[the Ninth Doctor appears in the astral plane just in time for his jaws to close on empty air] Well, that's... Hmm. [a confused pause, in which the Doctor is turning around in a complete circle and looking for a door or a hole or some other plausible explanation for how he got to where he's currently standing] Normally I'd suspect a wrong turn, but that's a bit difficult when you're sitting still with the parking brake on.

[he takes a few steps and then stops and bounces up and down in place] Solid enough. Good to know, 'cause I'd hate to... [trails off, frowning] No, that's enough playing along. Where's my TARDIS? Or, for that matter, my sandwich?

Hello?

Look, if you're going to go to the trouble of beaming someone out of their own chair mid-meal, you could have the decency to show up. It's common courtesy.

[a silence that stretches for what seems like several minutes, but was probably just a few seconds] What, am I talking to myself here?

Oh, come on.

It wouldn't be a pulled pork sandwich, would it?

I can't tell you what happened to yours, but I can manage a pulled pork.

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

[masking surprise] Nope, grilled cheese. Pulled pork's not bad though, I could go for one.

But first thing's first. What am I doing here?

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

You can go back.

[bloodonedge.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I don't think any of us have that answer.

[takes a plastic bag out of his pocket, pulls out half a pulled pork sandwich, and offers it with a smile] I'm Dexter, by the way.

[lamb_of_gold]

In the middle of a meal, hm?

........

[Stares]

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

I'll just have to keep asking then.

[he takes it and decides to stick it in his own pocket since this is no time for a snack] Great, thanks, I'm the Doc-- [swivels 'cause he just heard another voice]

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

--tor.

And how's that?

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

[ask and ye shall receive, he's thinking, since now there's all these people]

Yep.

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

[er, stares back? since her face hasn't quite clicked in his brain yet]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay. Three for the price of one. Well, two and a half, as the Fifth is rather unique.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Pokes] You real, or am I just seeing things?

[lamb_of_gold]

Quite unfortunate, but you can be sure it will not have moved upon your return. [Also, Mu is laughing at you in his head]

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

Think yourself back.

[bloodonedge.livejournal.com]

Well, there are plenty around to ask.

...The Doctor? That's funny. You're not the first one to say that.

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

Thi-- [and he's gone for about two seconds before popping right back]

OH FANTASTIC!

1/2

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

[okay he popped out for two seconds and then came back because he's a nab like that and didn't want to leave everyone hanging]

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

'Your' TARDIS? [watches him with a raised brow] I take it...you are the Ninth, then?

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

Handy.

[twelvemasks.livejournal.com]

[nods]

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

Real enough.

[pause, because guhhhh she seems familiar] Who're you then?

[lamb_of_gold]

Isn't it? Welcome to the Astral Plane.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Blinks] ...you mean you don't know?

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

[he's going to get a neck cramp from all this neck swiveling]

... That's funny, I should be.

[beams] Hullo! Long time no see!
