There's an Ace in the bar. Long time, no see.
She's curled up next to the fireplace, the soccer-ball blanket wrapped around her. Oh, and a mug of cocoa sitting beside her. She's missed the cocoa. She still looks a bit too pale, a bit off, but she's back.

"Hullo."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

And Ace staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaares.
When she got back to the TARDIS, she had done quite a lot of research into former companions, just in case she ever ran into another one. It is a small universe, isn't it?
"Hi."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_romana_/]

Romana vaguely knows of Ace but hasn't met her so she's figures it's polite to introduce herself even if it might not be necessary. Judging by the stare, probably not but just to be safe...

"I'm Romana."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Except when you're Fred?" Ace offers helpfully. Suddenly she understands why the Doctor does most of the strange things he does... he must feel like this all the time!
"I'm Ace, nice t'meetcha." She offers Romana a slightly chilly hand.

[slayer_fray]

"Hey," There's a Slayer in the chair oppsite her, grinning.

She relieved and happy to see Ace. It might not be obvious, but she really realy is.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Hey y'self." Ace is rather pleased someone is happy she's back. It might not be obvious, due to the whole 'wrapped-in-a-blanket' thing, but she is. Really.

[slayer_fray]

"You worried us there for a bit."

It's only mildly accusatory.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Ace, on the other hand, is thinking of something else entirely.
"S'not my fault the TARDIS blew up, I swear." She's only half-joking.

Angelo appears from somewhere and drops into the next armchair over, frowning at her slightly.

"You okay?"

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

There are many, many answers to this question. Angelo should be glad she's an honest sort of gal, because otherwise trying to figure out what the right answer should be would take forever.
"No. But m'better."

[spectral-skin.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's something... What happened?"

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

This question also has many answers, ranging from helpful to downright hostile. So many decisions one has to make in life.
"I... went back. To the TARDIS. Got thrown back here when..." She stops, frowning. She just has to keep remembering that Death said it was okay. "The TARDIS blew up."

[nita_callahan]

Nita pauses as she passes by.

"Hey, how are you feeling? You probably don't remember me, I'm Nita. I. . . met you last night."

[OOC: I wish I could stay for a proper RP, but I have to run away. Slowtime?]

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Ace looks up from her cocoa contemplations.
"Last night? I..." she blinks, trying to sort through hazy memories. "Sorry?" She has a distinct feeling she should remember this.

(ooc: No prob. Have fun doing whatever!)

[nita_callahan]

Nita smiles. "Sorry. That was abrupt." She sits down next to the fire. "You came flying through the front door in bad shape. Tim called for a healer, and I responded. I wanted to see how you're feeling today."

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Oh! That was you... right. Thank you." She smiles at Nita, and waves a hand at the nearby chair. "I'm alright, I suppose, for someone who tried to walk in space. Still kinda cold, and everything aches a bit, but I think it's a pretty small price to pay."

*Theres a Tim, being protectively watchful.*

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

There's an Ace, not minding one little bit. Being watched over... is nice. Sometimes.

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tim comes over, with a mug of hot chocolate, and a big fat rgeasy burger and plate of fries.*

[alien-isabel.livejournal.com]

"Ace?"

Isabel walks up slowly, setting down a new mug of cocoa.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

Ace looks up from her blanket-and-cocoaness, and blinks.
"Err, yes?" She's not certain if it is a good thing that some woman she doesn't know knows her name. There are possibilities in both directions.

[alien-isabel.livejournal.com]

"Hi. I'm Isabel." She offers a kind smile, as kind as she can muster at least. "I'm a friend of Tim's."

And the girl he was in love with before you and still is. And he kissed me so there!

None of that is said.

[mnt_mike]

Mike makes his way over with a stoneware pitcher of steaming cocoa.

"Refill?"

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"My savior." She offers up her mug.

[mnt_mike]

He grins.

"And don't you forget it! You okay over here?"
