[ Someone's been a bit AWOL for the past few days. Not that it's uncommon for this particular blonde to keep a low-profile from time to time, but this is a bit different. To not have seen her recently, especially with the shit storm that had become of her friends? You'd think something like that would have Rose neck-deep in it. Especially when it came to telling off ('helping/calming down') the Doctor(s).

Regardless, she's here now, looking a lot younger than she has in months. Actually, she just looks younger in general. A good handful of years younger. She looks a bit cross, too, brows pulled down to pinch over heavy amounts of mascara. It's not much to note, but a select few residents might recognize a rather specific set of clothes she's got on. ]

Yeah alright, it was funny for the first five minutes; you can send me back now. London. England, Earth. Not Asgard. --This can't seriously be Asgard, can it?

[ Focus, Rose. But more to the point, and to herself; ] Doctor, you'd better be here.


[ ooc; Rose has been cursed back to her season 2 self, and will be stuck as such for about a week or so. And obviously, all memories of Asgard and it's inhabitants have been wiped until she snaps back to normal. Have fun with a much more antagonistic/optimistic/pre-soul-crushed-dimension-hopping-Rose. ]

[Irving is somewhat subdued: Christmas planning has cheered him, but he doesn't really feel up to spanners in the works. But he sees that no one's responded yet, so he'll bite the initial bullet.

He's pleasantly formal and relaxed.]

I'm terribly sorry: but I'm afraid we don't have the capacity to do that just at the moment. Or indeed, at all. We'd be at home ourselves, if that were the case. I certainly have other things to do.

[bossily]

Rose?

[Color Clara concerned. This is weird, even by their standards.]

You should know we can't get back. You're the one that first told me when I arrived.

[Perma-Video]

[faceofbeau]

Rose? [Have a confused look, concerned look, because Rose- well, she looks different. Younger, if it were possible, more reminiscent of the way she'd looked back when they traveled together. The questions are striking an odd note too.]

You alright? Not sure where the Doctor is at the moment, but we can find him pretty easily. What's going on?

[beforethewar]

[Let's join the chorus, shall we?]

...Rose?

[Don't say how much younger she looks, Eight. You have more decorum than most of your other selves.]

Yes, we're here. Several of us. Don't you remember?

[badwolf]

[ It's a bit of a shame this curse has taken upon her really. Just after she'd finally found out who this mystery charmer was, too. She'd been so ready to press for juicy, sibling details, and then this went and happened.

As it is, she just looks confused. And maybe a little put out. ]

What do you mean we don't-- No, sorry, I have a way, I just. Need to find a ship and her pilot. A specific one.

[badwolf]

[ Ooookay, that's a bit weird. Not that she's not into having people know her- and sort of seem friendly (because Clara does, even if the concern on her face is making it's recipient uneasy). But this isn't really the time for it. ]

Sorry... I don't think I did? Unless- I mean, unless I do in the future at some point. Which would be your past. M-maybe?

[badwolf]

[ She'll take your concerned and confused, Jack, and raise you a very, very shocked look of her own. One that beams into a wide, open mouthed smile. Nevermind what he's saying, look who's saying it. ]

Jack, is that-- Sorry- yeah, I'm fine. But you, you. You're here!

[badwolf]

[ Man, this would be just like This Is Your Life if she actually knew who the majority of these people were. As it is, she's just starting to look a bit exasperated. ]

How'd you mean several of us? And sorry- really, I am, but. Who are you? How come's it seems like everyone knows my name here?

[becauseichooseto]

[Oh, well. He looks a bit sheepish.]

Well, he's here and so is she, though she's not quite a ship, I'm afraid. Although she pulls it off well, considering.

[badwolf]

[ .. Wait. ]

What? Whatd'you mean she's not quite a ship?

[becauseichooseto]

We're all humanised when we arrive. Quite the adjustment to make for a TARDIS, I'm sure you can imagine.

[badwolf]

[ Hold up. ]

She's ... human?

[becauseichooseto]

Practically, yes. It will certainly very difficult to escape inside her. [It's a bit of an image.]

[badwolf]

Um. [ BRAX, REALLY. ] You said the Doctor wash here, too?

[becauseichooseto]

Several versions of him, I'm afraid. Ranging from quite young, round faced and bob cut, I'm relatively certain you haven't met to the elder yet impressively chinned Doctor.

[badwolf]

Hang on- how many?

[becauseichooseto]

Eight.

[faceofbeau]

Yeah, have been for awhile. [And now he's looking even more concerned. Has Rose been injured, hit her head? Or- suddenly, he can't remember the last time he went to see her, and he remembers distinctly that sometimes people will vanish and then come back, without their memories. Jack's brows furrow, even as he tries to wipe the worry from his face.] Rose, what's the last thing you remember?

[theshabbiestofmen]

Er-- Rose? You all right? Only you've definitely been here long enough to know the answers to those questions.

[badwolf]

... Eight.

[badwolf]

What? [ Sorry, she's a bit distracted. By him, of course, and in an entirely different way than she'd been upon their original first meeting, but. ]

Um-- You mean before waking up here with the creepy-- faceless maids? I was with mum and the Doctor- well. They were upstairs, I was with Mickey. In some place called the sphere room in- get this, you remember Canary Wharf? That big, new building in London? Torchwood. Some government organization that's working to- it's nuts. They're nuts. Anything alien is theirs, I heard them say. You can imagine what the Doctor had t'say about it.

[badwolf]

Sorry? I'm fine, really. Why does everyone keep asking me that? I've never been here before in my life. I mean- yet. I might've been later. But it hasn't happened for me yet.

[comeonthensexy]

[ Oh, lord, it's happened to her too now. So that's where she was.

He's so tired. Why can't they just be given a break?

He looks like it too. Looks like crap, honestly. But he can't do audio, not when it's Rose, and not when she doesn't remember.

Although, he supposes, in a way that's a blessing. ]

Of course it can seriously be Asgard. Haven't I taught you about most legends and myth having a grain of truth to them?

[Video]

[badwolf]

[ EXCUSE YOU WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BEING ALL BOSSY AND RUDE AND wait a second. ]

Look mate, professor or no, I'm pretty sure you've never taught me anything.

[video]

[gallifreyfalls]

[He doesn't know Rose well enough to even begin figuring this one out. Instead he's just going to go with the flow.]

I completely agree.
