The smokey, warm home of the wood miners guild. This is a thriving secondary industry, with the center of town being devoted to an elevator that descends into a large cavern in which a strange form of fungus grows that possesses many of the same traits of wood. The majority of the town works at some job related to the Rhook fungus, either in the mining or the processing of it. They build and sell beautiful Rhook furniture, carts, and other wood-based paraphernalia here. A number of auctions are held here, with the items often bearing a smokey scent or bit of ash - explained as having been recovered from the ashes of a recent fire.

All visitors must report to their customs entry, an easy diversion given that it is the only entry into the town. Provision of an adequate gift will result in their tin visa being stamped with a series of lines that looks like the rings of a tree. The police here are marginally more relaxed about proof of identification, but they are sharply on the lookout for arson and any property-related crimes. There is a smokey scent hanging in the air and a whole section of the city is little more than a warm, charred cinder. Questions about this earn the explanation of a dark mindset overcoming half the residents of that area only two months back and it worsened quickly into strife. One night, the area went up in flames and many of the residents perished with their homes and nearly the whole town was lost. Since then, they have been careful about fires and changes in personality both, with many residents currently residing in jail until their foul tempers dissipate.

[A small nod. This place is totally different from the last one they had been to, so he can see Tony's point. Who knows if they'll see this place again.]

Kind of makes you wish there were cameras about, or something. It would be nice to take some photos.
definingfuture: (T - Just smile for the paparazzi dear.)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2013-12-16 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tony does have good points. Even when he's obnoxious, he does try to be logically obnoxious.]

I have a camera. And video, but we'd need equipment to play it back. Full digital. Not much good in a place where people hate technology.
pandoricas: (I need a moment.)

[personal profile] pandoricas 2013-12-17 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Rory is used to logical obnoxiousness by now. Even if its from a different sort of way.]

A camera would be good enough. [Shrugs.] Like you said, not much for video if we can't play it.
definingfuture: (T - You did what with the pole?)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2013-12-19 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You give up too easily, you know? You want pictures but don't have a camera. I tell you I have video and you say you can't play it. What are you going to display the pictures on, exactly? It's all digital.

Not much point would have killed civilization as we know it if we stopped there.

[Is there a point to that? No. Not particularly. Tony just doesn't like the mindset. It's counter-productive to advancement and progress, which he is always about. Giving up or settling just aren't options for a Stark.]

[personal profile] pandoricas 2013-12-20 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Rory blinks, surprised by the response, but in a way it kind of reminds him of the Doctor - because the Doctor never really gives up either, even though it doesn't directly concern him. And, well. He can see where Tony is getting at.]

It was just a thought. [Blinks again.] But, uh, I can see where you're coming from.
definingfuture: (Tony - I never sleep.)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2013-12-20 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well?

[He wait expectantly. Not eagerly, but with an actual calm expectation. Rory seems to be catching on, albeit a bit more slowly than Tony would like, but he's apparently reaching the end of that thought train. The businessman, the individual whose soul always strives to improve what is, won't let him off the hook that easily.

Well? He has the option to get what he needs. What's he going to do about it?]
pandoricas: (is that so?)

[personal profile] pandoricas 2013-12-20 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well-- [Well. What does he say? Rory just kind of speaks the first thing that comes to his mind.] --do you have a video camera with you right now?
definingfuture: (Tony - I've got a great idea.)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2013-12-25 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. [He grins. That part is easy enough.] I can record right now if you want.
pandoricas: (I need a moment.)

[personal profile] pandoricas 2013-12-26 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[You superheros and your... things. Rory will never get used to that.]

Uh. Okay, sure. [Maybe he should record a message for Amy? That sounds like an idea.]
definingfuture: (T - Oh precious you have no idea.)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2014-01-02 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. [Tony grins, letting the lens modifications cover his eyes. It's almost like wearing contacts, except these contacts enhance his vision and carry input to his electronic memory in the armor.]

You want to record this place? Have anything important you want to say?
pandoricas: (I need a moment.)

[personal profile] pandoricas 2014-01-03 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a blink at the... stuff. More fancy electronic stuff. The Doctor would have been very interested, but it mostly flies by Rory's head. As long as it doesn't kill him, he's good.

