day 1: reboot, location: oak grove court, nymphadora tonks, rose tyler

Who: Tonks and Rose
Where: Oak Grove
When: Day One, 11-ish AM
What: Reunited!
Rating: PG-ish

After having made her way out of the forest, Tonks had been surprised to find herself in a neighbourhood. And also surprised to find it not as ramshackle as the place had been before. She stared at everything with a healthy mixture of curiosity and wariness. What the hell did the Management have planned this time? And they realised that she had other pressing matters back at home, didn't they? Ugh. Of course they did.

Tonks frowned then. She hadn't actually lost any time between the first time around here and her own world. The witch felt that, between the two worlds, actual relaxation was a long-distant memory. All the same, good things came out of even the shittiest of situations. Friends, for one. The Order, who were her family. The people she had met here.

The people she met! Duh, Nymphadora. With that thought, she had pulled out the journal and got to scribbling. Sure enough..there were names -- handwriting-- that she recognised. And one of them was around in one of these houses! Rose Tyler was here as well. She was torn between being happy that there were familiar people (who remembered her as well) and upset that they were here. Nobody should have to go through this.

After a few notes back and forth, Tonks peeked around the area again. For some odd reason, the first thing that popped into Tonks' head was that Peaches and Herb song. "Reunited and it feels so good.." Sang a bit to herself. Then she looked at her feet (after having gotten up and stumbled a little in the process) and took a breath.

"C'mon, feet. Let's find Rose Tyler." Brief bob of her head given in a nod and she took off down the street. It took a bit, quite frankly, but soon she came upon a house where she thought she saw someone. Time had made her a little more leary, and the fact that she was sans wand (again) made her more so, explaining why she stared from a distance for a moment. But after that momentary study, she smiled to herself and headed up the path. "You! You are a sight for sore eyes!"

Rose didn't intend on straying too far from the house she'd found herself in. Before, she'd slept on the floor of a museum squished in with the Doctor and a teenaged werewolf. Not long after that, she'd slept, again on the floor, of a gymnasium, with people who were mostly strangers. If Brigette wanted to go off exploring, fine with her, but Rose was keeping the house until she was moved.

So when Tonks had said she was, quite literally, in the neighborhood, she stepped outside and only sat on the front porch. She knew these people too well to know they wouldn't do whatever it took to survive. And she'd do the same. Including keeping hold of her relatively comfortable, if not exactly clean, shelter.

But then the white haired witch (she remembered her friend was a witch...oh yeah, things were coming back in a somewhat insane rush) appeared, and Rose figured a few steps wouldn't hurt. "Princess wizard Dora," she teased, then rushed up the path to meet Tonks in a tight hug. "Oh, I shouldn't be happy to see you, but I am."

"I'm the same bloody way, Dreamweaver Rose." It was the same rush seeing Rose as it was seeing any part of the Order. So when the blonde woman hugged Tonks, she was hugging back tightly. Just to be sure she was real. Pulling away, she grinned a little in a lopsided manner and then took a look around. And peeked at the house.

"They've redecorated. What do you make of it?" There were a plethora of questions in Tonks' head, but that was the one that spilt out first. "And how are you? Other than peeved off about being back?" That was second. The next rush of questions could wait. At least a little bit.

Letting go of Tonks was a lot to ask, considering, but Rose released her friend, and stepped back, eyeing the house. "It's so...random. Like, I don't remember any houses last time. Well, I think there was one everyone was claiming was haunted? But it was huge, it was nothing like this one." And now that she was paying attention to the outside, she noticed plenty of other houses, too. A right proper neighborhood. All it needed to look normal was a few coats of paint, some paving, and a few little kids playing ball. Not that she wanted anything resembling children there, even if Sarah Jane had mentioned her own. That was already too many.

"It's been a few months for me," she admitted, "but I know people who are saying it's been years, or they've never even been here. And some of them may not have, I don't know everyone, but..." She shook her head. "This was definitely one of the last things I needed right now. I thought I'd dreamed the whole thing, to be honest. And then it faded and..."

"I don't remember any either. Which is why I'm wondering what they have up their sleeves." After having pulled away, Tonks surveyed the area as well. "Reminds me of some show on a telly or something, yanno?"

She nodded quite a bit at the thinking that it had been a dream. "I thought so too, specially after.." She paused then, "Tried to bring it up with Remus once. He'd forgotten about it though. Reckon that this sorta thing happening when you're sixteen gets trumped by all the rest of what happened to him. Made into a dream." A shrug was given and she peered over at Rose again. ..Definitely one of the last things.. Tonks could definitely relate to that. "What was going on with you beforehand?"
