[Well, here's a face that might be familiar to some people. Looking entirely perplexed by life, even though she knows what's going on. It's just taking some time to sink in, and she's rushed to send out a message because there's some people she desperately hopes are still around.]

So. I was here before. But...then I wasn't? I was here, but I left, and now I'm back again.

[Cue a very confused and frustrated Rose. Her cheeks puff out a little on the tail end of a sigh, and she gives a shake of her head.]

Typical timey wimey stuff, then. Same as always. Even without the Doctor around, it always seems to happen. Which is just great. Really, it is.

[Cue the most sarcastic smile ever. It doesn't last long, however.]

Those of you that don't know me, I'm Rose Tyler. [Have a big, warm, sincere smile and a handwave.]

Anybody out there that does know me? Go on and check in, would ya? Don't make a girl worry 'bout whether or not you're still around.

'Timey-Wimey'? [ Is that the scientific term or-- ]

[refusing]

[Oh hey, someone new. Rose just smiles and nods eagerly, waving.]

I know what you're thinking, and I gotta say you're right on track, it's so a technical term.

video;

[vdova]

Well, that's good to know.

video;

[garou]

Wait, you left?

video;

[refusing]

If you wanna get technical, yeah. Don't really remember much in between being here before and right now, though.

[hydro]

This kind of thing happens to you a lot, too?

video;

[refusing]

You've got not idea.

[Pause, complete with eyebrow quirk and curious smile.]

Or do you?

video;

[superieure]

You left and now you're here, just like that?

[Very dubious.]

video;

[refusing]

Something like that, yeah.

[Shrug. She's got no idea how it all works, sorry.]

'Fraid I can't be much help answering questions, though.

[Someone's not even making an effort to hold back this huge grin. He's posting from Jim's console.]

Hey, stranger.

[refusing]

[All Rose can do is smile, then smile wider, and then even more than that. It's big and toothy and entirely dorky, but she doesn't care. She's so glad to see him.]

Hey yourself.

[She's nearly bursting with excitement, ready to run right off to find him and tackle him in a hug.]

How long has it been, then?

[pandoricas]

[Oh hey its you!! Again!!]

Hello. I'm... still here. I guess.

[Waves... awkwardly... yeah.]

video;

[refusing]

[Oh, hey! Fellow companion. He gets a wave and a smile.]

You guess? Looks like you're here to me, no guessing to it.

[detectus]

Timey-wimey isn't a theory or even an explanation.

Video;

[refusing]

Course it is. Came from a Doctor and everything.

voice;

[redjay]

You were here and then you weren't. And here I thought I was special.

voice;

[refusing]

Yeah, that 'bout sums it up. I was here, then I wasn't, now I am again. Kinda unnecessary, if y'ask me.

[washitaway]

['Timey-wimey' isn't very exact, which Booker actually finds somewhat reassuring - clearly, this is someone like him, a normal person caught up in some crazy-ass shit she possibly doesn't understand. He can relate.

But what he's really interested in is the part about going back - and not because he wants to go back. Quite the opposite, actually.]

You left? As in, you went back to where you came from?

video;

[refusing]

Think so. Thing is, I don't really remember much of any of that? Kinda feels like maybe everything was all...suspended in time or something, maybe?

[Awkward laughter and smile go here. She feels so stupid right now, not able to really explain any of this. But how could she, when nothing here actually makes all that much sense to her?]

Sorry. It's just...I wasn't ever expecting to have this happen t'me, so I didn't really try to figure out the mechanics of everything when I was here the first time.

[wingedwarrior]

[Oh, hey, she remembers you. Sort of.] Did you remember this place while you were gone? And I guess a "welcome back" is in order, too.

video;

[refusing]

Wasn't exactly back long enough to remember anything. Feels like barely a minute passed back there, before I was here again. Thanks for the welcome back, though. Anything been going on here I should know 'bout?

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Welcome back. I never know if it's good when people come back or not. We spoke before, not close or anything. I think we chatted once? Maybe twice.

[Video]

[refusing]

[He gets a warm smile, because she remembers him just fine.]

Once or twice, yeah. But I remember you, don't worry. Also? Figure it's not a good or a bad thing, in my case. It's just...a thing, yeah? Gotta deal with it and figure out what my purpose here is this time.

[hasthreefingers]

You're back!

[ And then Donna's joy is replaced by anger. ]

Where the hell have you been, young lady?

[refusing]

[She's a little wide eyed at that, taken off guard.]

What?

[It's hard to hide the confusion and near offense in her voice, but she awkwardly smiles all the same.]

I was just -

[She fumbles for a response, and reaches up to cover her face as she laughs.]

Think I was back with the Doctor at Canary Wharf, for a split second. Not too sure on that though, not really. It feels like barely any time's passed, but I heard it's been weeks and weeks since I've been here. Sorry 'bout that. Really, I am! Least I wasn't gone for a whole year, like the first time the Doctor took me away with him?
