It's time for sleep.

I have to be up for work in about 6 hours. DNW. But I'll try to get in a few replies after work before I crash. Then two days off!

"Eleventh?! What?! Oh, Grandfather, you simply must be more careful. Saving your friend was certainly worth it, but... well... you're running out!" Susan was now more concerned for her grandfather than ever. "Is that why you're so young? Do you intend to stay in this one a while?" She really could only hope that was true, unless... perhaps something had changed during the Time War and they had all been granted more regenerations... at least all those who had served. She wasn't really sure, and even if that had happened it likely wouldn't affect her, since she'd been in her bubble universe at the end of the war.

New travels and old friends.

Susan had the bizarre feeling she was being watched. It was coupled with a prickle in her consciousness, a tingling which suggested she was near another Time Lord or Lady. She turned around and found a man - a boy - staring. He averted his gaze. At first, she'd thought he'd just been staring because he thought she was attractive, but there was no heat in his gaze. Simply... emotional longing.

She cleared her throat, debated whether to speak to him or not for half a second and then took the plunge. "You look familiar. Have we met?"

Guilt and Gallifrey || Open to any Time Ladies

The Doctor stared in astonishment at the girl standing mere feet away from him. This couldn’t be possible, how was he meeting her again? The twisting feeling in his stomach he hadn’t felt for a long time returned. Gallifrey.It was gone, all his fault. And this girl in front of him was a reminder of that, a reminder that he ruined lives, caused so much pain. Sometimes he felt like a Time Lord lived too long.

She turned around to look at him, and he dropped his gaze, staring at his feet and turning around to leave, his cheeks flushing in the embarrassment of being caught staring. It had been a long time since he’d seen her, probably was just a human who happened to look similar, he was just imagine things, surely?

I think...

I should be all caught up on things I owe people, except for a couple of new things I was tagged in (and the one person who's replied already ;-]). Still trying to figure out how to reply to those. Thank you, everyone for your patience.

Morning! I'm Susan! Who are you?!

Susan blinked and then blinked some more.

But- but- how? You... I... Did he upgrade you? Or... how is this... but you're... and you were... can you still travel? I don't...

I’m not sure. You don’t look familiar. My name is Susan. What’s yours?

Well, I wouldn’t, would I? I’m far more box-y and blue normally. Silly head.

{—A bright smile crosses her features as it registers just who she is.} 

Susie! Oh, my dear, dear Susie! It’s me; Sexy. Or I suppose your grandpappy would have just called me the TARDIS back when, hm? 

[susanwanders]

Susan stopped and turned to look over her shoulder. She didn't see anyone she knew, and so she turned back toward the tube. Instinct made her stop. Who was that man who was sprinting in her direction? She turned back around, licking her ice cream cone as she studied as his face. No. Not familiar.

Maybe he was talking to some other Susan.

She tried to casually wait for him to pass her and in order to not look as if she was waiting on him (just in case), she pulled her recently acquired iPod from her pocket and began to play with it as if it were the most interesting thing in the universe.

It took a moment for her to realize the man had been yelling for her and he'd come to stop beside her. "I'm sorry, do I know you?" she asked.

A Broken Promise//Susanwanders

The Doctor looked around, his eyes adjusting to the sunlight. He had landed outside an ice cream shop, and his eyes widened when he thought he saw Susan. Rubbing his eyes, he made sure there was nothing in them and that they were working correctly. The Doctor confirmed it was her, Susan. It was her scent. A small smile slowly spread on his face, it was Susan, his Susan. The Doctor's shone with actual happiness, more than he had had in a long time.

The Doctor took off on a sprint to catch up to her and before he knew it he was shouting her name. "Susan! Susan stop!" He wasn't going to let her go again.

"Well... I helped rebuild a culture after the Daleks destroyed it. Married a human... had a family... lost a family... went to war... the usual," Susan replied after a moment. She wondered if her mother had missed the entire Time War, and if so, how she had managed that one. Susan hadn't been given a choice, she'd been instantly called back to Gallifrey from where and when she was. When the Time Lord High Council summons, you go, if you wanted to continue being.

