realityshifted | 20- It's just a clean slate

[Jack is on the Plane, looking rather lost. He's frowning and scanning the area around him, as if he's never seen this place before. One moment he's there, and the next he drops from the Plane, looking quite startled as he comes back. There's a pause, and then he does it again.

And again. And again.

Finally he settles for staying on the Plane, looking frustrated and running a hand through his hair, catching sight of his wristband as he does. Curiously, he turns his wrist this way and that, examining it. After a moment he starts fiddling with it, pressing buttons here and there. When nothing noticeable seems to happen, he finally let's his arm drop] Now what?

[ooc: So, experiment start! This time, Jack's memory has been completely wiped out, courtesy of the Twins. Yes, I am evil like that. He won't remember anything at all, either from his canon or the Plane, so don't be confused if he gives your character a wtf look. Feel free to bother him as much as you like, but just remember; he'll remember all this once the experiment is over ♥]

I know. But you'll remember, eventually. Maybe you should enjoy not having to worry for a bit.

Easier said than done at this point.....

I know but I think you'll appreciate the holiday later.

That bad.

Well, that's one way of looking at it, I suppose. But there are good things, too. I promise.

I'll just take your word for it, then.

[a little awkward] Anything else?

Not unless there's anything else you want to tell me about.

[this would be the part where the friend says comforting, caring words of hope and encouragement and all that wonderful stuff that makes for sappy/happy moments.

The Doctor fails at those.]

You're...well, you're a good man. I think you're a very stubborn one and we do fight often enough but you're someone I trust. Just so you know that.

[He's quiet for a moment and then, without really thinking about it, he hugs the Doctor] ...thank you.

[blinks but hugs him back] You're quite welcome.

[He pulls away, embarrassed but trying to hide it. Awkwardly.] I've made you talk enough about me already....

[just beams at him, amused at how awkward he is] Oh, I love talking, so no worries there. But look for me if you need anything. Any of me, really.

Any of you?

...Ah.

[takes a deep breath and now here comes the short and quick version] Time Lords have this way of cheating death called regeneration. Our cells revitalize themselves, completely changing our appearance and to some extent personality but not core traits. Anyway! I'm in my tenth body, my ninth and fifth are here and another version of me and two human versions.

[Jack...actually followed most of that. Which earns you a nod, Ten] I'll keep it in mind, then.

[surprised smile] Oh, good, then.

I'll still try and find you.

Well... [he frowns just slightly, then] Most others either know me as the first tenth or the one associated with the Master. [he rubs his neck, clearly showing he's not fond of this label at all] I'll keep an eye out for you anyway.

[And here comes the issue[ Hei said I needed to stay away from the Master, both of them.

And he's right, you should.

Doesn't that mean I need to stay away from you?

[there's a flicker of hurt if you're fast enough to catch it before he shakes his head] I won't let him hurt you. We're different.

I'm not worried about you, I trust you. I'd just rather avoid testing out my immortality.

I know. But I'll still try not to let that happen. He usually avoids you, now, at least.
