Can't help but feel like my time here's just been wiped. It hasn't been as long as some, but six months is the longest I've been in one place since my parents died.

I'm back to making the lab equipment. Paris was a nice break, but it's nice to be back. Think I'm going to be spending some time in the library. Those haven't been wiped, right? [Hopefully.]

[waterproofed]

Hard at work as always, huh?

[signedlefthanded]

As always. How are you?

[waterproofed]

Pretty good now that I have my own room again. In Paris I was in an apartment with a bunch of people.

[signedlefthanded]

It's good to be back in the TARDIS. Travelling was nice, but you get used to a place.

[waterproofed]

Yeah. I know what you mean.

[signedlefthanded]

Are you up to anything?

[waterproofed]

Nothing special.

[supes]

Your old journal should be around here somewhere. And even then, you still have memories, right?

[signedlefthanded]

I do. You're right. I'm just used to having a lot of notes to go off of. Then again I'm also used to not having any. But I felt like I'd built something up here.

[supes]

I've been copying out things from the old journal that I'd like to keep in the new one, just because we don't know how long the old journals will be around, or last. I wouldn't be surprised if this had happened before, which is why things belonging to earlier generations never appeared in our journals.

Personally, I wonder if this is how historians in pre-technological eras felt, especially in times before printing presses. It's harder to ensure that information is passed down to those who come after us if we can't guarantee the information will be available anymore.

[signedlefthanded]

It sort of puts more importance on the information gained and the experiences we've been through.

That's a good idea. I'll have to go through and do the same.

[supes]

It really does. I'm probably not going to miss the old, random conversations with strangers, but the really important stuff will stick with me.

[signedlefthanded]

Not going to miss the curses either, but the long chats about home or just the codes I had with the Doctor.

Some things shouldn't be forgotten.

bleh i might be slow but i def. wanted to tag her :c

[amiable]

I've been here a bit over two years and I was here once before. [ hm. ] It must be more frustrating for people who've been here five years.

I wonder why the castle did that?

no worries~

[signedlefthanded]

Five years? I didn't know there were people here that long.

[amiable]

[ surprised! ]

Really? Yeah! But that's just our generation.

[signedlefthanded]

I meant our generation. I met someone who has been here for eighty years.

[amiable]

Was it one of the First Gens?

[signedlefthanded]

Lente, from Lente's Point.

[cricketycricket]

Your time hasn't been wiped, Violet. Just the record of it. Don't fret. [she can hear the smile in his voice]

What're you working on now? Anything I can lend a hand in?

[signedlefthanded]

I know. It's odd we got a new journal though. [Then again she was used to having several notebooks.]

Still working on Dr. Brennan's equipment.

[cricketycricket]

A bit, yes ... we'll adjust though, we always do. ... Your old one should be about, somewhere, you know. I found mine in the toaster oven.

[signedlefthanded]

Oh, I found it. In the Sixteenth Linen Closet. Not that you have sixteen linen closets, though I wouldn't be surprised if you did. But the one that always has sixteen sheets in it.

[The Doctor]

I heard congratulations are to be in order. [River told her. She couldn't help but mention it.]

[cricketycricket]

Oh, I'm sure I've far more than that. [he chuckles softly] The TARDIS has her share of oddities, and I must say that not all of them are uniquely my idea.

[Violet]

Oh! Well, thank you very much. I must say, it's a bit odd to accept congratulations for something that won't happen directly to me for several thousand years.... but the sentiment is very appreciated, all the same.

[signedlefthanded]

Probably why you two are a perfect match. [An amused smile.]

[The Doctor]

Thousands? You look older than him.
