. . . Oh, this. This. Is. Gorgeous.

No, really, I mean it. I've seen a lot of things -- more things that you'd think I ever would, given my youthful and altogether handsome appearance, -- but this place. Brilliant! So flash! So shiny! Well, they're stars, how could they not be shiny? Although, strictly speaking, stars are more luminous than shiny. But you can't use luminous in an interjection. Too many syllables. Can't be spouting off exclamations of surprise if it takes more than a second. Wouldn't really be surprised, then -- it'd sound too premeditated to be genuine.

So! The shop's the gateway, yeah? Never seen it before today, and I'd figured I'd gotten used to this version of London by now. Still, always did like a little shop, but it feels a bit wrong that it'd be used for sinister purposes like this -- after all, I can't really see this as being positive, the whole kidnapping and displacing thing. I guess you really can't ever trust a salesman. Or a saleswoman. Or a salestwin, as the case might be.

But right, anyway! Sinister little shop leading to a mysterious planetarium taken to an extreme scale? I might be new to this universe, still, but I'm reasonably sure this wouldn't be considered normal.

Now, who wants to offer an explanation before I call for back-up? And you might want to be quick about it -- I like calling for back-up.

[Twitch. Because having to wait a year for someone to shoot the Master doesn't exactly bode well with Ianto.] And that's it?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Sort of.

I integrated myself into the Archangel Network over the course of the year, and Martha (Martha Jones, dunno if you've met her, fantastic woman) told the people of the Earth to think one thing at one moment: "Doctor."

Gave me enough power to stop the Master -- but I didn't kill him.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Heard of her. Never met her.

So you're saying all people need to do is think that one word? That's all?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's all.

But what do you mean "think"? This happened ages ago. Or, well, didn' happen, what with it being the "Year that Never Was" and all.

...which Doctor are you?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

A brand new one, apparently.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...there's three of you now?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . Evidently, yeah.

Awkward, innit?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

We'll have to work out a way to tell you apart.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Distinctive caps might help.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Would you wear a distinctive cap?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't, I don't think. Although it'd depend on the cap.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Name tags?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Now there's an idea, so long as we could all agree on names.
