[51stcentury]

I'm from the 51st century, but I don't belong there any more than I do here.

I make a lot of mistakes, and sometimes I question whether I'd have ended up in charge if Alex hadn't eliminated all other options.

I'm afraid to let people get too close to me, because everyone's going to die on me some day, while I'll live forever.

You're... [He pauses, because the whole 'live forever' thing is a lot to take in all at once and he's just patched things up with Jack and...] You're goin' t'live forever?

[...shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. He's forgotten that Scotty didn't know that part either. This time it's not his fault, though. Damn community]

...yeah. I am.

[reversedpolarity]

Oh. [There's a long pause there. A very long pause.] I'm sorry.

[voice; locked]

[51stcentury]

Yeah. So am I.

How long have you been around, then?

What magic do you use?

[51stcentury]

Magic?

[darklycharming.livejournal.com]

To live forever.

[51stcentury]

Sorry, kid. It was sort of a one time only deal.

Everyone makes mistakes, Jack. Immortal or not, you're still human. As for the rest ... I guess I don't really have room to talk. But, you'll always have me.

[51stcentury]

Yeah, I guess. If I don't end up pissing you off enough to give up on me, then yeah.

I'm pretty hard to piss off. Just resist the urge to attack me or murder any members of my immediate family in cold blood and we're pretty much good. [ There's a smile in her voice. ] Guess you're stuck with me.

[51stcentury]

Pretty sure I'll never get that kind of urge ever, so I think we're in the clear.

[He sighs] I really didn't mean to make this post, though. There are things here that I don't like admitting even to myself, let alone...

Living a life alone isn't worth living if there is no one around you. Eternity alone seems longer than eternity with people in your heart.

[51stcentury]

Spoken like someone with experience, if you don't mind me saying so.

[crusnik02.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm just very, very old. I've seen youngsters come and go, if thats what you mean.

[51stcentury]

Yeah, well. I'm older than I look too. Guess we've both got that in common, at least.

...Have you considered seeing if anyone can help you? Here on the community, I mean.

[locked]

[51stcentury]

Help? What's there to help about this perfection?

...no. I haven't. I don't. I don't know how anyone could.

[locked]

[parked]

I don't either, but it might be worth a shot. Who knows, though. All I know is that you belong wherever you end up; if you're in the 21st century, there's a reason for it. And making mistakes, by the way, is what happens when you're still learning. Just because you're old doesn't mean you're not still learning, so don't give me crap for that one.

"Just because you're old"? Oh, thanks for that.

Well, boo-hoo.

All right that was a bit uncalled for, but come on, there's so much out there in the universe! Especially if you want to join up again. Offer's always open.

"Oh come on, don't be like that."

[51stcentury]

I have absolutely no desire to leave Torchwood and everything I've got going for me here in Cardiff, John. That's a final decision. Any trying to wiggle me out of that is only going to piss me off, you know.
