Just checking in. Hands in the air and all that. How are we all faring with the ~~teleforce~~ lightning guns/toclaphane invasion/hiding and attempting to stay safe and out of trouble?

[Jenny]
Are you busy?

	We're staying at the clinic for as long as they put us up, or at least until Arthur goes a little mad. It seems safer with Abigail. How are you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, yes! Congratulations! How is she? And you? And Arthur? Apart from the cabin fever? ~~Lonel~~ Oh, you know me. I'm always alright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's fine. Always awake when I need sleep most really. You're welcome to see her if you can get here safely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'd love to meet her. I like babies. They don't argue back. Unless they're like Jenny and turn up in their twenties. Anyway, I'll pop round! Once I have a moment, of course, but I'm sure the Ponds and Reinette would like to visit too. And if you'd like me to give anyone else a lift...?

They can't get in the clinic, can they? The toclaphane? The defenses everyone put are holding up well enough?

	I couldn't ask that of you. At the moment it seems that way. Thankfully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, it's no trouble. There's plenty of room. Good. ~~One less thing to worry about~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you for the offer but, again, I couldn't ask you to do that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Really wishing I spent some time with my best friend's sister, back home, since she could drop these things without any issue but I'm managing well enough, I guess. Only problem is, for every one of these ~~freaky human-headed spheres~~ things I drop, I swear to the Force ten more show up. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_ten_ 2011-01-06 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	Awh, of couse you are! You're all doing brilliantly. What would your friends sister from back home be doing? How are you dealing with them? ~~Makes sense to gather as many tec~~ Yeeeeees. It does make things difficult. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm using the Force and my lightsaber. Mostly my lightsaber. And Jaina knew how to wield Force lightning even though she wasn't a Sith. She could probably clear the streets of these things in a matter of minutes and it'd be really handy right about now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_ten_ 2011-01-06 03:53 pm UTC (link)
	That would be useful. At some point perhaps one of you could show me properly how this force business works? If we can get some kind of amplification then perhaps... Well, we'll see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doesntwearshoes 2011-01-06 04:24 pm UTC (link)
	It's Force, with a capital F. And sure, I don't mind showing you. If you're wanting to know all of the technical stuff about it too, though, Master Kenobi is probably a better bet. I understand midichlorians and everything, of course, but I only learned about most of it a few years ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_ten_ 2011-01-06 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Right. Sorry. Force. I had a brief chat with him, yes. Although then the Toclaphane came and I got rather busy and I'm rather sick of them turning up to be honest. They were enough hassle the first time. ~~But then the Master was in c~~ Anyway, I'd be very interested. Nosy, that's me. Plain nosy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. ~~Anything else I wouldn't care about but considering this is my way of life we're talking about, I~~ If we don't plug whatever hole they're coming through, they're never going to stop. ~~Especially not if they're what I think they are.~~ Which means I'm ready for show and tell whenever you are.

I think it's less of a hole than them being dragged from the end of the Universe by whoever brought us here. Which leaves it all a little up in the air. I think the best way would be to convince the Collector to just... send them back, like he does other people. Of course, thats a lot easier said than done and I'm rather starting to think I need to just start working out how they're doing it and holding it all in place. ~~There's probably another paradox machine involved, only~~

Maybe later tonight? I can come find you.

	It's been a couple of weeks and I don't even know how many deaths so far. I don't think whatever is keeping us here is going to just send them back. I'm not even sure how they're here at all. Sounds like a plan. Just let me know if you get busy and aren't going to show, please? I'm not going to hang around inside all night if you can't make it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Dad ilovetherunning 2011-01-06 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	Not at the moment. An entirely new wave, all shiny with sharpened knives and pinpoint accuracy just arrived so I thought it best I get off the streets for a bit. I was actually on my way to find you. Why? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I just needed ~~some company~~ another pair of hands. K-9's a very good dog but he's rather lacking when it comes to opposable thumbs. My own design flaw, really. But then he is a dog, so he'd look weird with fingers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dad ilovetherunning 2011-01-06 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	He'd certainly look odd but it'd come in awful handy, yeah? And that was a rather terrible unintentional pun if I do say so myself. Give me five minutes, maybe less, and I'll be there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jenny _ten_ 2011-01-06 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	Truely awful word-play, yes. Never mind. No' one laughs when I do it either. I'm not going anywhere. How are you doing with your exploding? ~~Which I really shouldn't approve of but these days~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I can't imagine why. There's nothing wrong with awful word-play. This place could certainly use some lightening up, at any rate.

I gave that up a few hours in, actually. I've mostly been helping get those still out there to safety. ~~You were right. Killing them doesn't make things any better and I~~

Oh! I did manage to make a few... alterations to Tesla's Tesla. Well, one of them at any rate. Well, two of them, if you count the one Ianto Jones has in his possession as well.

	Jenny _ten_ 2011-01-06 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	Good. ~~I'm prou~~ That's better than exploding. Much, much better. Well done. Ah! You know what they say about great minds, Jenny. And ours are, if I say so myself, very, very good. I've been working on it too. We should compare notes. Weeelll, not so much notes as charged particle beam projectors, but that doesn't have so much of a ring to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dad ilovetherunning 2011-01-06 04:57 pm UTC (link)
	Well. That went better than I thought. I'd expected at least one 'I told you so'. ~~And now I owe Ianto lunch.~~ Aha! I knew you'd be working on it too! It's quite a clever creation, isn't it? The man is brilliant. Completely ingenious, really, and now I can't wait to see what you've come up with! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought I'd leave it until we figure out how to stop people being turned to ash. But, for the record, I did tell you. He is. One the best! Apart from me, of course. But human-wise... He's an absolute genius. I don't know why I didn't think to meet him before... ~~Rose would have~~ Anyway, the doors open! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dad ilovetherunning 2011-01-06 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Hey now! No going back and tacking it on after the fact. That's... well, it's well within your right, of course, but scarcely fair! Right then! There in just a few! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Is there no way to get rid of these things for good? (Reply to this) (Thread)

As far as I can tell, the best we can do is take them all out and get a few hours or so of peace before more get sent through. It's not as if they're coming through an obvious hole in time or space, like before. They're being picked up from their point of origin by whatever brought all of us here and plopped down in the city. Which is rather inconsiderate. And I'm sure there's some kind of ~~paradox~~ machine meaning they can can be here at the same time as all of us, but I think even if we could find it, breaking it would cause this whole place to fall into the void or just... shatter. And I don't really want that to happen.

So, basically, I'm working on it.

	~~Whoa. That's a lot of words just to say 'I don't know' without even saying 'I don't know'.~~ Why does there have to be a machine for them to be here the same time as the rest of us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

2011-01-06 08:27 pm UTC (link)

Weeelll... you know what it's like with Time. Or maybe you don't. I don't know. Anyway, when you have two things from different points in time ~~especially on the same timeline~~, different realities or anything, all in together, you need something strong enough to stabilize it before you punch a huge hole in the Universe.

And I haven't seen a big hole in the Universe yet.

	askmetomorrow 2011-01-06 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	~~Why are you capitalizing~~ Honestly, I don't think I know what it's like with much of anything around here. Up is down, left is right, and nothing in this place is even close to normal all of that. But I think I understand what you're saying... and wouldn't this entire place need a machine like that, then?
