Talk between companions. (Active/Closed)

Characters: Donna Noble and Rose Tyler
Content: Donna and Rose run into each other in the TARDIS and end up having a nice chat.
Setting: Somewhere in the TARDIS
Time: Afternoon-ish
Warnings: Nothing yet.

It was nice to finally sit down and somewhat relax, with everything that had happened in the short time since she'd walked through the gate. She still wanted to find out just what was going on around this place, and what had spooked the young woman so badly. It had been weird to just arrive in this place, and find the Doctor and Rose there too...but something had seemed off about both of them to her.

Rose hadn't known who she was, and the Doctor seemed to be missing part of his memory, if he even knew about things at all. In her journal he had mentioned 'dropping her off' and then arriving...which meant that was a big chunk of time.

It just didn't make sense.

Even when she was constantly traveling in the TARDIS, Rose could still get lost in it. And maybe it was because she sometimes wanted to, since when she really wanted to find her way back to the console room, she always did. She was content enough with wandering her halls, her rooms (she had made a stop in the wardrobe for old kicks, the TARDIS always had some good tastes). It was relaxing. A comfort to be back here, and forget for a minute that she was stuck on another world. She could pretend they were traveling through the vortex, even if she knew it felt differently.

When she stumbled across Donna, she froze, a bit surprised, and forgot just a bit that there were others staying in the TARDIS. Donna, Rosette, Chrno... It did make her smile; it wasn't like she didn't enjoy the company. So after the surprise she stepped closer with a smile and greeted the other woman.

"Hey there, Donna. Settled in?" Settled in... settled... back in? Hm.

Donna looked up when she heard the voice and saw Rose standing in the doorway of the room she was in. She smiled at her and set her journal down on the table next to her.

"As well as I can, I'd bet." She said. "Considering the events of the last bit, I'm just glad to be somewhere familiar. Even if I'm in a strange land." The strange land was normal though, even if she hadn't shown up there in her 'normal' fashion. She thought for a second.

"Rose, how long have you been here?"

Rose leaned against the doorway, crossing her arms lightly over her chest. "Yeah, having the TARDIS here is pretty helpful with that." She enjoyed it. "Donno what I'd do without this ol' girl." She cracked a grin.

How long had she been here?

That was a bit of a hard question... She wrinkled her nose in thought, then just decided a guess was best. "Maybe a month now? Time is kind of... strange here. I don't think the Doctor likes it much."

"I can understand that." Donna said, both to Rose's comment about the TARDIS and about the Doctor not liking the way time moved. She thought about her own timeline for a minute. If the Doctor had been gone that long...that couldn't be right, she'd seen him right before she'd shown up. That was strange all in itself.

"What do you last remember from home? I'm just trying to establish some sort of timeline in my head."

What did she last remember? That earned a bit of a cringe from Rose and she shifted to lean against the opposite side of the doorway. "Well. I was..." She ran a hand through her hair and looked away. "On a beach. In a parallel world." She bit her tongue on the rest. Saying her final goodbye to the Doctor, then running to her mum, and then to the Paixao gates. "Actually glad I'm here, really."

She looked back at Donna with a smile. "Sure, my family isn't here but... being there... it wasn't right."

"Parallel world, eh?" Donna mused out loud, thinking of parallel world she'd been sent to by that stupid beetle. But she didn't mention it out loud, considering Rose didn't seem to know who she was. Which would put her out of Donna's timeline...

And this was all making her head hurt.

"That's easy to understand." Was all she said.

Rose hadn't known Donna for long, but the woman didn't rub her the wrong way at all, and she found it a bit comforting to actually have another woman in the TARDIS. She didn't know much about her, about how she wound up traveling with the Doctor (and even he seemed confused about it, meaning she was farther in the future than them both). Rose did know that she couldn't... exactly know too much, even if she wanted. What would a little bit of extra information hurt?

But no, Rose knew better.

She kept quiet for a little bit, still hanging there, a bit lost in some of her thoughts, a bit just... enjoying other company. Donna could understand what Rose was talking about, at least; she knew the other woman wasn't lying.

Suddenly though, Rose grinned. "Hey, Donna," she said as she pushed away from the doorway, "have you seen a lot of the city yet? I... haven't. Ran into a bit of a trouble, going off on my own and all that. Meeting strangers. You know the deal, I bet." She took a step back into the hallway, still grinning. "How about a bit of girl-time in Paixao?"

"No, I haven't." Donna said after thinking for a moment. "I was about to do so, but I ran into Rosette, the poor lass." She shook her head. "I'm glad I was able to get in touch with the Doctor. She needs a safe place to stay, and I'll bet this is the safest." She smiled at Rose as she stood up.

"I don't see why not!" She laughed. "We're not going to be 'on our own' anyway. We'll be together, right?"

It was good that Donna had run into Rosette. That the girl had been in capable hands of someone safe. When they had heard that the girl had gone missing...

