[For those that are familiar with it, Eleven is very clearly in the TARDIS - there is a familiar whirring in the background, and he's running in and out of the screen, fiddling with all sorts of complicated-looking dials and controls. The room seems to be shaking, and there are occasionally bursts of sparks in the background as the TARDIS strains with something.]

Hello everyone! I'm trying to slow down the lava flow, but if anyone gets into trouble or is trapped by it, I can come pick you up in the TARDIS. I'm afraid she can't support a significant portion of the island's population, so it's better to just leave her to rescues, if the rest of you can find your way to someplace safe.

Also! If anyone needs gasmasks, fire extinguishers, or medical supplies, I have several to hand out! If there are other things people need that I haven't thought about, let me know - I can probably help with those too.

Good luck, everyone, and stay safe. Geronimo!!

How many is several? Do you want me to hand them out for you? You seem kind of busy with the whole redirecting lava thing...

[icanbuyafez]

Good idea!

But... You already have some, don't you? It would make more sense to have more than one person hand them out - that way we can get to more people that need them.

I'll definitely find someone to help me hand them out, though! Thanks a lot!

[thneed]

But I already handed out the ones I had. So I'm free to hand those out.

[icanbuyafez]

Oh, all right then!

Where are you? I'll stop by and drop some of them off.

[rulebreaks]

Hey, Doctor-guy. Anything a lowly waitress-backslash-vampire-slayer can do?

[icanbuyafez]

Buffy! Yes! Excellent!

I could definitely use your help! You could either take emergency supplies to hand out to people who need them, or you could join me on rescue missions - depending on the situation, it might require some tricky flying, so a second person would be very useful!

[rulebreaks]

That's me! Yes! Though I don't know about excellent... I excel at fighty things, not so much flying things.

Which - what exactly are you flying trickily? ...If this place has those wrist-pincher bracelets, count me in.

[icanbuyafez]

Well, that's the point! I do the flying bits and the stopping the lava from killing everybody bits while you do the rescue-y bits and get everyone on board!

I'm flying the TARDIS! It's my time machine. The time part doesn't really work trapped on the island, but within the forcefield the space part works just fine!

...Not really sure what you mean with the bracelet thingies, but if you describe it to me I'm sure I can get the TARDIS to make you one.

[rulebreaks]

You have a time machine. Are we going to go back to before the lava and prevent it from getting lavalike because I left my red puffy vest and skateboard in my other pants.

[ and it kind of makes her nervous, which is why her ramble is more inane than usual. ] Forget the bracelets, I might have to go full sedation. Or at least something with tequila.

2/2

Did you just say your spaceship-time machine would make me one? ...Could it also make me a drink?

[icanbuyafez]

Unfortunately, the force field prevents me from travelling in time. I can travel through space on the island just fine, though, and the TARDIS is a tough old thing, so rescue missions should be no problem!

Yep, no problem! Though really, I'm not quite sure now's the best time for a drink...

[rulebreaks]

I didn't say I wanted one, though I wouldn't say no to a juice.

Okay, spaceman, count me in.

[chronosexual]

You sure you're up to this? Looks a bit more serious than the usual fare.

[icanbuyafez]

Course I'm up to it! I've dealt with volcanoes before!

Well, to be fair, that one wasn't actually a volcano, and it did blow up...

[chronosexual]

Things tend to do that around you.

All right, so what kind of time are we talking, here? I've got time to pack up a few things, haven't I?

[icanbuyafez]

Hey now, it's not like I had a choice! It was Pompeii or the world...

Anyway, by the looks of things, the lava should reach the city in a few hours. I think I can hold it off for a couple more, but it's hard to tell. The TARDIS sensors aren't working as well as they should for how pressure and heat are doing down below the surface, so it's hard to predict.
