[Jack is wandering on one of the edges of the city, getting steadily closer to the Wastes. When he sees the PCD's activated, he speaks in a crisp and business-like voice.]

The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond have gone home. The Tenth is -- that shouldn't happen. Not here, he should -- ...Dammit. [A sigh.]

I knew there was a reason I never liked December all that much.

Both Doctors are gone?

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

The Tenth is -- He's dead. So he'll be back, but who knows when or if he'll even remember.

[Perhaps this is part of why he'd lashed out at Lord Saxon before.]

I am sorry, Captain. I know they were good friends to you. And Lady Amy was most kind. But, she will be with her husband again, will she not? That is a good thing.

[She's not touching the Doctor, because she can't say anything nice about the Eleventh one. Not after personality-swap week. But she manages a kind smile when speaking of his predecessor.]

The Doctor here will recover, worry not. We shall keep him safe until he does.

[likesavantgarde]

I'm sorry, Jack. He'll be back though, won't he?

[ Yeah, totally on his way to your room whether you want him to be there or not, to check up on you and make sure you don't do anything rash. ]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Yeah, eventually. It's just -- he shouldn't die.

[No, he just likes lashing out at the Master.]

Yeah, Rory was a good bloke. I'm just -- it's odd.

[He looks down for a moment or two.]

I know.

[But it makes you look better if she thinks this, Jack.]

It is difficult when those for whom we care leave this place. We are happy and sad at the same time. At least, that is how it is for me, with one exception.

When he wakes, I shall tell him you worried for him, Captain.

I am sorry to hear.

Mind if I ask what happened to your other friend?

[Video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

...Thank you.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

[A little flatly:] He died.

[eternally17.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry.

What happens when you die here? What would happen in the world you were from?

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

You come back, but the animus take something, or so I've heard.

At home, he'd regenerate.

[eternally17.livejournal.com]

[He looks a bit surprised.] I hope that he is saved from losing anything too precious.

Is it the Animus that returns people to life, or do they only take something?

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I haven't died here yet. I don't think they took anything from Rory.

[eternally17.livejournal.com]

Yet? You make it sound inevitable.

[likesavantgarde]

Shouldn't, or cant?

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

[Well, he has died, actually, but that's the thing about being immortal.]

With me around, darling, it generally is.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

[That gets an annoyed huff.]

Both, I don't know. Not like that, anyway, not because of some damn animal in this place.

[capuletnomore]

You are welcome.

[cpt-namesake.livejournal.com]

You sound like you could use some company.

[likesavantgarde]

This place is dangerous, Jack. We all know that.

[ Also, knock knock. He doesn't wait for Jack to open the door before he's coming in. ]

Hi.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's him.

[He sighs and sits on the bed.]

Hullo.

[video]

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

[A pause.] I probably could.

[video]

[cpt-namesake.livejournal.com]

Send me your coordinates, then. Maybe I can cheer you up.

[jackedthename.livejournal.com]

(x,y) I'll be here.
