131| Roxas [video]

[shardsofmemory]

[The camera turns on at a rather awkward angle to show Roxas, dressed in blue scrub pants and a tight-fitting t-shirt. He's trying to pull the matching blue shirt away from a robot, glaring fiercely at it]

Dirty! Dirty! [It cries, and Roxas heaves an exasperated sigh. To anyone normal this week, he sounds oddly... British. To anyone not normal, this

[Amy's first thought: Well that's new. She cocks an eyebrow as she looks up from something she was inspecting in her hands. Is that a chair leg? Sure looks like it.]

Since when are you from London? [There's a trace of a smirk on her lips as she asks.]

[shardsofmemory]

Since always? Since when have you been a carpenter? [Raising one eyebrow back.]

[Her smirk widens.] You see, I know that's not true. You didn't have that accent before. You're from whatever world you're from, and I'm pretty sure there's no London there.

[She laughs at the carpenter comment though.] Now, that's funny! I'm just pulling together a nice cash of weapons now that we have more at our disposal. Y'know, just in case. [She holds up the chair leg.] And I'll have you know, these can make excellent stakes in a pinch.

"Whatever world I'm from" being Earth with about a hundred other planets thrown in there for good measure, thanks to a certain Doctor.

Stakes. And what are you staking, vampires, because I've found shooting them through the head actually works better. At least on space vampires. Which are nasty, for the record.

[Now Amy's looking at you like you're a bit crazy.]

Space vampires? [She laughs at this because that sounds totally ridiculous.] I don't know about 'space vampires' but the vampires I've run into, there's only one way to kill those blood-suckers. And that, [She draws a line across her throat.] it to take of their head. Nice and clean.

And I assume by Doctor you mean the twitchy, flail-y bloke in the bowtie who used to be here?

[shardsofmemory]

The Doctor didn't like me shooting them but they were mindless and trying to eat us so there wasn't much else I could do.

Yeah, that one. [Roxas smiles, soft and sad] The only one there is.

[She's still not sure she believes in space vampires but she can understand Roxas' position.]

Well, you've got to do what you've got to do. If you didn't kill them, they would have killed you. And who knows how many innocent people.

[She can't help noticing the change in his expression.] I'm sorry that he's gone. It's always hard to lose people.

The Doctor never liked me to, though. [He's still got that sad sort of smile] And really, of everyone here, he's the one who would go stir-crazy the most, having to stay in one place. He's got to go everywhere and do everything all the time.

[Amy returns his smile, hers just a bit melancholy as well.] Yeah. I know the feeling. Back home, I was on the road a lot. Going from case to case. It's a bit weird staying in one place for so long, no matter the amount of excitement.

[A pause as she regards the boy's face for a moment.] I assume you traveled with him, yeah?

At least the whole station is a bit bigger- there's all sorts to explore, and you can see out into the stars. [Roxas looks over at one of the windows in the med bay] I missed them.

[Nodding, he keeps his gaze fixed out the window] I did. For a long time. He's lonelier than he lets on, really.
