Portland Net

Might be about time for another wormhole primer for new arrivals. Just skip it if you're already familiar.

( length )

The question of controlling it... I don't know. It's difficult, and those of us who have either experience or advanced knowledge don't have the equipment we might have had back home. The question of whether someone else is controlling it, I think is unlikely. I couldn't rule it out, but we mostly seem to agree that it's probably a completely natural event. Holly clearly isn't, and that's a bit of a mystery, but I'm inclined to think that that's part of a system someone set up to deal with wormhole refugees, maybe someone who got brought here themselves and has since gone home.

Anyway, for anyone who's new, welcome to Portland. You'll probably get home eventually and when you do you should forget ever having been here and arrive in the same instant you left, so no need to worry about what's going on back there without you. I'm Ianto Jones, I work in the reference section in the library during the week and I'm one of the lesser qualified resident science geeks. (No advanced degree, lots of on the job training.)

Private to Ruby, Oliver, Roy and Bart:

So... this is going to sound a little weird, but...

My mom is here. I had been thinking about using those coins ever since I got them, and I wished that she was alive again. And she is... sort of.

I got a call from the hospital. I work investigations, so if anything unusual happens, I get notified at the police station. Apparently, she just showed up there randomly, but she's in a coma. I mean, she's alive but she's not technically living. I went to go see her, and...

This is not what I wanted...

If one more really weird thing happens this week I can't be held responsible for my actions.

I'm seriously fucking done with men.

Is it too early to start drinking?

Private to Team TARDIS (separately private to Enzo):

I can't sleep. I went to that Grotto and wished that my Doctor was here with me. And now all I do is see him in my dreams. Nightmares. Every time I close my eyes something terrible is happening to him. And I can't ever help him.

I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry, Doctor. I care about you, but I just wanted to see him.

What the hell is going on with our powers?

Look, I really appreciate all the stuff you've done for me or whatever, but I'm moving out. Nothing personal, it's just that Dani and I are kinda moving in together.

Gleeks, Ruby Lucas & Matt:

I JUST GOT HIM BACK FROM THAT DEMON.

AND I GOT HIM A PUPPY.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH A PUPPY BUT NO BLAINE?!

Logically I know that using the coins is a really terrible idea, but they're just sitting there. Staring at me.

Maybe I should bury them.