There's a pause in where Rory looks like he wants to say something, and then he raises a hand.]
I--yes, I suppose. [Yes. This will work.]
definingfuture: (T - I'm still awake.)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2014-01-03 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes?

[Tony tilts his head. He looks at Rory curiously, like he's not quite following what's going on.]

That's it? Just yes?
pandoricas: (looking left.)

[personal profile] pandoricas 2014-01-03 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[What, were you expecting something smart?

--but anyway.]


No, no, that's not what I wanted to say. [Waves off in a very Doctor-like manner. Yeah, okay, so maybe a bit of him has rubbed off on Rory. Not that he's here to see it.] Sorry. Can we try that again?
definingfuture: (Tony - I've got a great idea.)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2014-01-03 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes. Yes, he was.]

Shoot. Any time you're ready, boss. We're live now.

[He thinks it's kind of amusing, but he does feel for Rory. The guy is too serious for his own good.]
pandoricas: (after the storm.)

[personal profile] pandoricas 2014-01-03 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just because he was plastic once doesn't mean he becomes smart, y'know.]

Right. [Awkward cough, and Rory attempts to straighten himself. It doesn't really work.] So, uh--Amy, if you're watching this, I'm going to assume its because you're here now and I'm not here. Or something.

[That kind of happens quite a bit.]

Anyway. I hope you're okay, when you're watching this. This whole... turtle thing is pretty weird, but the you get to see stuff like this and its not that bad at all. But I guess its not as good as travelling in the TARDIS, in the end.

[A pause, and Rory rubs the back of his neck.] --I'm alright, in case you're wondering. Busy, usually, but alright. I haven't died, which is nice, so you don't need to worry about that, either. I can take care of myself. So just have fun, yeah? [Smiling now.] Love you.

[And yeah okay, he's done. Rory flashes a thumbs up at Tony now to show it, too.]
definingfuture: (T - And this fucking thing.)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2014-01-04 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, there's nothing quite like a guy giving his honest and heartfelt message to a girl he likes to make you feel like an asshole. Lover, it sounds like. Maybe more. Tony waits for a few seconds and then nods.]

Amy, huh? Let's hope we never actually have to play this back, but I have it in case we need it.

[He taps the side of his head with a finger.]

It's better than just writing a letter, anyway. This stop off... it's nice. It's worth remembering. You'll have a little extra to show her if she shows up.

[Trusting Tony to carry that kind of message bothers him a little. Is it really a good idea? Well, no helping that now.]
pandoricas: (looking left.)

[personal profile] pandoricas 2014-01-04 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a small nod from Rory in agreement.]

Yeah... me too. [He knows that Amy can handle herself, but he still worries, nevertheless. He'll never stop worrying about her, really - its just how he is.

Anyway, since Tony did take the time and effort to help him, Rory gives him a smile and inclines his head properly.]
And, uh--thanks a lot. For doing that. It's really nice of you.
definingfuture: (T - You did what with the pole?)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2014-01-07 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not, but you're welcome anyway.

[Tony waves the thanks off. It's actually a bigger deal than he expected, leaving messages to someone who may or may not arrive to receive them, but he's never been the type to acknowledge those deep sentiments. They're too fragile, too important for him to touch. The most he can do is keep them safe and leave them in the hands of those who deserve them. That's always been his way.]

Does Amy have a last name, in case she picks up a mailing address here?
pandoricas: (towards tomorrow.)

[personal profile] pandoricas 2014-01-08 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. [Right. Rory didn't think about that... then again, he didn't really think this was going to happen, either.]

Amy. Amy Willams. Or Pond, whichever she prefers more.
definingfuture: (T - And this fucking thing.)

[personal profile] definingfuture 2014-01-09 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if I run into an Amy Williams-Pond I'll let her know I have your message. And if we're lucky, you can tell her yourself.

[It's a safeguard for someone at least. A little bit he can give.]
pandoricas: (spying with my little eye.)

[personal profile] pandoricas 2014-01-09 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm hoping more that I don't have to tell her at all, or you don't need to show this message ever. But thanks, anyway.

[He doesn't really want to think what it'd be like if Amy did come here.]
