Breaking Down the Barrier

[nevermindtherunning]

Who: Everyone
Where: outside, the western embankments
When: Day 75
What: Please review this OOC post. How the Doctor loses friends and alienate people. Or he learns he isn't a god and nearly causes everything to explode.

The meeting hadn't quite gone exactly as the Doctor had planned, the comments from Donna especially disheartened him. However, none of that stopped his drive to get everyone out of Kore. Sharon was back, but he hadn't even said more than a couple sentences to her, as he fixed the last adjustments to his generator.

He and Jubilee had been working tirelessly the day after the meeting and she finally had to excuse herself from him for sleep. Right, humans needed sleep, didn't they? The Doctor couldn't remember the last time he had, which probably wasn't a good thing. But it didn't matter, given in an hour or two he'll be back in that sexy blue box of a TARDIS far, far away from here.

The last hour had been spent with him at the kitchen table staring at the generator, trying to possibly think if there were any last few adjustments. Finally jumping up to his feet, he hugged the generator close to him, hoisting it up and leaving the house. Managing to activate his wristwatch, opening the comm, he spoke up, "Hello! Doctor here... It's time to go home!"

Just west of house 19, there was a small open area, perfect for this. He glanced back towards the woods, briefly wondering how Dilandau was doing with the distraction plan before crouching down and setting up the generator. It was time.

Rescued from the fiery woods by Balthazar, and set down who-knew where, Rat barely kept his feet and focused on breathing. The world felt as if it were tearing apart around him, but all he could focus on was trying to catch his breath. He might not be in danger of asphyxiation- the angel had made sure of that before he left to see to others worse off, but the smoke inhalation still wasn't doing Rat any favors. He coughed, then his breath caught again as everything around him seemed to hold its breath. Once, when he was younger, Rat had touched a live wire when he and a friend were messing around taking apart a radio. The sudden burst of electricity through his body had been like a strangely inaudible thump, every cell given a startling jolt. The feeling now was close enough, and it dropped him to his knees.

Then the world was solid again, and he gave a few more coughs. To say things had returned to normal would be an overstatement. Smoke still drifted on the air from the forest fire, there were a few distant cries of people in a panic, and of course he was still in the strange little town he'd arrived in roughly a week ago. Still, after a moment Rat got to his feet again, took a tentative breath, and began to trudge toward the center of town to find out what happened.
