Snowed in!
Who: The Doctor and OTA
What: The Doctor is snowed in thanks to the Planet's blizzard
When: Day 28
Where: Inside the TARDIS up by the Ski Lift
Rating: None necessary, I hope
Status: Open

The party had come and gone the night before and the Doctor just had to get up to his TARDIS to set up a couple of overnight experiments. He wanted to do some scans on the planet, make a map, search for a psychic network, and have a bit of his own food. Possibly the most stupid idea he'd had in a while it seemed.

Sure, it had been snowing mildly enough; not enough to make him think that the next time he tried to open his door the damned thing would have a snowbank about hall way up it. So, the Doctor went to sleep, pulling the blankets up to his chin and snuggling down into his bunk. Sooner or later the snow had to stop, the sun would come out and he'd be able to get back to the resort.

In the middle of the night he sat up with a start, he was being so foolish, he ought to just turn the damned thing. Then he remembered his experiments - if he disturbed things now he'd have to start all over. Six hours worth of all over. With a sigh he went back to sleep.

Someone would come up to the big blue box eventually wouldn't they?

Jack shrugged. "There must be others who want to go home. I can't imagine everyone's happy to be here, no matter how gilded the cage is. We probably don't need everyone but if we had a good percentage, we might be able to get through."

He gave a small chuckle. "If what Ianto says about the people here, there's a fair chance there'd be one or two around. Though if they're from earth, they're going to be a little shy about coming forward."

He actually smirked when the Doctor mentioned rest. It was true he hadn't gotten a lot of rest last night but then he'd never really needed all that much sleep since he'd become what was not quite immortal but close enough to it.

He drew in a sharp breath at the Doctor's question then let out before replying. "I'm... from a point a little more... advanced in your timeline than when you're from," he said slowly. "There have been a couple of incidents. One involving just me and my team and one involving... well, everyone." He smiled, a sad and weary expression. "I'll be fine. I have Ianto, Gwen's here as well and so are you and Rose. I'll be fine." He dredged up one of his grins. "Aren't I always?"

"Well, Jack, I think we have our plan," he said with a grin, almost thankful to be able to put the psychic calibration on hold for a while.

That smirk of Jack's was palpable, it wasn't lazy or slow - it was almost like a twitch, a reflex - it made the Doctor feel comfortable in it's familiarity.

"From the sounds of it, Jack, you're far from fine," He leaned back against the control's rounded edge, running his fingertips up under the edge as he sort of clutched to it, "Now, Jack, as someone who's lived a long time, and might even outlive you; don't try and fool yourself that you're just fine when you're probably not,"he sort of let his lips curl up on one side as he tried to look a bit more humble a Time Lord for the moment. "Just the voice of experience, Captain."
