fandomhigh | Quantum Physics 123: Wednesday 30 November

[The Doctor looks...rumpled, and as if he didn't sleep very well. Today would probably be a really bad day to give him a hard time about things.]

Hello. Since you seemed to enjoy Monday's deconstruction of a film so well, we're doing it again--consider this a unit on popular culture representations of time travel in the current period. Today we're watching Frequency, which is a good film, but so very, very bewilderingly wrong on multiple levels when it comes to quantum physics. I want less talking and a short synopsis of what you thought was completely buggered about this film by the end of class.

Also, you need to start working on your projects if you haven't already. If I don't see or hear about you all lurking in the library by this time next week, there will be problems. Trust me, I can find out if you've been in there or not. [slow deadly smile] If you've requested specialty literature from me or find that you need it, please notify me sooner rather than later.

((And yes, notifications are not working for me at the mo. Jack, Ten will be willing to talk to you if you have questions, i.e. 'what's going on?'))

[As soon as Jack gets to class, he pounces on Ten.] Have you seen CJ today? She wasn't in Speech, and no one was home this morning. Where were you guys last night? Did Shane warn anyone about her dinner party?

[Ten looks very, very tired.] After class, Jack, please. I promise I'll answer all your questions. Just not while ~~Rhi has a headache~~ everyone is here.

[Ten waits for Jack. He looks like he's been mainlining caffeine to stay awake.]

So what's up? If you're telling me I'm getting another sibling, I won't be surprised. I think I met another one last night.

No...not another sibling. I don't think. [Ten looks serious.] She just...someone scared her, and she didn't deal with it very well. Adam and I weren't home because she called him--he and I were out...having dinner--and we went to go get her. And she didn't want to go back to the TARDIS, so we took her to Adam's.

Oh. But she's okay, right?

Physically, yes, except for a hangover. [He sighs.] But I think she's going to be shaken up for a while.

What happened? Who scared her? Liz said something about her drinking herself blind in Caritas last night. [Jack's voice hardens.] You're saying someone attacked her and she freaked out. Was she hurt? Who did it?

[OOC: And the admins were scared about CJ's two boyfriends with swords... it's the 17-year-old who finally has a mommy who is going to lose his cool...] :)

She has a few bruises, Jack, nothing serious physically. And she won't tell me what happened, or Adam, or anyone. [He looks him in the eye, trying to pretend the last sentence doesn't hurt like hell.] And you are NOT to push it with her, either, do you understand?

[Jack basically looks like someone's running a live current through him; uncomfortable and jittery.] Who would hurt her? Have you asked her? I'm not going to push. [There's enough of an emphasis on "push" to make it clear that he is going to do something, and his and Ten's definitions of 'push' might differ.]

I don't know, and yes, I have, we have. She won't say, she specifically asked me to not press the issue. And if I'm not, you're not going to either. You're not going to ask her about it, you're not going to keep asking her about it, and you certainly aren't going to go around and back people up into walls asking if he or she did it. Because that will serve no purpose in the end, it won't help her or you. It will only hurt her more.

[He looks Jack in the eye again, and though he's not angry, his voice is raw.] Do. You. Understand.

[Jack's attention snaps to Ten.] Yes, I undersand. I won't ask CJ anything. I *don't* see how investigating this would hurt her, however.

Because she doesn't want to dwell on it. [Ten's eyes darken.] If she wants whomever to be punished, I'm certain she'll come up with a brilliant and cunning plan of her own devising. Until then, if that occurs, you are not to do anything.

Then what do we do? [Anger gives way to a bewildered look.]

[Ten's shoulders slump.] I don't know. Love her.