"What happened to Gallifrey? How did they..."

She trailed off, the words eaten by emotion. She knew she should probably stop clinging to him. After all, she was old enough now to handle losses like this. Even as badly as this hurt, nothing compared to losing her children. Nothing. She swallowed hard, before asking the next difficult question. "Is every one else... gone?"

Until she heard the answer she could hold out for the hope that at least some of the Lungbarrow cousins were still out there. Honestly, she'd be happy to know someone from any of the houses was still alive.

Oh blast. What now? Susan didn't have an excuse to stick around after such an efficient brush off. It had been a long time since she'd gone out onto a limb and tried something like this. What would her grandfather do? When backed into a corner he'd... he'd just tell the truth. Maybe. Sort of the truth.

She sighed. "Listen, my name isn't Tina and I don't work her. My name is Susan... and... I have a friend... who disappeared after buying one of the cassettes this factory makes, and I thought I'd come by. It's not logical, but I just wanted to look around for him. They think I'm with you. Do you mind terribly if I... tag along? I'll be quiet. I promise."

Extremely quiet. In fact, Susan wouldn't say a word. She'd simply walk around and look and use her mind. That was the best tool she had, especially since she hadn't thought to bring anything else.

"Oh well that," Susan answered as they shook hands. "I'm not... exactly from around here, myself." She couldn't help but smile to herself. There was a time when she'd have tried to deny being from another planet, but passing as human had become too difficult the older she'd gotten. She'd been through too much, she knew too much. Though it didn't look it, this regeneration was starting to break down, she'd been in it for so many years she'd lost track. It was, after all, her first.

"I'm from a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away."

"Mmmm... so you say," Susan replied skeptically. She narrowed her eyes at him and folded her arms over her chest. "What regeneration are you on? Have you continued being so very careless? I wouldn't be surprised if you were on your last with the way you used to just throw yourself into things without a thought!"

What sounded like Susan chastising him caused her to smile. She always loved how her grandfather was concerned mostly with experiencing the universe. Everything else was secondary. His rebellious nature, his intelligence, his inquiring mind, his adventurous soul... that was what made her enjoy being around him. She'd been searching for a place to belong... to make a home... but she'd really been with it the entire time.

"I've missed you since the last time I saw you. How many regenerations have you burned through? I saw you last when you were on number 7 or 8 I believe."

For everyone I owe

Work and real life (I'm trying to buy a house, among other things), are kicking my butt. I have another 10 hour shift to make it through tonight and then I should be able to get a reply to you. Thanks for the patience!

[susanwanders]

She didn't understand not really. How could their entire planet have been lost? How could the Daleks have accomplished that? How did he survive?

Susan pulled him close again, clutching his coat as she buried her face in his chest. She'd lost her husband, the children they'd adopted, the one she'd bore... and now her entire race, too? A whole planet snuffed out? For what?

She let out a sob unintentionally and her body shook with the force of it. "I hate them," she said darkly. "I hate the Daleks. I wish we could have gone back in time and killed all the Kaleds before they'd mutated."

"Oh, I'm not particularly worried. Just... surprised, is all," she explained. She held her hand out to Vastra. "I'm Susan. It's lovely to meet you. What may I call you?"

Susan hadn't yet determined how to take Vastra. She didn't distrust her, per se, but she hadn't exactly decided to trust her, yet, either. After all, a  Silurian in the middle of Victorian London... well... that wasn't supposed to happen, was it?

"Thank you," Susan replied politely to the compliment. She scrunched her nose a bit at the mention of the Doctor's first form. She liked that one. A lot. Not that the others were bad; they were all still her grandfather, after all, but it felt odd calling some of them grandfather. Especially the ones which looked like they could be her brother... or worse, her boyfriend.

"How have you been? What have you been doing?" Susan really wanted to ask what had happened at the end of the Time War and how her mother seemed to have escaped the fate of the rest of their race, but it didn't seem like the right time.
