[02] Full of Ideas

[Hello, fellow residents. Have a Doctor, pacing in front of the bar. The CAT is in his hands, video turned on.]

Oi, you lot! Listen up. If your CAT says it's August, it's wrong -- June was eleven months ago. Now, either someone's been tampering with these things on purpose, or there was a bug in the programming. I'm about to find out. Might even clear up a few other things while I'm at it. I'm full of ideas about this case, got a whole list of potential suspects. If anyone wants to swap clues, come find me. Could do with a bit of company.

[filtered to Ten and Brax;]

Speaking of company, I think we ought to move in together. Bit domestic, I know, but it's...lonely, being by myself. 'Course, it's been lonely ever since I blew up Gallifrey. Er...since we blew it up? Blimey, it's odd having a self around all the time. Mind you, I think it's fantastic, even though you're annoying.

You would. And there are more important things going on, maybe later.

[frowns] Oi, you need people for your own good -- 'course, I haven't got anyone, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite. But I'd prolly get hurt 'cause of me before I got hurt 'cause of you. Never mind that you're me. Point is, you're not gonna push me away for my own good, that's just stupid.

[then the next bit hits him, and he looks thoroughly embarrassed] I didn't mean it that way! I don't wanna sleep with anyone, that usually leads to domestics. I know living with you'd be domestic too, but I'm too lonely to care at the mo'. Sleeping together would just add a whole new level of terrifying. Mind you, if there were no domestics involved, it'd be a different story. Long as you bought me a drink first, anyway.

[he wants to duct tape his mouth shut so badly right now]

But erm, yes, suspects. I'm gonna have a chat with Audrey about the CAT problem, but I'm not sure she's behind all this. My money's on Resarci or the Sheriff. Maybe Calign, but he's lower on the list.

Nope, I've made my choice. Sure, it means talking to myself a fair bit more, but that's never really stopped me before; why would it now?

Oh, Audrey! Had a lovely chat with her the other day, although... It was sort of a favour for Brax. A talk on ethics! Well, it sort of started out that way, but just like I thought, there was something wrong. Not about her ethical standpoint on things, no far from it. Only that she was concerned about someone doing something and getting into trouble. Awfully vague, I know, but she wouldn't elaborate, not even after a couple more rounds of drinks.

But I don't think what's troubling her has to do with them. I caught her not too long after the Sheriff was murdered and she seemed extremely rattled there. Granted, everyone in town is, but...there's something more there.

Now. As for Resarci and the Sheriff... I think they're hiding different things. Resarci seems more the likely suspect to me. The Sheriff...just seems like your typical detective so sure that you know something when you don't. Surprised he didn't turn on a light and shine it in my face, really.

By the way, have you seen this yet? [digs in his pocket and holds up a burnt piece of paper that should be readable over the CAT]
