[night] | [video]
"Can't even shout, can't even cry
The Gentlemen are coming by
Looking in windows, knocking on doors
They need seven and they might take yours'.
Can't call Mum
Can't scream a word
You're going to die screaming and you won't be heard."
[That night, the strange, twisted little nursery rhyme sounds over the PORTAL network in the voice of an older British man. The video feed for this particular portal is active - at the moment, it shows the ceiling of a room. After a few seconds, however, Giles sits down on the bed where his book-shaped PORTAL is resting, having turned itself on about a half an hour ago. The TENEKA only started working when Giles finally remembered the words to the Gentlemen's rhyme.
He does not look happy.]
I hear voices. Which is a funny thing, because I can't seem to speak.
If this is hell, it's...one of the stranger ones. Although the mirror, now, the mirror is...quite frustrating.
Is there anyone inside this thing who'd be willing to talk with me? Tell me who the King and Queen are? The Exile? In fact, why am I talking into a book? That's probably a good place to start.
Rupert Giles, by the way. Nice to meet you.
