TEAM ONE

[paradisamods]

Let's go, shall we?

They seem to be on a path that wraps around the side of a large, rather impressive building. The architecture is all old-fashioned, and far above them they can see the remains of balconies and windows. Once upon a time, this area might have been a walkway or something, but now it's all cracked and screwed up and destroyed. They're just going to have to make their way through the rubble best they can.

Scout's motto.

[He's already busy unhooking the crystal from his sonic screwdriver and wiring it to his watch. It doesn't take him very long.

A soon as that's done he starts timing]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Carolina glances over at the Doctor before up at those metal pipes. Who knows how hot those could be with the geysers shooting out from the wall below.]

I don't think we'll be able to use those pipes.

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Perhaps not. Not unless you've got a mess of gloves in that bag of yours.

[And, yes, he's still counting. What? He can multitask!]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

Only the pair I'm wearing. [So it looks like they'll be using that wall, but it doesn't look like they'll be able to really take their packs across. She pulls out the rope from the wall earlier, her journal, and only takes a brief look at the rest. All expendable.]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[He sees that look] You could always just turn it around and wear it in the front until you get across.

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Carolina glances up at the Doctor. He's definitely got some of the same instincts as York and that makes her grin a little.]

Nice thinking, Doctor.

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[He grins right back. He would take that as a HUGE compliment.]

Wouldn't want you to lose something you might need, later.

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

Considering what we've already faced, I wouldn't be surprised if we need anything and everything.

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[He nods] Always a good idea to have everything at our disposal, just in case.

Now then. [He steps forward, leaning close to the wall as he prepares to cross]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Carolina watches warily as he prepares to cross, setting her pack across the front of her chest, grappling gun ready. She's been saving it for an emergency and she might need it here now.]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[bobbing his head slightly as he counts, he waits for the first geyser to die down before inching forward. He stops just before the next one spurts up]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Carolina doesn't realize she's holding her breath until she feels that relief of him stopping just before that next geyser. Maybe she's just a little nervous for him. Still, she doesn't speak, not wanting to distract him from his task.]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[When that geyser dies down he inches forward, stopping right before the next one shoots up. Lather, rinse, repeat. The next geyser in, he misjudges where his feet are and the one behind him catches the edge of his boot. He flails] Whooaaah!

[He grabs hold of the closest pipe. Your prediction was right, Carolina. HOT!]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[With that, she has her grappling gun drawn, finger on the trigger, ready to use it to catch him at any moment, especially with him grabbing that pipe. She just hopes she can fire quickly enough without "wasting" a line, but she doesn't like waiting until the last minute to do anything.]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[He manages to right himself, leaning back on the wall and letting go of the pipe. He shakes his hands a little to cool them. His pain threshold is pretty high but OW]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

You alright, Doctor? [Still on edge, despite him being safe now. Her finger remains on the trigger of her grappling gun.]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[He nods, smiling crookedly at her] I'm alright, now. I was paying too much attention to where I was going and not enough to where I'd been.

[He waits for the geyser to shoot up in front of him, again, to start counting]

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[That's one way to put it and a small amount of Carolina's tension slowly starts to disappear. She finds that she's counting quietly with each bob of his head.]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

[He continues on, little by little. He manages to make it to the other side with no further incident. When he does he grins]

Have you got it? Or would like me to help you across?

[youfallback.livejournal.com]

[Carolina lets out a relieved breath at his safe arrival at the other side. ]

I got it. [It's all about counting and being patient, right?]

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

<>[Right. He shoots her an encouraging smile and watches from the other side]
