[the voice that sounds over the journals sounds casual and almost amused, but there’s a definite, barely restrained annoyance and disdain to it] So this place is called Paixao, is it? I must say, you have a lovely city here. It’s just a shame that I had to visit it against my will. I… hope that you don’t plan on keeping me too long. I’m a busy man, and I’m already a little late for an appointment. I'd hate to keep my guests waiting, and I’d rather not ruin any potential relationship we might have when we've only just met.

I must say, I do like this little device here. The vocal recordings are a nice touch. Though it’s a little strange that a quaint little place like this would have something this advanced when you seem to barely have electricity, don't you think?

Anyway… I hope you people can point me toward the people in charge, as the person at the gate wasn’t the most welcoming when it came to information. I’d like to issue a formal complaint--sooner rather than later.

Not too bright, and not too helpful. I hope the mayor won't be the same way.

He's not too fond of us "outsiders" - oh, and try not to exit the city if you don't think you can leave without getting caught. They're arresting those who do.

Let me guess. Something to hide?

Oh, definitely. Makes it all the more interesting, doesn't it?

If it wasn't so typical. But... information is information. Beggars can't be choosers.

Right, but it's a whole new adventure! A new mystery! It's brilliant! [the squee can definitely be heard in his voice]

I'm glad one of us is having fun.

Can't blame me, can you? Lots of things to do, and all that.

I'm the Doctor, by the way. What's your name?

Just Doctor? [he sounds amused at the thought] ...But I can't be too critical in this case. Nemo.

Just Doctor! [chuckles] I get that a lot.

And Nemo! Nice name. Like the captain, the planet, or the starship that serves excellent chips? I really must go back there.

Nothing quite as grand as that. It just seemed to fit best.

Still, nice name. And the beard! Love the beard. I haven't got one, myself.

Speaking of names... Is there any particular reason you're called "Doctor," or is it just something that randomly came about?

Just call myself the Doctor. Others call me that, too.

With something so easy to remember, I can see why it caught on fast. So, Doctor... What else can you tell me about this quaint little town?

Well, you know, not much. There are lovely little cafes and art museums and libraries, and the mayor's a bit too stubborn for his own good.

Oh, and there are people in the shadows of the city that are watching us and they're very probably planning something unpleasant.

People are always planning unpleasant things. You'll have to be a little more specific on what I should watch out for.

[a pause, then]

Don't know yet; I'm still learning. You'll want to ask someone who's been here longer than I have.

I'll keep that in mind. What's the saying, forewarned is forearmed?

Exactly! Good man.
