( as always, he's trying to make this as short as possible, but it's hard to even know where to stop with the way his voice carries into the charm. it's likely going to come out all wrong, but: he figures it's like posting something on the notice board in the slums. no one's going to listen to it, right? )

Looking to head back out into the forest to see if there's any trace of the people that went missing.

Figured it might be best to find someone, or someones, to come with me. Not looking to become one of the missing myself.

Some questions if you're considering it...

One, are you afraid of ghosts?

Two, how do you react when you're scared?

( --and then, with a measured sigh: )

My name is Cloud. Blonde hair, big sword. If you're worried, I'm pretty good at keeping people alive, but.

( imagine if he had just, you know, done a video. )

I'm surprised you aren't going out on your own to be honest.

[ Is that a hint of pride that we hear in the Doctor's voice? Maybe. But it's also coloured with something that is absolutely the sound of amusement. One could also potentially assume that the Doctor had been planning on going back out there himself but sans any sort of companions. ]

I suppose none of the locals took you up on the offer?

[mercedis]

I considered it, but I figured I'd get in trouble.

( wryly, like he knows that it's probably the case. )

Didn't ask, honestly. I didn't want to remind them, and I'm not sure they're...telling the truth, anyway.

What do you think about all this?
