[ video - backdated to Day 76 ]

[noblexcompanion]

[ Donna looks and sounds exhausted. ] Is everyone safe and sound and in one piece? So much for the epic plan to get us all home... Speaking of which, has anyone seen the Doctor? He disappeared. Like, literally, vanished...

Maybe it worked? Maybe he got outta here. I reckon it's more likely our not so pleasant hosts snatched his skinny butt though...

Does anyone need plasters or bandages or tea?

[noblexcompanion]

Don't... don't say that... [ Donna doesn't even want to think of that possibility. ]

He'll be back...

[primogen_vampirate]

Darling, the odds are that our captors have him.

And if he did escape. Well. Would you come back?

[noblexcompanion]

They can't keep him forever... [ Well, they probably can, but that's beside the point... ]

And if he escaped, he'd find a way to rescue everyone else. He would. I know him. Whatever crazy was going on in that head of his wasn't him.

[primogen_vampirate]

You believe the best in people, don't you?

[noblexcompanion]

I try to see the best in people where I can, yes.

But I know him and that... wasn't him. Not really.

[primogen_vampirate]

Mm. Well, I wouldn't be so sure of that. When it comes to blokes I fancy...they all turn out wrong.

[noblexcompanion]

He's a good man...

[primogen_vampirate]

At best, then, he's gone.

[noblexcompanion]

I hope he's safe and not getting tortured...

[primogen_vampirate]

Hope for the best. Expect the worst.

[noblexcompanion]

I just wish he hadn't gone into this all guns blazing...

[primogen_vampirate]

It's what men do. Even the most enlightened of them.

[noblexcompanion]

I suppose that's true...

[primogen_vampirate]

We have no choice but to carry on...

Don't we?

[noblexcompanion]

I suppose feeling sorry for ourselves won't fix anything.

[primogen_vampirate]

Of course not.

[A pause. Mina's tone gets very quiet.]

I did fancy him, you know. A lot. I should know better by now.

[noblexcompanion]

For the record he's not usually such a jerkbutt...

[primogen_vampirate]

Jerkbutt?

[noblexcompanion]

... It's the first thing I thought of.

[primogen_vampirate]

[She laughs softly.]

Fair enough.

[noblexcompanion]

But seriously. He's mad and manic and crazy, but he's usually a pretty decent bloke.

[primogen_vampirate]

Then I hope he's being decent far from here.

[noblexcompanion]

If he is, you can bet he's already figuring out some master plan to get everyone else home too. It's kind of what he does.

[primogen_vampirate]

He may not remember.

[noblexcompanion]

He's the Doctor. He won't forget us.
