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 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?

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

Yeah. Except they don't eat brains. Actually I don't think they eat at all if they don't want to.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

They're not all pleasant then?

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

No, it isn't.

[She frowns for a moment and then look back at him.]

Well reckon I better get going now.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

So soon? You've only just arrived.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

Well I don't' wanna impose but if you insist I reckon I can stay for a bit more.

You've still got a swimming pool, yeah?

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Yes, of course.

[Thinks for a moment.]

Though I haven't the faintest idea where I last saw it.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

[She laughs.]

Not surprise. The pool always shifted around when we travelled.

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Good to know some things haven't changed.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

What about the library?

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Somewhere around here I should imagine.

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

So what's your favorite room?

Re: [action]

[seconddoctor_cia]

Well...

[Stops to think. He's not entirely sure.]

Re: [action]

[missrosetyler]

Oh come on now, Doctor.

You've gotta have one or maybe top five?
