Voice [Backdated to the 1st]

[youfallback]

[Filtered to York's known allies (UNSC, Hard Harry, Phoebe, anyone who she knows York talks to regularly)]

[Carolina's tone is its usual level of authority and calm when she speaks.]

York is on a loss. He's a stuffed doll and the Castle brought him out to where I am. I'll be bringing him back as soon as possible. Should be a few days max.

Did... did you say a doll?

This filter to end

[youfallback]

[Pause.] Yes, a doll. About 10 inches tall. Fuzzy.

Ditto

[originalcopy]

York is a fuzzy doll.

[Pardon him while he fights back a snicker.]

[youfallback]

[Pardon her while she doesn't laugh at all whoops. Her voice is humorless when she responds.]

The Castle does that from time to time.

[originalcopy]

It gives you a little York doll?

[So trying not to sound like he's smirking]

[youfallback]

A year and a half ago, it did the same thing. [During a bad time when she really needed his support. She's not missing the poetry of the moment right now.]

[originalcopy]

And the castle sent him all the way out there to you.

[Certainly sounds poetic, let's hope the castle is being oddly benevolent this time.]

[youfallback]

[Carolina pauses a moment. It's pretty weird that the Castle sent him out to her, considering the Castle's track record of trying to hook them up.] It did, yes.

[originalcopy]

Then I'm sure you'll take good care of him.

[Of course if you didn't, Delta would so rat you out.]

Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

...Is he okay? Are you keeping him dry?

[She remembers what happens to dolls that get wet. Prim's homemade dolls became moldy.]

Same!

[youfallback]

Yes. I'm keeping him dry and safe. [She's not exactly who the woman on the other end is though. Her voice is certainly familiar enough, though.] Who's asking?

[youfallback]

[She's not doing it because she cares for him okay. Clearly not that.]

He'll return in one piece.

Dictated foooooreeeverrrr

[the_effect_she_has]

Okay, good. [Thank god for that. She exhaled, before frowning.] Oh ... ah ...Katniss. Everdeen. York's had my back a lot here, so, yeah.

dictated

[i_got_this]

He ended up with you? This place really hates him, doesn't it?

[originalcopy]

[Oh no heaven forbid. Just like he's only checking in out of curiosity and lols. Nope, no shits given and no cares admitted to...that's the Church way.]

Good to know.

Dictated; & hope this is ok!

[toobravehearted]

[Eyebrows going up, he should fail to be surprised any more at the castle.]

Is he... Well, I was going to ask if he is well, but obviously not. Safe though, at least...?

same!

[youfallback]

Better than leaving him with you. [Oops just a little bit of hate in her words.]

yep yep

[youfallback]

Katniss. [Huh. She's heard the name around the Castle, but it's still a little odd.] Yeah, he does that.

[Have people's backs, she means.]

[youfallback]

[Like not!father like daughter.

She pauses for a moment before asking,] Is there anything else?

Same and of course!

[youfallback]

Yes, he's safe and will be for the duration of the loss. [She knows Five's voice, met him a couple times the last time he was here. More importantly, she knows how important he is to York.]

[originalcopy]

[Hooray for dysfunctional not!family.]

No, I guess not.

[Church's tone is essentially the verbal equivalent of a shrug.]

Church

[youfallback]

[Every time they talk, she wants to ask a million questions, but she agreed to not badger him if she could see his kid back in May.

Still, she can't help but poke one in his direction,] How many losses have you been on since arriving.

Carolina

[originalcopy]

A couple.

[He doesn't mind answering questions, not that she ever actually asks questions. She makes demands for information, but he's gotten used to that.
He doesn't like it when she refuses to let him not answer a question and treats it like an interrogation.]

[toobravehearted]

[And York was - is - important to him. He doesn't give out TARDIS keys to just anyone. Not that he recalls the time he gave one to York.]

Of course, and I am sure that you are more than capable. If there is anything I can do for York while he is indisposed or anything that you might require for him... [No, he's not quite sure what, either, seeing as though it sounds like he's a plushie.] I'm aware that's likely redundant but please, don't hesitate to ask.

My apologies miss, I don't know your voice but it is not infeasible that we may have met before. Just in case, I'm the Doctor, and could I trouble you for a name?

[youfallback]

[Carolina pauses and listens to all those offers. She's not one to take help, no matter who it's offered from.]

We met a year and a half ago. My name is Carolina. [She pauses again for a moment.] I will guarantee his safety, Doctor.
