The Lady's "Guestroom"

[Deleted]

Oh well wasn’t this just fantastic? Ace was still as insolent as ever, and the Phantom was still as much of an annoying little pest as she once was. Susan rolled her eyes at Ace’s comment. “Would you like me to fix it for you? You do seem ever so eager to regenerate once more,” Arky said cheerfully. She leaned back on the bed, her eyes narrowing at Ace as the woman sat on the bed. Honestly, was everyone just trying to get on her nerves? She had been perfectly content to remain silent until she’d been addressed. And nonetheless by the Ace of Spades.

Her attention flickered only for a moment to the girl on the ceiling, shaking her head at the overly melodramatic appearance. And then the Phantom decided to open that nasty little mouth of her spew some more of her ‘why can’t we all just get along’ pacifistic nonsense. As if it wasn’t enough then she had the audacity to bring out a laser screwdriver and threaten them with it. “Why, Little Mouse,” Susan said with a sweet smile, “I knew you were a joy ride but I didn’t think you a fool.”

Susan crossed her legs and smoothed out her dress as she stood up, the screwdriver in Maria’s hands sparking. “Let’s think, which, I know, can be so very hard for you. They took us which means they aren’t stupid. What makes you think they wouldn’t know to deactivate a screwdriver?” she snapped.

“…don’t say anything at all. However, if you have an idea on how to get us all out of here, then by all means speak up.”

“You could die. I’ll be all too willing to aid you,” Susan said kindly. “Do you think being pregnant entitles you to being a bitch?” she snarled, grinding her teeth. It wasn’t very fair was it? The Master got to kill her husband and the Daleks got to kill her son and wipe away her time line and she got to watch her entire existence fade into nothing, and the Phantom? She put her hand against her forehead, the lights flickering again as she reigned in her temper.

She knew that she needed to stop because the more she used the faster she died. At her core was only hatred – the Daleks had wiped away the foundation of her memories, leaving her with only bad memories and negative feelings and so much anger and possibly too much radiation.

Just as she was going to release some more radioactive psychic fury, the Time Lady behind the Phantom spoke. “Are you a dimwit? Clearly we’re all Time Ladies save for the weeping willow and little miss maths over there. And whatever Spades is,” Susan said, sitting down on the bed. “And the little spider,” she said with an indifferent glance in Yvie’s direction.

“Anyway, the person that took me came from the river,” she said, gesturing to the fact she was soaked to the bone. “It said that it was looking for the Ladies of Time. They’re in for an awfully big disappointment if they think I can regenerate again,” Susan grinned.

As she sat there in the room full of strange woman and female children she continued to study them more and more closely, listening to them speak and talk. Jenny had a sneaking suspicion that most if not all of these woman were intelligent, strong... Though they seemed to be acting less intelligent then she would have liked. From fear? Probably. Some seemed to know each other and some did not. Personally, Jenny did not know a single individual in the room.

She really didn’t like being locked up, even if the room didn’t look much like a jail cell. She still felt confined. Jenny looked up at the child on the ceiling, a frown forming on her face when she mentioned the Doctor, Not my Doctor surely, Jenny thought, really wishing that the snide comments and doomsayers would just stop. She frowned even more at the antics of the red head she had noticed earlier; dancing around and acting odd, singing some strange song.

Then finally someone said something intelligent.

“Enough. ”

But it just didn't stop the in room fighting. Jenny finally piped up, forcing one of her bright smiles. “No one is killing anyone,” she stated calmly, standing up and glancing around the room. “What we need is a plan… personally I’m all for jumping the next being to open that door and hurting them severely until we get some answers, but that may just be me.”

The air was so think with contempt that Jenny thought she could almost cut it with a knife.

“And I have to agree with Marie, fighting and arguing amongst ourselves is not going to get us any closer to answers or escape. So can we please play nice and work together? A temporary truce perhaps?”

Zoe put her hands on her hips as she surveyed the rest of the women. Honestly, couldn’t they see they weren’t doing anything productive? She looked down at the young girl and her eyes widened at the name. Alonza… Alonzagora…? Well, Zoe certainly wasn’t going to be addressing her directly until she’d repeated it. There was no way that she was going to make that much of a fool of herself. The other names weren’t too difficult, for those that had said their names, anyway.

“I really think you ought to be paying more attention to your surroundings and not petty arguments,” the maths major said with a sigh. Honestly, it reminded her of her university. People didn’t like her so they refused to work with her in the silly little ‘groupwork’. She’d hoped that adults would have enough sense to focus on the truly important instead of any grudges, but age didn’t bring wisdom.

