one: scientific curiousity

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

[Well, then, if you don’t mind, there’s just going to be a twenty-something young woman entering the plane. Wearing black trousers. a white t-shirt, and a slightly oversized tuxedo jacket, which is naturally very dull and boring and unlikely to last very long as an outfit. She immediately starts inspecting things, because this is all very interesting and unexpected, which is naturally pretty magnificent.]

Coliseum, looks like perfect condition. Completely out-of-place star and nebula patterns, ground made from- [Just a moment, bouncing on her feet a little, then getting on her stomach for a proper inspection.] –I can’t say I recognize this. Reflective qualities; definitely not glass. If I could get a sample off- [She starts patting down her jacket pockets for something useful, and then notices... the black hole. Hel-LO there.]

Someone’s been busy, I can say that. That can’t be- [And as she leans forward for a proper look, she realizes that, hello again, she’s not alone. She addresses the nearest person.] Hello. I’m the Doctor [and you’ve NO idea how good it is to say that!]. I’m a scientist, and just... passing through for a bit. This is a very fascinating environment. Is any of it yours?

Likewise, Oliver.

[Hopefully!]

So uh... [he debates asking when and how she became...well. but when is probably too relative and how is quite possibly something he wouldn't want to know anyway. after a moment of just looking awkward, he remembers that she's just arrived on the Plane. her nonchalance almost made him forget!] Well, welcome to the Astral Plane. Has anybody explained this place to you yet?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Not very well.

[oliverplus]

Okay, well, lots of people come here--from all sorts of worlds and universes. Even more than one version of the same person! Well, of you, anyway. [makes a face--he still can't get his head around the fact that she's the Doctor] And...there are lots of places to visit here, like a kitchen that never gets empty, and a bar that does the same. And uh...oh! You can go home anytime by thinking about it, and it's the same to get back here. I think those are the basics, at least. Well. And the experiments, but you'll see that when something happens...

Anything else you wanna know?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Yes. Where is it?

[oliverplus]

[frowns] Wish I could answer that. Nowhere, I think. Or everywhere, maybe... The things that happen here can affect our homes, too.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

I don't follow.

[oliverplus]

Uh... [scratches his head, trying to figure out how to explain--preferably without spilling about his wish] Well, I haven't had it happen to me yet, but I've heard about people's worlds sort of combining--merging, they call it. One of the other Doctors here had a couple people show up in his TARDIS, for one.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Really.

[There are so many things wrong with this. HER TIME LADY SENSIBILITIES DO NOT APPROVE.]

[oliverplus]

Yeah. It's weird, but it happens.
