Constellation 01

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Arthur seems quite startled as he appears on the Plane. For a moment, there is a look of confusion on his face, but it soon changes to one of delight] Oh, this is brilliant. Don’t recall having a dream like this before. [Gazing up, he begins to see what stars he can recognize] There’s Arcuturus, then Rigul. I don’t recognize any in that particular cluster… Even in the country, you can’t see stars as bright as these.

[Then he looks down at the ‘floor’. Rather than being scared that he is apparently walking on nothing, Arthur kneels, grinning as he traces constellations with his finger] There’s the Diamond of Virgo; Arcturus, Spica, Denebola, and Cor Caroli. The Big Dipper, of course. [then a frown as he pauses over a particular group of stars] Hold on. This is the Great Square of Pegasus, isn’t it? Shouldn’t be able to view these two at once. Diamond of Virgo is for spring, the Great Square of Pegasus for summer…..

A bit worrying, if my dreams have such simple mistakes.

Bit lost, are you?

[oh, this is just ridiculous]

What's your name, then? And tell me you're not going to whip out a wooden stick and try to injure me with it, or I'll be very very cross. At least you're relatively clean.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Oh, hullo. Have we met before?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

I doubt that. Aniki Forfrysning. You're new? Different reaction to this place than most.

[It's all Kisha's fault and you know it. And stop confusing him, Master]

...Arthur Eddington. And what's this about a wooden stick?

[contract_star]

...This is getting kind of ridiculous.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[as if the Master would know who that is]

I think it's called a 'wand' in some ridiculous universe where magic exists. Very ridiculous, in fact.

[steps up and starts appraising him]

Not the best example of a human being, either, are you?

New? To this particular dream, I suppose.

[madamemoiselle]

{Kneeling in front of him with a smile}

Ne, ne, a smart one this time?

[...........]

It's my personal experience that magic is often that which science has yet to explain.

[Arthur may be a little unnerved, but he doesn't move back]

I've never claimed to be. Who are you, if you don't mind me asking?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

The Master. Time Lord. You look just like my best enemy, so don't be terribly surprised when you meet people calling you 'the Doctor,' or, worse yet, when you meet the Doctor himself. And there's a slight chance you'll bump into a madman with a wand. That would be amusing. Perhaps you'd kill each other off.

Bad eyes?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

You seem to know your stars!

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't call it ridiculous, just inaccurate. They are in the right positions, at least.

[contract_star]

No, I'm...actually kind of used to that by now.

Are you a Doctor? Or someone who looks like him?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Does not look up, still too busy tracing stars]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Sits next to him] All the constellations are jumbled. Is there one you're looking for?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Looks up at Diva, somewhat confused] This time?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[For now, he is unaware of Barty's presence, too busy studying the stars]

[forthedarklord.livejournal.com]

[Let's fix this, shall we?] Which one are you?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Just sort of looking at him.]

Oh, well, at least you like constellations. The other one is a bit crazy, apparently.

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, well, people come here pretty regularly.

{She smiles sweetly} Ne, but the last one that looked like you, he didn't seem as smart.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[...talking wolf. Well, this is a dream, so maybe it's not that out of the ordinary] I study them for a living.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

A Doctor? No. Astrophysicist, actually.

....who do I look like?