It seemed a bit silly to automatically assume that they meant them harm. After all, this didn’t seem the type of room that someone would put prisoners, did it? It was decorated with roses and chocolates. It was better decorated than her flat she shared with her roommates. She didn’t quite agree with taking her against her will, but surely if they wished the women harm they wouldn’t have transported them so carefully? She had done the maths involved with interdimensional travel, and she knew that it split atoms apart and just as quickly reassembled them.

If they hadn’t been concerned with their safety, it would have made their arrival in the room rather messy and gory. “No one is killing anyone,” one of the women – the blonde one who hadn’t introduced herself – said. “What we need is a plan… personally I’m all for jumping the next being to open that door and hurting them severely until we get some answers, but that may just be me.”[/i]

Zoe had really been close to thinking that the blonde lady was the only one with a bit of sense. She cleared her throat. “I’m not opposed to violence,” she said, and she could hold her own in a fight, but with beings that could easily transport groups of people into pocket universes? “But I think it may be best to discern what they want. They clearly aren’t working alone, and I don’t want to find out what would happen if we used violence against them. There are children here.”

She waved a hand politely between Alonzasomething and the girl who had been on the ceiling. “Now. Do any of us know anything about the people who brought us here?” she asked gently, holding her hands behind her back. “The man who brought me was following me around for a few days before he took me. How about all of you?” she asked, looking around.[/size]

Sevaros watched them continue to bicker and bounce around ideas. The puppeted child rolled her eyes. These foolish Time Witches were getting no where. The only one who seemed to have a firm grasp of what was going on was the mentally unable woman with the temper. Sevaros decided she rather liked this Time Witch. Those mismatched colored eyes narrowed on the others, cold and calculating.

She decided to join into the conversation. She was after all, a prisoner, like the rest of them. The child who acted as her host was half Time Lord... But she knew that was not why they were here. Sevaros and the child she inhabited were hear because she was a Time Lord killer. A monster that sought out power in it's purest forms and drained it dry.

With a sigh, she dropped from her place on the ceiling, landing softly in the middle of the room. Once she was in the light and not clinging to the dimly lit ceiling, the child looked to be covered in a mix of dried blood and ash. Her hair was damp and matted, and her clothes were ripped and filthy. It was almost impossible to distinguish her facial features. The only thing that stood out was the green and blue eyes.

She looked to Susan as she rubbed her temples, watching the lights flicker, She smirked when she realized the woman was a telepath like the child. She spoke smoothly but coldly "Come now, Susan.. Calm yourself before you get a nose bleed." she said rather nastily.

Her eyes then narrowed to Pippa and Taryn. Her small brow arched with a hint of amusement when the blue eyed brunette tried to reassure the Asian girl that when she was around, Sevaros could not harm her. The laugh that erupted from her throat was quick, a sound of 'Are you Serious?' in her tone. "And what will you do to stop me? You dont even know who you are, Time Witch."

"And to answer your question Madam Mathematics Major... Our oh so humble hosts are called The Djinn. A collection of Ifrits, Shayteen, Ummaar, Marid, and the like. As to what you have in common... Let me narrow it down for you, shall I? You are either a Time Lord, Haven been the companion to one, or have owned a djinn. It is for these reasons you have been collected. As for myself.... The child is of little importance... she's a worthless orphan. " motioning to the body she inhabited. "I am a Time Lord Hunter. And have slain a fair few djinn recently, as well. I imagine they will attempt to torture me as well. This lovely collar about my throat is a rather... effective muzzle... Now as for the WHY... Your guess is as good as mine. "

Sevaros rolled her shoulders in a strange tick as her neck strained against the collar. I suppose it was Sevaros' turn to have a bit of a temper flare. Those small arms raised clenching her fists. One of the beds creaked as if suddenly under an immense weight. She swung a hand to the side and the bed was ripped from it's place against the wall and sent flying across the room slamming hard to where a door should have been. She didnt even bother to look if anyone was in the way.

[Ace McShane]

Ace leaned forward resting her forearms on her legs, watching the little girl on the ceiling very closely, the little girl didn’t frighten her as much as intrigue her to no end. While she studied the little girl she listened to the others talk.

“I’m not opposed to violence,” Ace smirked a little at the thought “Nither am I.” Ace wouldn’t lie she was starting to like the idea of taking a few of these Djinn out with her if that meant getting them out all in one piece.

“The child is of little importance... she's a worthless orphan. " “See, I don’t believe that, because if the child was worthless, to you, you wouldn’t need to inhabit her now would you? Besides, no ones worthless.” Ace tried not to flinch when the bed hit the wall hard, this kid was strong and as much as she wanted to help the others if the Djinn decided to take that collar off of the kid Ace had a feeling the Djinn would be the least of their worries.
