[ A scruffy woman appears on the screen. Her hair is a wild mess and her eyes are darkly blotted with eyeshadow. She rather looks like a girl that got trashed and passed out with her make-up on. Hold onto your pants - it doesn't get much better. ]
Hello! Hello? Pleasure to meet you, I'm Sexy.
No, no, that's not right. That's his name, not for you.
TARDIS! I'm Time-And-Relative-Dimension-In-Space.
No. Wait. Yes, but no. What was she called?
[ The woman ducks her head, thoughtfully, one translucent nail furiously tapping at her lower lip. Nevermind liquor, she's chattering away way too quickly. ]
Ah! Idris! You may call me Idris.
Where's my thief? Thief! Yoohoo! I know you're only ten. I know we've not met yet, but you know me, surely you do. Will. Have. Tenses! Thief? Has anyone seen my thief?

[ She is beaming. Whoever she is, she looks overjoyed to see his gobsmacked face. ]

[Actually coming around enough to put his glasses on.]

I'm on my way, but I've got to use legs for now.
video;
Oh legs. Two of them. One foot in front of the other, uh, Idris.

Though you're hardly the one to give advice on moving about normally.
video;
Oi! I can move around just fine thankyouverymuch.
[Mulling something over. It's almost uncomfortable in a small way- he doesn't know the TARDIS in this form, which means she's from his future. And considering the point he was dragged from....it's not too hard to figure out.]
How long have you been like that?
video;
Mm... About a day, I suppose? I was dying before, but they seemed to have fixed it here.
[ That's not traumatic to tell him at all, Idris. ]
How long since they snatched you up?
video;
[Eyebrows raised at that. Obviously she means something different, he won't think otherwise.]
About a week I suppose. Didn't expect my future to be running at me in a frilly dress, though.
video;
[ There is a brief apologetic smile. ]
Or maybe it doesn't, with me being here now. And you as well. Have you figured it out yet? It's been a week.
I rather like the dress, though. It's a bit old and battered and blue. Doesn't it suit me?
video;
Weeeeell, I hope it does work out. I mean that's my future you're talking about, and we need to be careful with that kind of thing. Spoilers and such. Hmm, yeah.
Actually it does suit you. Just not something I'd have thought of.

[ Okay, she doesn't really mean it. Maybe she's a little distressed about being in a squishy, small body and a mind too small for a super computer. ]
Your imagination waxes and wanes, dearest, never mind. Don't keep a girl waiting.
[ Knock knock. ]
video > action;
I'm not keeping anyone wa-
[Well, okay she's at the door. And this is somewhat nervewracking in a way. Like meeting someone's mother, but not quite in that sense. Mothers always wound up slapping him for something anyway. No, just the TARDIS, that's all.
Definitely nervewracking. At least Ten opens the door quickly enough, still with his glasses on to get a good look.]
What, no brake-noise?

This is weird. But it's a good weird. All the companions he's had over the years, yet the TARDIS has been right there from the start.]
Right then. So, this place. Fighting a war, living the life. Staying still in one place... [Ten wrinkles his nose at the last part. It's kind of gross, having to stay in one place. At least Idris will understand that. And yep, there he goes, already pulling out the sonic screwdriver to scan Idris's side. Manners, what are those?]
