[Finding herself on the plane is Rose Marion Tyler, arriving from 1950's London and her own universe. Her gaze is lifted, fixed and unwavering to the sky and is riveted to the large, gaping hole above her. Several seconds pass, uncounted, in silence with her lips slightly parted in shock.]

Well, this is...different.

Can't imagine where I've ended up, or how I've made it here for that matter. Sure didn't come by TARDIS, and if..

[Her speech pauses as a hitched, startled sound comes from her throat, prompting a wild look cast over her shoulder. The same repeats in the other direction, and then twice more, frantic. A little breath comes roughly from her lips again, now filled with a note of panic.]

...and if I didn't come by TARDIS, then that means the Doctor's not here, either.

Right, then that's...well, didn't expect it, really. In London just a second ago, middle of the crowd after the coronation and then I'm just...here. Still haven't any idea where here is, but it's definitely not London. Not any place I've seen before, either, or heard about. The Doctor talked about..vortexes and things, but seeing one...

...don't...really have words for it.

[Another few moments pass and then Rose blinks twice, as if to pull herself mentally away from the hole overhead. A slightly strained smile twitches at the corners of her lips, in an attempt to be confident but falling short.]

Right, then! Well, am I alone here? Got to be someone else around, right? Someone who can tell me what's going on?

Anyone? Hello!

[Her gaze follows down, and the sight of the stars takes a little gasp from her lips.]

Do we...meet ourselves, then? Am I going to be walking somewhere, doing something, and come face to face with..myself?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

I would imagine it will happen eventually.

OOC:Since I can't go back and edit Paradisa fail, please know I meant to type 'Plane' and epic tired stepped in. LOL You are NOT in Paradisa Rose.

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

Has it happened to you? Or to anyone that you know here?

OOC: It's okay! I'm epic tired, too, and didn't notice until after we'd moved past it. :)

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Not to myself, no. At least that I am aware of. But it seems to happen a great deal to the Doctor. There are a great many people that seem to wear his face.

[some of which is not her story to tell]

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

How is he? The Doctor, I mean, here. I was just with him a few minutes before I came here.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[that is a difficult question to answer]

Which one?

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

[she isn't sure if she likes that answer, but won't question it as truth]

I guess the best question would be about all of them.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Well enough, I would imagine.

[a breath]

I am perhaps the wrong person to ask that of.

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

Why would you say that?

[she is curious now, and maybe a bit alarmed]

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[there is a movement if her hand]

I am none of their confidant.

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

[she nods then, slowly]

Are you their friend?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

I suppose I might be called that, yes.

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

I'm glad.

[she means it, too]

And I'm glad to be seeing you again. Didn't think I'd ever get that chance.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[at that Reinette smiles]

That is the beauty of this place.

[now Rose lets herself relax a little more]

Can anyone come and go here?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

I do not know about anyone. You may come and go however, once you master it.

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

Have you mastered it yet?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

I have. I once even used it to --

Well, you will master it as well, soon enough.

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

Used it to..what?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

Once I brought myself here to die.

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

[that was most definitely not the answer she was expecting!]

What happened, when you came here?

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

I did just as I intended. I died.

And then I returned.

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

[the idea of death will never be an easy one to her, not at all]

I'm glad you came back.
