[To all new residents AND Miss Verita]

Everyone, I could use a second, or third or fourth, mind on something.

I tried to follow up with the Mayor to see about getting an appointment - it's one of the last things I did before the gas. I got a message back from Miss Osculia, saying "due to an unexpected situation in town, the mayor is again tied up with ensuring the safety of the town and unable to make any further appointments this week".

Now, I hope I'm not over thinking it, but is that not strange? The regular residents don't seem concerned about the 'fog' at all, and the 'murder' is behind bars. I can't imagine that the loss of doctor Resarci rates so seriously.

Miss Verita, or anyone else, do you happen to have any idea of what this new 'unexpected situation' threatening the town might be?
Seeing as we're all currently residents here, whatever it is concerns us too.

[when the Doctor's CAT turns on, he's making faces at himself in what appears to be a full-length mirror, and in the background are several other suits, ties--anything for the modern, well-dressed man, apparently. to his normal pinstripe suit, he's added a dark brown vest and is just adding a pearl tie pin to a blue cravat in this style. a change in fashion ideal isn't the only thing that's different. instead of his normal Estuary English accent, he's speaking a bit...differently, in what some may recognise as a standard RP accent.]

This is all terribly curious! New face, new hands--[touches his face now]--new nose and hair. But despite that, I don't remember regenerating. Perhaps a body swap...? No, no, no, with whom, though? I don't recognise this Time Lord otherwise, nor is his mind telling me anything I need to know. Not unless he's... Hmm. [makes a final face to himself, pays for his new wardrobe additions, and smiles as he heads outside.]

And never mind this town, of course! It's very...small-town New England, except that library across the square sticks out like a sore thumb! [a pause as he has a look around him, turning in a circle, the additional height somewhat advantageous] Actually, quite a lot about this town does when I really look at it. How odd...

Now I wonder where Lucie and the TARDIS have gotten to. Can't have gone far.
