[today, Oliver arrives on the Plane with a bed in tow. not just any bed, but what appears to be a standard-issue hospital bed from the 27th century. he is also wearing a hospital gown, and he has an oxygen tube hooked to his nose and an IV in his arm, although the appartuses the devices were attached to don't seem to have made it to the Plane with him. hopefully he didn't actually need those. interestingly enough, there is no sign of injury on Oliver himself, except for perhaps the IV in his arm. but in addition to all this, Oliver looks terribly startled to have arrived on the Plane]

What the--what is this!? [looks around him in confusion, then gives the IV a suspicious look] I thought I wasn't on anything strong! Why the hell... This was a dream! [turns upward, apparently addressing the stars themselves] A dream, you hear?

I know I was wishing to be anywhere but hospital, but blimey, that didn't mean I wanted to start hallucinating! [sighs] I wonder how long this is gonna last... [props himself up a bit, pulling the tube out of his nose as he turns to take a look around him]

[ooc: This is NOT an experiment. Oliver is suffering from some nasty side effects of chemical exposure during an incident on Gondovan. He currently has amnesia stretching through the last several years of his life. His memory will slowly return, but for now he doesn't remember the Plane or anyone on it, nor how his empathy ability works. he also doesn't remember the details of his life on Gondovan or even the end of his travels with the Doctor. So, enjoy the confused Brummie!]

Yeah, then, uh. What part doesn't make sense?

[oliverplus]

You mean aside from being in the middle of the stars in a hospital bed?

I mean, I get it now, really. But I think this is one of those cases where a hallucination is easier to believe than reality!

[onehundredbeers]

[He itches his head as Oliver talks.]

I thought it was- it was pretty easy. You know, just... astronauts totally lied! So other people wouldn't go to space. They, uh, they wanted to keep it to themselves. Totally lame.

[oliverplus]

Uh...I don't think it's really that simple. Space is one thing, but this place is something else.

[onehundredbeers]

No, I'm pretty sure it's space. ...With a floor. And oxygen. But it's space.

[Pause.]

Space that's also a pandimen- no, fuck, uhhhh... multi-universal hubpoint between, uh, like alternate universes and shit? But it's still space. With a floor.

[oliverplus]

Uh...sure, if you say so.

So what else is there, anyway? Is this whole place space?

[onehundredbeers]

Uhhhhh. There's stuff here. Like... a kitchen. Movie theater. Fucking badass collis- col- that place where uh romans and whatever fought and tossed lions in there and stuff. A bar.

[He hasn't explored much beyond that, so now he thinks.]

Probably some other junk.

[oliverplus]

There's a Coliseum!? Wow.

[laughs] A bar in space? Ohhh, now this really must be a dream!

[onehundredbeers]

It isn't, okay, we are not going through that again. There is a bar, with, you know, infinite booze.

[oliverplus]

[laughs] It can be real and a dream at the same time.

Wait. Wait wait wait! Did you say infinite!?

[onehundredbeers]

Yes, it's fucking badass! Only downside: you have to serve yourself. But fucking... infinite free booze.

[oliverplus]

Now that's incredible!

Where is it?
