WHO: Gwen, OTA
WHAT: Watching People in the Common Room
WHEN: Day 29
WHERE: Common Area
RATING: PG-PG 13 tops
STATUS: Incomplete

The night in the steam had paid off and seemed to cut short whatever Gwen was coming down with (at least for the moment). So she dressed (jeans and a simple red shirt) and realized she was still a bit raspy throat wise,"Cough drops?" she asked between some coughing and found a little bag of drops next to her brown leather jacket. "Now to be quasi social, but first coffee of the non paint cleaner sort" as she walked through the resort and landed in the common room to find a steaming cup of coffee. So she curled up in one of the massive arm chairs with her coffee and notebook, taking notes on things she had overheard. She decided to book that heart to heart with Ianto for the next day since for now she had a bigger question, unraveling the mystery of this planet and the other people that were pulled here.

So for now between sips of coffee she just people watched and took notes, part of her wanting to be ankle deep in the flying snow but knew with her throat it was not the best of ideas. But she got to thinking of one thing, she and Ianto were due and with him staying with her for the short term they could finally talk. "For now I lurk" slipping a drop into her mouth to calm her throat.

Sarah Jane shuddered at both the mention of the Daleks and the cannibals. She remembered reading about the mess in Brecon Beacons in the papers. Horrible stuff. She wondered if Gwen had been involved in it, or if she was just remembering the articles as well. She couldn't imagine being terrorised by cannibals. "It's funny," she remarked, taking another sip of her tea, "in all the times I've faced the Daleks, this last was the one that made me the most frightened." She shook her head. "Probably because I had the most to lose this time 'round."

Which was true. When she'd been young, it had just been her. Yes, Aunt Lavinia would have been sad if she'd never come home, but Sarah wouldn't have regretted her journey. Now, just last week, she could have lost her home, her son, her friends.... The stakes had been so much higher, and Davros, curse him, had delighted in it. He certainly hadn't changed at all from when she'd first met him.

She smiled a bit at Gwen's descriptions of her fallen friends. "I'm sure they were lovely people," she said. "I wish I could have met them."

Sarah Jane frowned. "I'm not sure that Torchwood would have noticed the Bane. It was after Canary Wharf, so London's base was gone, and you lot don't come to the city much, I gather. Too much to do with that Rift of yours. They were a surprisingly small operation for the scale of what they did. Very nasty. Put bits of their own DNA into the pop to enhance the mind control. In their true forms, they were very fast, and could stick to walls and ceilings, and were very strong. A Mrs. Wormwood was their leader. Well, that was her cover, at least." Sarah was just glad that she wouldn't have to deal with that woman or her Bane again. Of course, never say never with aliens, but surely that group of Bane at least was gone. With the explosion at the factory, they had to be.

"We got pulled into the Beacon Beacons mess, it was a trap. Long story short, I got shot among other things" Gwen went with the short version of what happened almost 2 years before. "But this time was different, mostly because of Jack,Ianto and Rhys. So soon after losing Tosh and Owen especially" since it had only been a few weeks since they were killed. "I really think you and Tosh would have gotten along great and well I can still hear Owen snarking off in my head" she muses.

"Makes sense actually, the rift is already doing something" she nodded. "But DNA in the pop is a new one" her dark eyes speaking volumes. "We just have the weevils, mostly your average local pain in the necks and well we do have a dinosaur as the hub pet" able to smile at that part.

A concerned look crossed Sarah Jane's face. To have gone through that horrible ordeal in Brecon Beacons, and to be able to talk about it so casually, Gwen had to be made of some pretty strong stuff. While Sarah herself had never faced cannibals, she'd had her share of adventures that she'd been sure would break her, only to come out stronger in the end. She was glad Gwen seemed to share her attitude in this way. She nodded in sympathy as the other woman spoke of her friends. "I'm sure I would have," she said, smiling.

The Rift in Cardiff did sound fascinating. Perhaps when they were able to get home, she'd pop across for a visit and see what exactly went on there. If she could secure a promise of good behaviour from the captain, she might even bring Luke. Having Mr. Smith give her updates on it wasn't the same as actually seeing it for herself, after all.

"A dinosaur?" Sarah Jane echoed. "I hope it's not left over from Operation Golden Age. What sort is it?" She wondered if UNIT knew there was a dinosaur roaming around Cardiff. She was sure the Brigadier wouldn't be too pleased, and Mike Yates might decide never to visit Cardiff again. Perhaps she wouldn't mention it to Mike, then. Too many unpleasant memories.

	"Myfanwy is a pteranodon and she's actually the Hub pet!" Gwen had to smile now. "She's actually pretty friendly once she knows you and she actually saved the day a couple of times" letting Sarah Jane peek into the lighter side of things via a couple of cute stories. "No idea how she found us but she stuck around" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The last time Sarah Jane had seen a live pteranodon, it was swooping at her like a bat in a car park. And it had been a baby pteranodon. "Pet?" she echoed, shaking her head slightly. She took a sip of her tea. It was growing cold. "It's tame, then? My goodness."

She glanced back to the window. "Looks like that snowball fight is dying down a bit," she remarked. She could see a few people breaking off from the game and heading toward the residences. "I didn't see Luke out there."

	"She's tame as can be but she's also a mean fighter when the need comes up" Gwen had to smile. "Its strange but its not the same without hearing her calls through the hub since the echo was rather soothing at times" she mused. "No sign of Luke, he must be nosing around and maybe he's met some of the other teens floating around?" she offered. (Reply to this) (Parent)
