020- [Video]

[missrosetyler]

[The video feed flickers on to reveal Rose's flat in distress. Her couch is turned upside down, pillow feathers are everywhere, the bookcase is on the floor with books littering the floor. The main door opens, showing Rose walking in with bags in hand. The mess immediately catches her attention and her bags fall to the floor. She ventures deeper into the living room unaware of the Boney watching her from another room. It growls and she stops turning toward its source. Her eyes go wide and she screams. Immediately she starts to back away as it advances.

She decides going for the door is her only choice as she turns her back against the advancing creature and bolts for the door, shutting it behind her. Her heart races and her feet don't stop moving, she spots two more down the hall as the feed dies.]

[ooc: open to action if you want to run into her.]

[Sees her look.]

You're very intuitive. It's a good characteristic.

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

M'sorry.

[She gives him a sympathetic expression.]

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

No. I blame them if I blame anyone. She turned out to be better than them. We started getting along well too.

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

Did they...What was her name?

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

Serena. No, they didn't kill her, but she wasn't experienced.

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

Oh. Nice name. So what happened?

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

It was a complicated business. Some beings were using Earth's history as a kind of chess game amongst each other. I met them briefly once before, but they were about to elevate their game, so to speak.

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

What did they look like these beings? But you stopped them yeah?

[She really can't help herself with the questions now.]

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

They looked perfectly normal. They were passing themselves off as human. Very cunning, they were. They tried to assassinate the Duke of Wellington.

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

So like, um, Siltheen, yeah? Wearing human masks. Really? Blimey!

How did you stop them?

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

I don't know what they really looked like.

[He looks uncomfortable.]

From assassinating Wellington?

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

Well, yeah.

[She'll take whatever answer she can get. She doesn't want to make him feel uncomfortable.]

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

I didn't.

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

Serena, did?

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

She stood in the way of the bullet, which entered through her side. Got both hearts. A brave act. After that was when I formed the plan to impersonate Napoleon and ensure the battle of Waterloo happened as recorded.

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

[Now she feels bad for asking. Honestly, she didn't think it would've ended up like that. She's even more sympathetic now.]

I'm really sorry. Want more tea?

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

No, thank you.

[Looks at the scanner.]

Do you suppose it's like this all over the City?

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

I think so, yeah.

[She frowns.]

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

Peculiar. I still don't understand what the point could possibly be.

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

Sometimes these things don't have a point.

[She looks up at the ceiling and finishes off her tea.]

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

[Shakes his head.]

You said you've been here over a year, yes?

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

Yeah. Finding a way back has been elusive.

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

And nothing like this ha happened before?

Re: Action;

[missrosetyler]

Elusive exits? Yeah. I've talked with some people that have been trapped here for 5 years with no escape. Some people though find a way back and then end up back here after a while.

Re: Action;

[seconddoctor_cia]

No, no. I meant...
