[Clara is 110% cheerful when she picks up. There's the slight sound of wind blowing in the background.]

Hey, Max! What's up? How've you been?

[timecapture]

Oh, just getting settled into college. I thought I'd see how you're doing, since I'm generally awful at keeping in touch.

[ohshutup]

You sure you're not getting us confused? 'Cause I am the queen of forgetting to ring. Don't worry about it one bit.

[Besides - she's been too busy getting herself wounded and broken up with to talk. Now that she's on the road again, she's finally got a free moment in her busy, self-destructive schedule.]

How's college so far?

[timecapture]

Busy! I'm pretty sure I'm the only person there with no idea of what I'm doing.

I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. How's it going?

[ohshutup]

I promise - you're not. Most of uni's just an exercise in pretending you've got it together.

[Clara would know. She most certainly did not have it together.]

And I've been well. Just doing a bit of traveling, right now.

[timecapture]

Okay, that makes me feel a little better.

Really? Where are you?

[ohshutup]

Piney Flats, Tennessee.

[She says it the way the Doctor might - with gusto, like she's just announced she's visiting Las Vegas.]

[timecapture]

I've never been there. What's it like?

[ohshutup]

Quite lively. It's the city that never sleeps, down here.

[While she's talking, Clara sends her this picture via text.]

Actually, I'm looking for Bigfoot.

[timecapture]

I thought Bigfoot was more of a "West Coast" thing.

[ohshutup]

I did too, but that's what people are saying. Apparently the Sasquatch is more of a species than a single animal.

[timecapture]

That's so cool. Take pictures if you find one, okay?

[ohshutup]

I'll be sure to, though I don't think phone cameras have a night mode. You'll have to use your imagination.

[timecapture]

Boo. Someone should invent that.

[ohshutup]

Hey, you're the one just starting out on your college career, full of possibilities. Get on that, Miss Scholar.

[timecapture]

I fix cameras. I don't invent them.

[Beat.]

... Do you think the Doctor would help me?

[ohshutup]

Oh, I think he would love to!

[timecapture]

Let's just hope they don't explode.

[ohshutup]

Make sure he knows that bit.

[timecapture]

Even if he does, what are the odds of him ignoring it?

[ohshutup]

Hm. Not in your favor. Best come armed with a tape recorder, so he can't say you didn't warn him.

[timecapture]

Tape recorders aren't my style.

[ohshutup]

What, too retro?

[timecapture]

I prefer my camera.
