[Sure seems like the forest is getting a lot of foot traffic recently, doesn't it? This time, there's rather a lot of noise echoing out from it - almost like someone is blundering around and crashing into things. And there is a perhaps familiar Scottish voice that drifts out to any passersby.]

Try to murder a McCrimmon, will ye? CREAG AN TUIRE!

[More crashing and then...silence. For a short while, anyway. After a bit, Jamie comes stumbling into view, rubbing at his eyes with his hand. It's hard to see his face because of it.]

Ungh. What happened?

[He decides to drop the hand to take a look around, and it might be evident that something's off, for Jamie now looks to be about forty or so.]

Where is everyone? Doctor? Zoe?

((OOC: Starting Jamie's experiment! If you're not one of the Doctors, and haven't decided on a character, check here and please list your choice in the subject line? Otherwise it will be randomly picked. Thanks!))

Gulliver! ....oh gosh that rhymes

[oliverplus]

[forgive Oliver if he just gapes at you for a moment. the fact that he's feeling your confusion on top of his own probably isn't helping the situation]

Jamie! What happened!? Are you...okay?

[can somebody be okay when they've been randomly aged?]

It does!! Heh.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Gaping is fine, because Jamie simply stares back rather blankly. Then - almost as if someone threw a switch - recognition dawns. Of a sort, anyway. It's not the usual reaction Jamie has when he sees Oliver.]

Oh, there ye are. Look, I'm fine, but I'll not be if those white robots catch me. Ye know your way around here. How do I get out?

I really didn't notice when I chose him!

[oliverplus]

[raises an eyebrow, trying to process all that] What white robots? Wait, you're being chased!?

Out of where? Jamie...we're on the Plane.

It's great, though. XD

[bonnypiperlad]

The Plane? [That's definitely not ringing any bells, judging by the rather confused expression on Jamie's face.] What are ye talking about?

[Even though it's quite quiet now that he's not thrashing around, he looks around suddenly - almost as if noticing some unexpected noise.] Did ye hear that?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[Damon is going to pull an Oliver, and just gape at you for a moment, Jamie. then, hesitantly;] ...Jamie?

[bonnypiperlad]

[Oh, Damon, is Jamie ever so happy to see you - but not in the way you think. Resting his hands on his hips for a moment, he smiles in obvious relief. That's one down.]

Zoe! Och, I thought I'd never find ye in here. Have ye seen the Doctor?

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[frowns] Jamie, it's me, Damon. I'm not whoever you think I am. And you're a great deal older than you ought to be. I have a very bad feeling about this.

[bonnypiperlad]

Damon? Who's Damon? [Confused Jamie is confused, but then decides she's having him on, especially with that comment about his age.]

Oh, don't be ridiculous, Zoe. How could I be any older? You just saw me not half an hour ago, before the TARDIS broke up.

[collector]

Mr McCrimmon, you do realize that you're safe here, don't you? Relatively speaking.

[He has decided not to worry too much about the appearance for now. Answers will come out eventually.]

[bonnypiperlad]

[He doesn't believe that for one moment, judging from his tone.]

Aye. Safe. That's why ye sent your robots after me, Zoe and the Doctor. To keep us safe.

[collector]

[It may be slightly concerning to note that Braxiatel actually had to consider whether or not he may have ever sent robots after the Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe. It is not completely improbable. But if he ever did, his future self would have sent back the memo for that. They do try to be helpful at least about that sort of thing. With that established, Braxiatel concludes that he didn't do whatever Jamie thinks he did]

I don't have any memory of sending robots after you. Were you in need of help with heavy lifting?

[bonnypiperlad]

[Oh, it would be...that is, if one is actually aware of who it is they're talking to currently. Which Jamie is not, so he thinks Brax is lying.]

Ye can deny it all ye like, but I know that ye gave the orders to look for me. I heard it when I was with Gulliver. I don't know why ye bothered. It's not like the Doctor's ever going to take that job of yours.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Axel doesn't need Darksense to recognize that angry accent. He shoves his hands into the pockets of his clown coat and watches him.]

