So I think I figured out how fast the Weeping Angels move.

If you take the speed of the average human blink, which is about 300 to 400 milliseconds, and then you work in how much distance they cover in that time, which I sort of guessed at cause of all the people talking about how fast they move in the voice posts and stuff, then you put it together and do a bunch of stuff I won't explain cause most folks won't really know what I'm saying, you can figure out how fast you gotta be to get away before they can get to you but still be able to blink while doing it!



See? I think that's right. And cause not everybody knows math, that just means that you got to move about 15 feet per millisecond if you want to stay ahead of them and still blink regular. You can just double that, if you blink slower, and even double it again if you blink even slower than that!

Now I'm gonna figure out how much voltage it's gonna take to make the Daleks' shields come down for good.

[ooc: as always, zoe is a math genius. i? am not. ergo, we are pretending that the equation i just randomly picked and used, does all the crap she says it will. yay suspension of disbelief! ♥]

[The PDA turns on to the sound of someone sucking in a sharp breath. The voice is clearly feminine, and obviously confused.]

Hello? Is anyone here? [footsteps] Hello? Eugene? Maximus? [a pause, the voice gets smaller sounding] Mother? [nearly a shout now] Hello?!

[scurrying sounds and the girl lets out a soft sigh]

Oh, good. Pascal. There you are. Now we just need to figure out where we are. [a pause, the sound of pages of a book being looked through] This is very strange. [another pause then she sounds a bit excited] Oh! The castle! Of course! We must be in some part of the castle! I guess I fell asleep and then we...

[Her voice trails off as the telltale sounds of the guards coming to life can be heard.]

Guards! Look, Pascal! Real, actual castle guards! Hello there! Would you help me, please? I seem to have lost my guide. [a pause] And my horse. [another pause] Well, he isn’t really my horse. But he’s a very nice horse and he was helping me and [her voice starts to sound panicked] wait. What are you doing? Don’t touch me! No!

[there’s the sound of a scuffle, then a loud twang of metal hitting metal; the woman’s voice next attempts to sound tough but definitely is lacking any real oomph behind it]

That’s right! I have a frying pan and I’m not afraid to use it again! Don’t you dare come any closer! Don’t you- [the struggling sounds increase, with the woman now grunting in frustration before speaking up once more about the time the doors can be heard opening]

Wait! Where are you taking me? No! I don’t want to leave! Please. I just want to-

[Her voice trails off as she’s dropped on the ground. A few seconds later, when she speaks, it’s obvious she’s much closer to the PDA than she was before.]

Is this a gift? Oh, and I don’t have anything for you! I’m very sorry. I [a pause] Wait! Where are you going? Wait! [the doors shut and the only sound that follows is tiny fists banging on the doors in an attempt to get them opened again]

[ A second PDA clicks into the conversation, the sound of the doors being closed shut echoing right along with it as Flynn glances around, a sudden squeak coming as he spots the knights, the sound of a back hitting a shelf of books proceeding a second voice ringing into the situation. ] Oh. Hey guys. Hey. I was just... All right. I’m not sure what I was just since I seem to have gotten lost or skipped some time somewhere, but I’m pretty sure I was not aiming to end up in here this time. I mean! At all. Not aiming to end up in here, at ALL. So I’m sure we can come to an understanding about this clearly very understandable mistake. Right? Right.

[ pause at the sound of the guards advancing before Flynn asks the question again, even less uncertain than before. ] Right?

Oooookay. I guess not... So. Bye! [ the sound of a struggle follows, metal clanging together, things being knocked off shelves, possibly even the sound of a shelf being knocked over, all accompanied by a sound of someone running and muttering to himself ] How in the world do I-- Where is the-- Oh. Okay. That’s obvi- [ another sudden yelp ] Let go! Let go! I haven’t even DONE anything this time! I haven’t--

[ the door opens and Flynn yelps again, this time in pain. ] And then someone punches me in the face. Wonderful.

[There's a brief moment of silence, save for the obvious sounds of all sorts of chaotic things happening in the distance, then Rapunzel lets out a happy squeal.]

Eugene! There you are! [there's a bit of shuffling, fabric brushing against fabric, as she hugs him] Were you in there too? I didn't see you. Just the guards. Weren't they amazing?! They even gave me a gift! Look!

[another pause then, curiously with a touch of concern]

Where's Maximus? Wasn't he with you? Oh! Of course. He wouldn't be in the castle, would he? [she laughs lightly]

Well come on! Let's go find hi- [she immediately stops speaking as she finally turns around and notices the city; for a second, she's silent, then she squeaks in fear]

[ Even as he’s rubbing his nose and gets caught offguard by the hug, the most audible part of his reaction is a sigh of relief at actually realizing that he’s not here by himself followed by a much less...discernible sigh. ] At least we didn’t get arrested. Whatever that was.

[ Moving his eyes up and away from her when she froze as she turned, he followed suit, not really sure how to react to right now, but decided that being scared wasn’t really an option right now ] This...is not the kingdom. This is- What is this?

( There's a sound like electricity hitting something and dissipating and then a small explosion. Sounds of fighting can be heard. There's a sharp gasp and Neria speaks. )

By the Maker...what are you creatures? Why couldn't I remember you before? ( another crackling of dispelled electricity, and Neria sounds frustrated but determined. ) It is no matter. You will die all the same.

( There are more sounds of fighting, heavy breathing and metal hitting something. Occasionally there's a loud blast of fire or cracking like ice shattering as Neria uses various elemental spells against the Silents she's fighting. There is the occasional pained sound as a Silent gets a hit past her shields )

I swear by Andraste, I will not allow you to go free and harm others! ( there is more fighting and then one of the Silents speak )

What will you do? We are many, and you are alone and weak.

( It's quiet for a moment, save for Neria's breathing, and then she speaks, sounding resolved )

I may alone...but I am by no means weak. ( a pause, then very quietly ) Maker guide me...

( Suddenly there is a huge explosion of magic, then the PDA cuts out abruptly )
