Jamie brushed his hair, brushed his teeth, tugged his ears and generally righted himself, pulling on slacks and a button up before wandering out into the sunshine.

He tilted his head back to look at the sky saying, absently, "You know, I'd give my left heart and testicle for some actual weather."

Back and forth, all this shifting back and forth. There had to be a way to stabilize something so that doors didn't randomly open and let people stumble in and out, between the limbo of this place and hours or days or years somewhere else.

But that would take Tosh, at the very least. And Jack for guidance. Or to shake his head and tut when they messed it up again, but it had to start somewhere.

And Jack, in his greatcoat, just down the corridor ahead of her, was where she'd start. "Jack!" She ran to catch up.

Estelle didn't want to admit it at first, but she'd been disappointed when she'd returned home. She'd missed the sense of adventure that surrounded the mysterious place. Still, it was good to feel like she was helping out with the war again. Things weren't going well at all.

It was with mixed emotions that she returned to this place out of time. She reclaimed "her" room and headed down to the bar to see who else was there.

Owen had the right of it. They needed--she needed--to talk to Jack and figure out what was going on. More, what they were going to do about it. She just...didn't know where he was, exactly. So she wandered toward the bar, calling, "Jack Harkness. Captain Jack Harkness? I'd like a word with you."

It wasn't often that Gwen had traveled far enough afield that she stayed in a hotel room. Still, if she'd had any sense, she'd have asked Jack for a double shot of Retcon and gone on about her life after nearly ending up dead.

So she showered, dressed, and tried not to think about how certain she was that she'd slept in her own bed last night as she went to the lobby for coffee.
