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.

	"Definitely met one of the ones from the future," Martha said with a smile. "Though he doesn't always talk about it. Haven't met many from the past. At least not from a past distant from mine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm not sure I would ever want to know about the future," she replied, taking a moment to glance through the books before looking back to her. "Just how far into the future out of curiosity?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Martha smiles. "He says 51st century. I don't mind knowing about it as long as it's not in my lifetime." [Aside from the fact that crossing timelines can be sticky...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One of her eyebrows raise. "That's quite far ahead from the both of us." Rose could say a lot about the past but that was about it. Another thought occurs to her shortly after she spoke. "He's a time traveller, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-05-22 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Martha laughs. "A time traveler? Yes... yes I suppose he is. And he's been through so many different times. Definitely an interesting man. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rose joins in on the laughter. "I met someone here a while ago who said he was a time traveler. Called himself 'The Doctor'. You wouldn't happen to know him, would you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Martha's grin fades just slightly at the name. She didn't get to see him much when he was around, and she really regrets that now that he's gone. But she smiles again and nods. "He was one of my best friends outside this place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-05-24 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh." She replies quietly, wondering if she should have even mentioned it in the first place. "You might see him again someday. Either in here or back home." Rose hopes that it may be a comfort to her but she wouldn't know for sure until she heard what Martha had to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-05-27 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Martha nodded. "Hopefully back home. As much as I'd love to see him here, I also don't want him stuck here. It feels selfish to want him here for comfort. And if I see him back home, it means we got out." Yes, Martha did use the word we. If she found a way out, it would be a way out for everyone and not just herself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She understood where she was coming from, even if there was a certain person that Rose would love to see in the prison. Her best friend of five hundred years who was now dead thanks to an Original vampire. "I get what you mean. A lot of people would love to get out of here and I don't blame them." Except she would rather stay because at least she was alive here. "You want to help everyone, don't you?" It was admirable.

Martha looked confused by the question. "Why wouldn't I? If I found a way out of here and took it for myself, that'd be an awfully selfish way to live. I mean, sure most of the people here have done things that are bad. At least when they read my crimes out, some of them made sense. But I've been atoning for them. And the friends I have here? They have too. To stick us in a prison like this is not helping anyone."

She shrugged a little. "Some people aren't that selfless. It's refreshing to see it." Rose would like to think she would share a way out if she discovered it but she wouldn't take advantage of it for herself. "I know that a lot of people don't deserve to be here, some of them are my friends." Rose offered Martha a small smile. "Who knows? Maybe you'll be the one who does find a way out for everyone. You certainly seem to have the drive for it."

	Martha looks down as if uncomfortable with the praise. "Well, I have a good network here... and I've met a lot of people who seem to do this too. So between all of us, something should turn up. But I'm sorry, I'm keeping you from your reading." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What? No. It's okay. I've enjoyed our conversation, Martha. The reading can wait, I've got plenty of time." Rose grants her a reassuring smile. It was always nice to meet new people in the prison and hear their stories. "I'd like to continue it some other time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2013-06-03 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	Martha nods. "I'd love to continue it later. It was good meeting you Rose." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-06-03 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	"You too, Martha. I'll see you some other time." With a soft smile she gives her a wave before heading down another part of the library. (Reply to this) (Parent)