"Yep. Nothing gets into the TARDIS," Rose said cheerfully, knocking a hand to one of the walls. "Exactly," she continued, regarding their adventuring outside. Oh yes, she was liking Donna an awful lot already. "He can't complain about that." But then she paused, rubbing a hand through her hair in thought, and mumbling off a bit.

"Ah... but I'd bet you anything that he's run off on his own or something. Gotta leave a note behind, 'case he comes back and has a panic-attack." She couldn't do that to him. There were some kidnappings still afoot, and he'd probably assume the worst...

"More than likely, knowing him." She said with a slight scoff. "Probably expecting us to sit around and 'stay safe'." She laughed a bit. "But I agree with the note. I really don't want the poor spaceman to panic while we're off enjoying ourselves."

Donna wandered out of the room and into the hallway, headed towards the main area of the TARDIS. "Where should we leave it? It needs to be fairly obvious and visible. We don't want him to miss it." She tapped a finger against her lips, thinking.

Rose made it into the console room and paced around it in thought, thinking over Donna's question about where to leave it. "I suppose maybe somewhere on the controls... Though with him not flying about as much, he might not head over there as quickly..." She glanced around the TARDIS. "One of the doors, maybe?"

She leaned against one of the coral columns and frowned slightly. The Doctor was good at disappearing to random places in the TARDIS, but still popping up right when he was needed.

"I can't think of any one good place to put it." The Doctor could be too bouncy sometimes, and overlook the most noticeable of things.

Donna looked around the console room, thinking. Rose was right, with the fact that the Doctor was manually flying the blue box, he wasn't moving it around very much. Then she looked over towards the doors and had a brilliant idea.

"So, how much paper do we have?" She asked, eying the doors and doing a bit of mental math. "If we cover both doors, he's sure to notice, no?"

She followed Donna's gaze to the doors and then grinned. Oh yeah. "I'll be right back," she told Donna, before disappearing into a corner of the TARDIS.

When she returned, she had two pads (although one was already diminishing) of multi-colored post-its. She tossed one over to Donna, then fished out the sharpies that she had found as well. "He'll notice all right."

Rose moved over to the doors, an amused expression crossing her face. She held out the sharpies for Donna to take her weapon of choice.

Donna caught the flying post it pad and smiled. Oh, we'll get along just peachy. She thought with a smile as she slipped through the pad, taking stock of her ammunition.

Seeing Rose offer the Sharpies, Donna grabbed one that was a red color. The Doctor wouldn't be able to miss who left her half of the notes.

"Hey Spaceman..." Donna said out loud as she began to write across the sticky piece of paper.

Rose got to writing with a regular black Sharpie. She glanced briefly at Donna, a curious expression crossing her face. "'Spaceman'? That your nickname for him or something?" Not like it wasn't fitting.

She wrote variations and sentences spread across several post-its: Doctor, gone out with Donna -Rose and Don't worry, we'll stick together followed by we won't talk to ~~most~~ any strangers. She stuck them along the door, rocking back and forth on her feet with a grin. She was indeed having fun with this.

With some thought, she started to add: if you miss seeing these, maybe you really do need those glasses and can't say you didn't see our note, and just for good measure, a few saying we won't get ourselves kidnapped, we can stay out of trouble ~~I swear~~...

And they went on and on from there.

"Hmm? Oh, yes. I've called him that since I started traveling with him almost." She said, thinking back for a moment. "Besides, it fits pretty well, no?" She smiled and went back to scrawling her note on the pad of post-tis.

Hey Spaceman:

Rose and I are headed out for a little trip. Don't panic, we'll be fine and stick together. Remember, this is us, we're grown ups and we'll stick together and ~~try to not~~ won't get lost.

...and if you try to pull the 'I didn't see your note' I'm calling you blind for the rest of my, or your natural life.

That was only part of it, and she snickered a bit as she continued.

"It is." She might just call him it once to see how he reacts. She wondered how it'd sound coming from her. Probably strange. Could be worth an amusing expression, though.

Rose examined some of Donna's work, realizing that their minds worked quite the same way. Perfect.

She looked over their job, nodding with her approval. Only the best traveled with the Doctor, right?

Donna held up her paper-quilt-like sheet of post-its and smiled. It was big enough to cover at least half of one of the TARDIS doors. She had no idea how she'd managed to fill up the entire pad of the small pieces of paper.

She walked over to the door and stuck the entire thing there, laughing a bit.

"If he can't see that, I'm suggesting LASIK." She said, looking over at Rose. "So, where shall we be off to?"

Quina hasn't spent much time in Paixao and hasn't found out much about it yet so it's currently unaffiliated.

((*prods* I think you meant to post that here (http://community.livejournal.com/paixaoooc/639649.html) :D?))

((Shit. How did I manage to do that? XD I meant to post it there but obviously somehow ended up posting here by accident when I had more than one window up. Sorry about that and thanks for telling me))
