[The voice you hear is dry, but made a little bit squeaky at the moment by apparent panic.  Rising and falling chirps and bursts of noise begin every time he pauses for breath between sentences.]

What? 

No, sorry, this wasn't supposed to happen, you'll all just have to... go away again.  Or I will.  One or the other.

No, this thing was definitely not supposed to do this.

[the panic gives way to a sort of resigned nervousness.]

I didn't unlock the Time Vortex, did I?

Theta? Is that you?

What did you do this time and where are we? I swear, if you pull the Universe apart-

[In the voice of someone yelling at an inanimate object, interrupted in mid-stream]

NEUTRON, NOT ARTRON! No, you reverse the --

{In a totally different voice.]

Oh, hello, Kosh! No, I'm fairly certain I didn't -- that it wasn't --

It isn't working properly yet, so really, it can't possibly have been my fault. I was just trying to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow of the laundry cognitizer.

[neverstops]

Thete.

[There's a sigh from the other half of the audio, and it's easy to tell he's rolling his eyes.]

You are going to be the end of the universe, one of these days. Just tell me where you are. Two minds are better than one, and if you're going to rip the time vortex open, you could at least invite your best friend to watch.

[allons_y_alonso]

Right. I'm in a sort of... room... residential, by the look of it... there's a lot of foreign writing everywhere... and an old type 40 capsule with a broken chameleon circuit in the closet.

[Audio]

[neverstops]

Thete, you genius. You actually did it? I thought you were just boasting grand ideas. I never thought you would actually pull it off.

Can I see it? Don't go running off without me. I'll figure out where you are.

[quixotical]

Time vortex? What is that?

[allons_y_alonso]

Oh, well the Time Vortex is a sort of...

Hang on, are you Gallifreyan?

[quixotical]

...Gallifreyan? What's that? You really seem to like to talk about strange things...

[turnedleft]

What?

[allons_y_alonso]

What?!

[turnedleft]

What is on your head?

[allons_y_alonso]

What? This? Oh, just a project of mine.

[turnedleft]

Yeah? What sort?

[chronosexual]

Time Vortex?


...Doctor? is that you?

[allons_y_alonso]

Time Vortex!

No, I'm not a Doctor of anything. Studying for mine, though.

Again.

Anyway, did you know that there's something dreadfully wrong with the matrices of your artron flow?

[chronosexual]

Hm. interesting.

My atron flow? Yeah. I'm aware. It's a bit complicated. What do you think about it? I'm not scaring you, am I?

[allons_y_alonso]

What? Scared? No, not at all.

I'm just sort of... goosebumps, all over, and a little bit of a feeling like I might lose my lunch.

[stillwaiting]

[quiet giggling - somebody is finding your distress extremely entertaining! or your squeaky, hysterical voice - one or the other.]

[voice]

[allons_y_alonso]

... Hello?

[voice]

[stillwaiting]

[The laughter immediately stops, as though she's been caught out doing something she shouldn't.]

..... What are you doing?

Re: [voice]

[allons_y_alonso]

Well, I was trying to suspend the regulator function on the laundry cognitizer.

Now I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing.

Did. What I did.

[misery-chic.livejournal.com]

No, but you sure did give it a good going-over.

[allons_y_alonso]

Really?

[misery-chic.livejournal.com]

Of course. I'm not just saying that to be nice.

[allons_y_alonso]

Oh. Well. That's very... Not Good, then.
