005 //video - You are tearing me apart, Asgard.

[The feed flickers on and--hey, look, it's Mary Campbell. I mean, it looks like Mary, but can we really be so sure on a day like this? Clearly not, because this person is sporting a very unMary-like expression: that same distressed expression that Rory William often wears.

Yeah, it's Rory. And you may catch him looking down and getting briefly distracted by this body's chest. I'm sorry. He's a nice guy, but he's a guy all the same.]

Oh. [Yeah, pal. Nice job getting caught there. You can be flustered now.] Uh...Mary...? I think we might possibly have just a small problem?

[He begins to wring his hands, but immediately stops. It's not his body. He's not going to chance giving Mary arthritis, nope. So instead, he just sits there, awkwardly staring at the camera.]

I've been through a lot of things. Wibbly-wobbly things, I think the Doctor would call them if he were here. And honestly, I am really surprised that this isn't one that's happened before.

Uh, it's Rory by the way. I imagine Mary looks like me if you're trying to find her. Like I normally do, I mean. I'm normally a bloke.

[Is it just me or am I sensing some best friend material here?]

Why aren't you trying to get back to them? Instead of just waiting for them to come here?

[video]

[timesnewroman]

[Definitely best friend material. But ouch, that one makes him feel bad, and it definitely shows on...well, it shows on Mary's face.]

I have tried.

[Whoa ouch okay didn't mean that don't look so sad.]

And you haven't found?

[She doesn't mean it to be mean. Just in a curious way.]

[video]

[timesnewroman]

No.

When I first came here, I had a friend from my world here with me. He's gone now, but--he's called the Doctor, and he knows more about the universe than anyone else. Not even he had an answer to getting them here. I've spoken to the gods and to anyone I can. It's just...it's not that simple. It never is.

[oh. So the chances of her mom showing up...]

I'm sorry.

[video]

[timesnewroman]

It's all right. I'm used to waiting for...well, for very extended periods of time. They'll show up eventually.

[video]

[swedge]

[That's kind of weird...]

Yeah, I hope so.
