So anyone want to wager when we'll get the next 3 day curse? Can't figure out any pattern to this yet. But there's gotta be right?

Neil, did you find your friend alright?



Doctor, when you've got a moment I need to have a chat with you.

I was hoping there would be some pattern. Maybe even some way to predict them and what kind of effect they'd have. Though I do have a theory.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

And what sort of theory would that be?

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

That these curses become much worse the longer one stays in this place.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

Don't think I've heard that theory before.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Well, as I said, it's only a theory.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

Ought to keep a log of curses and see if it proves true.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Perhaps. Has your young man been cursed yet?

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

I don't know. Probably not. He sort of doesn't believe in them.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

You know, I keep forgetting to ask his name. Perhaps I've already met him. What is his name?

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

His name's not really important.

[She points over to the time rotor.]

So how long have you had this theme again?

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Notices the change of subject.]

Oh come now, Rose, I promise I won't approach him about it. I'm only trying to help, you know.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

I know but--

[Moves closer to the time rotor.]

You never answered my question.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Grins impishly.]

Well, if we're to go into technicalities, you never really answered mine.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

I suppose that's true.

[She hesitates for a moment.]

Don't really know his full name. It's a common name he's got really. His name's...Jack.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Oh.

[Seems to deflate as if a weight has been lifted.]

Oh I see. Well, I haven't met anyone here by that name. Not yet at least. I've had this layout, well, since I left home.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

Maybe you'll run into him one day.

It's an interesting layout.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Yes, I think so. Anyhow, tell me more about these curses. You've met people who have been here for a while. Does it seem that they get worse to you?

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

[Rose has to think about it for a moment.]

It depends. For some people that I've known it hasn't been so bad but then some new arrivals have gotten stronger ones. It's all just so random. And frustrating.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Yes, that is. If only there was some pattern to it, I might be able to predict when it would happen next, and the severity. What's the worst that you've heard about?

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

I don't think anyone can.

People reliving the worst days of their lives.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Hmm...and nothing else?

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

Sometimes people die and they come back cold.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Cold?

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

Cold, yeah. No heartbeat.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

You mean, like zombies?
