[Alex is confused. This is extremely obvious by the way she's standing, mouth slightly open, blinking at the sky.]

No...

[She looks around. She puts a hand to her head, feeling the gauze dressing she's become accustomed to. It feels real enough, but that's an old trick, isn't it?]

This is absurd. Completely. It's all in your head, Alex, just like last time, you knew this could have happened again but...

Well, to be fair, my mind could have conjured up something just a bit more familiar, couldn't it have? I mean, I think I bloody owe myself that much.

[Her eyes close for a moment. If it looks like she's just trying to will the Plane away, well, that's precisely what she's doing.]

I'd put up with Gene Hunt over this. But really, is 2008 too much to ask for? London, Earth, 2008, I made it back once already, wasn't that enough?

[She's shouting now, at the star-speckled sky, possibly at the point of hysteria. But don't expect her to go admitting it.]

I'm not leaving there again, you hear me? I am not going through this again!

[Drat!]

...It was at first; but eventually I got used to it.

[poshmouthytart.livejournal.com]

It looks like I best get used to it, too. Maybe this kind of thing only happens to people who can handle it.

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

...A good theory; it'd certainly explain a lot about the people here.

[poshmouthytart.livejournal.com]

Do people here tend to have experience with this kind of thing themselves? I mean, back wherever they came from?

[firstmadeson.livejournal.com]

I doubt that anybody here experienced anything exactly like this before- but I think most have faced some sort of hardship in their life.

[poshmouthytart.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[She actually looks disappointed. It probably would have been a comfort to hear "SURE, EVERYONE TIME AND SPACE TRAVELS HERE, ALEX."]

I suppose the best we can do is hope most of those hardships have come to an end.

[Yes, but that would be a lie- FOR HE LIVES IN A WORLD OF BLISSFUL DENIAL~]

Indeed, and that if any more come along that we find the means of fixing them in this place.

[Alex wishes she lives in a world with more blissful denial and less heavy eyeliner and bad perms.]

You seem to be rather optimistic about all of this. I suppose I could use some optimism, as well.

[Sorin lived through that era, man. He still hasn't quite recovered now- even if he has managed to whack all the Eighties Elites out of those silly habits]

It appears that I cannot get rid of this place so I might as well try to accept it. At least it is a peaceful interruption.
