Where: The Library.

Rating: PG-13
Status: Active [No Posting Order]

It was noon. The Doctor was already waiting on the steps of the library. He couldn't have told anyone over the journals what this little meeting was to entail, but they'd surely be excited when they found out. They were getting out of here. Today. They couldn't lose. With those two brilliant minds, and three brilliant pieces of equipment? They'd be out of here in short work.

So he hoped.

Seven people-- he was waiting for six more, and looking up towards the sky, hoping that the management wouldn't notice the influx of people going to the library. What was he thinking? Of course they'd notice.. unless they'd had some sort of big distraction. Why hadn't he thought of that? And just as he was thinking it, there was a loud explosion from the NorthEast of them. His head turned that way, but it was impossible to see anything. It sounded like it might have been coming from the church of thereabouts.. but when no one came screaming down the lane leading away from the church, the Doctor went back to looking around. Another explosion followed shortly after. No screaming. Someone was having a little too much fun over there, and Nine was slowly standing up, curiosity touching his face. Where had someone managed to get their hands on gunpowder, and why wasn't it being used on the glass wall?

The vampire didn't like the sound of a meeting. Not at all. Not when she didn't know how many others there were going to be and what they were and what their intent was. Just because she was confident in her abilities didn't mean she wanted to go into a situation not knowing all the facts.

But. The inked marks didn't set well with her and if there was a chance possible meanings were going to be discussed, then she supposed she could come by. It wasn't like she had much better to do. Other than trying to find a fresh blood source and figure out where she was going to contain a young werewolf for twelve hours or so. Minor issues, really.

Selene approached the library from the direction of the church, footfalls quieter than boots should be on pavement. She too had been curious about the noise, or rather, the smell of something burning. And just maybe she had thought about seeing Gambit out to see how healthy he was. The vampire hadn't needed to come very close to see the young man doing something that looked a little like target practice, using his ability to set objects alight. That was all she needed to see before she was on her way. If the curiosity lingered she would simply ask Gambit about it later.

The sight of the Doctor both did and didn't put her at ease. That trust that had been established between them way back in that first experiment, their first taste of this place, still lingered but the vampire had realized that she really knew very little about the man. She didn't like that. And especially not when he kept inquiring about her need for blood. Yet he had asked her to show up and here she was. For now, anyway.

"You know, you didn't say what markings they stuck you with." she said to the Doctor on approach, hands in the pocket of her trenchcoat as she walked, mostly to help fight against the urge to itch where her skin was inked. Granted, she hadn't asked him, but still.

Well, this was bound to be interesting. Or frightening. One or the other. The fact that both Doctors were going to be there was more than a little frightening, but Ianto figured that if it was truly that bad, he could fade into the background.

Not that the Doctor was particularly frightening. Ianto just didn't want to see him after Canary Wharf. A day of Canary Wharf.

Bundled in the replica RAF greatcoat, Ianto approached, little smile pasted on his face. "Hallo. No one else here yet?"

Jack rolled his shoulders as he trudged toward the library, hands shoved into the pockets of his greatcoat. He wasn't sure how this was going to be with everyone cooped up in the library together -- particularly with how some tempers were running lately. Hell, after his day 'back home', Jack wanted to stay cooped up in the museum for a bit. He still hadn't managed to lock Gray away in the back of his mind.

"I wouldn't say no one," Jack said, coming up behind Ianto. He flashed a smile in the Doctor's direction, sliding into the Role of Captain and forgetting anything else had happened.

Hell, maybe this would be the best thing to pull Gray out of his mind.

"Well, Doctor," Jack said from his position behind Ianto. "Can't believe it took you this long to get a tea party together."

Sarah Jane hurried up to the library. She was pleased to see Jack and Ianto just arriving as well. It meant she wasn't late. No sign of Rose, though. Despite the situation, she still felt pleased to see all of her friends. When they all made it back home, she'd make it a point to work with them all more frequently.

"Tea party?" she said, stopping next to Ianto, nearer the Doctor. She grinned at them all; she couldn't help it. "And here I thought this was going to be some sort of serious conversation." She looked over to the other woman. She hadn't met her before, but Sarah thought she'd seen her around the town. She nodded and smiled at the woman. Whoever she was, if she'd been invited, she could be trusted. "Hello, there," she said, extending her hand. "I don't believe we've met properly."

As others began to show the vampire did her best not to appear as suspicious as she naturally was. She was naturally weary, and this place didn't help. Nor did the feel of the sun overhead. Selene was slowly getting used to it, that sunlight could no longer hurt her and the feel of such warmth was not a sign of impending danger, but centuries of habit took awhile to break.

Her focus for the moment went to the woman when she addressed her, and Selene gave a polite nod in return. She knew how to be civil. It was acting that way around humans that was the difficult part. "I don't believe we have, no. I'm Selene." Against her better judgment she accepted the hand and shook, knowing her skin would likely feel cooler to the touch than what would be considered normal for a human, particularly since it was around a week since she'd fed.

Oh what a lovely tea party.

John Smith came walking into the library with what amounted to a cheeky grin at first, he'd look over the gathered bunch one by one. Jack, Ianto, Sarah Jane, Nine. Oh, and there was Selene. The Vampire. He'd gone and done it, actually invited the Vampire to their little soirée. Sorry, Selene, did you see the way his face dropped a little and he looked immediately to the other people gathered? No, you weren't part of his trusted circle; though, that likely didn't matter much to you.

What bothered him more was that he'd wanted to tell his friends why he'd been avoiding them; why he'd only given them snippets in the journal and little hints at his well being. Why he hadn't been eager or energetic or, simply, himself. He knew that they knew. He knew they'd been worried. And like hell he was going to expose himself like that in front of a stranger. Ianto, he supposed, he could tolerate; but, not her.

"Looks like almost the whole gang," he said cheekily, leaning up against a high bookshelf and ignoring the dust and scent of mildew. At least this library didn't have Vashta Narada - a vampire he could handle.

"Three stripes." He said with a smile, pushing up his sleeve to display the markings to her. "I'm guessing they might be marking us by threat level." It was a tease, of course. "You and I are among the highest." Him for his mind and her for.. well.. she had quite a sharp mind too, but her more for the physical aspect. Though, Nine certainly wasn't a lightweight, he could fight if he was forced to, but he wouldn't in any other situation.

The vampire wasn't part of Ten's trusted circle? Ten, of course, was being prejudice because she'd nearly killed the Cajun, but who's really paying attention? And where was that Cajun, anyway? Nine had lifted his eyebrows some in surprise when Ten had showed up without the red-head glued to his side. That was unexpected. Sure, he'd spent time with Ten where the Cajun had never shown up, but it hadn't been a function of sorts.. he'd been expecting that Doctor to have invited the strange red-eyed creature along. Wrong again, he supposed. That happened a lot with Nine, and he worked around it, worked it out, until he got it right. He'd get this right soon.

"Hope you brought the tea, Jack." He commented easily aside to the other man-- the fixed point. It still made the back of his mind itch to look at him. He was wrong, all wrong. It hurt just looking at him, like he was a fuzzy thing.. but this was Jack, and the Doctor knew from watching interactions with Ten and the other man, that he'd always be there. Ianto got a nod as well. Welcome to the tea party, tea boy.

"Just missing Rose." He agreed to the suit-wearing version of himself, leaning back against the bookshelf he'd chosen, arms crossing against his chest. "Always late." A comment to himself, but at least he wasn't going on about her species. Not yet. He'd save that for later.
