[Day 237] Relationship Issues Group Therapy mingle
[The relationships group therapy attendees will all get a message telling them to report to The Winery in Sector 2. Sadly for them the alcohol is locked away, but there is an assortment of food and non-alcoholic beverages along the bar for consumption. Many of the tables have been cleared out and the chairs rearranged into a circle with booths along the edges for more intimate therapeutic discussions.

And don't forget the party favors! The wardens have left some helpful games and activity ideas to get them started. There's a bowl full of folded slips of papers with various questions.]


How many people have you slept with? Do you regret any of them? Why?

How many relationships have you been in? Why do you think that is?

What was your longest relationship? Most serious? Shortest? Most casual?

Why did your last relationship end?

What do you look for in another person?

Are you happy?

Who is your ideal mate?

What was the biggest problem/complication in your previous or current relationship?

What do you need out of a relationship? Sexual experience?

How long have you been single between relationships? Why do you think it was so long/short?

What is the best way to break up with someone?

Do you believe in soul mates? Do you think you have or will meet yours?

Would you rather spend your life with one important person or several acquaintances? Why?

Are there any similarities between the people you've been with? If so, what are they?

Do you have trouble making choices? Give examples.

Do you think with your heart, your head, or your genitalia? Are you satisfied with this behavior?

Do you have trouble relating to people? If so, in what way?


[In addition to the questions there are cards with various prompts. One explains the game, I Never. Another suggests people pair off and roleplay they are in a relationship and then deal with various scenarios like what do to if one partner flirts with someone else or comes home late without calling.]


Who should do the dishes?

When is it appropriate to discuss getting blue bands/having sex?

When should you move in together if ever?

What do you do if you suspect the other is keeping secrets?

What do you say if your partner comes home with a haircut you don't like?

How do you respond if you find your partner crying?

How do you decide how to spend your time together?

Your partner's family doesn't like you. What do you do?

One of you is critically hurt. How does the other respond?

Your friends don't like the person you're with. What do you say to them? What do you say to your partner?

One of you wants sexual relations and the other does not. How do you balance your needs?

How do you communicate your desire for a particular sexual desire to your partner?

It is your partner's birthday. How do you prepare?

At a party your partner leaves you to socialize with others. How does this make you feel and how do you respond?

How do you show your affection?


(OOC: Mingle style. You are not limited to the questions, scenarios, or games listed above. Assume there are more! I recycled a lot of this from last time so if someone was in this group twice they can feel free to notice, but assume there are lots of questions and prompts, so they probably didn't see them all.)

TARDIS blue. [The answer is immediate and she looks a little startled that she said it. But she smiles and moves to the table with the food and drink.]

I guess alcohol is considered a poor therapy method.

[She pours herself a cup of tea instead. British to the last.]

What were you planning on doing at the library?

It might make things more interesting. [But since he can't grab a beer, not that he would in the morning, probably, he'll get some orange juice instead.]

Class is tomorrow. I was going to put some notes together and figure out which thing I'm going to lecture on. I haven't been very good at the preplanning I guess. [More like he plans too many things and isn't sure which one to go with especially with the sensitive nature of the topics he brings up.]

What's a TARDIS? A kind of bird?

[Morning, yes. But if she was forced to be here, it was useful. Tea was OK.]

I never told you about the TARDIS? Oh... right we talked about...

Anyway, the TARDIS is a space ship. And a time machine. Time and Relative Dimension in Space. That's what it stands for. I me someone who took me on travels through both time and space. It was... it was wonderful. So completely wonderful.

Up until... well you know the ending.

[The smile she had been wearing falters a bit as she mentions the bit she managed to spill at Christmas.]

[He nods. He's not exactly sure how it all fits together and factors in, but clearly things were reset with her timeline so can a time traveling device be that strange in context?]

It sounds amazing...and useful. And dangerous. [His mouth runneth over as he imagines the scenarios.]

There's very specific rules about time travel. I'm not sure I fully understand them. But they keep a lot of the danger out. If you mean rewriting time.

And remember, I did get to meet Shakespeare. I've also seen the moon landing. And so many wonderful things Sam. Oh I wish you could have seen them too. It's just... it's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

[He smiles, but there is a thoughtful look in his eyes. After all, here they are.] It sounds like you miss it.

[Her smile looks a little sad as she continues.]

I do somedays. It's why I work where I work. But it's caused its share of problems, most pressing being how do you tell someone you defend the earth from aliens without getting carted off.

[Especially when that someone is your now ex-fiance]

Easiest way? Introduce them to an alien. Just not the safest probably.

Depends on the alien. The Doctor would probably grin at them, talk way too fast, and then offer to take them on a trip in the TARDIS.

It's fine. Over now. And it's not like I'll run into him here.

[She's already spilling. This is not good.]

No. Yes. He broke up with me.

[She's not going to tell him anything else OK. She's just going to shut her mouth and...]

I deserved it though. I'm not exactly the best partner.

[That's not shutting your mouth Martha!]

... You've learned more about me in a few weeks than he ever knew in... two years.

I don't know that complicated covers it.

Surrounded by creatures and aliens in an underwater prison? Perhaps. Doesn't excuse the secrets.

You were probably just trying to protect him. As far as excuses go, it's not the worst.

That's exactly what I was trying to do. It's dangerous knowing me. There's any number of aliens out there that could use him against me. It's for the best.

[She'll just work on believing that OK.]

No.. I suppose it's not.

I feel like I should have more helpful things to say, but all I've got is that it sucks. [His own sigh.] A lot.

Ever so eloquent. It'll turn out right in the end I'm sure. He'll find someone with a normal life to have a normal life with. And my work is fascinating.

[He nods. There was a time when he wanted nothing more than a normal life and someone normal to spend it with.] You'll just have to find someone fascinating to go with it. [He hopes that doesn't insult the memory of her guy. He doesn't mean it that way. He just wants things to turn out okay for someone. Why is that always so much to ask?]

Doesn't seem to be an issue here. The fascinating people.

[She holds his gaze a little too long as she says it before looking down at her food.]

But back home. That's a bit more difficult. Though who knows. Perhaps there's the perfect UNIT soldier waiting for me back home.

You never know, right? Not Jack though? [Kidding a little. Also maybe curious a little. The guy is his section leader.]

Jack! [She laughs as though the idea is the funniest she's heard.] While I'm sure he and I could have a very fun night, he has Ianto. And I will not get in the way of that.
