Time is a dare, and I'm trying too...

[allfireburns]

Oh, fine, fine, flist, I give in.

Step One: Look at Ye Olde Character List.
Step Two: Break out your character journals and have them ask my characters questions. If they have no questions, have them... I dunno. Say a word or random phrase and I'll throw a character at them to talk about that word or phrase and they can have existential debates about paperclips if that's their kink. The point is random, pointless, stressfree CR. If you demand an explanation out of one of my characters or have legitimate questions, personally and OOC-ly, I can also deal with that.
Step Three: There is no step three.

I feel like my character list is missing things. Huh. Also, for some reason, LJ hates Barrowman. It has EATEN most of the icons that belong to my Barrowman characters. ...All two of them.

[Mendek] I think it is interesting that humans evolved on earth because they did not evolve on mars. I would like to see the inverse. Do not worry. Our time technology maintains the integrity of time fabric unlike yours.

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

[Ida] ...No. Although that was impressive. I'll give you high marks for effort, at least, even if it's a bit lacking in substance.

[thatsortofaman.livejournal.com]

What? Excuse me, I've seen your technology. It's impressive, but not that impressive, and it leads to silly things like gas mask zombies and Time Agents and all sorts of nonsense.

...Also, you can't just experiment with humans on Mars because it's interesting. It's... You can't.

Right. Well, let's see, we'll start with that car crash when you were a kid, just because that's the earliest time I'm aware of; then you got hit by a car hard enough to throw you back into 1973, then Time Dogs, shot by a Time Agent, alcohol poisoning, heat exposure, more time dogs, temporal shock, temporal shock compounded by hypothermia, Weapon attack, then it was mostly okay until a cyborg tried to delete you, a few miscellaneous encounters and scratches, the Master's cognitive inversion device, and at this point I have to get Nick on the phones for your records from Torchwood 4...

[definitivestep.livejournal.com]

Except for the car accidents, none of those count because none of those actually happened to me.

[Mendek] Universal reality is sense, so, if your understanding of universal reality cannot account for these elements, your understanding of physical law must be flawed :/

What is a gas mask zombie? This sounds interesting. Interesting is good for science. Do you think science is not interesting?

[eelseason]

Sam, trust me. Except for one large and fairly unsettling, though probably much healthier, difference, you here and you back home are pretty much identical.

[getdamaged.livejournal.com]

[Gene] Yeah, well, this one did. Are you going to hep me find it or any you going to stand there and jabber?

[bestwillgowrong.livejournal.com]

I would gladly trade mine for one that didn't carry such a strong possibility of getting me arrested when I try and follow through.

Angel of knowledge. I would like that. Angels of knowledge have it easy.

[definitivestep.livejournal.com]

I've never been attacked by Time Dogs, I've never had temporal shock, I've never been attacked by a cyborg... So what would that one difference be, out of curiosity?

[eelseason]

Incidentally, Torchwood Chicago never was supposed to be a secret organization. Secrecy's great for when you're hunting down threats that society might not be able to handle at the moment. Not so great when you're supposed to be a public resource.

It's what happens when your silly little Chula nanogenes get confused and start trying to rebuild the human race in the image of a dead child. I'd really rather not do that again. Or anything... like that. It ended fine, thanks to me, but even so.

[definitivestep.livejournal.com]

What's it's name? Does it have a collar? Anything I can identify it by so I won't have to grab random dogs?

[astrongerbeacon.livejournal.com]

Really what?

[seewhatidestroy.livejournal.com]

And why should you need to question war at all? Your kind were bred for it - all you need to do is fulfill your purpose, little soldier.

[evengodsdo.livejournal.com]

Believe me, I know. With me it's going on hunts more than the coma thing - which I haven't ever done and don't plan on it - but it's close enough, right?

Someone up there has a sick sense of humor.

I had assumed that Brando had them under some measure of control, until his death, rather than simply letting them run wild in a universe they knew nothing of. It seems that was putting a bit too much faith in him, though I can't hold that against him. He always was a bit too lenient with his wards - most guardians tend to be, and I hadn't taken that into account.

[trademydemons.livejournal.com]

Oh yes they are that bad.

...okay, so I've only met the one, but she hits me every time she thinks I've said something dumb. That happens a lot. I swear she keeps a rolled-up magazine with my name on it.

[bestwillgowrong.livejournal.com]

Not at first. Even if they bleed black, they look human, and-

It gets easier. Especially when you think that if you don't, other people just get hurt. People who don't deserve it.

[constantleader.livejournal.com]

If it is easy, there's something very wrong.

[becomingsomeone.livejournal.com]

Easier than you'd think. After a while, the hard part isn't the killing, it's getting out of the habit.

[torchwoodsheart.livejournal.com]

...Thank you for that announcement, Jack. Shall we post a notice in the tower?

* Give thy thoughts no tongue,

Nor any unproportion’d thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel but, being in,
Bear’t that th’ opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower, nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man

Individuality alone or belonging with the lines blurring?

[notcarefullest.livejournal.com]

Ahh, fatherly advice. It's funny how it all sounds the same no matter the era.
