I'm never asking Rhys for a beach vacation. Pretty sure I never want to see sand again for the rest of my life.

I need a shower. And something for a wicked sunburn.

... a few days sleep would be nice, too.

I have aloe, if you need it. I don't mind sharing.

[likeabreath]

Aloe would be lovely.

[charring]

It even has a pain reliever in it which is beautiful. Where are you and I'll bring it to you.

[likeabreath]

I'm actually on my way back to my place. It's [insert apart info since mun can't remember where].

[charring]

Okay! See you in a bit.

[Knocking fifteen minutes later, aloe in hand.]

[likeabreath]

[And there's a Gwen answering the door, looking very sunburned, but happy to be back in her own apartment.]

You're a lifesaver.

Re: action:

[charring]

[Charlie holds the aloe out with a grin.] I bought like...four bottles in a panic and realized I probably didn't need that many so...it's unopened. All yours. It works wonders.

[likesavantgarde]

I hear you there.

Alright, Gwen? Didn't run into any of those sandworm things out there, did you?

[likeabreath]

Worms and some... wolf thing, and a chicken, which you wouldn't expect in a desert. I'm fine, though. Bumps and bruises, other than peeling.

You alright?

[likesavantgarde]

It sounds like you had more fun out there than I did.

I'm fine, thank you. Bit tired but I guess I can't complain too much.

I'd avoid visiting Roswell, then. Most of New Mexico, actually.

[likeabreath]

You know, I'm not sure if I'm allowed back in America anyway.

[ she makes a leap based on that welsh accent of hers. ]

Green card troubles?

[iwasherefirst]

Glad to have you back. Everything all right?

[And now she's wondering if Gwen knows Jack is gone.]

[likeabreath]

Burned and bruised, but fine. Everyone alright on this end?

[iwasherefirst]

Uhm...yeah, I think so. Tosh is okay and the Doctors are fine, but you know that bit.

[She hesitates, holding her breath for a second before she exhales in a little puff of air.]

Jack...Jack went back home.

[likeabreath]

.... oh. He did, did he?

I see.

[iwasherefirst]

I'm sorry. I thought you deserved to have someone tell you instead of finding out some other way.

[likeabreath]

It's alright.

Thanks.

[iwasherefirst]

Welcome. If I can help, lemme know.

[leathered]

I've got a feeling that the beach is going to be unusually deserted this summer.

voice;

[likeabreath]

I'm not setting foot near the damned thing.

I assume you stayed out of trouble, Doctor?

voice;

[leathered]

Most people assume the opposite. How refreshing.

I suppose I did. Lost the Doc's car breaking through to the glass City, but nothing else too terrible happened, considering.

voice;

[likeabreath]

Of course I assumed the best. The City was still standing when I got here, right?

Breaking through? Really?

voice;

[leathered]

Oh, I see. Low standards.

We weren't trying, but it did work. Right up until the thing fell into a pile of sand. Couple of other people managed it by accident too, from the network. Must have something to do with speed, I think.

voice;

[likeabreath]

Oi. I'll have you know my standards are pretty high. I figured someone would break the damned city since it was glass. Also figured it'd be one of you lot as you're all so nosy and wanting to know how things work and such.

Never would've thought of it in the literal sense.

voice;

[leathered]

Well, I wasn't going to sonic it, was I? Glass is delicate.

I wouldn't have either. Bit miffed about it, really. I was hoping to fix the time-travel mechanism in it.

voice;

[likeabreath]

How would I know? Don't you sonic most everything?

... sorry. It's been a long few days.

voice;

[leathered]

Most. Key word is most.

It has. Go take a nap. They make most humans less cranky.

voice;

[likeabreath]

I'm not cranky... but a nap sounds amazing right now. Well, it will as soon as get another shower. I still feel nasty.

voice;

[leathered]

Not cranky, right. ] Think I pulled a stone of sand from my pockets this afternoon.
