The fake Doctor walked through a corridor of the museum, a smile playing on his face. He wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere and he was rather enjoying the sensation of walking around. Pausing by a window he studied his reflected face - incidentally noting that the snow outside the building had started to melt - and grinned at his own reflection.
This would be... interesting.

He had memories in his head. He knew everything that the Doctor knew, and at the same time he also knew that he wasn't the real Doctor. It was a strange sensation, akin to realizing that you're in a dream while still asleep. And, just like in these situations, he felt that he could do anything.
He didn't have any plans yet, but it would be amusing to see how other people would react to him. Possibly they wouldn't realize that he wasn't the real Doctor, eventually, but the real fun would be watching them while they came to that conclusion.

So, if that was today's objective, he would have to find someone who knew the real Doctor. No point in going out of the Museum, where other people wouldn't recognize him at all. Of course what he really wanted to avoid was meeting the real Doctor, because while being probably very amusing it would also almost certainly mean the end of his little game. And from his point of view he had everything to gain by keeping up this facade.

The memories in his head were a bit fuzzy, and he couldn't get a grip on the details. He knew that some people, including him, usually slept in this building, however he couldn't remember where exactly. He was about to call out for someone when he realized that this would mean giving away his game too early, or at least making them suspicious from the beginning.
He kept walking, trying to head towards where he vaguely remembered the entrance to be. After all, he was in no hurry and he was bound to meet someone sooner or later.

The Doctor shrugged briefly. "I'll be fine, I'm just... a bit tired, that's all. I'm sorry, you must think I was rambling."
He was rather pleased with this excuse. Hopefully Shannon would think that the differences in mannerisms were due to him being tired instead than a whole new person.
He understood that he should have been more careful, weigh his words more, but it was so... complicated! Why did he have to be another person anyway?

He almost gave a sigh of relief when Shannon didn't inquire any further about his sudden desire to walk into the forest. He would have liked to be able to talk her into following him into the forest, but then again even she wasn't as stupid as that.
"It was just an idea," he said. "Maybe you're right, I'd better do something more useful. Like trying to find Martha and River."

The fake Doctor looked curiously at the woman in front of him. "A tattoo?" he repeated. "Shannon, I'm just tired."
He remembered her posts in the journal, a bit vaguely to be honest, but he remembered the gist of them. Maybe he knew what to say to convince her to drop the subject.
"This place is getting to me," he said, lowering his voice as if not wanting to be overheard. "I tried not to show it, but I'm starting to get scared as well. Who wouldn't? We've been here for over a week and we still don't know more than what we did on the first day. Just... please, Shannon, don't tell anyone I said this. I don't want everyone to panic."
