[002 - You'll never be what is in your heart. | Video]

[Private to Tosh]
I know you're here, all right? If you're planning on continuing to avoid me, that's fine. [Not really.] Just have the courtesy to tell me yourself, yeah? [Sudden change of attitude to something even moodier. :|] Actually, you know what? I'm- [He stops dead, mouth still parted, and slowly, very slowly averts his gaze to his right. ( Read more... )

[There's no verbal/vocal response to this, just an image: a bit blurred and crazed with static, but obviously a humanoid shape with a completely featureless head.]

[He stares blankly with a hint of expectation stuck in his eyes. After a minute of nothing, silence static and nothing, he sighs again.]

Just tell me where you are.

[After about half an hour:]

Room 2; Level 1.

[He's got all the time in the world. He spends that half hour absentmindedly throwing a ball against his wall and catching it.

When she responds, he heads out instantly, finding the specified room in record time. He has the whole barge memorized by now. Owen shifts uncomfortably for a few seconds in front of her door, possibly rethinking this whole encounter.

But he knocks on the door lightly with his knuckles before he can change his mind. Owen shoves his hands in his jean pockets and stares at the floor.]

[Toshiko's literally waiting at the door by this point, but when the knock comes she gives it a long few moments before going for the handle. She looks well-presented but tired and underfed; over her shoulder is the open-plan flat she was living in when she died.

She doesn't step back to let him in yet, just standing there with one hand on the door. It's been over a year since she saw him last and she thought all those wounds had healed, she really did. When she sees him - when she sees him and knows almost instantly that this was the Owen who was revived and killed a second time - she feels them strain.]

Owen.

[He looks up when she opens the door and quickly gives her a look-over. He notices the signs of exhaustion, her weight, and sees the attempt to cover up the dark circles under her eyes. In his professional opinion, she needs a quick diet change and ordered bedrest. In his personal opinion, he's worried. Tosh was always one to overwork herself, she always looked a bit tired and those dark circles were usually there in one form or another.

Was anyone looking out for her here, though?

Owen just blinks at first. Seemingly at a loss for words. After a second of hesitation, he finds his voice.] You going to let me in, Tosh? [He glances over her shoulder, then to his left, scanning the hallway. Then shifts in his place again before attempting to make eye contact once more.]

[Eye contact: denied. But she nods once and steps back to let him in. The two main differences between her flat in Cardiff and this one are that firstly, she's obviously bringing a lot of her work home and secondly, there's a large cage on a sideboard with two white rats in it.

The dataport - a small, metallic implant just below and behind her ear - is entirely obvious, her hair tied back. She's gotten to the point where she forgets it's there unless she's using it.]

[Owen makes his way inside, hands still stuck in his jeans, a slouch in his shoulders. He's fidgety. Owen Harper is normally a fidgety man, but it is much more obvious in times of stress and awkwardness. Hence the hands in his pockets. Making his way to the center of the room, he takes in the surroundings with quick and subtle ease.

Then he sees the dataport. It's unknown but it strikes him as odd, possibly even dangerous. However, he decides not to comment on that just yet.] Love what you've done with the place. [Was said a little ironically.] I've got my flat as well.

[Owen turns towards her completely, but he isn't trying to make eye contact anymore. He's just looking in her general direction and finding spots on the floor near her feet to memorize.] Tosh. [Another pause. Finding words is hard right now.] The last thing I remember is- [No, don't wanna go there. Earlier is better.] Last time we spoke, I was in the power station.

Martha's filled me in on everything. [EXCEPT SHE HASN'T LOL. Tosh dying too is completely unknown to ( ... )

Spam! hopeless_hacker October 10 2011, 11:07:54 UTC

[None of this is news to her. There's something rather blank and flat about her expression.]

I know. It happens all the time, so...it isn't as if it's your fault.
