Who: Remus Lupin & Rose Tyler
What: The werewolf inspects his new surroundings..
Where: Near the Thrift Store.
When: Day 16, 9:38am
Rating: PG (Rose & Remus.. Come ON! This isn't Jack & Jones)
Status: Complete

Remus had woken in the forest with strange people. He'd been polite enough but hadn't been particularly interested in sticking around to chat. He didn't have his wand and he felt a little sick to his stomach, and he was exhausted, and all he wanted to do was find a place to sleep. But he couldn't. He had no idea where he was, but he was relatively sure that it was muggle, because there wasn't anything magic around here, none of those people had wands.. and though the dark-haired man had looked like some sort of nymph, he certainly hadn't acted like one. So the werewolf had taken his leave and decided to explore on his own. He'd passed slowly by buildings, looking like a victim from some big-name zombie movie. His face had a patch of gauze over the cheek, taped into place, there was a cut over his opposite eyebrow, a little bit of brusing there along his jaw. One of his hands had gauze on the back and a few fingers had bandages. There were more of those patched wounds under his pale blue, white-spotted cotton PJs. They had long sleeves and long pants, and sock-covered feet were now dirty from walking on the road, and he'd come to a slow stop in front of the thrift store, looking up at the sign. Maybe he could find shoes in there, but then again, he didn't have any money to buy them with.

Where was he? He'd been asleep in his bed in the hospital wing, then he was suddenly waking in the forest with those people and.. the sixteen year old boy let out a breath and lifted an injured hand to ruffle through mouse-brown (sometimes dirty blonde, in the right light) hair, causing the small streaks of gray to spread out a little and become somewhat less noticable.

Now what?

"In the year I'm from, they're more dance clubs than discos. Same concept, though. Sometimes even with the mirrored balls. I go out to them sometimes but it's been a long, long time." After all, the Doctor didn't dance. Well, he did, but only when he found her dancing with Jack. Curious, that. Anyone else she'd accuse of being jealous.

With that thought in mind, she studied the boy, with his shaggy hair and retro-outfit. "You could learn. How to dance, I mean. Ask my friends, I'm a pretty good teacher." And Rose did love to dance. All sorts. Jackie hadn't been able to afford formal lessons, but Rose had enrolled in all sorts of community classes for a while. At least, until she reached that troublesome age where she refused to listen to anyone. After that, all dancing was just done for fun.

She paused, and then frowned. "Not that there's any music here. I keep forgetting all the things this place doesn't have." Okay, so she wasn't exactly the most cheerful influence for the newcomer. It happened. She thought she'd been holding up pretty well till jsut then.

"The year you're from?" He suddenly sounded a little skeptical. Calm, logical Remus was going to have trouble believing in time travel. It just wasn't possible, without a time turner. And he'd read all about time turners. They'd just been figured out, a year back, and they were big talk, all sorts of restrictions were being put on them, laws being made. It was a good thing.. they could be very dangerous.

"I'm.. not always very coordinated. But thank you for the offer." He didn't want to embarrass himself, or her, by trying to learn to dance. He was worried he'd step on her toes and look like a complete and utter fool. The werewolf would rather stick to things he knew, or things he knew he could learn and excel at. He was fond of books, and charms, and potions and.. his friends were going to be so worried about him.

"You said that you've been here a day already? Two? Has everyone been here that long?" How long were they going to be here? He had twenty-six days (or so he thought) until the next full moon, and if he was trapped inside here with these people.. he turned his face aside some at the thought. He almost wanted to speak up, to warn them. To warn her. But he didn't. If the moon got closer, he would. He'd admit it and let them do as they pleased with him, to save them the fate he himself had fallen into.

Ooh, he hadn't caught on. She felt badly about that, but Rose knew he had to find out sooner or later. After all, if she was going to crack this case, she needed at least a couple of people with some knowledge. "I'm from the year two-thousand and five," she supplied with a smile. "I know, it sounds mad. I think it's something to do with our kidnappers." No need to tell him that she herself had travelled in time long before her kidnapping. He'd probably find that out in time, if the pair was meant to be friends. "There's magic here. Or very complicated science. I'm not bright enough to figure it out, I can promise you that. But things change. People are different. It's...I don't even know."

