[001].

[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.

Comments

[oliverplus]

Well, I guess that's the thing about the Plane. We can go home, but if there's an experiment going on, it goes with you. And I've never tried to stay away for long, but I've heard that, even if you do, you get drawn back here.

[quickly, full of optimism] But you know, some of us come here to see everybody! Home's got nothing on that.

[bonnypiperlad]

So ye don't have much of a choice, it seems. [He's still not thrilled about the idea of experiments, and really not thrilled about getting drawn back if you try to stay away. However, it sounds as though once you're here, you're more or less stuck with it, and he sighs.]

Aye, well, I suppose that's something. And...I guess ye have things ye can do here, too. Like that ballroom thing.

[oliverplus]

Oh yeah, there's plenty to do! There's a bar with just about anything you could want. A kitchen that restocks itself. A theatre, a Coliseum, a beach, a forest, a library...

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie's heard some of that list before, from Nine - hence the mention of the ballroom. Doesn't mean he's still not curious.]

How did they all get here, anyway?

[oliverplus]

Wish I knew! Most everything I've seen was here when I got here. But! We can bring things to the Plane, so I think at least some of it came from the people here. Like that kiosk with the brochures--Irving brought that. [meaning Braxiatel, of course, but Oliver has a tendency to stick to first names]

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie hasn't actually met Braxiatel at this point, so the name doesn't really mean anything - other than it being someone Oliver knows. The idea of bringing things is an interesting one, though.]

Ye can bring things? Like if ye just grab on to them before ye come here they come with ye?

[Sorry, Oliver, Jamie does tend to ask a lot of questions.]

[oliverplus]

[that's okay; Oliver loves feeling helpful!]

Yeah, just like that!

Only, I'm not sure how people bring buildings. There's probably something more to that, but I haven't tried it yet.

[bonnypiperlad]

Hmm. [He'd like to test that theory, and holds up a finger.] I'll be right back, aye?

[With a *pop*, he disappears from the plane and returns a few moments later, holding two apples in one hand. Jamie looks rather pleased when they do still appear to be with him.]

Hey, how about that! [He offers one out to Oliver.] Do ye like apples?

[oliverplus]

[laughs] Looks like you're an expert on the Plane already! I do like apples. Cheers! [takes it and takes a bite]
