[Maybe you're at the media store or educational center to play your disc. Maybe you're just out and about somewhere contemplating what you saw or whether to see it. Either way, you're bound to run into someone!]

	[He chuckles.] I think it's fairly safe to say he doesn't exist in my reality. I'm pretty sure if he did I'd have bumped into him by now! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably. We saw reapers before we saw him, but you probably would have noticed them too. Someone only you could see before you died. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-01-30 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	Reapers? I assume you're not talking about big dragon-like creatures with tails like scythes, who pop up at points where there's been a wound in time to mop and up and seal the rift? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-30 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	I don't. That would make them interesting. They look human. They take souls to heaven or hell. Or they try to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-02 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	Doesn't sound too different, really. Our Reapers kill people too. Well - eat them, to be precise. Or so I'm told. I've never seen any, but the Doctor and Rose had an incident with some once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-02 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	These reapers are just doing their jobs. It gets messy of people aren't allowed to die. [Said Sam Winchester to Jack Harkness. Yep.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-03 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	[Jack's lips twitch in amusement, but he lets it go.] Yeah, I think that's mostly what ours are for too. People not dying when they're supposed to can have a massive impact on the timelines. [And then, because he's Jack and he can't resist:] Just think how much impact I must have made when I became immortal! Just as well I like making an impact, I guess! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-04 06:10 am UTC (link)
	If it happened where I'm from I bet there'd be a few unhappy people. Not everyone is big on Dean and I having multiple second chances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-07 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, believe me, there are a few unhappy people where I'm from too. [Dryly, thinking of the numerous attempts to bump him off permanently over the years.] Of course, here, now, we all seem to be more or less immortal, at least while we remain virtual. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-08 01:04 am UTC (link)
	Depending on how well they take care of our bodies anyway. At least I assume they need our bodies for this. It's a lot of upkeep otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-09 08:15 am UTC (link)
	Well, from what people saw when they found us all in those pods, it sounded like they were looking after us. Were you one of those who went through? I'm still kinda miffed that I missed that one! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-09 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	No, the doors were all shut again before I could find my way to one. I wasn't part of the coup in the last prison either. So, I'm pretty much going on other people's descriptions for everything when it comes to real versions of the prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-14 01:03 pm UTC (link)
	It's a bit frustrating not having seen it, isn't it? Not that I disbelieve anyone who says they saw it, but... It's not the same as getting it first-hand, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-16 01:45 am UTC (link)
	I'm with you there. [He's taken every note he can, but it's not the same. People don't always look for or notice the things he wants them to and even if they did getting them to remember it is another thing.] So, how was your disc? [Seems only fair since Jack could see his, not that he asked to.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-20 11:25 am UTC (link)
	[He nods, and then takes a breath at the change in subject, realigning his thoughts.] Kind of nostaligic. It was a montage of my time travelling with the Doctor and Rose - how we met, right up to how we parted. Better than yours, I guess, though it ended with my first death so we've got that in common! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-20 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	I guess we do. Maybe the wardens were feeling morbid. Or just wanted us to. They aren't the best hosts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-21 11:47 am UTC (link)
	[His lips twitch.] Yeah, for all their talk of rehabilitation and mental wellbeing, they're supremely fond of mucking that up for us, aren't they? Still, however nostaligic it's made me, I'm oddly okay with this one. It's nice to have a memento of that time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-21 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Mine might have some valuable clues at least. I guess it'll work out for both of us. Maybe they're making us look on the bright side. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-23 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	There are a surprising number of bright sides to being here, actually. In some ways, I can't help feeling like they've done us a favour. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-25 05:01 am UTC (link)
	A favor? I mean, I can understand that for some people, but you think all of us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-26 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	Uh, well, perhaps not all of us. [Perhaps he was projecting a little, there.] I was mostly thinking of myself and Ianto. ...You got good things to try and get back home for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-29 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	[That question stops him short for a moment.] Good might be a stretch. I have important things I thought needed to be done. ...I guess I'm less sure about that now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-03-03 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	How come? [He gestures towards the screen.] Has this changed what you expect to happen if you get home again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

When I got here I expected I would get back and stop the apocalypse and die trying. Since then I've found out I did.

I just didn't stay dead. I was just a monster for awhile and then I guess that got better too. And now I don't know. I guess it just feels like my life is going on whether I'm there or not so maybe it doesn't matter.

[This disc was more a reminder of all that than the first catalyst for the thoughts.]

	foreverjack 2016-03-08 12:32 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods slowly, absorbing this.] I have a theory that possibly we're all actually taken from a lot further along our timelines than we think, and when we appear to 'go home' we're actually just uploaded with another batch of the memories they've got in storage for us.
