There was a loud bang and suddenly the painted skies of Paixao began to crack. Angels and clouds separated from the mural they had once been apart of and began to fell to the earth, crushing anyone and anything they managed to land on.

They were the first, but they certainly weren't the last.

He knew something was wrong even before Blue barked. The Doctor raced to her, his hearts pounding in his throat as he saw exactly what he feared. But she was breathing, and she was regaining consciousness, and he really needed to get these damned beams off of her. Gritting his teeth, he grasped at the fist and used all of his strength in an attempt to lift it.

"Can you help me, please?" he asked Blue, a bit sharper than he meant to be out of worry.

[somethingblue]

She twitched at the sandpaper tongue that dragged along her cheek and grimaced. Her eyes shot opened with a start and letting a cry pass her lips, her arms jerked above her body in attempt to save herself from being crushed — of course, she realized that the beam was being lifted from herself rather than falling this time. Relief washed over her, but she remained pinned under some few of them. Turning her head, she noted a dog — wait was it a dog? — and her thief.

“Doctor, the city—!” It was said as though he couldn’t obviously see what was happening. She gave a grunt as she grasped the beam he was holding to try and help move it from her. “What is happening?”

Blue wasn't bothered by the way the Doctor asked; she knew what it was like to need to protect those close to you. She only nodded and nudged her head under the beam, and then her human form was over her again instantly, arms pushing to help get the beam off of the woman enough for her to hopefully slide out.

"Don't worry about the city right now. We need to get you out." Blue's own advice stayed fresh in her mind. She had to focus on these instances, like helping the woman, or else the fact that the place she had long since called her new home was crashing down would bury Blue's mind along with it.

"I know!" came the reply, the Doctor holding up the beam as best he could so Idris could get out. "Come on, now, out you get. You've no time to be lying around, you know." Despite the sarcasm, the worry was clear in his tone, and he looked at Idris with barely-masked fear mingling with unabashed relief.

"I don't know, but this whole place is coming down! We need to hurry up and get out of here. You haven't happened to see your other self around, have you?" As he talked, he glanced around, as though hoping a blue box would simply materialize. Well, she did tend to do that.

Grunting, she moved from being trapped under the beam thanks to both of their help. Lifting herself to her feet, she pressed her hands to her stomach and wheezed a breath, turning on her heels to look at them both in thanks, though worry remained etched on her face. The place was crumbling to bits, she hadn’t been there long enough to deem it her ‘home’ but it was a place near to her heart — she could talk with the Doctor here, be with him as a ‘human,’ she hated the thought of losing it now. What would happen to the people?

“Pain is something I can do without from here on out, thank you so much.” It was spoken to no one in particular; she looked to the others and frowned at the Doctor.

“I did not see myself in passing but I can help you locate that silly box, Thief.”

[halvedhowl]

Box? They were looking for boxes now? That... hardly seemed important, but who was Blue to judge? She crouched back, a hand still hovering out in case the woman needed it, and looked to the Doctor for direction.

"Now what, then?" she asked.

Once Idris was free, the Doctor set down the beam and moved to support her, worry etched on every line on his deceptively young face. "Once we get somewhere safe, I can tend to your wounds." He glanced around, then, as though hoping his TARDIS would suddenly reveal itself. "We just need to get out of here."

He looked back to Blue. "If we find my TARDIS, I can fly us out of here. She should have enough power built up by now."

Taking the woman’s hand, Idris stumbled nearer to the two, taking a moment to readjust herself being that she was in pain — an unfamiliar sensation despite having been through it once before. One time simply didn’t do it proper justice it seemed, she could do without it for the rest of her life within the fleshling body she’d taken host to. Standing now, with both of their assistances, she pulled her hand back and nodded in thanks to the woman before turning her attention onto her thief.

Lifting a palm, she touched his cheek and brushed a thumb along the bone there, lightly shaking her head. “You fret of many things already, Thief, do not worry of my current state. It will take more than a fallen beam to keep me down.”

Turning her gaze to look around themselves, she frowned. “Damn this hunk of flesh,” she grumbled. “If only I could track myself, it would be so much easier.

Where was I stored before this mess? I can’t have gotten too far from you.”

...Now Blue was completely lost, just staring at the two, openly confused. They at least seemed to understand each other.

She just... had to work through the things she didn't understand.

Squeezing the woman's hand, she asked the Doctor, "Do you remember any landmarks?" She knew the city's layout pretty well, even if it was rapidly changing around them. "Or... something from the ship that I could track by scent?" She glanced over at the woman, uncertain. She had some connection to the ship by the sounds of it, but... well. Blue's tracked people before. Or clothing. A ship though... She wasn't sure it was possible.

It didn't matter how... they just needed to get out of this city as soon as possibly.
