[Crowley appears on the Plane on his beloved white leather sofa, kicked back sans shoes and jacket, reading what looks to be some sort of financial journal. He's got a red pen in one hand, but rather than marking in the journal he appears to just be tapping the non-marking end of it thoughtfully against his mouth.]

[Henrietta appears on his heels, looking absolutely livid.] Bloody hell, Dad!

[eyes still on the journal] Mm.

[She grabs it out of his hands.] What did you do to him. Where did he go?

[finally looks up, calmly] I'm certain he'll turn up in a week or so. Jamaica this time, perhaps. Probably even safe and sound.

Dad! You can't banish every boy that steps inside the flat! [She throws the magazine at him.]

[...oof. He grabs for the journal.] You mean I've done this before? [a thoughtful pause, then a smirk] Good for me.

No, not good for you! I still have James in a terrarium in my room since you've forgotten. We were working on a biology project!

[Crowley snorts and goes back to leafing through his magazine.] Biology. That's rich.

[GAH. She's got teenage Furious Tears(tm) going now.] Just because you've not the balls to drag the angel into bed—

[Rising off the sofa now, looking slightly furious himself.] Don't bring anyone elssse into thisss, young lady.

You're the one who brought boyfriends into it! [She stands her ground, resisting the urge to stomp her foot.]

Your room. Now.

[Remus rolls violently onto the Plane, wincing as his shoulder strikes the surface, but immediately he's up again, kneeling, knuckles white as he clutches his wand; after a moment, he relaxes, and whispers hoarsely]

Worked. Good.

[he looks horrible; his robes are ripped, his bare skin covered in scratches and bruises, his hair dirty and tangled; he's breathing heavily, now, one hand pressed down heavily, supporting his trembling frame]

[Pino is back on the Plane, but she looks a bit different. For one thing, she's now wearing a full-body, pink bunny suit, complete with enormous ears. The lock of hair that is showing beneath the hood is no longer dark brown, but purple. She is looking around the Plane with a mysterious little smile.]

Pino came back! Can Pino play here? Can Pino show Vince?

[The pink ears give a curious twitch and she hops forward onto a star shining beneath the Astral floor.]

Exploring. Hop! [She jumps to another star.] Hop! [Jump.] Hop! [Jump.]

[So Tosh is mostly unchanged when she steps onto the Plane.

Except for one /big/ difference - she happens to be, oh, about nine months pregnant.

Cue freaking out as she notices this.]

Oh my God, what the hell is going on here?

((ooc: Preggers!Naoko is from Spice World - yes, that Spice World - and can be found in a video, complete with musical number and Spice Girls trying to deliver her baby, here.))

Sam! Guv!

[have an Annie mid-run screeching to an almost halt, looking around herself, confused.]

Wha -

[she stops, looking back from where she came from again]

That was just a shop a minute ago, wasn't it?

[still looking around herself, eyes looking up, then down in confusion]

Doesn't seem to be much of a shop at the moment. Doesn't seem to be much of anything, really.

[turning around herself in a small circle and finally taking a deep breath]

Now just to work out what this is all about. Suppose I coulda slipped and fell back there. Hit my head and now I'm seeing stars [her eyes shift a little, still taking in her surroundings] everywhere. Or maybe I'm still in bed and I never even woke up yet this morning. Drugs maybe? They did bring in those hippies the other night. Really oughta try to keep a better eye on that lot.

Whatever it is, is enough to make you think you lost your mind.

[laughs, rolling her eyes]

And I'm talking to meself now, too. That solves it.

[Turlough arrives on the plane sans jacket and suddenly looking very startled. Of course, unusual things are commonplace when you travel with the Doctor, so he's not looking quite as worried as he probably should -- he's more irritated, actually. He pauses for a moment, then does a a complete circle, looking for someone -- or something -- even remotely familiar.]

Oh, hell. I swear, if we've bloody stepped sideways in time again, you and I, Doctor, are going to have words. I thought we were supposed to be going somewhere warm -- you know, without refugees or volcanoes or murderous natives?

[looking around the Plane with a frown]

Doctor? Peri?

...Brilliant. This doesn't look like a room in the TARDIS, and we certainly haven't landed anywhere.

[He pauses for a long moment, suddenly aware that this could be the Black Guardian's doing -- the White Guardian had said he'd be back, and angry over his previous defeat. If he'd been strong enough to contact him before, then he could be strong enough to pull something like this. Or perhaps he was unconscious again... ]

Right, if the Black Guardian's doing this, you can go ahead and sod off. You won't be getting my help, and you won't be getting the Doctor. You've lost.

[Ianto appears, and for the first time in two weeks he's standing on two legs.

He's also freshly suited, clean shaven, and may have gone slightly overboard with the deodorant and aftershave. He's found despite the sudden reappearance of his humanity, he's still pretty cattish in a lot of ways. Unfortunately for him, this does include fear of water, and the best he's managed is just washing himself off with a flannel, and a bit of overcompensation.

One might also notice he's not exactly happy. With a few people, actually. But there's one person here he's especially annoyed with...]

Juliet. A word, if you please.

[Brigitta appears on the plane, curled into a tight ball and shaking... She's near hysterical, tears have started down her cheeks and she keeps letting out odd coughing noises... Brigitta has not been having a good day] Oh please, oh please... Get me out.

[She shakes for a few more minutes and then seems to notice the plane, raising her head and blinking before falling over onto her side and letting out a cry of relief] It worked! Oh, thank heavens... It worked!

[Aaand she bursts into a fresh round of tears, these ones more relieved and extremely happy as she eventually elapses onto her back] Oh, air.

[Sits up again, her tears starting to slow gods, I really hate caves.
