[today there is a nine-year-old girl on the Astral Plane who, perhaps surprisingly, doesn't seem that bothered about her sudden presence in a multi-dimensional nexus. she has long brown hair and is wearing a plain T-shirt and jeans that are a little tattered and dirty, as though they've seen quite a bit of exploring. but her hair is neat and she doesn't look like she's been in anything particularly dirty today. being a curious child, though, she's made for the most interesting place she could spot--the black hole. currently, she has a hand in the gravity field around it and is attempting to see how far she can reach into that]

That feels weird! [she pushes her hand a little farther in, making a face at the sensation of the gravity fighting back] What is this thing?

[anyone listening might notice that the girl has a clear Mancunian accent. in fact, she may even look a bit familiar. but on her end, she's too busy poking at the field to notice anyone who might be approaching]

[ooc: Menzies is currently under her first experiment! For the time being, she has been regressed to when she was nine.]

Well, they can, but that doesn't mean they do. Not everyone can come to the Plane. Your mum, for example, couldn't do even if she tried.

[grip_on_reality]

What? Why not? [and, a bit suspiciously, she adds:] So you know me mum? [that would explain how he guessed her name, at least]

[bit_impossible]

You know... [starts scratching his chin] I'm not entirely certain. There must be some kind of selection process, but we're not privy to that information no matter how much we ask, beg, or--well, you get the idea. It's simply a fact that some people can't come here. They haven't got permission to. Besides, if your Mum could come here, don't you think she would've done already? [this is him cleverly dodging her question about knowing her mum but still letting on that he might know her after all.]

[thankfully for him, he does manage to distract her] Only if she knew I'm 'ere! [but a thought strikes her at that, and she gasps] Doctor...will she know I'm 'ere? Or is she gonna be looking for me? [she's clearly distressed at that prospect]
