[The Doctor appears on the Plane, a mixture of utterly confused, and mildly annoyed] Oi! Bit more of an explanation would be nice! What sort of machine... [and he trails off when he notices the stars and galaxies, his expression turning to one of manic delight]

Fantastic! [walks around a bit, relieved to find that he is not falling through space, before noticing something] ...Hang on, this is all a bit wrong. Like some idiot cut up the universe and pasted it back together, but they’ve got no idea where anything goes. [digs through his pockets and eventually pulls out a red sharpie and a pad of paper, drawing out some proper star charts, and sticking them onto the “floor” of the Plane with duct tape. Because it holds the universe together.]

See? Not terribly complicated, is it? I’m sure you lot could fix it up this “machine” of yours with a bit of jiggery-pokery in no time. [crosses his arms] I’d fix it myself, but I’ve sort of got things to do, places to see, etc. So if someone wouldn’t mind showing me the way out, I’d appreciate it, thanks. [ waits for some kind of response] ...Ah. Maybe a bit of bribery? I’ve got...erm...[digs around in his pockets again, and pulls out a banana] ...a banana? Good source of potassium, bananas. [another pause] That’s never going to work, is it?

[stop that D:] Oi, I like bananas. Bananas are good.

[But he is a teenager! >:]

Yeah, but... don't they go bad really fast?

[~~so is Nine~~ no excuse :|] Good question! But nope. Got that one from Villengard. 51st century. Lasts a bit longer than your average Earth banana.

[Lawl. Time periods mean nothing to a kid that travels to different worlds, all with their own time-keeping practices.] Never heard of Villengard before.

[Nine does not know this, but he is intrigued by the fact that he doesn't react to the 51st century thing] Not surprised. Where are you from?

Twilight Town. What about you?

Twilight Town? Never heard of a Twilight Town. What planet? [avoiding your question? Perhaps. :|b]

Um... Twilight Town? [No one's ever really asked what... planet, before. Usually just what world.]

[blinks] The name of a town's the name of the entire world? Must be a tiny planet.

Yeah... it's not so big.

[chuckles] Thought not. What's it like, your Twilight Town? Besides tiny.

Well... it's quiet. Constantly in twilight. Boring. [Despite the bland description of the place, he's got a nostalgic little smile on his face.]

[the Doctor smiles a bit too] Not so bad though, is it?

Yeah. [A little laugh.] What's the saying...? "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?

That's the one. [looks a bit distant for a moment, before focusing his attention on Roxas again] Fellow traveler, then?

[He nods.] Yep. You travel a lot, too?

[beams] All the time! I've got this...hang on, what's your name? Don't think I ever asked.

Oh, right. Sorry. It's Roxas. Who are you?

The Doctor! Nice to meet you, Roxas.

The Doctor...? I met another guy called that before. You know him?

Depends. Dorothy said there were quite a few of me about, but if they're future or alternate regenerations, can't say I've met them yet. What was he like?

Um... [vague gesturing goes here] about yea high, wore a suit, brown hair... We talked about traveling and friends, mostly.

Regenerations?

[shakes his head] Description doesn't ring a bell, might be a future me. I've got the ability to regenerate into a new self...sort of a trick for cheating death. Doesn't last forever though, I've only got a few more regenerations left.

A new self?

[nods] New look, new personality quirks...we've still got the old memories, though, and all the essential bits that make us the Doctor. I'm the Ninth.
