[oneaftermidnight]

[Jim has found a wall, one at the farthest edge of the glass city, nearest the desert. His hands are pressed against the glass, his face not far away, watching what bit of the chaos he can see through the glass. As for the device, it's in his pocket, and he doesn't realize it's on, or that everyone might hear him say:]

Boy, I'm glad I'm not out there.

[Though with the way he said it, it's almost like he's trying to convince himself that whatever horrible situation is outside that wall really isn't much more exciting than being trapped in here.]

Comments

voice;

[valkyria]

[A voice of a child? While she is indeed enjoying her time out in the desert fighting, there is not a chance that a child should be out here.]

If you are incapable of fighting, then you should truly be grateful the deities have locked you where you are, assuming you are in the glass city.

[Her words are blunt and unamused.]

voice;

[oneaftermidnight]

[And his pocket just talked to him. That was a little surprising. Easy enough to figure out, though.]

Who says I'm not?

voice;

[valkyria]

You are but a child. I would not expect you to be on the battlefield.

[Her words still sting, but she means well. Children are taught to fight, but shouldn't be forced into battle until they are ready.]

voice;

[oneaftermidnight]

I meant grateful.

[He is really not amused, either.]

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

Ah, the sound of blooming delinquency in the morning.

[ TEXT ]

[oneaftermidnight]

What does that mean?

Action

[iwasherefirst]

[Rose is stuck in the glass city as well, however, she's not as pleased about that. Her Doctors are out there in the desert. She wanders up next to Jim and sits down, forehead to the glass as well.]</small< Know anyone out there?

Action

[oneaftermidnight]

[He glances at her, then back out to the land beyond the glass. It seems like most of the people he's been living with the past couple days are out there, too.]

Not too well.

Action

[iwasherefirst]

Doesn't make worryin' 'bout everybody any better, does it?

Action

[oneaftermidnight]

You know anyone who's stuck out there?

Action

[iwasherefirst]

Yeah. [She nods emphatically.] Two of the most important people in my whole life are out there.

Action

[oneaftermidnight]

That must be hard.

Action

[iwasherefirst]

[Rose shrugs, trying to make light of it.] They're tryin' to get back here and bring some other people with 'em.

[She looks over and smiles a bit at the boy.] M'Rose Tyler. What's your name?

garbled voice;

[beifongbandit]

You shou-- be. --'s hot.

voice;

[oneaftermidnight]

[Somehow it makes him smile, not that she can see it.]

Deserts usually are.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

[ There's a crackle of static and she laughs. ] Don't cut yourself on all that glass.

voice;

[oneaftermidnight]

I think I'd have to break it first. [Don't give him ideas...]

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Can't be too hard. I doubt it's very strong. You'd think the deities could come up with better shelter.
