I am actually resorting to iced tea thanks to this sodding heat.
This is a bloody travesty.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I take it you're from somewhere a bit more chilly?

You might say that. I'm from England. Temperatures like this would be a national disaster.

I can imagine so. I hope the heat breaks soon.

Likewise. It wouldn't be so bloody unbearable if the air conditioning would work.

I miss home.

You and me both, lad. How are you coping?

With magic, so it's going alright. Although it's less effective than usual.

I also made non-melting ice cream.

Non-melting-- Really, now. What flavours do you have it in?

Once-ler's in charge of that, so we have pretty much any flavour you could desire, I'd reckon. He's a genius that way.

I do have a terrible fondness for rum and raisin.

Then come by my shop. Or ask Once-ler if he delivers.

I'll come by. Getting out of the flat sounds like a marvellous idea.

It's cool in here, too, so it's quite marvelous overall.

Say no more. I'll be there shortly.

Why don't you just come to the TARDIS? It's cooler inside, and she's got a swimming pool!

I can't say I'm really much for swimming.
I'll take the 'cooler' part, though. Where do you have her parked this time?

She's in the middle of the apartment courtyard, can't miss her!

[He checks out of the window first then heads down, slipping inside the TARDIS and pausing mid-step just at the simple reduction in heat. It's almost enough to give him a chill.

The main room is too much of a sight to simply pass through, so he lingers for a few minutes, looking at some of the control panels.]

See, John. Even our homeland thinks this weather is unreasonable and offensive.

I beg your pardon?

What on earth for? I was agreeing with you.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you're already aware of exactly what I am, Mr. Holmes.
But I don't believe that we've been formally introduced.

Hardly necessary, don't you think? Hello, anthropomorphised embodiment of my country, I'm an adaptation of what is apparently one of your most widely-known fictional canons. There, taken care of.
