The penguins ate the glowsticks and are now decorating the icebergs like little waddling Christmas lights. Perhaps a good meal of alien fish would set them right. Or vice-versa, depending on the size of the fish.
Currently using my dwindling supply of glowsticks to keep those blood-sucking penguin hordes at bay... What I need are some alien fish to throw to them I guess...
946 words so far - progress not as rapid as yesterday... Spent some time Googling trying to find out how old Rory is supposed to be, but came up blank. Arthur Darvill is 28, it turns out, but I don't think Rory's meant to be that much older than Amy. It doesn't actually matter, it's only for a throwaway "funny" line.
As for Rory, if we don't know his age in canon -- and I agree, I don't think we do -- you can just make it up. Then it will catch on as a piece of fanon, and soon everyone will think he's whatever age you said he is.
I had the impression Rory's only supposed to be a couple of years older than Amy - if they were 6 or 7 years apart, he'd be in his early teens when she wanted to play Raggedy Doctor, and unless he was the babysitter I don't see why they'd be hanging around together on a regular basis.
Although, being Rory, he might have been the babysitter. It kind of works.
I've put him as 24, which might have been a bit of a gap when they were younger, but I sort of suspect wee Amelia would have had no trouble bullying, er, I mean persuading, a kid a bit older than her... :D
I am back on track with diet soda and a burrito under my belt... Apparently I can't plan or manage leisure activities like I would work, because taking a break to game with the husband just led to computer fail and questioning why I bothered. (Not husband fail. Husband awesome regardless.) Time to channel ridiculously cranky state of mind into some novella angst.
