Eh—
…it has to do with, ah, old wirings? The, ah, the metal around it- it is worn off around the, um- [he points with both hands, pressing the tips of his fingers together] -um, connections? But the metal is of rare origins now, as Gallifrey is… [clears throat] …I have used much of the duct tape.
Ah. Well, duct tape - that’s - I mean, it’s good. I guess.
Hang on- do you use it to fix other things too? You haven’t got duct tape holding together something keeping the ship from blowing up or something have you?
…No?
I mean, not all of the things — only some of the things. And I have use of other- bits. Not just duct tape. Um, but things that are- not meant to have fixtures on the TARDIS? She is a Type 40 TT capsule - already outdated when I made off. I have creatively repaired for all of our centuries.
Creatively repaired? [Deep breath.] It’s safe though, isn’t it? Bit late to be asking, I know, but humour me.
But you didn’t think to, I dunno, actually fix whatever’s the matter with the translation circuits? I mean, it’s happened a few times now.

So-
I see you’ve been practising then.
Yes, after two times, I had the thought- ‘Enough with this!’ —and it is of use now.

((ooc: I feel like I apologise whenever I actually get on to RP so yeah I’m sorry I’m never really on any more but I’m going to try harder because I really do want to RP it’s just most of my motivation is completely gone.))
“Uh, yeah. Recently, actually. It was a mess. I was sent back in time a couple years. Had to put together a set-up of lights and cameras and screens to stop the Angels. I mean, it worked out. In the end,” he added.
“I had to wear a fez though. For a while.” He made a face. “So, you don’t really think there are Weeping Angels around, do you?”
“Great, grand. Molto Bene. Glad to hear it worked out, even if you were…sent back a few years.” Still not a pleasant experience none-the-less but great to hear that he caught them. In some form. “Did they really fall for screens and cameras?”
“Why a fez?” Why would someone even need to be wearing that to capture Weeping Angels in the first place?” He paused a beat at the question, his eyes darting about for a brief instance before focusing back on his company. “No…I don’t see any about. Nor are the lights having any problems. Why?”
“Oh, well you said time anomalies so I thought maybe…. never mind. Uh, the fez was to keep track of me and … the other me. Future Rory - fez Rory. It wasn’t my idea. You made me.”
“2013 as a matter of fact.” He nodded, giving an amused smirk at the look he was giving him. “Spring if you need a little more than that. Everything alright?” He checked, looking the man over to make sure something wasn’t going to suddenly happen. “Time… traveling is something you do often?”
“Oh- yeah. Actually it’s totally normal. My wife and I - we travel with this friend of ours. Been out of the loop for-” Rory looked at his watched, realised how useless it was to him right then, then shrugged. “Well, a couple months.”
“Wonder if we don’t have the same kind of friend. Granted, he normally won’t take me time traveling, which I don’t entirely blame him, I would be missed, but that’s something else entirely.” He admitted, giving a slight shrug. “Welcome back, I suppose. Not sure if that’s the correct greeting to use.”
“Very likely, I should think. The Doctor does get around. You are talking about the Doctor, aren’t you?” It seemed to Rory that a lot of the people he met knew the Doctor.
“It seems as good as any other greeting.”
We can certainly hope so. [The Doctor stood up, adjusting his jacket before holding out his hand for Rory.] It certainly can’t hurt at this point, after all.
[Rory took the Doctor’s hand in his as he stood up.] Where are we going?
To the TARDIS! [he answers it without considering that Rory won’t really know what ‘the TARDIS’ is; not yet] You’ve lost memories, I’ve got a whole box full of them!
Right… [For a few moments he looked as though he were really trying to make sense of any of that, but it had all gone right over his head.] Yeah, no. What? What’s the TARDIS? And how can you have a box full of memories - that doesn’t even make sense, Doctor.
