[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?

Yep! Dorothy Gale. [pauses] What's your name?

You've likely heard of me already! I am Alexander III of Macedon, Alexander the Great, and most recently, I've been called Rider.

Alexander the Great? Really? The Alexander the Great? [grins, offering him a hand to shake] Thought you looked familiar. Met you once, actually, but you wouldn't recognise me anymore. If you're the one I met, that is. It's possible you've come out of an alternate universe.

{He laughs merrily, taking the Doctor's hand in an enthusiastic handshake}

Perhaps indeed! I met so many people in my lifetime that I forget to remember them all. But perhaps your name will shake my memory a bit? Alternate universe or not!

[returns the handshake just as enthusiastically] I'm the Doctor! Looked much older back then.

Just "the Doctor"? Hmm, I can't recall anyone by just that name! I knew far more doctors towards the end of my life, but that's a different kind, I suppose!

[chuckles] Yes, it's a very different kind of doctor. I've got my moments, though.

{Laughs} Is that so? Do tell!
