[A woman comes on the video with a smile, and she's sitting in one of the lounges, looking relaxed. Well, mostly relaxed, every so often, her thumb brushes across the new mark on her palm. Following the lines of the snake eating it's own tail, she's done it so often now she can do it without looking. Her voice is normal though, despite the fidgeting.]

Hello. For those who didn't meet me yet, I'm Martha Jones, and I'm a doctor. If you've need of one, you can always come to me. [In case you don't want to see the people in the medical center is what Martha means.]

[Private to Snape.]

Why'd you request me? I didn't even think you'd liked me very much.

No doubt you noticed that the pair brawling in the corridors after the party have been paired. We couldn't be worse a worse pairing than they are, could we?

[That? Is not an answer.]

Private

[traqueur]

No, it couldn't be, but you didn't answer my question.

[Martha didn't flinch away from correcting him on that.]

[mrsarcastic003]

Hi, Dr. Jones, I'm Tim Drake.

[mischievous little grin.]

I'm sure you don't mean that the excellent medical facilities here are insufficient.

[He says as someone who is likely to get into trouble that he'd prefer to keep unofficial.]

[goodgrasshopper]

I'm new here. Does it happen a lot, that people need a doctor? It seems like something I should be prepared for, if that's the case.

[traqueur]

Please, call me Martha. We're all in this borrowed thing together, yeah?

And I'm sure they're lovely, but...

[But they're still kidnapper facilities.]

[traqueur]

Not so far. And welcome, I'm Martha.

I guess the branding happened.

[ He pulls his sleeve back to show his. ]

For both of us.

[goodgrasshopper]

Nice to meet you. I'm Molly.

...So far? So I'm guessing you're not exactly a long timer here?

[mrsarcastic003]

'Borrowed.' That is definitely the most polite description of this entire thing that I've heard yet.

[traqueur]

Well, I think keep calling it kidnapping isn't going to help anyone. I mean, we're here for a reason, even if it's one we had no choice in doing. I'm going to at least hope we're only here to do what we need to do and then we'll be returned to our timelines.

[traqueur]

Nice to meet you, Molly. And no, I've only been here about a week or so. I'm trying hard not to count.

[Because counting isn't something that's going to help.]

[traqueur]

Who did you get assigned too?

[Malcolm is her friend, Martha's decided this.]

[inrecovery]

[ Malcolm hadn't decided anything so concrete, but he would have been happy to hear it all the same. ]

A girl named Brigid. I don't know much about her. Or anything, really.

[traqueur]

Nothing like getting dumped into the deep end, yeah?

[inrecovery]

I'm kind of getting used to never being in control of anything in my life.

[mrsarcastic003]

That would be really nice.

...But I'm sort of a pessimist when it comes to people who have borrowed me from my timeline without my consent.

Private

[brewglory]

I suspect you asked the same question of the woman handing out the assignations. What was her answer?

[He really, really would not like to admit that he thinks he might need Martha Jones' help - or that he's weak.]

Private

[traqueur]

That you want someone to keep you alive and you think I'm your best bet with the combination of being a doctor and being a sentinel.

[goodgrasshopper]

[No, probably not.]

So... how long does it take to get an assignment around here? A girl could get bored.

[traqueur]

Me too. Though I'm trying really hard not to be.

[traqueur]

I think it won't be very long. There are more with the mark than there are of us.

[traqueur]

Really? What's your secret?

Private

[brewglory]

That seems perfectly reasonable. Let's accept that as the truth of the matter, shall we?

[Maybe he's getting a little stir crazy, sitting around like an invalid and not allowed to go up to the city.]

The alternative would be that I think I could give you the slip.

Private

[traqueur]

[It's clear that the idea of him giving her the slip amuses her, and a smile blooms over her face as she shrugs.]

Only if you cheat.

[goodgrasshopper]

That seems like an awkward ratio, to be honest. Are we supposed to double up?
