[Rory is sitting in some corner of the TARDIS, hunched over. He's very quiet aside from some shaky breathing.

After a moment he lifts his head and realizes that he is being recorded. With the first good shot of his face you can tell that he has been crying.]

You know what? No. No, I can't do this right now. [He gets up and walks away. The video feed cuts out.

Another moment and the feed comes back, showing Rory in a hallway of the TARDIS. He stops, sees he's being recorded and frowns.] Can't you even leave me alone for a few minutes?

[He walks away, the feed cuts again.

Once more it comes back. Rory is in yet another spot on the TARDIS. He sighs and leans up against the wall. Resigned, he looks to the camera.]

I really doubt you need my attention this badly.

If I could figure out how to push it through the feed, I'd offer you a drink.

[doyoufondue]

It doesn't listen when you're upset.

[loyalbound]

... It's doubtful it needs it. But it always wants it at the worst moments regardless.

Rory, what happened?

[timey_wimey]

... Rory? I'm guessing you don't really wanna talk about it, but... well. The offer stands.

It longs for the complications it causes.

[croibhristeoir]

It seems to thrive on misfortune now and again.

Should you wish to talk, I'll listen.

[tenminutes]

It seems a lot less stalkerish if you think of it like a puppy following you around and trying to tell all of your friends that you need someone to talk to.

[ Not that she'd appreciate it if it were in her business, but it's something to consider. ]

[godofabs]

It is a thing that feasts on your own sorrow.

[hasbottombunk]

I don't know if it would really help, honestly.

[hasbottombunk]

Does it ever listen, really?

[hasbottombunk]

There was...an accident with Amy. And the Doctor.

[hasbottombunk]

I can't. Because you're him, and he's you. And I'm just...I'm still really angry with him for all of this.

[hasbottombunk]

It didn't cause anything this time.

[treatinferiors]

It is now.

[hasbottombunk]

I don't even know where I'd start.

[hasbottombunk]

I would have told my friends eventually. I didn't need it to bother so quickly.

[hasbottombunk]

You think it'd be full already.

[hasbottombunk]

It caused the video, sure. Not what happened before.

[treatinferiors]

Is it anything you want to talk about?

[croibhristeoir]

Anywhere you like. You need not even talk about whatever's transpired, should you wish not to. Sometimes just talking about anything at all can help.

[hasbottombunk]

I'm not really sure about telling my friends about it. Telling some anonymous stranger does seem like a better idea.

[hasbottombunk]

Have I told you about my wife?

[croibhristeoir]

I don't believe you have, no.

[treatinferiors]

Point.

Still, you have my condolences, for what they're worth.

[godofabs]

It is never sated, forever hungering for the misery of others.
