[Rose is lying in the hammock sulking. There is no other word for it. She's swinging slightly in the hammock, a pout firmly fixed on her face. Over the last several months in the City, she's slowly forgotten what the meaning of personal space is. The City has seen fit to remind her today and she's not taking it well. At all.]

Rubbish curse. How're we s'posed to cope with curses and all the other sortsa things the City tosses at us if we can't even hold someone's hand?

You can cope at midnight! I'm told that midnight is when all the curses come to an end. Then you can hold all the hands you want! We can have a hand holding party!

[charring]

I may not be one for physical affection at the best of times, but I have a huge list of people I am hugging at midnight just because I'll be able to again.

[minigolfandsushi]

Wait, we'll be getting curses on top of this? Fuck!

[iwasherefirst]

[Rose can't help but smile at Jenny.]

Definitely ought to have a hand holdin' party complete with hugs.

[iwasherefirst]

My list of needin' immediate hugs is pretty short, but yeah, he's goin' on notice.

voice;

[iwasherefirst]

What? No...Just meant, m'still recoverin' from the whole desert city glass city curse.

[She means she doesn't like not being attached at the hip to the guy that sort of looks like you, Peter.]

[generated_anomaly]

More than two and you definitely have a party. I've never been to a party but I bet one would be fun! Especially one where you hold hands and hug and the like!

voice;

[minigolfandsushi]

Oh thank god. Don't scare me like that!

[charring]

You're on my list, if that's okay. Because it sounds like you might need one.

[iwasherefirst]

We'll invite the dad that leaves down the hall too, yeah? And we ought to have a party sometime since you've never been to one.

voice;

[iwasherefirst]

Sorry. So you're cursed today too?

[iwasherefirst]

Never goin' to turn down a hug from anyone. I could use one. You too, I'm guessin'?

[charring]

By the barrel full. [And she doesn't even like human contact.]

[generated_anomaly]

And Donna! I've hardly seen Donna since I've arrived. She must be very busy. But I know she likes the hand holding and the hugging too.

[likesavantgarde]

Least it wears off after a bit?

[iwasherefirst]

I'll be happy to hand out hugs when this is over then. It makes it worse, not havin' any contact when you physically can't dunnit?

[iwasherefirst]

Definitely can invite Donna. She likes to stay busy.

[iwasherefirst]

That's sorta comfortin'.

How are you doin' Ianto?

[charring]

It does. Weirdly enough. I want to just...shoulder-bump people. Or mess with their hair to be a brat. Little things.

[iwasherefirst]

M'not big on personal space anyhow and it's drivin' me a little barmy, y'know?

[aperfectthird]

Most of these only last a day, thank Merlin.

[am_i_being_rude]

[He's sort of around but it's weird being around and not being allowed to be as around as he wants, so...]

Yeah, they don't really get it, do they?

[generated_anomaly]

Yes, that's what I just said. Wonderful idea the both of us just had! Joint wonderfulness, I think. Am I helping you cope?

[leathered]

Gotten a bit spoiled, have you? It's only a day. You'll live.

[ He visits, okay. Maybe he's a little bit concerned. Pouty Rose is never a good thing. ]

[iwasherefirst]

[She's looks to him, sulk still firmly in place. It's more than petty pouting and really, the only other person that realises that is this version of the Doctor. They've got some major separation anxiety going on after everything their universe and then this City has put them through. She turns a bit more on her side to watch him and nods.]

I don't think anybody does. They all think I'm just bein' childish.
