[Someone doesn't look happy. He glares right at the bracelet for just a second before launching into his speech, tiredly putting on his best attempt at a neutral face. He might even sound happy at points, but there's something forced about it.]

I've been told that our dead from the past few days should've popped right back up by now. A few of you have, as far as I can see. Good for you. Try not to get killed next time.

But that's not what this is about. As it turns out, there's a glitch in the system. Someone's slipped through the cracks. When all you lot came stumbling back into the light, a lovely girl by the name of Rose Marion Tyler should've been right there with you---blonde, crooked smile, far too prone to wandering off.

[Any traces of joviality abruptly disappear. He glares straight through the bracelet.]

She wasn't there.

Tell me anything you know about what might be wrong, and how I can go about finding her.

[With one last glare at the bracelet, he clicks it off.]

Doctor,

[For a minute, Martha's about to not quite argue, but she remembers how things were with Ten so instead she offers:]

I'll help find her if you need someone too.

Voice

[fantastix]

Glad to have you aboard, Martha.

[He's grateful, but he sounds tired.]

Voice

[toldastory]

Of course. Have you had any sleep since we got back?

Voice

[fantastix]

A bit every day. 'M not hallucinating or anything like that.

[Oh dear. Not good, making him angry. The TARDIS is not afraid for herself but for everyone else.]

She could have gone gray. She's done that before.

[fantastix]

Meaning she's alive but...not.

[There's a string of curses.]

All this 'cause I wasn't there.

[sexyoldgirl]

Quite possibly.

[She looks a bit stern now.]

Don't start blaming yourself, it won't do anyone any good.

[seethelanterns]

Rose is missing? [Oh no. The girl had been one of the first Rapunzel had met in person here. She hopes whatever happened, Rose was all right.]

[fantastix]

She's dead.

'S my fault. I'm sorry.

[seethelanterns]

You mean....with all the fighting? [Rapunzel feels her heart sink a little at that news. She hopes Rose comes back, like it appears others had as well.]

[codenamelegs]

[ ...Oh no. ]

So the plan's still on then.

[ It's not really a question, Nine. Like hell is she getting her dead back and leaving him without his. ]

voice;

[fantastix]

I'm going.

Since you've got your Doctor back, I don't expect you to need to.

voice;

[codenamelegs]

You think I'll just let you go alone?

[ She snorts quietly, and if only he could see the roll of her eyes to go along with it. ]

Don't be an idiot. We're going. We'll get your Rose back, okay? I promised.

[samantha_grey]

Not going to make promises, since she and I barely spoke, but I haven't seen anyone going by that name. Have you tried the communicator? Is she still listed as an option to contact?

[fantastix]

I have. The messages went through. No one there to answer, though.

...glad you're all right, in any case.

[samantha_grey]

The most likely answer, if she's the sort that'd answer you and isn't pissed at you, is that she's gone gray. It's happened to me before. She'll be a little bit of a mess when she gets back in color.

Appreciate it. The trip to dwarven lands was ... eventful, but we made it back ok. Lockdown went smoothly for once.

[nukeoleptic]

Samantha up there is right.. it's possible she's been sent home, isn't it? And even if she's not.. I've been dead here before, after a fight. It's not that bad, honest.

[audio]

[fantastix]

Possible, yes. But the last I saw of her was getting crushed by a giant.

[audio]

[nukeoleptic]

Then.. I'm sorry. And I really hope she comes back soon.

[scarygirl]

There are several possibilities, none of which you will find comforting. The first is that for some reason yet unexplained, she has not returned. The second is that for some reason she may be permanently dead. The third is that she simply lost the bracelet, and the fourth is that they've removed her from the realm.

[fantastix]

You're right, they're not.

Already started to work those out, but thanks.

video;

[scarygirl]

You are welcome. If it comes to that, I would say ask one of these gods...but I do not know if they ever truly feel inclined to answer.

[bonnypiperlad]

I'll help ye look, Doctor.

[Because he's not about to do anything less.]

[fantastix]

You can cover it in record time.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, I suppose I might be able to, at that. Look, who's checking where so far?
