than he's like to make out he does. Believe me, we've been friends long enough.

[waitedforyears]

Worth a try, though.

[initforthemoney]

Maybe. Does he seriously own a hat shop here?

[waitedforyears]

And a detective agency, yeah. Whatever you do, don't mention the fez.

[initforthemoney]

It can't be any worse than the get-up he wore when I knew him.

[waitedforyears]

Was it the awful coat?

[initforthemoney]

Bingo. Don't tell me he kept it.
