[Rose is sitting in the hammock in the TARDIS. She's wearing a cozy, comfy, turtleneck sweater that looks like it's about to fall apart and her hands are wrapped around a cup of cocoa. She looks like crap, circles under her eyes and either something in the TARDIS is shaking or she's shaking. It's not clear which.]

Guess we should've expected this. 'm pretty sure we got snow in July last year too. Anyone remember for sure?

Rose? Are you okay?

[iwasherefirst]

[Rose forces a smile. It's weak though.]

Yeah. Think I've got a bit of a cold with the weather change.

[coyote_walking]

Yeah, it can be rough when you suddenly end up with a blizzard in July.

[She wasn't quite believing that was all, but everyone was entitled to their privacy. Still...]

If you need anything, you know you just have to ask, right?

[iwasherefirst]

[She's not ready to discuss with anyone the whole vampire bite thing. It's hard enough with the Doctors and they know about it.]

Yeah. Thanks, Mercy. I really do appreciate it.

[anunluckypenny]

People've told me this happens every July.

Please don't take this the wrong way, Rose, but you look awful. Are you feeling okay?

[iwasherefirst]

Wouldn't surprise me

[She offers a weak smile. No offense taken clearly.] Bit of a cold I think? From the irritable weather. How're you?

[anunluckypenny]

Nothing's too surprising in the City.

Aw, I'm sorry--and good, actually. Do you need anything? Soup?

[iwasherefirst]

Soup would be brilliant if you didn't mind.

Knew it wasn't unusual.

[You learn to expect pretty much everything from the City, easily.]

You alright?

[iwasherefirst]

[It really does get to that point.]

Yeah, changin' weather, y'know? How're you doin'?

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Guess I do, but it's a little quicker than usual. I'm fine.

[iwasherefirst]

Yeah. Stayin' inside today? I know some people are out there makin' snow men and the like.

You don't look so good, lady.

[She pushes some sticky strands of hair out of her face.]

Flu I think. Sorry, don't know you. I'm Rose.

[Manners are a decent enough distraction]

Serrure, pleasure to meet you, Rose. Perhaps you ought to find a doctor?

[It doesn't take long after she posts the video for Turlough to find her. He collapses in a lanky heap in the hammock next to her.]

You look terrible.

[Always the charmer.]

action;

[iwasherefirst]

[She appreciates the company, despite the commentary. Really, she didn't expect anything less from him. She knows she looks terrible.]

Some sorta human somethin' I guess.

[rudeandginger]

That you can't help, I suppose. I'd have thought the Doctor would be around acting like a motherhen about now.

[minigolfandsushi]

Oh look, you're back.

[iwasherefirst]

Yeah, sorta got lost in the Underground for a little while. How're you?

[minigolfandsushi]

Why would you go and do a daft thing like that?

This post not here

[council_king]

[But Rido is quite enjoying the show and all the concern over Rose's 'cold'.]

action;

[leathered]

[ You might think the Doctors were watching her in shifts. It sort of looks like that, anyway. The Ninth is nearby in a battered old sweater of his own, torn between sulking and concern. ]

Funny weather barely rates as a curse. The air conditioning in the deity office probably just broke. -- Are you sure you want to post that? Not your best side, I have to say.

action;

[iwasherefirst]

[She knows they're taking shifts and she knows he's a bit angry at her. She expected it to some degree, but she hates it none the less.]

M'not sure I've got a best side today. Think we could put their heat out?

action;

[leathered]

Good point. All the more reason to stay in more often in the future.

Could put the heat out, maybe, but then who knows -- they might just decide to freeze us all in retribution. Bit petty, the deities, I've noticed.
