i. Main Street USA: Daylight Hours
The citizens of Main Street greet the coming of fall in a big way! The entire main part of town is decorated in the colors of fall, carved pumpkins on every window ledge, balcony and stoop! Some are rather creative, ranging from The King himself to various spook-tacular versions. There are also plain pumpkins, squash and apples arranged in a rather decorative (and tasty) presentation outside the Opera House!

Enjoy yourselves as The Candy Palace begins to hand out small, caramel and spice covered apple slices. The smell of apple fritters, grilled apples and apple bacon float through the air. Enjoy the rather relaxed daylight hours...

ii.Main Street USA: After Dark

Because the moment the sun sets, and the lamps have been lit- the entire street takes on a strange and unsettling demeanor. The pumpkins glow a soft, red color and bats and black cats crawl around the shadowed corners. You might see several citizens wandering the streets-but look to hard and they will suddenly vanish before you can even greet them.

The stores are still open and the sweets and treats are still pouring; but! Beware of happy haunts~!

iii. Yo ho, yo ho a Pirates life for me!

Ah! Smell that salty, briny air! It gives life to all those who are from or love the sea!

Which would be wonderful and invigorating, if this was the bottom of the beautiful briny sea. It isn't. It's the open garden in front of the train station which is no being over run by some rather fishy, lv. 2 Corroded! Can you help sweep the proverbial beach clean without being washed away by water based attacks? The conductors would be most grateful if you could!

iv.Come out and Socialize!

No need to be number one thousand! Imagination is the real host here, so go on and use your to come up with your own adventure. Just remember to take loved ones by the hand, please, our ghosts are frightfully sensitive to too much mischief~

A month? How - why has she been here a month? He knows the dementors wasn't a joke but it's not eating that is going to help him. There's a slight face twitch at the older version of him here and looks like he heard the four knocks on the door in his mind. That also confirms it. He's not seeing Rose ever again.

Missy? Wait- does she mean, The Master? At least that's one piece of good news. Sounds like someone finally listened to The Doctor - but at what cost?

Then a face scrunch, why are two of his faces here? He doesn't like this. Not one bit.

At Rose saying, Missy isn't so bad, well, sounds like eventually work out for someone. Ten did believe in someone after all. Very much so.

He should go- he should really, really go. Far away from Rose.The ruffle in his hair though keeps him spot. A look on his face that he misses Rose too but doesn't touch her, not even allowing himself to hug back. Or absorbing the love that Rose is showering in on him because after all - what is the point?

He'll just end up hurting her in the end. Though he wants - very much to embrace her - touch her cheek.

Demon with his face but ginger hair? What is this place?

Wait - Meta? "What were you told about Meta?" Is dry remark as she cries on him and him doing nothing, though the itch to comfort her is rising.

1/3

[bigbadrose]

Rose pulls back into herself mentally and physically. Deep breath. He's so... Stone. Cold. Hard. Is this what happened after Meta? She knew him pushing her away must have hurt him, nearly broken him, but it's excruciating on her too!

"Not enough," she answered sadly. "He only told me... He's your face, half-human, sent to Pete's Universe, and needed me. Oh, and one heart and one--"

2/3

[bigbadrose]

Her hands trembled, clenched into fists, and she very very gently punched him in the jaw. Not even a proper tap, it might not even be felt, because apparently it was meant to be a visual gesture, not kinetic rage, which she reserved for her words:

"You stupid, stupid man--!" She sniffled again. "Do you really think I ever gave a DAMN that you'll outlive me?! Do you have any idea how many times I've seen you die!?"

3/3

[bigbadrose]

And then she gave up and just puddled into a crying ball of messy feelings everywhere. RoseTyler.exe has stopped working. Send message report?

Re: 3/3

[borntolove]

No, he figured that you don't give a damn about him outliving her. It's him having to watch her die that he can't live with. Though this isn't living now, is it? As there is a lack of reaction of her screaming at him and only staring at her curled balled up on the floor.

What should he do? He can't Doctor. Not properly. Not like this. She may as well have the truth.

"I know you don't give a damn if I outlive you... But I can't watch you die."

[bigbadrose]

"I know," she answered, fire and rage meeting his cold star ice, brown eyes to brown eyes.

She doesn't know if she can get over that. Forgive it. Accept it.

Maybe it doesn't matter, because he's not apologizing or seeking her forgiveness for it. Funny thing is, with Bad Wolf, maybe she won't ever die, but he'd hate that too! And anyway, she can't accept it if he can't love her in spite of that fear. Well, he does love her, but he won't act on it.

She stops crying finally, dusts herself off, and gets to her feet.

He got married. His wife died. He could watch someone else die, but not Rose. That's pretty messed up, isn't it? Maybe he loves Rose more. Or his wife more? Or maybe it's just some stupid Timelord pride about having to protect the fragile human -- and her fists ball up all over again. Deep breath.

"Maybe you should go marry Missy. You like torturing yourself so much, I'm sure she'll be glad to help."

Rose stalked off, fuming, and punched a brick wall, purposely scraping her hand. She didn't care that it took off a few layers of skin around the knuckles, at least it felt good.

[borntolove]

That look in her eyes makes his soul shiver.

Or marry Jack. She is right - what did pushing everyone away get him? This isn't living. It's only existing in a space. Rose hurting he should be helping her. Should be getting her to laugh. She said she's been here a month.

He doesn't get second chances. Sarah just happened to happen. And at Sarah's wedding too. Sarah Jane turned this face down about traveling with him again.

"Rose. Wait." Ten turns around and starts after her, "Let me at least walk you back."

[bigbadrose]

"I don't need protection," she couldn't help but growl, but took his hand in hers all the same, scraped knuckles, covering over his. She looked at their hands for a bit and then up to his eyes, years of hurt and anguish breaking through feeble walls like a burst dam. "But I do need you."

[borntolove]

There's a somewhat sad look, that he enjoyed being her guardian. Her Angel, so to speak.

"I know." There's only the tiniest hint of pain and gives a tiny hand squeeze but it's hard to feel the love but it's obvious that's what the gesture was meant to mean.

He wants to ask 'why' she needs him but it's his fault. That he knows - just as it's his own fault for needing her, or Martha, or Jack or Donna. Or The Master.

"You still want to have me - even like this?" His brown eyes unblinking and staring into her soul, that seem cold and as vast as space itself.

[bigbadrose]

He was never her angel, he's thinking of Madame du Pompadour.

She wants to kiss him again, but refrains with a tight grin. "That depends," she nudged him softly. "Do you still want me, even though it hurts?"

[borntolove]

There's an unconscious head nod, yes. She's worth hurting for.

[bigbadrose]

Wellllllllll okay then!

Rose tugs him down by both ears and snogs the life back into him hopefully. Or maybe she's just snogging stone, it needed doing. "I don't care if you're married, replace me a million times over or anything else. I will always love you. This you and all your regenerations. I don't need you to be human. I just need you to be with me. Can you do that?"
