[ Here's a face the network hasn't seem in awhile. Rory's been a busy man, you know. Dealing with the Doctor's unappreciation toast and his wife leaving the city--then himself leaving for new adventures involving stone angels and dinosaurs on a spaceship and cubes and dying. Again. You know, normal things for normal people.

Either way, he looks to be in good health. A little older, a little more well put-together, perhaps looking a little more tired. ]

Well, that was, um....Well.

[ He gives a little shrug. If you know Rory well or if you're very perceptive, you'll likely notice something's up with him. This is Rory trying his best to feign normalcy and pretend that everything is okay. ]

I went home. Well...sort of. Got to see the wife. My dad as well. Helped save the world once.

What have I missed? There haven't been any more declarations of war, have there been?

[Filtered to Team TARDIS: i.e. the entire cast]

Hullo. Have we gained anyone else while I've been gone?

[ Something's happened.

That's important; something's happened, but, also, most important of all, Rory's back. And the Doctor's overjoyed, of course he is. Despite it all ]

Rory! All in a days work, eh? It's been quiet here, nothing and no one new.

[Video]

[timesnewroman]

[ Something has most definitely happened, but Rory is keeping it very hush hush for the time being.

Besides, he's very happy to see you as well, Doctor. ]

Oh! Well...that's...good. I suppose. Our flat is beginning to get quite a bit of traffic as it is.

...Hullo again.

[comeonthensexy]

Hello. We really ought to think about moving, don't we?

video; hold this i will return one day

[verybigpheasants]

Well if there have been any such declarations, I'm sure they've been entirely personal matters between Travelers. No great cause for concern. [ talk to strangers best lifestyle. ]

video; will u rly tho

[timesnewroman]

Oh. I didn't mean--

[ Wow you have nice hair, buddy ]

So, the city is still in one piece? The Doctors haven't completely dismantled it?

video; no i am leaving u

[verybigpheasants]

Not that I've noticed. [ Man, should he even ask about the Doctors in plural... no. No, still working on figuring out the one. Pretty nice hair yourself though bro. ] But I can make no promises, naturally, depending on how long you've been away.

[bonnypiperlad]

Not that I'm aware of.

[Either declarations of war or gaining new people. Rory's pick. However, Jamie is peering at Rory in a rather thoughtful way. He looks different, but he can't quite put his finger on how.]

How do ye only sort of go home, anyway?

[timesnewroman]

Oh--hullo, Jamie.

Well--I mean, you go home, but then you get swept off somewhere else. Then you go home again...then you get swept off again. [ Rory, please. ] We've been doing a bit of traveling, is all.

[bonnypiperlad]

Oh, aye, I see. You've been off getting mixed up in things, ye mean.

[Like you do. Only it seems it wasn't a constant sort of thing.]

You're lucky ye got to spend some time at home, at least. I couldn't tell ye the last time I laid eyes on Scotland. I was supposed to go back, mind ye, but I didn't.

Home? How'd you go home, Mister ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ?

[timesnewroman]

I was sent there. By the gods, I expect. It's happened to others before.

[myteenagedivalife]

ヾ( ･`⌓´･)ﾉﾞ But most people don't come back with memories of being here in the first place right?????

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

You saved the world! Goodness! You say it so easily! That is terribly impressive, sir!

[Video]

[timesnewroman]

Well--helped to. It wasn't just me. It was mostly the Doctor. It was all rather dull, really. [ Not to mention that he helped to save the world from the invasion of the small black cubes. Woo-hoo. ]

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

But helping is just as important! And you know the Doctor! Oh! Do you know Miss Tardis too?

[hullo_sweetie]

[Something was definitely up. River knew all of her father's tells and although she was certainly glad to see him return, she suspected something had happened to him. She just hoped it wasn't what she thought it was]

Welcome back, Rory.

[timesnewroman]

[ River would know best. She's the one who's actually seen it all happen. Although Rory isn't sure as to what River's seen and what she hasn't, he's almost certain it's useless trying to hide anything from her. ]

Hullo, River. Doing well?

[Normally Soushi would not care for announcements like the one being aired right now -- especially from those he did not know nor have met. Yet, he could not help take notice of the man's body movement for a split second as he realized this man must have gone through a great deal. A piece of him wanted nothing more than to ignore the message, but....he decided against it.]

Welcome back to Asgard.... [Wait a moment as he checks for his ID.] Williams-san. It would seem as your trip to your world has been a rather pleasant trip if you were given the honor to have been reunited with your family again. I do hope they are doing well. [And he was sincere about that much. Family was important, after all.]

Do you remember the last date you were last here? To gain such knowledge, I will be able to offer you a more accurate summary over the possible events you have missed.

[timesnewroman]

[ Oh, good god, you have no idea. For an ordinary man, Rory has a lot of stories to tell. It's almost a shame he keeps most of them to himself. ]

Oh! Well! Yes. It...it certainly had its ups and downs. [ He manages a small smile. It isn't entirely forced. After all, it was nice to see his family again. ]

Day 255, I think? From the look of it, I haven't been gone quite as long as I thought.

[beforethewar]

Well, hello there, Rory! You're looking, ah...well rested? [Maybe? Not really? He looks different, that's for certain, but Eight doesn't know him at all enough to know that something might be amiss.]

I don't believe we've had any new arrivals since you left, and there have been no declarations of war that I know of.

[timesnewroman]

Thank...you? [ Now that has to be a lie--but then again, he hasn't looked in a mirror. He could look radiant for all he knows. ]

Oh! Well, good. That's good. And..uh...no new fezzes from the other you? I suspect he already has hundreds in his collection.

[eggsterminate]

Nina!

[timesnewroman]

Oswin! Hullo. [ Aw man, you died, didn't you? Somehow, it really doesn't quite register until you've actually experienced part of the other person's story. ] Well, um...doing well, are you?

[bestestfurrend]

You're back! Welcome back!!

No no, there hasn't been any fighting or anything. You did miss a hunt though! It was for eggs and they were brightly coloured and there's a purrticular name for them but I can't remember what it is. But there were presents if you found a lot!

[timesnewroman]

Oh, hullo again! [ Aw, Nepeta, even after just one run-in with you, he couldn't forget you.

It probably has something to do with the horns tbh but let's ignore that. ]


Oh! You mean--they weren't Easter eggs, were they?
