[have Sam as the happiest he has ever been. Ever. Why is he so happy? That would be because there is a mobile phone in his hand. That's right, a mobile phone, from 2006]

I was - 1973 - but 2006! The textile factory, it's - it just turns into 2006. I was - my mobile! I have my mobile back! [isn't cuddling the mobile phone. Really!] And my PC and satellite television and it's all there and the rest of Manchester is '73 but there's that little, little... pocket of 2006...

Oh, uh, Fumie? You left your glasses at my flat.

[now, back to not!cuddling the mobile phone]

[is staring at you. may or may not be drunk] So what, found yourself another plod instead of Cartwright, Tyler?

[didorothy]

[holds out mobile phone to Gene which is stupid, because the Guv breaks things, but Sam is cracktastically happy right now so he doesn't care] Mobile phone, Guv. Mobile phone. My mobile.

[looks at it, looks back at Sam...takes a swig] The hell is that supposed to be, Tyler? It can't work if you rip it out of the wall, you nonce.

[didorothy]

There are satellites that pick up the signal and transmit them to other telephones.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

Does that mean I can send you pictures?

[didorothy]

Doesn't get reception here, only in the 2006 section. I tried.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

That sucks, I would have had something nice to send you soon.

Aren't you a bit too excited to have something that doesn't work?

[didorothy]

I have had to put up with typewriters and landlines run by human operators for months now. I haven't been able to watch anything but BBC on my television and I've had to face that bloody test card girl whenever there's nothing on.

[rather clearly wearing her glasses] You got everything back? Excellent! I guess you don't totally need the glasses now but you should have them anyway so I can show you the virtual reality system.

[didorothy]

Not everything. Just a section there - the section of the textile. So I haven't woken up, it must be... I don't know what it is. Maybe I'm getting closer to waking up.

[stops the crazy ramblings] You what?

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

That'd be good, right? And if not, at least you have that.

I got you a pair of glasses! I think they'll be linked up to Manchester's network but I'm not sure. If they're not, we can probably fix that.

[didorothy]

How did you get me glasses?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

You found your lost phone?

[didorothy]

I found my lost era.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

... Which era?

[didorothy]

AD instead of BC. Two thousand and six.

[lamb_of_gold]

Congratulations?

I'm afraid I've never been particularly adept at technology...

[didorothy]

I'm just happy 'cause I haven't seen anything but typewriters and operator-run landlines for a long time.

[lamb_of_gold]

Seems you're more back in your element then.

*helpless smile* All I know is Milo's television, which gets abused on a weekly basis when everyone goes to watch Football.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

A time change of sorts... Hm.

[didorothy]

[if Gene hadn't already sucker-punched Sam's happiness] A bit of one, yeah.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[a bit of a frustrated growl, then pacing]

Rather lucky for you.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I take it you missed it, then?

((...Kay, the Doctor sort of thinks this is adorable, which disturbs me a bit. XD))

[didorothy]

A little bit, yeah.

[ooc; XD Apologies for disturbing you~?]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

You've found a little slice of heaven, then?

((XD Forgiven. For now. ;p))
