[ By the time she figures out how to actually get it onto video, she's calmed down a lot. In fact you'd be forgiven for thinking that Laura doesn't really mind being here at all. ]

So, question:

[ She looks around for a moment, then back at the communicator. Her brows furrow slightly, but she still looks somewhat casual about the whole thing. It's a look she's working hard for. . ]

What exactly is going on here? Because this sure as hell isn't where I parked my car.

Woah, woah, no one has mentioned monsters. What the hell? Where are the monsters coming from?

[ video ]

[noblexcompanion]

Well, it was more wolves and scary big cats. Dunno where they came from but most of 'em are gone now. I wouldn't go off alone in the woods though - just in case...

Pretty sure I saw some lava monsters and some giant rhinos too. [ Those may've been hallucinations though... ]

[facilitated]

No one mentioned monsters!

[ This is so not what she signed up for. Not that she signed up for anything, but even so she's still backpedalling. It's perfectly understandable to be freaked out by this, right? Because Laura is kind of starting to panic at this point. ]

How do you even fight lava monsters? And rhinos are big enough, I don't want giant ones! How do you survive here?

[noblexcompanion]

[ Being freaked out is a very natural reaction. Donna frowns at the questions. ]

Water pistols? And run like hell and hide?

[ video ]

[facilitated]

I don't have water pistols! Is there a supply somewhere? [ She's not normally one to scare so easy, but something about this is definitely setting her on edge. ] Hiding, hiding sounds good, that's smart.

[ video ]

[noblexcompanion]

Um... actually, I haven't seen any water pistols.

Hiding is definitely the best idea.

[ video ]

[facilitated]

No water pistols, crap just-

[ Okay, she's fine. She can calm herself down, it'll just take a minute. She breathes in and out slowly, and then nods sharply at the communicator. ] Alright, hiding spot. Where's good here, that lighthouse?

[ video ]

[noblexcompanion]

Rumour is it's haunted. I've never been myself though.

[ Donna! Really not helping the situation. ] Probably best just to hide in one of the houses!

[ video ]

[facilitated]

Not the lighthouse then, okay, God. [ No, not helping, not at all. ] But what about the people in the houses, can they be trusted?

[ video ]

[noblexcompanion]

Maybe? The ones I've met seem mostly nice.

You could always find an empty house and board yourself up in it...

[ video ]

[facilitated]

There's empties? Yeah, going to find one of them. [ As in, right now. The communicator starts to shake as she walks while talking to her. ] Alright, there's gotta be boards and stuff around here too, right?

[ Yeah, so maybe she's taking boarding up a little literally. ]

[ video ]

[noblexcompanion]

You could always use floor boards... Just make sure you don't board the monsters up inside with you...

[ video ]

[ Oh my God Donna, really not helping now. Telling the freaked out teenager being dose with a healthy helping of paranoia about the monsters that may or may not get trapped with her? Worst idea ever. ]

How do I keep them out? Christ I can't fight things, I'm gonna get gutted by giant rhinos!

[ video ]

[noblexcompanion]

[ Of course she's helping! Totally the best help. ]

Try to stay calm. As far as I know there has only bee minimal gutting so far.

[ video ]

[facilitated]

Well that's just great isn't it. Thank God for minimal gutting!

[ video ]

[noblexcompanion]

See? Look at the positives!

[ video ]

[facilitated]

Minimal is so not a positive, Jesus.

[ video ]

[noblexcompanion]

It's better than everyone being gutted, right?

[ video ]

[facilitated]

Barely better. It's all bad.
