[Accidental Video] Backdate of Doom

[iwasherefirst]

[ooc: Please to be assuming this was posted accidentally yesterday sometime in the morning.]

[There's a hand that reaches out and picks up several candy hearts out of a dish. All the hearts go into the palm of the person's other hand then get picked up one by one as a voice reads the words out loud]

Protection

Hush Now

Progenocide

Brooke

[There a pause as the hands turn the candy over and over a moment.]

Bit odd. [it's just a whisper and then there's a movement that could be a shrug before the hands disappear, presumably so the person can put the candy in her mouth. Several seconds pass and then fairly suddenly the person ends up sitting on the floor, her knees to her chest, tears streaming down her cheeks as she buries her face against her knees.]

[Much later. Individual text messages to Cinna & the Doctor with the hair]

Cinna

Did you save them? I...ate a candy

Doctor

Where are you?

The greater share of the difficulty and pain was never mine to bear, for all that I would if I could. But the story isn't truly mine to tell and I would betray my friend's confidences, even though they are no longer in the City.

Suffice it to say, some innocent and very good people were put in horrible positions and it was partially my job to see that they looked good enough to help.

[There's a slight pause.] And how about you, Rose? How are you faring?

[iwasherefirst]

I understand.

[She takes a deep breath, really considering his words.] I think your memory hurt the least. The others were...brutal.

[threadthefire]

You have heartache enough in your past, don't you?

private; voice

[iwasherefirst]

[That's met with a moment of confusion before she answers.]

I guess...I guess so. Yeah. Mostly just...one heartache.

...on the beach. The one on the Bay.

[iwasherefirst]

Oh. [She's quiet a moment before she nods.]

Bad Wolf Bay. I got lost in a parallel dimension and he had to seal it up to save that world. That was...well you saw.

private; voice

[threadthefire]

That I did. I am sorry for your loss. He's here now, isn't he? Your Doctor, the one from the bay?

[iwasherefirst]

S'all right. I found him again. Back in...well one of the universes in my world.

[She ripped apart universes to do it but hey, found him anyway. There is an obvious smile with her next words though.]

Yeah and he's...we're...well y'know. S'brilliant and it's...worth it.
