046 - [Action/Written]

[Jenny is sitting on the steps of house 36, a dagger absently twirling between her fingers as she thinks silently and watches the rain come down, staying dry on the step closest to the doorway. After a moment, she picks up the journal, and begins to write in it.]


[Private to the Doctor]
Dad, I think we should have a chat before tomorrow.

[Private to Jr.]
Could you meet me by the lake around midnight?

[Jack comes out of the house and and sits beside her, pulling his coat around him, not saying anything just yet.]

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She hears him, but she's still twirling that dagger.]

Hey Jack.

[captain-in-you.livejournal.com]

[He's quiet a moment longer before looking over at her.] Saw your name on that list.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She stops twirling and looks at him.]

Yeah, I did too. I told them to take me off, but knowing the Malnosso, they're probably not going to listen despite what they say.

[captain-in-you.livejournal.com]

So you didn't volunteer, then? I wonder why they even bothered asking.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Of course I didn't. I have no interest in fighting their war. Though the Malnosso never were good at taking no for an answer.

[captain-in-you.livejournal.com]

Hm. [He glances at her sidelong, a small smile on his face.] I did. Not that I have any interest in there war, but they can give me something I want.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Oh, that. What exactly are you trying to get?

[captain-in-you.livejournal.com]

Something for your dad, actually. His sonic screwdriver. Was kinda hoping for the TARDIS, but it seems that might be too much for them.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

They said they would give you his sonic screwdriver?

[captain-in-you.livejournal.com]

That's what they said, yeah. Not sure if I should trust them, but... other people got what they asked for.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I'll believe it when I see it. The Malnosso don't exactly have a good track record. They're good at saying one thing and finding some sort of loophole.

[captain-in-you.livejournal.com]

You've been around much longer than I have. Do you think they'll give it back?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Not really, no. Or if they do give it back, it probably won't be permanently. There's always a catch to their promises. I've been here for almost two years now, and they still haven't managed to really keep their promises in the ways you'd like them to.

[captain-in-you.livejournal.com]

...I probably shouldn't have told him I was getting it back, then. [He sighs and rubs his hand over his face.] He was so happy, too.
