It was a dim and foggy day... (for Harry)
My day started normally. I woke up in my bed, stretched, then got up and splashed water on my face at the basin. Then I dressed, slipped on sandals, and stepped out to face the day.
I stood outside my front door, a little bit surprised to find that the world had disappeared. Then, as my eyes got used to the low light, I realized that a fog had ( Read more... ) -
Polly at Rest
A week ago, I was complaining how Sundays were the worst. Then we were attacked by squids, and that just a couple of weeks after the Island had scared me silly by presenting me with a Doctor out to take over the Island. Things were just... confused. As nice as my conversation with Mother had been, things were still awkward. Things were awkward ( Read more... ) -
Mother's Day (for Meg)
Sundays were the worst. Six days of the week, I kept myself busy at the preschool, or helping out around the kitchen, but then Sunday morning would roll around and I would feel that I'd been in the kitchen too long, and I'd have nothing to do for a whole day. And that's not a good situation to be in.
Another worst thing about this place (number ( Read more... ) -
Opposite Plot Aftermath
Even though it had only been three days, the days of altered personalities had rendered the whole week one of my worst, if not the worst, of my whole time on the Island. I'd been I'd argued with friends, seen Jaye Tyler turn into a Stepford Wife, and had my life threatened by a 900 year old time traveller who even in human form could crush me like ( Read more... ) -
How Polly Spent the Last 36 Hours of Opposite Plot
After the Doctor let me go, I ran to the IPD offices to try to warn them. As I feared, however, the days of altered personalities had left the department understaffed and in chaos. Sam Vimes listened sympathetically (or, as sympathetically as he was capable of), and then asked me questions. What was the Doctor planning? I had no idea. Had the ( Read more... ) -
Meme Assignment
Create a post in your pup's journal where others can ask for or give details of interaction/shared experiences that haven't been played out, and then link that post in a comment here. The details can be silly or trivial (They see each other at breakfast everyday), or a shared anecdote (Remember that time when they got attacked by the angry parrot ( Read more... ) -

The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!
As I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I wondered why my stomach was in knots. We'd planned this a week ago. We'd decided we'd do this back on Guy Fawkes Day when we made the deal to teach each other the languages we knew. So, here I was, having showered and now dressed in one of the Compound washrooms, as I prepared to go meet Sean Cassidy ( Read more... ) -
[For Meg]: How I Met My Mother
For better or for worse, I have settled into my daily routine, if you could call it that. With weeks still to go before a new term started, too early to even consider whether or not the Island could use a kindergarten class, most of my productive hours are spent helping the crews clean up the kitchen and rec room. I stick to this routine ( Read more... ) -
Poly O'Keefe's Halloween Adventure
I knew something was wrong the moment I woke up. There was something about the way I was lying in bed, how the covers felt on me, how my t-shirt didn't fit. Still, I was too groggy to put things together initially. My hands felt around, almost independent of my brain, touching my hair, my face, my chest. Focusing on my chest. That's when I looked ( Read more... )
