[ John's face is visible for a brief second before he turns it towards the police box in his living room. ]

Everyone remember this? Well, yesterday I got an Echo, and I woke up this morning to find this in the lock.

[ And he holds up a key in front of the screen. When he turns it back to himself again, he's grinning, waving the key excitedly by the side of his face. Finally it's here! It's like he's a kid on Christmas day. ]

Naturally, I've already gone inside, and it's really brilliant. I'd say I was right guessing it's a time machine in disguise. Here, let me show you.

[ He turns the phone back towards the police box as he approaches it, and sticks the key into the lock. The door is pulled open (in contrast to his past self who always pushes it, but he doesn't know that - the sign says "pull to open" after all).

What's inside, is this. He steps inside and moves the phone to show every corner of the room. There's a coat hanger and chairs and everything. ]

Bigger on the inside! It's exactly like I remember it from a memory I got too. It's almost frightening.

[ He practically skips over to the console. ]

I'll have to admit, I couldn't resist pressing buttons and flicking switches, but either there's a lock on the controls or it's not functional yet. Maybe that'll come later. I have figured this out, though. Look.

[ The screen turns towards the doors while he flicks a switch, and they close. There's a brief glimpse of him flicking said switch again to open it. Here's his face again. ]

As a child, I always dreamed of having something like this. Of course, I never actually thought I'd have it. It's a bit like being ten again.

[ ANYWAY. Clearing his throat and trying to sober some. And failing. He's just really, really giddy. ]

So there you have it. Confirmed. There's no other conclusion I can make, anyway. Hopefully I'll be able to put it to the test someday.

Have a good day, everyone!

[ Cheerful wave, and he stops the recording. ]

That is amazing!

You giving tours yet?

There's nothing else to see, really.

Just because you see a video doesn't mean you can't want to see it in person.

Besides. How many chances am I going to get to go inside a time machine, even if it's not working yet?

Hmmm.

[ He actually hasn't thought about it. Is he "giving tours?"

Not sounding all that keen, for the moment. ]

Better before it does work, right?

[[c'mooon, let him gawk at it? Pleeeeaaase?]]

[So it is still in his living room. She kind of meant to ask about that when they talked about it before.]

Congratulations! :) How'd you get it?

Snake statues, I think ...

You too? Between those and the Keys, I guess I should be glad we get compensated for the danger. :|

Rather nice of them, isn't it?

[Alex looks almost as excited.]

Oh, wow! It's all, like, retro science-fictiony, nee!

[SO AWESOME]

Any idea what the machine-zuh are doing, or are they just looking computer-y for now?

[ He's back in the living room now, because it's still somewhat overwhelming to be in it. ]

No clue. All I have worked out is the door switch.

What'll you do when it starts working-ing?

[He has complete faith that it will, eventually.]

I haven't the faintest idea.

Okay, that's just plain cool! Gaining functionality later seems probable. People seem to get back items unpowered first off, from what little I can tell.

Well, then.

I suppose I probably shouldn't touch more buttons until I know how to use this thing.

[ Now that he's calmed down he realises that was actually pretty. Dumb. ]

Edited 2014-01-29 18:51 (UTC)

Possibly not. You're not sure when it might gain more functionality, after all. I suppose echoing back a control manual might be a bit much to hope for, too.

I wonder if I'd even properly understand a control manual. Depends how advanced this thing is.

im jealous.

I'd be too if it wasn't me.

can i ride in it once you figure out how it works?

Maybe.

[ Probably not. It really depends. ]

[Doc, you get the best echos. It's not even fair.]

Whoa! That's amazing!

[ He has been fairly lucky. Although he could have skipped the pain with that second heart. ]

Isn't it? It's like being in a sci-fi movie.

Can I come by and see?

[ Hesitant pause. ]

I'm still trying to decide if I want to let people do that just yet.
