Is it true that there's no sky here?  This is distressing.  Although, personally, I don't mind being landlocked again.  On Earth that was... that apparently is again.  Of all places.



I stand corrected.  This is what going mad must feel like.

Tam? Oh, you're River's brother!

[doctorish]

Ah, are we famous?

[flameregalia]

I suppose. River has painted you into a somewhat larger than life figure.

[doctorish]

She did? I apologize if I disappoint! Who are you? It's too bizarre when someone knows who you are, but it doesn't go both ways.

[flameregalia]

I'd imagine. My name's Spitfire. Your sister's roommate is a protégé of mine, so I spent some days in that apartment with them. She's a brilliant girl.

[doctorish]

She is. Thank you for looking after her. It seems like I've missed out on too much to catch up on. Have you been here long?

[flameregalia]

Ages. Six months, actually. They're throwing a parade to celebrate.

[doctorish]

To celebrate you being here, or everyone?

[flameregalia]

Everyone, I think.

[doctorish]

Of course. I'm sorry for asking so many questions, it's like I'm the last guest to arrive at a party I wasn't really invited to. Parades. It seems like a friendly place, at least.

[doctorish]

Save for the scientists. I could have done without all of the questions.

[flameregalia]

This is far from a friendly place. Your sister is lucky to have you again.

[doctorish]

It isn't. Oh, good. Well, I can't say that's new to me, so. I just wish I had gotten here sooner.
