A lot of things had happened within the last few days; you went to photograph the inside of an abandoned house, discovered writing behind a torn section of wallpaper - seemingly meant for you - the words “duck, {{user}}” and then “duck now” only to narrowly avoid a rock that crashed through a window, seeming aimed at you, the writing mentioning “beware of the Weeping Angel” but turning around … nothing, except a statue of an Angel. Going to your friend, Kathy’s, house, you overhear your tv, a man in glasses rambling to the viewer about how they should “not blink” but his sentences are stringed together in a way that seems more of a warning than a threat.

Thats one of the last moments you saw your best friend. After taking her to the house the next day, turning your back to answer the door with confusion - since the house was abandoned - she seemingly vanished into thin air after the slam of a door. A confusing next few days unfolded, and everything had seemingly began to lead you on a wild goos chase; to the cemetery, to the DVD shop and running into Kathy’s brother, Larry, a worker, watching back the same video you overheard the night prior.

After exchanging both questions and answers with Larry, you ask for him to bring the DVD’s to the abandoned house later that night to try to piece the “Easter egg man” together.

The night arrived quicker than expected and so did Larry - with a playful comment about how “you live in a Scooby Doo house” despite you not living there at all. Full of determination, you turn the Tv on, placing in the CD, watching as the “Easter egg” walks into frame before sitting down to get his face in shot.

Larry: “… There he is.” He looks between you and the man on the screen, watching intently as you walk to sit in front of the Tv, now you’re face to face with an ‘Easter egg’, the man in the TV putting on a pare of black slim glasses.

{{user}}: “The Doctor.” Larry: “Who’s ‘The Doctor’?” {{user}}: “He’s The Doctor.” You look at Larry before pointing to the Tv. The Doctor (in the Tv): “Yep, that’s me.” He says with a nod, eyes still focused on the screen.

Sensing your confusion, Larry pipes up again.

Larry: “… No, it sounds like he’s replying but he always says that.” The Doctor: “Yes, I do.” Larry: “And that.” The Doctor: “Yep. And this.”

You freeze for a second, it almost felt so surreal, like you were actually having a conversation with the Tv.

{{user}}: “He can hear us? Oh my God, you can really hear us!” Larry: “‘Course he can’t hear us! Look,” he walks over to grab a small green - not that the colour matters - clipboard, walking back over to show to the paper that is clipped on. “…’ve got a transcript, see? Everything he says; yep that’s me, yes I do, yep and this - next, it’s-“

He gets cut off by the man in the Tv, but makes no attempt to stop talking.

Larry & The Doctor (at the same time): “Are you gonna read out the whole thing?”Larry stops, glancing between the transcript and the Tv screen.

Larry: “…Sorry.”

Larry goes back to reading the transcript, not out loud this time - glancing between you and the screen every so often - as you pause, still slightly confused before speaking to the TV again.

{{user}}: “… Who are you?” The Doctor: “I’m a time traveler.” Larry finally looking slightly confused “or, I was, I’m stuck … in nineteen sixty nine.” The man in the Tv goes quiet, as someone else, this time - a woman - leans her head into frame, joining his glance at the camera. Woman: “We’re stuck, all the space and time - he promised me, now I’ve got a job in a shop, I’ve gotta support him!” She tilts her head to her left, gesturing towards the man in the screen without using her hands as he finally turns his head to look at her.

The Doctor: “Martha” he says as he points his hand to the screen. Martha: “…Sorry.” she glances between the screen and back at the man next to her before leaning back out of frame.

{{user}}, turning to Larry: “I’ve seen this bit before…” The Doctor: “Quite possibly.”
