Ooh, now I'm scared for poor Rose. And curious about how Martha knew already.

The Doctor's interaction with his two kids is a joy to read - he treats them both very distinctly and while he's still himself, he's obviously a dad as well. I hope he sorts out how to get Rose back to normal soon, I think he needs that, if nothing else.

And ooh... Elizabeth is awake. This doesn't bode well...

And curious about how Martha knew already.

I'll answer that, since it's not really discussed later: Martha spent quite a bit of time with Elizabeth back in C&C, remember, when Rose was being held captive on the Spanish galleon. The Doctor is assuming (correctly, for the most part) that she found out about Janie then.

It was a joy to write, too. *grin*

oh Genevieve is Janie!

Ah ok, but how is she able to have this effect with everyone who touches her? And how can Dex be somehow not affected?

Hope the Doctor can figure this all out and can come up with a reasonable excuse for Elizabeth!

[azriona]

how is she able to have this effect with everyone who touches her?

Chamaliens have a little bit of mind-control type telepathy; that's what she's using to "control" the people who touch her, starting with Elizabeth, and ending with Rose, Dex, and everyone else at Hatfield House. And as Dex says, for some reason she can't control it, so it's getting out of hand.

how can Dex be somehow not affected?

He's affected partially. But as for why....*whistles*

Woohoo! I'd been waiting for this update. ::goes back to patiently waiting for the next one.

[azriona]

*grin* Glad I'm inspiring such anticipation!

[epiphany_gun]

Your icon STILL disturbs me though...

[azriona]

I love it, though. *grin* I'll use a different one for this post, how's that?

Oh ho ho. The mysterious Janie is revealed at last. Can't wait to find out what she's doing here! Also, Poor Rose and Nina. I hope the Doctor figures out what to do before Elizabeth decides to chop his head off!

[azriona]

The mysterious Janie is revealed at last. Can't wait to find out what she's doing here!

Very simple, really. I won't make you wait too long to find out! :)

[azriona]

this could explain why Elizabeth dislikes the Doctor so much.

Oh, I think you're on to me. *grin*

The tableau of all the controlled people was suitably creepy, especially Rose's transformation.

Good!

I can't wait to see how the Doctor sorts out this predicament!

Me neither...oh wait, I wrote it already. Never mind! *grin*
