If.... [Sigh. Rory is unhappy and trying to make himself say something.] If you're here because you have nowhere else to go...I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't-- I should have known better. I promise, I'll try and help you with anything you need.

[ooc: So, he's a bit sad and guilty due to this, but even so! Fourth wall him with everything you've got

[stilluphere]

Well I'm certainly stuck here with no where else to go. What kind of help exactly are you offering?

[waitsforever]

Uhhm...well, I can't help you get HOME, but I can help with anything else..?

[stilluphere]

Do all of you lot look like this here?

[Valentine makes a strange sort of floppy-sleeve all-encompassing gesture at Rory's face.]

[waitsforever]

[Rory puts a hand to his face in a sort of automatic 'is there something on my face...?' gesture, but he's a fairly clever guy. And it is difficult not to notice what the other man's face looks like.]

Do you mean...not [his hands vaguely gesturing at his face] all...stuff on your face? My face? Our faces?

[stilluphere]

Yeah, that. It makes you all look terribly strange.

[waitsforever]

Well... I haven't seen anyone else with a face like yours, so...I think everyone else probably is like me, yes.

[stilluphere]

S'pity.

And who are you supposed to be?

[waitsforever]

[That question, asked like that, takes Rory a bit by surprise, so he just says:] Rory.

[stilluphere]

Rory.

It's a bit dull, isn't it? Ever thought about changing it?

[waitsforever]

Yeah. I didn't, though. What's yours?

[stilluphere]

[He leaves a nice dramatic pause in there to give it the proper build-up.]

Valentine.

[waitsforever]

That's a good name. [Because it seems to be expected of him.]

[stilluphere]

[Good answer, Rory.]

It is, yes.
