Return to Paradise Network

So... would either of you have any information pertaining to phoenixes? I've gone through all my books and haven't found anything.

Right! So, American holiday over... where are we with that whole 'Eve' business.

Oh. Wonderful. My fucking memories are back.

I wish I'd remembered Midori tastes like shit before I poured myself a glass. Can't figure out why I have such a big fucking supply of the stuff. Maybe I just liked to torture myself.

The most interesting thing happened to me just now.

I realized, first, that I wasn't tired. It's been two days since whatever happened, and I'm not even yawning. So, I went for a walk- I came across a very large, very old, and very blue police telephone call box. Something about the strange box was more familiar than I even have words to explain. I reached out to touch it without even thinking, realizing that it was locked.

I'm not sure where this box came from, but seeing it here didn't alarm me, like I thought it would. In fact, a name came to mind. 'Doctor'. I don't know what it means, but it's there. And now, I can't get it out of my head.

This thought got me thinking. I've spent the last few hours writing down what came to mind, and as I continued to write, things started coming naturally. Habits. Things we do without thinking about them. Whatever did this, it hasn't destroyed our habits, or our personalities. We're still who we are, we just don't remember. It's like, when you type in a password so many times, you don't even have to think about what it is, your fingers just move. Or a locker combination.

In fact, it turns out that I was able to get onto the computer I had. I'm apparently Captain J. Harkness. And while that name means little to me right now, it's the fact that our habits are still readily available to us that matters.

I was able to find video footage of just before whatever happened, happened. Everyone just stopped, all at once, and then, we forgot. I realize this isn't the most helpful information, but it's a step forward in figuring out just what did this, and advancing towards solving this problem.

I've also found an identification card, along with a very expensive looking wallet laying on a machine. This man in the picture's name is Arthur. He wasn't within the building during the time of the incident, but I have a feeling that he might want his identity back. Nice looking young man, light suit, dark hair, dark eyes, and a polka dot tie.

What's with all the fucking books?! Do I live in a bloody library?

Where's Dean? Why haven't I heard anything from our fearless leader?

I'm going to leave the hospital, okay? I can take care of myself from home.

I think I lost my job

( Package left outside of the Torchwood offices. )

[Private to Jack]
Do me a favor, please? Be on the look out for the Master. I don't know what he's up to, but it's more than likely not going to be pleasant. If he gets out of hand, I'm going to need your help to put an end to it.

[Private to Peter Vincent]
I need your help.

When are we going? Because you sure as hell aren't going alone and plenty of people are up for it.

Alright everyone, listen up.

Too many people have already gone missing, and we need all the help we can get. A certain someone sent someone in unprotected and now they've lost contact with them. We're going to do this right.

Anyone who is with me, let me know.

Ianto, are you coming?

Hey, there, son. I don't mean to be botherin' you after you lost someone close, but I need to know a little more about Rose.

I know my boys are already on it. Dean, Dean and Adam, and probably Sam.

But I need to verify a specific part of dragon lore. Were you wearin' any gold when it happened?

You should know… I couldn't get a very good connection with Rose, but she's alive. She's terrified, but she's brave. I could feel that much, at least.

Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK!

I just had a run-in with a dragon! A motherfucking dragon! It took Rose! It fucking TOOK Rose. God damnit.





[ooc:This message is unfiltered and loud enough to wake people up as long as their comm is turned on]

I'm so glad to be normal sized again.

[Doctor]

Are you feeling any better, yet? You've been sick an awful long time.

I need to talk to you... I've been having these weird dreams...

[Peter]

How's about a movie tonight? Haven't really watched anything with you since we got turned into kids. I'll bring you some banana daiquiri if you're lucky.

I should've done this sooner, but I've been busy...sort of.

Rose? Peter? Rory? Jack? Are you alright? Are you all like this too?

Well isn't this just bloody wizard?!

...

Peter? Doctor?

Anyone?

I don't... I don't know what's happened, but I'm... I look like a child!

Hey, I just wanted to ask you a question.

Have you read all of those books that you have? I kind of noticed them when I walked past your room earlier, and noticed there's quite a lot of them.

Well, glad to know you weren't lying to me. You know, about the vampires.

I ran into one not long after that.
