[magicink]

(OOC: Handy! And I do what I want)

[It's been a couple weeks since he arrived and he must say, this temple has about the finest weed he'd ever smoked. He didn't know where they got it from, but damn it tasted good and made those stars up there seem to sparkle like Fourth of July sparklers. He wasn't sure at what point he lost is clothes or why he was relaxing in the pool, but that's where he finds himself now. The pool was shallow in this area, so he could sit back and lean against the edge like he was in a hot tub- only with cold water.]

Somehow this doesn't seem fair lol

[handymetacrisis]

[Somehow Handy had found himself near the pool, which wasn't quite the place he wanted to be. A library or lab would have been more preferable. Actually, any place with clothing would be best, seeing as he was looking right at Julian and noticing that certain things were uncovered.

It had to be the shallow end, of course.]

It seemed you've misplaced your trousers.

lol you know you love me anyway

[magicink]

[Julian glances up at 'the Doctor' as he now had to call him. He had given up on calling him John like he used to. It seemed easier to try and distinguish the two men that way- even though they were the same person. God it made his head hurt.

He gives the Doctor a grin and offers up the joint.]

I'll find them when I need them. Want some? It's really good stuff.

[handymetacrisis]

Nah. Doesn't do much to me. You go on and have the rest. [There's really no point in making him stop now. The poor man's gone and gotten high already.]

Where exactly did you lose them? Oh, who am I kidding. I reckon you don't have the foggiest idea where.

[magicink]

[Julian shrugs and takes the blunt back.]

It used to piss you off when I did this back in Bete Noire too- not that you remember.

[Julian does pause to think about where his pants might be. The Doctor was right though, he had no idea.]

In the temple somewhere. Or out here. They aren't out here are they? Or in the pool?

[handymetacrisis]

Did it? [He still hasn't gotten over not remembering he was taken elsewhere before.]

I'm sure they'll reappear soon enough. Until then I think you'd better stay submerged-- well, unless you're comfortable with nudity. Something tells me you are.

[magicink]

Uh-huh.

Guess it doesn't matter now really. No one here to try to impress, right?

[He chuckles at the idea of staying submerged.]

You should join me.

[handymetacrisis]

I'd rather stay on dry land. Besides, I haven't got a pair of swim trunks either.

[There's no way he's coming along willingly, Julian.]

[magicink]

Neither do I.

[Julian chuckles.]

It's really too bad you don't remember me. I have some really kickass memories of us.

[handymetacrisis]

[This, of course, makes him rather curious. It sounded as if they were close friends, as anything more wouldn't cross his mind.]

Really? What sorts of memories?

[magicink]

We trespassed on a yacht once. That was fun. We used to work together too. Jack Harkness was our boss at the fire department.

[handymetacrisis]

I was a firefighter? [Nevermind the fact he'd forgotten about seeing Jack again.]

[magicink]

Yeah. The world needed it. It was a pretty violent city and Jack was the Captain. You were there a few months before I arrived so I don't know how you got in with the fire department exactly.

[handymetacrisis]

I can guess. Jack needed the help and I decided to give it to him.

this ok?

[chavtastic]

. . .

Doctor?

[ WHAT. HOW. HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK. ]

But you're -- I don't understand.

totes okay :)

[handymetacrisis]

[Now you've got him looking at himself all confused.]

I'm what?

[chavtastic]

Sorry, I just--

[ Okay Rose, stop. Just stop. It's alright, it's okay, this is totally normal, right? You haven't seen him (this him, the one that you last saw, standing there on that beach, his last words cut off by some glitch, some sort of horribly wicked twist of fate) in months - months - and you didn't think you were ever going to see him again and now he's here but he is here too and this doesn't make sense.

How are two of the same man here? ]

I'm a bit confused, yeah? Thought you... [ She gestures to her own face. ] Changed all that.

[handymetacrisis]

[It's alright to be completely confused and freaked out, Rose. The tables are going to turn very soon, because he doesn't realise she's from after the first time on that beach, not the second where it seemed like the universe just might have rewarded them finally.]

Oh? No, no, not my face. See? [He waves a hand over his face and smiles.] Still the same. Might sound a bit different, but not much. Maybe just a little.

[chavtastic]

[ But he HAD changed faces and Rose is so, so confused but it's him, it's him.

Right? ]

Could I--could I just--?

[ She's lifting a hand, reaching just there, to brush her fingers over his cheek. ]

[handymetacrisis]

[She'll find that his body temperature is closer to her own now, definitely much warmer than he had been. But that was fine. She knew that-- right?]

See? I'm still me.

[chavtastic]

...There's something a bit off.

[ But what, exactly? The little oddities, ticks and quirks - she's so used to them but...

Hm.

She moves closer though, tilting her head, fingers spreading out on his cheek to carefully cup it. He's warm, so familiar - somehow still him but--

Something is off. ]

[handymetacrisis]

[The longer her fingers linger, the more anxious he becomes. At this point the answer should have been obvious, but he was ignoring it.

Well, that couldn't go on for much longer, could it? He gently took Rose's hand from his cheek and laid it flat against his chest.]

[chavtastic]

[ She almost simply pulls him into an embrace, because the solidness of his chest is overwhelming and she wants to pull him into her arms and simply cry, but when he does that, the world seems to just stop because

one heart.

just one. not two, thumping in a strange and alien rhythm. just one. ]

I don't understand. [ Her voice is very faint, very quiet, very strained. ]

[handymetacrisis]

[He wraps his arms around her to hold her close, one to comfort her, and the other because he really wants to. He knows what's coming. There wasn't any way she wasn't going to ask.]

It seems you've been pulled here farther back in my timeline than I thought. Or rather, we're nearly three years apart from from one another.

[Two, if they were counting years that actually happened.]

Which means that you haven't met this me yet, but it'll all make sense when it does. Well, not as much sense and you'd think. Not much at all really.
