[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.

{Oh hey, you look like one of the TARDIS's many faces!

Wonderful.}

Ah~ That's a familiar face, but I doubt that you're the TARDIS.

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

[A person! Turlough will be giving you a very confused look.]

I'm not -- er, how do you know about the TARDIS?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, if it isn't Vislor Turlough! Aren't those clothes a bit loose for you?

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

[Have a glare, Master -- he hates being called Vislor.] How do you know my name?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, the TARDIS and I don't really get along, I'm afraid.

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

[This must be what going crazy feels like.] Really. And why is that?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I'm psychic. You don't recognise me, do you? Ooh, but that wounds. I'm sure you'll remember me, soon enough.

[ofalzarius.livejournal.com]

You know the Doctor?

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

No, I don't. And I'm not quite sure I want to, either.

[madamemoiselle]

She's very rude, of course.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Then I won't stop you from carrying on in ignorance. When are you, by the way? Off of your visit to Gallifrey? Enjoying some historical education?

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

I travel with him. I take it he's around here somewhere? [pauses and looks around] Wherever here is?

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

[suspicious look -- give him a bit, he'll put it together] We've just left Sarn.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

With the Doctor?

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

Not without reason, I've learned.

[he doesn't appreciate those cold showers, TARDIS. :(]

[marthajonesmd.livejournal.com]

[Martha, still in a dress straight out of the 1850s, gives Turlough an amused look] He always says that, but it never quite turns out that way, does it?

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

Of course. And Peri.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[his expression slips into disdain] Alternate universes. Well, you have my condolences.

[madamemoiselle]

Ah, I'm afraid her reason isn't very good, though. She doesn't like me because of what I am.

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

You'd think that with a time machine it wouldn't be so hard to find somewhere nice that isn't Earth.

[pauses]

So how do you know him? Another companion, I assume?

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

What you are?

[exiledtrion.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? And for travelling with the Doctor, or for having Peri aboard?

[ofalzarius.livejournal.com]

There are quite a few of him around here, actually. I'm sure you'll run into one of them soon enough.

And this is the Astral Plane. It acts as a sort of nexus between realities. If you want to go back to your own all you have to do is think about it. [He says all this as if it should be obvious. You'd never have guessed that just a few short months ago he was just as clueless as Turlough.]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Let's say 'both' and leave it at that.

[madamemoiselle]

Well, not right now, because of something the Twins have done, but I'm a vampire, to tell the truth.