Perching herself precariously on the edge of a windowsill, she grinned at him. "A day. Today would be my day two, see. Woke up yesterday with one hell of a headache and a complete git sitting next to me. A real pig, that one. They experiment on people here. Do all sorts of awful things." The grin had left her face and her tone had gone quiet as she explained to the young wizard what all she knew. "People...people have died here, Remus. I urge you to be careful. Really." She was beginning to sound a bit like the Doctor herself with her warnings. Travelling with the man long enough was bound to do that.

"Two thousand and five?" His eyebrows rose high when she said that.. but then he nodded some. He supposed, by that time, maybe they could have figured out the Time Turners, given them more power, and mass produced them, found out a way to keep people from meeting themselves.. perhaps send them to other places, places they could never be. Or further back than they were born. For instance, Rose, if she were twenty, wouldn't be alive yet.. so it was plausible that she could be traveling her and not messing with her own time line. Right? Of course. It made sense.

"They experiment?" He prompted just a moment later, drawing in a slow breath as he did. "They kill people?" Oh, Merlin. This wasn't some where he wanted to be. Not at all. He wanted to tell her that he was much more dangerous than any of the people kidnapping them, but it wouldn't do to scare her. And besides.. if they wanted to experiment on these people.. what better way to end the experiment than to let a werewolf loose on them? He swallowed slowly, but he was brought abruptly back to reality as he lifted his eyes back up to hers.

"Well I should probably get going." And get far away from her. And anyone else.

If Rose had any idea of the thoughts running through the young werewolf's mind, she'd be quick as lightening to stop him from his train of thought. Sure, it was dangerous once a month to have him around, but they'd figure out a way to keep everyone safe in the process.

But she wasn't privy to that information, and instead she hopped down and tried to smile at the boy. "Look, we're all working on a way to get out of here. This friend of mine? He's a genius. He really is. If he can't get us out, well... There's plenty of smart people here." She pointed at the box he'd carried in. "There's a book in there. A journal. It's weird, but if you write in it, people can see it and write back. Ideas everywhere, people checking in to make sure others are safe. It's a lifeline, use it."

Reaching out, she touched his arm and gave an unbruised portion a gentle squeeze. "And you'll need to find a place to stay tonight. It's early still, but you'll want to settle somewhere before nightfall." Again, she motioned towards the book. "If you want to go exploring now, that's fine, but if you haven't bunked down somewhere, just journal to me. Ours is packed, but we'll definitely find you somewhere non-skeezy to sleep."

Remus only nodded silently as she began speaking, telling him about her friend -- well, that was actually some bit of comfort. Hopefully they wouldn't be here long at all. And when when she started talking about the journal, he looked down at it and stared. You could write back and forth to one another? He'd heard of things like that before.. it was strange that someone would just give him one.. but he was nodding again, his silent understanding.

Once she finally reminded him he'd want to be in before nightfall, he let out a breath and nodded a final time, curling his hands some around the box. "Thank you very much. It means a lot to me. I'll contact you, I promise. Even if I find somewhere else to stay." He'd let her know that he was safe and sound, somewhere. He didn't want her to worry, after all. "Thank you." Repeated again, as he offered that small smile.. then turned to head for the door.

"Brilliant," Rose confirmed, smiling. "Oh, and it's only fair I warn you, not everyone here's from England. You're going to hear dozens of different accents." Had she covered all of the bases? Maybe. It was hard to guarantee, with the entire world around them being one great big mess.

She turned back to the racks, grinning over her shoulder at him. "Go exploring. Just be careful, okay? You still look pretty beat up. There's a map in your journal thing if you need more info." He got a few more steps to the door before she called back out, "and good luck, Remus!"
