September Catch All + Fairy Tail Guild Invasion by DW cast & OTA

[bigbadrose]

[September will find Rose increasingly more and more scarce, until she almost all but disappears until the second week of October. She went from attending as many of the 12th Doctor's lectures, and even hanging around the campus of Attleton University testing products ostensibly; but after the first week of September, she pretty much disappears for a bit. No sign of her on the network, and even around the TARDIS, or her usual haunts, she's hard to nab. Even for someone like Captain Jack Harkness who spent a good portion of a century tracking her and has a good bond link to make sure she's safe will find Rose a bit scarcer than usual. 3 years of acting like a ghost has made it a lot easier for her to be invisible in a crowd if she wants.]

[Whatever appearances in public appear to be marketing and testing related, survey, and throwing things literally into fountains or against walls or collecting data.]

[But finally she makes a small appearance on the network!]

First round of drinks is on Mirajane. All of the Doctors are required to make a presence or I'll make life hell for ya, more'n usual, yeah? [Tongue out to the side.] River, Martha, Jack, Gwen, Demyx, Koishi, Satori, Belle, Rory, Amy, and apologies to anyone I forgot. [Laughs.] You can make excuses, but I'm draggin' ya all out for at least one drink. Be there! Everything after the first drink you're on your own.

But since I'm officially quittin' after this crazy last month, I might be able to spot ya. Some.

[Grins.]

[And locked to Demyx:] First mission, find us a suitable tower. Nova city. Price is negotiable. Capacity for modifications is not.


[And indeed anyone hitting up the Fairy Tail Guild during the first round of drinks on Rose / Mirajane can probably sneak in a free drink by saying they're friends with Rose Tyler. Just might want to make sure you actually know who that is if pressed.]

Jack was a fixed point in time. He didn't look right. [Then eyes Rose] And something blue tried to shake Jack off too.

[Then gulps down the rest of the half of glass of wine]

This is why - we don't talk about spoilers. It's one thing for that to happen in the moment, it's another to know before that moment comes.

I may be able to see what is, what was and what will be - but I never know my own future.

[mira_strauss]

Then should you really be worrying about what's going to happen? Unless it's a fixed point in time it might not happen again and you can do things differently. Maybe I'm speaking without the experience of a timelord about how time and space works, but I think you need stop worrying about the future so much and focus a bit more on the present. You're here, she's here, and what's important is what you decide to do not what you're going to do eventually.

[Mirajane's getting huffy now with her hands on her hips, talking in a matter of fact, no nonsense sort of way.]

[borntolove]

[He snapped again]

Oh shut up. [And hits the wine glass onto the floor] She chewed me up for a month about this. Right away in fact. It wasn't a lovely reunion when she got here when I was excited and running to meet her and hug her, no that was too much to ask for! After having not seen her for some time! I wanted to make it about here - two months ago - but no. All we did was fight and telling me everything wrong that I did.

[bigbadrose]

[Pinkens with embarrasment and carefully picks up the pieces of the glass with knapkins, not about to let Mirajane do it.]

Stop.

Doctor.

Stop.

It's not Mirajane's fault.

[Gives him a hurt look.] You don't get it, Doctor. You still don't.

You got so focused on seeing me again, you died. Jack had to save us. Both of us. That's why I'm scared.

Please.

Just. Leave it be for now, yeah?

[mira_strauss]

[Mira... is not handling the broken glass quite as well as Rose is. She puts a hand on Rose's shoulder to steady herself, and to remind herself that the Doctor was Rose's guest here.]

Doctor... I understand that you're upset, I understand that you are hurt by the fact that Rose wanted answers you could not give her.

[Her face glints with a definite hint of danger.]

But if you cause further trouble in this bar, I may have to ask you to step outside.

[borntolove]

[Stands up and gives Rose a reassuring hand squeeze; with whatever hand doesn't have glass in it and walks off]

[bigbadrose]

I'm sorry for him, Mirajane.

[mira_strauss]

[Just... another sigh from Mirajane.]

I'm sorry too Rose. I thought I could help, but...

[You can't help those who refuse it.]

I don't know if I could have handled that much better than I did.

[It was... rare... incredibly rare for Mirajane to lose her temper so much that she would get physical, but she came very close if not for Rose being here. She took her bar very seriously, and had even tried to go out of her way to treat him, and to help him. Perhaps she'd just... misjudged him being all that different from the crotchety old doctor after all.]

[bigbadrose]

No, it's not you... it's me. Really. Sorry. [Biting her bottom lip.] You had it under control until I tried to help.

[mira_strauss]

[She just... gives Rose a great big hug.]

Don't beat yourself up too much, okay? We're all only human... or timelords or whatever. We all make mistakes, and what's important is what we try to do to fix them.

[Like Rose trying to pick up the pieces that the Doctor left shattered... there was almost a bit of poetic, metaphorical, symbolism to that act.]

I swear you're much too good for him Rose. He's not handling any of this with very good maturity, but I think that's because he does care so much. So don't give up hope, okay?
