[And once again, there is a newcomer to the Plane. This one appears to be a fairly short man with dark brown hair, who is wearing a black shirt that laces at the collar and a red kilt - one Jamie McCrimmon, by name. He stumbles for a moment, caught in mid-stride, then stops dead in his tracks.]

Hey! Where did that wee shop go?

[He glances around in bewilderment.]

Och, where am I?

[Scratching his head as he tries to figure this out, he turns and finds himself face to face with a strange building with the word 'Information' printed on a sign. He stares at it for a moment before reaching forward, taking one of the brochures, and starting to read.]

An "out-of-your-universe-experience." Not that again. A brico...what?

[This is all too confusing. He crumples up the brochure and throws it away, then sets off from the kiosk.]

Maybe if I can find the Doctor...

[Looking around, though, that seems to be an impossible task.]

Aye, well. Someone with some sense has to be around here somewhere. I'll just ask them.

The dematerialization circuit belonging to the thief in question, in fact.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Dematerialization circuit. He knows what that is - well, the simple version of it, anyway. And he knows there's a limited group of people who would have access to one. There's a moment while he thinks things through before he responds.]

So what ye are saying is that another one of your people stole a part from the TARDIS, and ye stole their dematerialization circuit in return?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

- Something like that, yes.

[Vaguely shifty. It may not have happened in quite that causality order.]

[bonnypiperlad]

[...]

Why don't ye just meet up and give each other the parts back, then?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

That is approximately what I hope will be happening.

[bonnypiperlad]

It would be a bit daft if they refused, if ye ask me.

[Not that she did, but he's giving his opinion anyway.]

At least ye can come here if ye want, aye?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

[A quick smile.] Yes, I can.

[And that helps, a lot.]

[bonnypiperlad]

Maybe ye can show me around here sometime, then.

[One side of his mouth curves into a bit of a grin.] Well, that is, if ye don't get sick of seeing me in both places.

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

[...Awww, Jamie. Slinging an arm around him.] Of course I won't.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Without even thinking about it, he reaches up and rests his hand on her upper arm for a moment, giving it a light squeeze. As strange as the idea of the Doctor being a girl is, some part of his brain must have accepted it as being truth. The half-grin turns into a genuine smile.]

Good.

[You may just wind up stuck with him yet, Three.]

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Brilliant.

[Aww, like Three would ever object to such a thing. Or. Any Doctor, really. The beaming confirms this.]

[bonnypiperlad]

So...do ye need to get back? Or did ye maybe have time for that tour?
