[32] time after time

[The Doctor comes on the line and it's almost hard to recognize that it's him. The usual cheery arrogance is completely gone, replaced by a maniac fear. He seems to be unsure of where he is or whom he is speaking to.]Hello! Is anyone there?! Don't just stand around, answer the bloody phone

[Phone]

[Okay. The Doctor hasn't been around for a bit now--she's figured out that he's been moved, which she didn't think was possible but whatever, she's rolling with it. One of these days, she's going to visit his new place and see if it's different.

She doubts it is.

Still, hearing him on the phone still takes her a bit by surprise. As for what he's saying...]

What the ☠☠☠☠ are you going on about? You're not making any sense.

[coolbowtie]

...Elsa.

Is that you?

[with_an_accent]

Yes, it's me.

Now, what is all this about dying and Lake Silencio and ticking in your head?

[coolbowtie]

...It's counting down. Counting down until my death at Lake Silencio. The clocks are all counting down.

[with_an_accent]

... you can tell when your own death is coming?

[That has to be unnerving.]

Are you sure you're not... hallucinating or whatnot?
