Day 218 Action: Open
Since Rose left to go back to her own apartment and with Ianto and Jack busy doing what she suspected they were doing, Martha had spent quite a bit of time by herself. She'd gone to the one Investigation Team meeting, but mainly stayed to the outskirts watching and observing. Today she was running errands.

Her day started with a trip to the library. After picking up three books, she made her way to the sector three gardens. Martha had taken up meditation, and though she wasn't very good at it yet, it was helping her calm her mind and think through her predicament. If one were to stumble across her at the library, they'd find her in the medical section or the self-help section. In the gardens, she found a quiet spot to meditate. Most noticeable about her were the three lines of stitches on the back of her arm starting near her wrist and disappearing under her sleeve. Second most notable were the books either in her arms or next to her on the ground: two on advanced medical knowledge and a self-help book on losing one's fiance.

It was Rose's second trip to the library but she wasn't sure what kind of book to get this time around. She had spent hours poring over most of the books in the library but Rose didn't take any with her; she was currently making her way through the aisles, occasionally stopping to see if there was anything of interest to her.

Just rounding a corner from the medical shelves, Martha stopped short to keep from bumping into the other woman.

"Excuse me! I didn't hear anyone else in the area." Perhaps she shouldn't be walking so fast. She shifted her books, glad that the advanced medical books were on top. "This way's all medical if that's what you're looking for," she added, ever helpful even though she wasn't asked.

Rose would be quick enough to dart out of the way before colliding through the use of her enhanced speed. But she wasn't revealing her vampiric nature to someone she didn't know.

"It's okay. No harm done." She assured her with a smile. "Ah, no. Not what I'm looking for but thanks. Do you work here or are you a frequent visitor?" Rose appreciated the help in any case.

"Visitor. I'm Martha," she mentioned by way of introduction as she proffered a hand to shake. As she extended her right hand, the material of her sleeve shifted to reveal the hard-to-miss stitches that disappeared under the sleeve.

"Rose. Good to meet you Martha. Always nice to hear a familiar accent." There were quite a few of her fellow Brits here. She took the offered hand and shook it, noticing the stitches almost immediately. "What happened?" Her eyes widened a little, her tone full of concern. Did someone or something attack her or was it just an accident?

Martha looked a tiny bit confused at the question before her eyes snapped down and noticed the stitches as well. Right. She'd have to get better about covering those! She wasn't sure how much Rose would know about the truth, and she didn't really want to cause untoward panic as there'd been no other reports of a giant wolf.

"I was part of some giant dog's game of prey it seems. It underestimated me." She tried to keep her tone light, as though it were no big deal and that she hadn't been scared for her life in those moments.

Dawn is in the library a lot. She reads frequently and quickly and is exchanging one book for another almost daily. Plus, the ambiance of a library is just cool, almost homey without even being home. She spots Martha, who she remembers from the therapy session from afar and almost skips-walks over to her. She smiles brightly at her. "Hey Martha. How are things? What'cha reading?"

Martha smiles at the younger woman as she skips up and tips her stack of books to show the first one, a treatise on brain chemistry. Incidentally, tipping the stack the way she does hides the bottom book from view but reveals the stitches on her arms. Those are easier to explain.

"If I have infinite time, I might as well learn more. And then if we ever find a way out, I could get multiple qualifications. How are you Dawn? Looking for something specific?"

"Oooo a little light reading?" She understands wanting to learn things. She and Martha can bond over reading and learning all the things. It's actually one of the positives of being here and Dawn is actually glad there's a bright side... one or two bright sides.

Of course then she also notices the stitches on Martha's arm and a look of concern is suddenly there. "Ohmigosh. What happened? A brain-type of accident?" She's going with the theme of the book.

Martha laughs at the idea of brain chemistry being light reading and nods along. Then her brow furrows? Right. "The stitches? Not a brain accident. Honestly, that'd be a bit freaky if a brain accident caused that. Unless you're not imagining a giant brain running around like I am. Then maybe it's entirely possible."

No, Martha didn't answer the question. She's hoping for some misdirection with the idea of giant brains.

She was joking about it being light reading and is glad that it gets a laugh. And for a moment, she's easily diverted to another topic. "I've seen brains in jars before. In a science class, not in a creepy brain collector way. But I bet there are people out there who do the brain collecting."

Her nose wrinkles. "Which... ew. Right? Like what's wrong with stamps or baseball cards?"

It's a happenstance of bad timing that Elena didn't run into Martha at the library, although she was there too. Between taking classes and trying to help Bonnie rediscover her magic, it's been kind of her number one place -- and now that Elena lives in sector three, sometimes she likes to take herself to the gardens afterwards, for some time to herself. To read, study, write, or take a walk; it doesn't matter what occupies her, just that she's alone and she finds the grounds serene. A place she can go to get away from it all and the surreality of the dome. Kind of her own personal dome within the dome. (The irony this isn't lost on her.)

She's carrying a few books on magic, looking for her own quiet place to sit and read for the afternoon. She turns past a row of low trees, and that's when she comes across Martha meditating rather suddenly. "Oh." She doesn't mean to disturb her, but her soft exclamation probably already has. "I'm sorry, I didn't see-" Elena points from the direction she came.

Martha had heard Elena coming before she entered the area and was already smiling up at the woman as she came round the corner.

"Don't worry, I'm rubbish at meditation anyway. My brain just won't click to neutral" As she looked the woman over, Martha noted the books in her arms though from the angle she couldn't see what they were about. And Martha wasn't seriously looking anyway considering she was keeping her own selections rather secretive if possible.

Elena calms at Martha's reassurances, visibly relaxes with an exhales and lets out a small smile. She notices her books too, but only passingly. "I know the feeling."

The girl looked familiar and Martha studied her for a moment before remembering, "You were at Sam's class about White Women! I knew I recognized you from somewhere. I'm Martha."

[Sam is in the library at the same time finishing up notes for his class a little later in the day. It may just be chance that he looked up from his work on the table just as Martha was coming out from one of the aisles.] Hi.

[She even gets a smile.] We run into each other a lot, don't we?

[Martha looks up almost guiltily when she hears someone speak up, but she relaxes at the sight of Sam. He knows enough bits and pieces of her life that to see her coming out of the self-help section is not too odd. She smiles back.]

I just came to get some books. [Here she flashes the one on brain chemistry she'd grabbed from the medical section]

What's your excuse?

[He nods at the title, thinking it sounds interesting and wondering why she made that choice, but he'll answer her question before asking any of his own.] Checking to see if they had anything on wendigos. If you've ever heard of that. [Or even if you haven't!]

[She shrugs and takes a seat at the table across from him, obviously interested.]

Subject for your next class?

Never heard of anything by that name. Maybe it'll correspond to some alien I know.

You caught me. It's later today if you can make it. [A moment of caution.] You might want to eat before hand though.

If it does, I'd like to know about the alien.
