#swlisrift

Chuck and Theta get into Mortimus and Ushas' house, where the demon Neoptolemus is beating on Morty. Chuck gets into a bedroom and puts down some demon's traps, Theta throws a pebble at a window and breaks it by accident. They both get beat on, and eventually Neoptolemus is trapped and tied down. Morty takes Theta to the basement to hide, they had a moment, then he goes up to beat on Neoptolemis. Theta puts himself in a healing coma in the basement, where he awaits Morty with the all-clear. Chuck and Mortimus beat on Neoptolemus, who reveals that LUCIFER IS BACK, MOTHERFUCKERS. They exorcise Neoptolemus, and Koschei asks after Theta.

And that's what you missed in the SWLIS Rift thread TPtoR.

Theta grinned at the sky, swinging Koschei's hand as they walked. Koschei's Christmas present was in his pocket where it wouldn't be smashed, a bag of presents for other people in the hand not holding his husband's.

The Rani began riffling through the drawers in her time capsule. There were random things thrown in the drawers and to an untrained eye, it looked disorganized but to the Rani, it was perfectly organized. A frown appeared on her lips when she noticed something; she was getting low on supplies. A sigh escaped her lips and she shook her head. This wasn't good, not at all.

Moving from her lab back to the console room of the TARDIS, she moved over to her console and stood in front of it, quickly locating the closet lab with supplies she'd need to finish building her....well, her latest project.  Quickly typing in the coordinates and sending her time capsule off to that location. 

Her head poked out and she looked around. A few more moments passed and she was climbing the stairs of the lab, going to climb up and look for supplies in the area. Nearing the top, she froze as a chill ran down her spine. A voice, the same voice from earlier. It was saying something different this time. 'Move now' 

The Rani's hands were on her hips, staring at the console of her TARDIS. The screen showed that she was inside, successfully infiltrated Torchwood Three. It was rumored that there was alien technology there. She thought it was perfect, a perfect place to slip in and get weapons and other materials that she needed for her scientific experiments.  (Of course it was also always handy to have a weapon or two on hand).

The time lady was thankful that no signs of life showed up on her monitor. She muttered something in Gallifreyan before making her way over to  the door of the time capsule and stepping out. It was empty, her shoes echoing on the ground as she walked.

The Torchwood base was interesting, interesting to her at least. The Time lady walked around, soon finding herself in front of something. Something that seemed to monitor the rift. Frowning, she reached out trying to touch the damaged piece. Who had been in there? What would they have gained from damaging the machine there?

The Rani shook her head and started to rummage through things, finding alien technology here and there, taking it so she could have to use for her own current experiment. As she turned to leave, heading back to where her time capsule was, a wind blew by, carrying a voice on them. 'Come to us, come to us and come to the rift. You could use such power for a scientific opportunity, you know you want to.'
