"And here I wished it was Daleks!" Lila muttered as she sat with Theodore while they had a break for a spell with V and N (Nikita) in a cleared part near a disjointed playground that hadn't seen children for over four decades.

There's silence in the air, not a chirp, not a rustle of grass or leaves, not even a breeze passing through, the remains of what was scattered among the area.

Theodore furrowed his brow as he crossed his arms while sitting with Lila as he's deep in thought, the fact the Chernobyl incident resulted in the unusual anomalies that plagued the area since, it's a curious thing, and Lila mused they're lucky in their world, it's only radioactive.

No signs of creepy things looking out windows, at least what Lila knows about their Chernobyl.

Although, she found it unusual that the radiation in this world caused the anomalies, it led Theodore into questioning it as well, as it couldn't been only the accident.

It'd make sense if megaton nuclear bombs went off systematically, but here they were, only the Chernobyl nuclear accident.

Truly, a miracle they weren't affected by the radiation, which from what it amounted that the nuclear isotopes are isolated in different parts of the exclusion zone, unlike their counterpart.

"You think that kind of thing exists?" Lila asks if it's possible that there's something that grants wishes unquestionably with an edge and it caused Theodore to tap his foot against the ground as he's pondering.

Shrugging his wide shoulders, Theodore says they've traveled over four hundred or so adventures, all different in some fashion, different universes across the horizons, anything's possible after they've encountered things that no one in their universe will ever experience in their lifetime.

"My father always taught us that anything can and has existed, it's a matter of when you encounter it," Theodore summed that he didn't rule out the possibility that a wish granting object exists somewhere in this universe, though how it works, doesn't seem like Nikita knew except from what she heard from the other stalkers.

"No way it just grants your wishes," Lila didn't believe that something like a wish granting object existed without some sort of cost.

From reading the classic cautionary tale, "The Monkey's Paw," Lila knows that these wishes come with a price, sometimes far worse than whatever ailed the grantee into wishing them in the first place.

"I concur," Theodore agreed with Lila's assessment as he shifted in his spot, watching the scenic post-apocalyptic world in front of them as they rested near the tall rocks behind them, giving them cover from would-be robbers or anything prowling in the reddish woods behind.

Keeping watch Nikita's blue eyes surveyed every inch of where they rested, looking for signs of trouble, be it human or unnatural.

The zone remains benign, they have not slighted her, so she has no reason to punish them, but they still risk her fickle nature, should she choose to torment them for her own amusement.

V's near the rocks, looking at a map she snuck in, marking off areas they've been to, keen on looking for something, but she quickly shoved the map in between her breasts before anyone noticed her with it.

Cautiously, her eyes watched the others, they're busied that they didn't notice, N (Nikita) busied watching for anything changing, and the Doctor and his companion talked to each other.

Deep in her thoughts, V wondered about the door, where it might've been, if it's true that it moves around, if it's protected.

Thinking about the potential spots the door could've been, V ruled out the buildings they passed. Call it a hunch that the door wouldn't be in the blown-out buildings.
