[Finding herself on the plane is Rose Marion Tyler, arriving from 1950's London and her own universe. Her gaze is lifted, fixed and unwavering to the sky and is riveted to the large, gaping hole above her. Several seconds pass, uncounted, in silence with her lips slightly parted in shock.]

Well, this is...different.

Can't imagine where I've ended up, or how I've made it here for that matter. Sure didn't come by TARDIS, and if..

[Her speech pauses as a hitched, startled sound comes from her throat, prompting a wild look cast over her shoulder. The same repeats in the other direction, and then twice more, frantic. A little breath comes roughly from her lips again, now filled with a note of panic.]

...and if I didn't come by TARDIS, then that means the Doctor's not here, either.

Right, then that's...well, didn't expect it, really. In London just a second ago, middle of the crowd after the coronation and then I'm just...here. Still haven't any idea where here is, but it's definitely not London. Not any place I've seen before, either, or heard about. The Doctor talked about..vortexes and things, but seeing one...

...don't...really have words for it.

[Another few moments pass and then Rose blinks twice, as if to pull herself mentally away from the hole overhead. A slightly strained smile twitches at the corners of her lips, in an attempt to be confident but falling short.]

Right, then! Well, am I alone here? Got to be someone else around, right? Someone who can tell me what's going on?

Anyone? Hello!

[Well, hello! It takes Rose just a few short seconds to realize where the question came from, and then she looks up to the woman in the tree so she can return the friendly wave]

Yeah, first time, that's right!

[she pauses and considers for a moment]

Well, the Doctor I'm looking for, he's got a thing for suits, and his hair's not quite ginger, which he doesn't like too much. Talks a lot about things people probably think are crazy..any of this sounding familiar?

[she shrugs sympathetically]

You're gonna need to be a little more specific; There's at least two of those runnin' around. Not to say it doesn't help! Does narrow it down a little, in that it knocks the one I kick around with outta the running. Just a sec...

[the girl slides off the tree branch and hops to the ground, landing neatly on her feet in the show. Her shoes are obscured by it, but she seems to be pretty normal looking, in jeans and a corduroy jacket. She smiles and dusts off her hands]

There, that's better. On the same level now, much more polite. I'm Dorothy, by the way, nice to meetcha!

[and she offers her hand to shake]

[more than one Doctor? Bit of a confusion, but haven't stranger things happened? Rose can't be sure at this point what would be the better or worse answer to that thought. But at least Dorothy is friendly about it]

Two? Well, hadn't expected that at all. But then again I didn't expect to end up here, so it looks like this is a nice setting for the unexpected.

[now she takes the offered hand in a friendly shake]

I'm Rose Tyler.

Rose Tyler! There's a name I've heard before.

[that's maybe something that requires a little elaboration, but she's not giving any, she's just barreling on ahead with the conversation, all smiles]

Well, I s'pose you could say this place is like a crossroads of a sort, like a room that all these universes have doorways headin' into. Sometimes pieces of 'em get all mixed up in other people's and you can end up with a castle in your backyard or something. It can get confusing.

[roseoflegend.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What've you heard of me?

[here she offers up a slightly cheeky grin, because she doesn't have the slightest idea what could be said about her. Little does she know!]

Confusing sounds about like it! But that's all right, means discovering new things and all that.
