[015: Video]

[And the Barge is treated to the image of a wide-eyed, obviously quite terrified child, wearing what resembles gallifreyan robes.] Where am I? Are you aliens? [And somehow those eyes manage to get even wider] Did you kidnap me? [The boy swallows.] That... That's n-not a good idea, 'cause my parents will be terribly angry and they'll come after you! [Wait, it's probably not a good idea to threaten them.] And that would be bad, right? So... Why don't bring me back home? [He looks around.] Is Peylix here, too? [Peylix, help --no, no, he doesn't want Peylix to be kidnapped!] If... If so, I demand you let him go! [That last sentence is oddly self-confident. It doesn't stop him from going back to looking terrified seconds after.]

Previously stated reasons. [Just think about how many years it would take for a Gallifreyan to lose count!]

Did I do that? Kept you in the dark?

No, that's why I was overwhelmed.

Then why don't you do the same thing to me? I'm even asking you to.

Because vengeance doesn't interest me?

I wouldn't punch you in face if you asked me to either.

...I -- I'm not asking you to punch me. I'm asking you to explain what is going on. Being overwhelmed can hardly be worse than not knowing, right?

If I believed that I would have simply told you and simply because it's not an overt violent act doesn't mean it's not harmful.

How can it be so terrible that you make such a fuss? I just... [He shrugs again and then climbs onto one of the chairs.] I'm scared.

It's not terrible, so much as a lot. Not so bad in retrospect, but impossibly difficult from your perspective. I can't believe it sometimes. But you shouldn't be afraid. Here and now, the future, isn't important. Time won't pass, I won't and likely neither will you, notice you're missing.

But I'm scared of this place. It's so... When I... I woke up here, I first thought this is my father's study, but there was the harp and all the sheet music and when I looked out the door, there was just that corridor... You talked about this Admiral, but I don't understand how that is possible? Is... Is this one of the tests? Is that why you won't tell? Because there is nothing to tell?

It's a fiction, so to make you more comfortable. The room, I mean. And no, it's not a test.

How would father's room make me more comfortable? And how can I believe it's not a test when I don't understand what is going on one bit?

Because it's not you yet. And fine, believe what you wish, it makes no difference to the truth of it.

[...D:] I'll find my father's room comforting one day? [But I'm not going to become him, right? Please?]

No, it's just 'like' your father's room. It's where you do your work. But. Given how strange this ship is, something familiar is comforting.

[He's not quite sure why he would model his own study after his father's, but, well. If Omega is so adamant about it, it's probably true.] ...Can I see the rest of the ship?

Yes, if you like.

[He smiles.] Wonderful! [It's not like anything could happen to him, as long as Peylix is there to protect him, right?]

{OOC: Open log/Spam Post or just them exploring?}

[Omega immediately smiled back at him, unable to help himself.] Well, we're on level five of eight.

[Up to you.]

Well, then, let's go! [And there he goes, grabbing Peylix's hand.]

{Open spam it is!}