Yo.

You're looking substantially more mature today.

[bonnypiperlad]

You. I'll sort ye this time.

[Jamie's eyes narrow, a look of determination coming into them. Without warning, he rushes forward, bringing the dirk in his other hand up and then slashing downwards with a violent motion once he's close enough to do so. Either he's mistaken Axel for someone else or he's really cheesed off, because he's definitely intending on doing some injury here.]

Creag an tuire!!

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Whoa whoa whoa! [Axel jerks back, but not fast enough to avoid the dirk completely; it leaves a pretty big gash across his middle and holy shit that hurts. It also ruined his favorite shirt but we'll not worry about that for now. He cries out through gritted teeth and tries to put some distance between the two.]

The fire thing was just a misunderstanding! I thought we were cool!

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, right. A misunderstanding. [Jamie circles around, looking for another opening. He may have drawn blood, but apparently that's not enough for him. His voice gets louder as he speaks, anger sparking in his eyes.]

It was a misunderstanding that ye killed the members of my clan at Culloden. It was a misunderstanding when ye tried to have us hanged after. No, that was no misunderstanding, and I'll not give ye the chance to do it again, Redcoat!

[Even though he may -look- older, he's still moving with the speed and agility of someone in their early twenties, and he darts towards Axel suddenly, trying to close the gap between them again. The closer he can get, the better chance he has to do some real damage with his dirk.]

[ladycataclysm.livejournal.com]

[All those crashes sounded serious! And it is important to Estelle to make sure that everything is okay, always.]

Are...are you all right? Were you attacked?

[bonnypiperlad]

No, I thought I saw something, but it's not important. Don't ye worry, lass, I'm fin...

[As Jamie turns in the direction of where Estelle's voice is coming from, his eyes suddenly widen with alarm. He snaps them shut almost immediately and turns away again. After a moment, he slowly starts to explore his face and arms, as if making sure he's still in once piece. There's a sigh of relief when he realizes he's still intact.] Thought I'd not make it through that.

[He addresses Estelle again, but is very carefully not looking at her when he does so.] L-look, what is it ye want?

[anoblesavage.livejournal.com]

... Jamie? Who are you fighting?

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, I'll fix that Redcoat the next time I... [Jamie is looking off in the direction that he came from so misses Leela's approach, but the voice catches his attention.] Hey?

[While he sounds puzzled for a moment - and much like his normal self - his whole demeanor changes once he sees who it is he's talking to.] Your highness! I'm terribly sorry. I'd not expected to meet ye down here. Why are ye not at the castle?

[anoblesavage.livejournal.com]

Jamie? [She understood every word in that sentence, but they made no sense when you put them together.] I am no ... no princess! It is me, Leela. Leela of the Sevateem.

[They'd only met once, after all. Maybe he didn't recognise her?]

[bonnypiperlad]

[He's not recognizing a lot of people at the moment, unfortunately, and all that does is confuse him.] Leela of the Severed Team?

[The fact she's using some other name is starting to cause Jamie some concern - he's worried she's maybe hurt herself in some way.] Your highness, are ye all right?

[bit_impossible]

Jamie, Jamie, calm--[his eyes widen]--hold on a mo'...did you just say Zoe? Has she come here as well now?

[bonnypiperlad]

Doctor! [Have a big smile from Jamie, who promptly runs over to greet Ten with enthusiasm. There may be some relieved clutching in there as well, just to make sure the Time Lord's still in one piece.] You're all right!

[Well, possibly all right. He's a little confused by the question, and looks at Ten oddly.] Well, aye, of course. We all came here after the TARDIS broke up.

[bit_impossible]

[he smiles a bit crookedly, fondly remembering that, and he pats him on the back] Of course I am! Never better. [his smile falls. his TARDIS has broken up with Jamie aboard since...no, that isn't possible] But where is "here", exactly?
