[It had been a while since Nina and Oswin had seen each other, but they never really lost contact with each other. Time passed and Oswin traveled while Nina stayed tied down to the same planet she always had been, at least until a very unusual urge came over her.
She was going to be spontaneous. She was going to stowaway on a starliner and find Oswin.
It was a ridiculous plan, and she was sure she was going to get caught, but somehow, it never happened. Oswin had been delighted to see her (of course, though Nina had worried all the same), but before they'd really had time to catch up with each other and reminisce of old times, all the emergency warnings went off.
Dragged onto a shuttle with Oswin, Nina was absolutely terrified. And after they crashed, it all went dark.
Now it was happening again, though there wasn't much left of Nina anymore. A year on this planet, and her consciousness had been trapped in a dalek, left to rot for eternity. When the Asylum began to burn, she didn't even care.
Her body lies motionless on the cold floor, pink hair a curtain across her face. Her breathing is slow, her face pale. It's Nina, but it isn't.]

Date: 2013-09-04 03:50 am (UTC)[She relaxes under Nina's touch, though, sighing and letting out a small yawn.] Mm. Let's keep it that way this time, yeah?

Date: 2013-09-04 03:57 am (UTC)[It feels so nice, having someone being this affectionate towards her. Oswin lets out another sigh, this one more content than the last and settles into Nina's embrace a little more, content to be lulled to sleep by the feeling of her fingers in her hair.]
no subject
Date: 2013-09-04 03:59 am (UTC)She'll be here through all the nightmares that will surely come, but hopefully for tonight, they can both catch up on some sleep.]
no subject
Date: 2013-09-04 04:04 am (UTC)[It comes out as a sleepy murmur, and Oswin drops right off. No nightmares tonight, thankfully, she's too exhausted to do anything but sleep soundly and dreamlessly.]

Date: 2013-09-04 04:07 am (UTC)In the morning, Nina's woken by a farmer prodding her with a pitchfork. She yelps, the farmer having picked a slightly burned patch of skin, and jerks awake.]
Watch it!

Date: 2013-09-04 04:11 am (UTC)G'back to sleep, Nina… [She mumbles, entirely unaware of her surroundings.]
no subject
Date: 2013-09-04 04:17 am (UTC)Listen, we...we were tired. She's hurt. We needed a place to stay and it seemed like it was the only place for miles...Sorry.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-04 04:30 am (UTC)Oh. Damn, they've been caught. She glances around quickly, looking for a way out, because if Nina can't get this guy to back down, they'll probably need one.]
We'll just…go, if you like. [She quickly adds to Nina's statement, already inching towards the newrest available exit.]

Date: 2013-09-04 04:33 am (UTC)Ugh. Men.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-04 04:38 am (UTC)'Least he didn't get us arrested. [That would have been difficult. As they walk, she glances around, trying to spot anything even vaguely familiar.] Haven't landed anywhere close to home, looks like.
[She probably should have been more careful with the coordinates, but honestly, she'd been a bit too concerned with getting them out than where they'd end up.]
no subject
Date: 2013-09-04 04:42 am (UTC)No, it...doesn't look much like home.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-04 04:49 am (UTC)But, at least she's actually got a chance she will now. Her heart races every time she thinks about how close to actually dying she'd been. Dying all alone and now even in her proper body.]
Probably ought to find a phone or something once we're there. Might be close enough for someone to come and get us. [Or they could steal a car. That's always fun.]
no subject
Date: 2013-09-04 04:51 am (UTC)...Never thought I'd say that.

Date: 2013-09-05 05:58 am (UTC)I just want to get somewhere.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-05 06:02 am (UTC)We will. Promise. [Oswin offers her a faint smile.] Got you into this mess, yeah? Sort of makes sense I get you out.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-05 06:04 am (UTC)All I wanted was a nice vacation. [Nina lets out a mirthless laugh.]
no subject
Date: 2013-09-05 06:12 am (UTC)It still hurts that she won't be able to again for a long while.] I'll make it up to you, yeah? See if we can't go somewhere when we get home. [Somewhere as Dalek-free as possible.]
no subject
Date: 2013-09-05 06:14 am (UTC)At least we're together.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-05 06:16 am (UTC)She smiles a little more readily.] Can't imagine anyone else I'd rather be stuck with.
