003 | Chuck Shurley | Day 93

[ Good evening, Kore! Amidst all of the new arrivals that have been showing up is a familiar face. Or, well, it would be a familiar face if he hadn't been missing for about three weeks.

Chuck Shurley is standing on the edge of town, looking completely baffled and confused. Like he'd just found himself there without knowing how or why, and so he just... stopped walking. He's tired and he's sore and honestly, he doesn't feel all that great. All he wants to do is crawl into bed and sleep for a few days. He rubs his forehead and he blinks down at the communicator at his wrist for a few seconds. ]

So I, uh... I think I was just kidnapped? By... the scientists?

[ And if he sounds unsure, it's only because he is. It's like trying to remember a dream he had years ago - everything's all fuzzy. ]

[ Oh my god, Donna, those are a lot of questions and Chuck has a serious headache right now. He squints down at her in confusion, because what? Probing? Lobotomies? ]

What? No. No, they didn't... I mean, I don't remember much. I don't know what's real and what I just made up, you know? It's all... fuzzy.

Are your marbles still all intact? Or are some missing?

Uh, mostly? I mean, I don't remember being kidnapped. I was just... here and now I'm back, you know?

Count yourself lucky then! Well, not lucky because you were still kidnapped which isn't lucky at all... anyway! My best mate, right? Yeah. He was kidnapped and he came back bonkers. Probably because he's not human or sommat. I dunno. Or maybe because he tried to escape and pissed them off...

Oh.

[ He frowns because escape attempt sounds familiar to him. He remembers having a meeting about an escape attempt, but not much after that. ]

He's that British guy, right? Or, uh. Not guy, I guess.

The Doctor, yeah. He came back cuckoo.

You have all your limbs intact, right? All digits accounted for?

[ He gives a nod. He doesn't remember much from the one conversation he and the Doctor had, but he hadn't seemed like a bad guy. ]

Is he alright now?

[ He thinks he would have remembered missing a limb or a finger, but she mentions it and he can't help but check, just to be sure. ]

Yeah, I've uh. I think the only thing I'm missing is my memory of what happened, you know?

The Doctor's as sane as he's ever going to be, I think.

And I'm glad all your digits are intact. Is there anything you need? Tea? Someone to make sure you get home safely?

[ He nods. That means that any lasting effects from being kidnapped and potentially tested on isn't permanent. That's good to know. ]

Uh, yeah, I'm... beer, actually, not tea, but yeah. I've got it covered.

Thank you, though. I appreciate it, I really do.

Don't mention it. If you need anything at all, you just yell. Alright?

[ Aren't you proud, Chuck? One of the little selfish, self-obsessed, self-absorbed little humans has bloomed into something quite caring! ]

[ So very, very proud. There are reasons, after all, why he loves humans so much. This is one of them.

He nods, grinning a bit. ]

Yes ma'am.

[ She shoots him a last fond smile before cutting the feed. ]
