Oh, you humans. So much fuss over a basic feature of your own planet's orbit. A simple little solstice and everyone has a gaudy holiday full of enormous meals, family drama, and decorations everywhere.

Pssst: Spring will come even if you don't throw endless parties. And that won't be a gift from some magical sky fairy either.

I found a fun tradition, though. Somewhere in the school I've hidden a life-size caganer. It's got a few enchantments that might make it easier to find.

There might be a prize involved.

"...yeah." He nodded, trying not to look too uncomfortable and nearly succeeding. "Yeah, I do."

"It's for - it's for storing memories?" And now he was just repeating the obvious. Not unusual, in these kinds of conversations...

He sat down as well, looking warily at the 'prize'. "So... how does it work?"

And you're giving me this just because I won your game? ...no, he wasn't going to ask.

He nodded. "Right - and if I just want the audiovisual replay, how do I do that? To start with." Quickly trying to come up with a memory that wouldn't be too revealing.

"...okay."

That was a bit reassuring, at least. The idea of being
basically hypnotised in front of the Master was still unsettling, though. But I'll be controlling it...

...no, the thing will. The - iSieve?


He pointed to the replay icon. "Just touch that and - think of a memory?" He'd got one, now. One that was only a little embarrassing.

"Okay."

Rory took the device, carefully, focused on the memory he'd chosen, and tapped the icon. An image appeared on the screen - Amy backing away as Francesco the fish-vampire advanced on her - and he could hear his own voice, babbling "The only thing I've seen uglier than you is... your mum!"

His eyes widened. It really worked...

He'd been unable to think of any memory to call up that wasn't about Amy or just uncomfortably personal. Probably later he'd be able to think of ten of them. But the fighting-a-vampire-with-a-broom incident was at least one the Master had already heard about.

And it was an incredibly detailed playback. He was a little impressed with himself for managing to survive as long as he had, when he'd known nothing about using a sword.

"And to stop it I just..." He tapped the screen again, making the image disappear.

"Right..." He looked dubiously at the device again. Even if he could pull himself out of it - and he did believe he'd be able to. He didn't actually think the thing was a trap. At least, not one that obvious - even if he could, there was no way he'd be hypnotising himself here and now.

...he's done it in front of you. To be fair.

Yes, but what could I have done to him?

Rory worried for a moment what would happen if he got the settings wrong, until it occurred to him that he wouldn't exactly have a problem with forgetting the instructions. At least in theory.

He nodded at the last remark. "I've read about Pensieves. When I first... when I had all the new memories to deal with." A shrug. "Didn't really like the idea though. Just pulling things out like that..."

"Yeah, exactly." He gazed down at the device. It did just look like an iPad, really. Something innocuous. "I've had my head rearranged enough."

"Just in case I get into a sword fight." He thought about this for a second, and sighed. "Aaand that's actually not at all unlikely, is it."

"Just a bit." He shrugged. "Although I have managed not to be attacked by any fish-people or mad exploding demons while I've been here. So far."

"...yeah." Rory looked away, in what he suspected was that terribly awkward the carpet in here's suddenly very interesting fashion. "It's - it's like a maze, this place."

(He'd wondered, on and off, whether the castle might be bigger on the inside. It wouldn't surprise him.)

"I swear one of the second floor corridors was just - leading me round in circles the other day." Rory relaxed a little now the conversation seemed to have come back to safer ground. "Took me half an hour to find a staircase."
