[The video pops on revealing the room the Doctor and River share at Thor 103. There is a figure standing in front of a mirror, a young woman. She looks at herself in the mirror putting lipstick on and straightening the leather jacket she put on. Someone who knows the female inhabitant of that room may notice that the clothes she wears all belong to River Song.

Then she turns around, her long braided hair whipping behind her and closes in on the camera.]

So now you decide to transmit, eh? It's just as well.

[She smirks, showing a set of white and perfect teeth.]

Anyone care to tell me where I am? Just woke up in this bed and the last thing I remember isn't exactly getting into it.

Where did you guys hide Hitler? It was just starting to get funny, you know?

Doctor? Amy? Rory? You can come out now, 's not a good joke at all.

[Attentive viewers may notice that the video is transmitted by River Song. Odd, isn't it?]

Comments

[becauseichooseto]

Oh. You're right. That's much more taxing. [This is a not really a good point, Mels. He shrugs lightly.] It's simply my name.

There's a war to fight and we're bringing colour back to the local populace.

Five months or so.

[riverrunswild]

... a war? Why should I fight a war for them?

How did you find out about all of this? [She really starts to think she's been cut out of the loop on purpose here.]

[becauseichooseto]

Because it will evidently end existence.

I was told. The gods are quite active, or, perhaps that ought to be was, given that they've been significantly less so with Odin taking ill.

[riverrunswild]

Why do things always have to be so very dramatic? Who are we fighting? Other Gods?

I wonder why nobody bothered to tell me. I mean, I just got here. Could have made a huge mistake without knowing all this already.

[becauseichooseto]

Says the woman missing out on her joyride to assassinate Hitler. [You're one to talk.] We're fighting Giants. Ice and Fire.

It's unusual to arrive without going through the castle first.

[riverrunswild]

As good as anything for a first trip, I should think.

What, the Thunder ones are on holiday?

Tell that to whoever put me in this room. I think it was the Doctor, actually. I mean with all them bow ties here I bet it's his room.

[becauseichooseto]

[He's already gone down that road. Hitler isn't amusing, fun or anything remotely of that nature to Brax, even if it ends in his murder.]

He doesn't have the ability. No one here does if they're not a god.

[riverrunswild]

Why ... am I in his room then?

[becauseichooseto]

I'm sorry. But I'm afraid I don't know.

[riverrunswild]

Anyone you think I could ask?

This is the Doctor's room, innit?

[becauseichooseto]

The Doctor should be able to shed light on at least one of those questions.

[riverrunswild]

The last one, most likely. He looked a bit surprised to see me. [Or rather very.]

[becauseichooseto]

He did, rather.

[riverrunswild]

Wait. Did you listen in on our conversation? That's rather naughty, Irving. [And she had no idea that was possible. Explains the Doctor being rather upset.]

[becauseichooseto]

It's called a privacy function, Mels. Privacy is generally not assumed when you broadcast publicly.

[riverrunswild]

Yeah, well, must have missed the memo. [She just grins, not really minding. Not like she has any secrets to keep.]

[becauseichooseto]

So it seems. [He's not remotely guilty.]

[riverrunswild]

So, who else is here? Any fancy people the gods decided to take for a spin?

[becauseichooseto]

Your bracelet has a list of all those currently in Asgard. I'm sure you'll find one or two that you might consider 'fancy'.

[riverrunswild]

That little girl was right. Whole bunch of Doctors. They have numbers.

Wait ... it says Alice Liddell? As in Wonderland?

[becauseichooseto]

[Irving leaves that observation alone, it's not like he has anything to add.]

Oh, quite. We have the flowers as well. They're pleasant enough if you're polite. Usually.

[riverrunswild]

The flowers? The one from the movie? This place is mental.

[becauseichooseto]

Hm. I suppose so, yes. [Irving has had the dubious distinction of being places that were worse.]

[riverrunswild]

What's the craziest person you've run into here? Or ... individual?

[becauseichooseto]

Murderous crazy, unusual outlook crazy or hyperactive crazy?
