Illness
A Time Lord shouldn't be separated from his TARDIS. He knew this, it was a fairly simple, fairly straightforward rule that every Time Tot was taught back in the nursery. Time Lord and TARDIS were connected, part of a whole, part of a sum and all that. There were horror stories that Ushas used to tell over nightcom about Time Lords who had been without their ship for long periods of time and went insane, or worse. The "worse" was, of course, described in accurate, gruesome details, much to the 'ooooh'ing and 'aaaahhh'ing of those listening in.
The Doctor just never believed he'd be on the end of that sort of experience.
His ship was a lifetime away. More than that, lifetimes away, and he could feel it. He could feel the lack of a ship in his mind and it ached. More than ached, it was as if a large part of him was missing and he'd only just lost the anesthetics keeping the sensation of missing away.
He had meant to do a good deal today, most of which involved bothering the cook into frying chips and rewriting Reinette's library. These were his main plans, and they were good ones.
As it was, he was curled up on the floor of his bedroom, the shakes and stomachache from the night before having finally decided that his lack of response on the matter was unacceptable. He cried out sharply, a noise that only vaguely sounded human, and may have been a name.
"Reinette!"

Re: OOC
Thank you very much, though. The words are extremely sweet, and I agree, taking your time to read an RP like this means a lot. *hug*
As for the TARDIS key, it's in his jacket, which was tossed onto a table at the beginning of 2.04, so he doesn't have it. I believe, and Reinette-mun can agree or disagree, that these stuck-in-France storylines are great lead-ins to the AU her and I play in
Re: OOC
I'm a very recent arrival and really don't much know the actual RP's yet, but Ten/Reinette I can follow, so of course I would read it! (Besides... after 42, Ten in pain is absolutely HAUNTING me, and you pushed it into... even higher level!)
And ah, now I see - you did find a way out of it. My suggestion was just... because what the Doctor had to do really scared me (but he did have to!), and I wanted him to have some way out, if you hadn't figured any yet. I see you have, so... that makes me feel a little better.
Re: OOC
Ten-mun actually put together, very sweetly, a post that contains most of the threads based of this AU. It is in the relativespace link.
And don't forget, I am always open to getting our girls together!
42 owned me. :)
Re: OOC
Oh yes, and YES!
I have a 4-day weekend starting tomorrow, and I think I should catch up on a lot of things happening with the writers I'm interested in... or else I know I'd be missing a lot! (and I am sure
Ah yes. I just hope you don't expect Hen to work on that level... my skills are MUCH feebler!
42 owned me too. Chris Chibnall I have a love/hate thing for, started in Torchwood, but... the episode was brilliant (and I cried).
Re: OOC
You yes, I could read
YAY four day weekend!
Re: OOC
Same here. And I do.
And yay indeed!
And *takes a deep breath* I am posting something that I think MIGHT work... for RP. If you prefer I change the post to third-person-singular, let me know.

Re: OOC
I am very very sorry for the clumsy way I phrased the above comment. I wrote a Henriette prompt and five Torchwood drabbles - one for each in the team - yesterday before I posted that, and seems my writing skills got addled at some point, which is absolutely no excuse...
Let me explain... no, that will take too long. Let me sum up:
a. I'm a recent arrival to both fanfiction and RP
b. In the brief time I've been around, I have read and enjoyed and even written a reasonable number of smut (hmm. May I point out I entered it all through Torchwood?)
c. I've never yet read or otherwise come across a thread that is going into that direction and is so very intimate and sensuous. It did make me feel like I'm peaking in on something that's too much between two people and yet... it is so wonderful and fascinating that I couldn't tear myself from it. Brilliant work!
(And, just as a try to atone for the clumsiness, I don't know if you've seen it yet - a video that's mostly Ten/Rose - but of COURSE Reinette is in!!! - on Christina Aguilera's "Ain't no other man" - rather appropriate, I might add - here on youtube)
Re: OOC
Nothing to apologize for. At all. Got it?
And it wasn't clumsily phrased, I am just so very flattered that someone would like to read! I know Ten's mun and I put a lot of effort into the thread because we pic ideas that interest us (she is better with the idea part), but we care about the characters too and view this as building blocks as part of their past. She is the one that first encouraged me to explore Reinette, and I have been humbled at her feet ever since. We played at different ideas, than finally tackled the 'did they or didn't they *dance*', and the rest flowed from there.
a. I am about a five year veteran to RP and a bit longer to fanfic (Guiding Light anyone?), but am continually awed and challenged by what is out there.
b. Ahhhhhh TW. :) I have only written smut with two partners, but have read a great deal. I love both sides of that coin, when done right. I have this thing, in my head, to keep it *in character*. That if the entire scene played out, was replaced with pronouns, would you still read it and think, yes, that is Reinette.
c. That part? Just made my night before bed. Absolutely. Fel free to peek in anytime.
(And I think that is a GREAT vid!! I have several great Reinette one's saved))
Re: OOC
I do enjoy reading the work of both of you! Like, a lot. *shuffles feet uncomfortably* though I didn't get to catch up with the back story over the long weekend. It will be good reading for when I feel down, maybe...
The ideas, the execution, the flair, the ... taste and touch of what you are writing, they grab me and keep me there :)
And honestly? It was
a. Aww. Guiding Light? If that's what I think it is, yeah, I remember that! And five years... nice! *entered into the fanfic world last autumn... late autumn; entered into RP-ing... in January*
b. I've reached smut with two partners + 1 watching (um.. yeah, that was Torchwood and also my first fic...). And yes, smut is fun to read when done well. And yes, staying in character is so very very important for it to work. Though the test you have is a very, very high standard to write by, I think.
c. *hugs* sweet dreams then. I peeked some more...
(aaah... *scrambles over to youtube to find some*)
Re: OOC
Re: OOC
Thanks for the heads-up, and good luck! :)
Re: OOC
We are cheering you on!
Re: OOC
And please excuse my still-half-sleeping slip - I mean that the nominations of both of you are well-deserved :) I can't wait to see the last two categories!
And thank you :)
