[He appears on the plane and instantly spins around, startled and instantly confused. This isn't where he was a moment ago and it certainly isn't where he was expecting to go.

He pulls out his sonic screwdriver and holds it aloft, testing for...well, anything recognizable. That failing, he opts for a more conventional tactic.]

Hello?

Is anyone there?

[It's going to be a very long day.]

Comments

[lamb_of_gold]

Doctor, there are many people here. There are always people here....

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

AAAAH!

Sorry, no, I wasn't startled.

Wait, did you just call me 'Doctor'? Have we met?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[Appearing not far off with a few books in tow, she's smiling just a fraction.]

Oh, there are quite a few others here.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[His eyes go wide and a grin slowly appears on his face.]

Romanadvoratrelundar.

Second incarnation, I see. It's...well, it's...been a long time.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Of course we're here, Doctor. Have you forgotten?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Bridga---

No.

No, you're not. Some sort of an emergency, then? Caused you to change form?

[contract_star]

Looking for someone too?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm just looking for, uh, where I am.

Who are you looking for?

[madamemoiselle]

Ne, Doctor, of course there are people here.

{Then thoughtfully because she remembers one of those screwdrivers killing her B(} But what are those things anyways?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I suppose we've met before then? [lowers screwdriver]

Let me guess. Hmmm. We have...a...no. Nope, sorry. Not ringing any bells. Timeline error, I'm guessing. Can we start with introductions?

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Is nearby, standing and just surveying his surroundings quietly. And decides, what the hell] Hi.

And to answer that, quite a few people.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Hi!

Oh! Well, you know. Makes things a little easier, knowing that I'm not alone in...where am I?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack watches, raising an eyebrow but saying nothing; this might just be another of the Doctor's 'it's logical to me, but no one else' moments]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[Turns, spots Jack and suddenly develops an 'Oh, well THAT explains everything' expression.]

Captain.

[barelyemoting.livejournal.com]

[the Brigadier has been on the Plane more often lately, so for your viewing pleasure, he is here; and wondering exactly why the Doctor is baffled, seeing as he's been her for ... well, quite some time]

Something wrong, Doctor?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[Superdooper wide grin! And the possibility of a random hug may be in the future!]

Brigadier! Or is it Sir? Wait, no, you're too young for that.

Where are we?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[This is Rose, in a metal bikini ala Princess Leia

...this may or may not end up being really awkward]

You look different.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[Expression changes to one of somber understanding.]

Ah. It's one of those dreams, then.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Oh! Hello!

Um, I seem to have misplaced my...ship. Somewhere. Haven't seen a blue box, have you?

[lotsofrunning.livejournal.com]

There's always someone here.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Jenny?

What---where am I? How are you here?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[stares for a moment, then rubs his neck awkwardly]

Oh, well...this is somewhat unexpected. Hello, Doctor.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Oh! Thank goodness! A friendly face at last!

I suspect you're behind all of this, right? What did you blow up? Hmm?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[peers at him]

This is new. Well. That, or you've gone and got your memory tampered with, which would be very disappointing of you. I do expect better from myself.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[Eyes]

Interesting wardrobe change.

Did it come with the decor?

[notquiteawidow.livejournal.com]

Well there you are! Haven't seen you for a bit. I was starting to think you got lost somewhere.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Donna!

Blimey, seems like everyone here knows me but I don't know them. What happened, did I take a wrong turn leaving the Library?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

The bloody hell are you on about now?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, I was on about walking down the street towards a particularly lovely little shop---I like a little shop---and then suddenly I was on about standing here, in front of you with---where am I?

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[watches him, expression somewhat perplexed, lost and also just the faintest bit hard] Doctor.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[stands a careful distance from her, looking her up and down like he might a dangerous animal]

Mrs. Saxon.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

What's that...? [nods to the screwdriver]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[ooooh, a chance to talk about his toy! He instantly forgets how worried he was upon arrival]

Ooh! This is a sonic screwdriver, brand-new model. It's apparently got a red setting and dampers, but I haven't had a chance to play around with it just yet. Does everything by sound waves.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Twinkle twinkle little Cy. She's still sitting on top of her cages, surrounded by floating sparks and music.]

...well well, do tell. Another honey-man, and this one a version ten-point-oh-too?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[Well, that's new.]

Um, hello there? Don't suppose you could give me the galactic coordinates as to where I am?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Doctor, your capacity for idiocy never fails to astound. You always find new and delightful ways to prove to me just how idiotic you are.



Wait.

I can still...

...you're not the only...

...because I just left him...

[walks right up to him, tilts his head curiously, and pulls out his screwdriver for a scan]

Now isn't that both very interesting and highly improbable? Unless you're evil. Everything's made more probably by evil twins. Oh, God, I hope you're not a Valeyard-type thing. Are you a Valeyard-type thing? I hate those. Those are annoying. Don't be one or I'll kill you without even doing the 'worthy enemy blah blah' thing.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[Stunned practically to the point of immobility, until he pulls out his screwdriver, than his own is out as well]

That's impossible. Completely---

[Recovers]

I take it you're to blame for my arrival here, then? All part of your mind games? Got to make sure you twist the knife in just a little deeper, eh, Master? I should've known.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Well, I've never known the Astral Plane to be empty yet.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I'm still not convinced. Astral plane. Honestly?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Have an Amaterasu coming to investigate and leaving the usual trail of flowers and grass.] Ah, and another one with the smell of time in him! And a newcomer to this place, it seems.

Welcome to the Astral Plane, young one!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[watches the flowers and grass trail with interest]

Well, hello there.

And I'm not you know. Only young on the outside.

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

Plenty of us today. Something wrong?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It's you!

[Expression says: =D!]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[And here's Misaki in scrubs, flipping through her notes on the disappearances. She looks up at the Doctor... and senses Something is Amiss.]

Doctor? Are you alright?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

No! I'm not!

[sighs, it's not her fault, after all]

And I'm sorry, I'm not him. Well, I am, but...not.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

Um, yes, hello, sir. [Bows.] A-are you new? This place... is rather alarming. B-but there is a floor! You just can't see it.

[Must address the practical aspects first, nodnod]

I am Tohru Honda. I only just got here as well, but the people are very nice!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[oh, thank goodness, someone who doesn't seem to recognize him!]

Hi there, Tohru! I'm the Doctor.

And yes, I was finding the ground a bit disconcerting.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Have an immortal looking at you with mild confusion.] You okay, Doc?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not! Alternate universes, astral planes, and for some reason the Master is here!

[beat]

And please refrain from addressing me as 'Doc'.
