[The sphere comes on to show Oliver lying on the floor of his and the Doctor's shelter, very near where he died; in fact, the bloody blankets that used to hold his body are behind him--mysteriously empty now

[He'd half been hoping for some kind of miracle like this, but it's still a huge enough surprise to make him speechless.]

[oliverplus]

[sees him on the sphere from his vantage point on the floor; wonders why Lyle's making that expression, but grins anyway] Hey, Lyle.

[not_that_lockon]

Hey, Oliver.

[oliverplus]

You okay?

[not_that_lockon]

Yeah. I'm okay.

Somehow, I feel like I should be the one asking you that.

[oliverplus]

To be honest, everything's a little fuzzy at the moment...

[not_that_lockon]

How much do you remember?

[oliverplus]

Remember about what? [frowns, thinking about it, and looks down at himself again]

It's more like...I'm hoping what I remember isn't what really happened. I mean, it couldn't have been.

[not_that_lockon]

If what you remember is the same as what I remember, then I'm afraid it did.

[oliverplus]

[cringes at the thought] So...I died then.

I'm sorry, Lyle.

[not_that_lockon]

For what? All you did was fall asleep in the wrong place.

[oliverplus]

[shivers at the memory] Yeah, but...it couldn't've been easy for any of you.

[not_that_lockon]

Well, I'd be lying if I said it was...

[oliverplus]

I'm not sure how you make up for something like that... [tries for a light tone] Normally I'd say we should all pay a visit to the pub, but that might be a bit difficult at the moment.

[not_that_lockon]

Yeah, it might just be a bit of a hike.

[oliverplus]

I suppose we can just add some more to the tab I owe you.
