[It's a Doctor. He's working on a new project, this one hopefully not destroying the world like the last project was invariably about to do. But! He's got bits of machinery which looks like it used to be a few coffee makers and two television sets, all around his feet while he soders wires together and twists bits of machine onto other pieces]

Subatomic dual-focus relay emitter counteractor with a refracted light core. It looks simple, but it's actually fairly complicated.




[Experiment Start!]

[frustrated sound] I have! I'm Jack Harkness, the same one who you picked up during the London Blitz back in World War Two!

[He may be starting to sound the slightest bit desperate now]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[takes another step back] But you're not, are you? You've got Jack's mindset implanted into you, but you're not Jack. You just want to think you are. Why? Why are you doing this?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He takes two steps forward] I'm not doing anything. You're the one that's acting like a paranoid nutjob right now.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[two more steps back, looking around like he's about to make a run for it]

Nutjob? Jack wouldn't call me that. I knew you weren't him! I knew it!

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Oh no, you don't. [Jack clasps his hand down on the Doctor's shoulder before he can try to run]

Because normally you're not going around yelling about me being some sort of impostor!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[ducks and tries to run] You're not copying me, too!

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He tries to wrap his arms around the Doctor's waist. It should be noted that this is a move he normally enjoys, when it doesn't involve trying to get his friend to stop running off thinking that he's an evil impostor] Since when am I trying to copy you?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[the Doctor is normally much more adept with getting out of situations like this, but the panic and terror are beyond what he can normally control within himself and he starts flailing]

You're trying to convert everyone on the Plane! It converted Lucy! It's converted you! I'm next, am I?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He tightens his hold, though it's not enough to hurt the Doctor] And why would it do that? Who's it?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Why don't you tell me! You take the people I love, you replace them! Let me go!

[have an elbow to the stomach---sorry, Jack!]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You have no actual proof of that!

[Jack tenses and coughs, but rather than try and retaliate, he only holds on to the Doctor tighter]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to just leave him! I'm sorry...

[and we get a Venusian Akido move, this one will (hopefully!) flip Jack over his shoulder so the Doctor can make a run for it]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately, he was not expecting that. Thus he ends up flat on his back, wincing as the impact knows some of the air out of his lungs.]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[the Doctor stops, turns back to help, then turns and runs again, searching for help]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack sighs and shuts his eyes as he hears the Doctor run off, not even bothering to go after him. He mutters to himself for a few moment, then stands and goes off to find someone he can talk to about this]
