016 - Bwuh?

[soundof_drums]

Theta, I know you're here. Perhaps you could tell me more about this place-- all I can gather is that it exists outside of time and space, and that there are mad women here threatening to eat my hearts.

I assume it was one of your games that brought us here. You and "trouble" are intimately intertwined, after all.

This isn't what I had in mind when I said I couldn't wait to leave Gallifrey.

What?!

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Would you care to master another word?

[OOC: The Master says the same! But the floodwaters disagree D:]

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

I-- but you're-- you look

-- Oh, but that's impossible.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Look... incredible?

Not impossible at all. Who are you?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Oh, but you're still a tad bit arrogant. At least that much hasn't changed.

. . . I'm the Doctor.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

And how do you know me?

You remind me of a friend of mine.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

. . . I'm from Gallifrey. Time Lord. You looked a little familiar.

Yeah? Well, fancy that.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Hm. Doctor. Interesting name.

Two Time Lords are here, then. Have any other students found their way onto this vessel? I'm looking for somebody.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

I happen to like it, yeah.

Well, right now it's just you, me, and Romana makes three, so far.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I haven't achieved Time Lord status yet. I've... far more terms than I care for to complete.

Do you know how we've all landed here?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Oh, just give it time. I'm sure you'll pass with flying colors.

. . . I'm afraid I don't know the exact nature. As far as I know, this place sort of-- picks who it wants, or we arrive by choice.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Fascinating! Do you know what the destination is, or are we merely floating outside of time aimlessly?

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

We're just traveling, as far as I know -- a bit like an indefinite cruise liner. The good Admiral might have a destination in mind for us, but he's being relatively mysterious about it.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

...this is the oddest case of kidnapping I'd ever heard.

Well, the... seventh oddest.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, tell me about it.

-- Only the seventh, though?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I enjoy reading about them. Well, the universe is a strange place. But you must know that already.

Our captor seems to have our comfort in mind, at least. Ah, Theta would've loved to see this.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

I do, yeah, a lot stranger than anyone in the Academy would ever want its students to know.

. . . Yeah, he seems to be a relatively decent bloke, depending on your circumstances. It's a fascinating place.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

This is a fantastic opportunity then! To have this experience without the authorities around, mucking things up--

That is. Assuming you and Lady Romanadvoratrelunder aren't here to uphold Gallifrey's... restrictions.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Me? Blimey, wouldn't that be a laugh. But no, not at all. Definitely not me. Romana might have a different say, though.

. . . Which isn't to say that I won't be keeping an eye on you, mind. Interesting as this place is, it wouldn't do to get too wild.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't dream of it. I've more self-discipline than the rest of my peers.

But... This irritating gnat insists that I ask you about a blue box.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Right, yeah, levelheaded. Good trait to have.

That's. . . well, it's the preferred form of my TARDIS. Broken Chameleon Circuit, haven't bothered fixing it.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Ah, a TARDIS. I don't know why he was being so coy with that information.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

Who are you talking about, and what's he been telling you?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Q, the resident "deity". Trying to dance around the subject of nemeses and paradoxes.

[justunlikely.livejournal.com]

. . . He shouldn't know anything about my TARDIS. I've never spoken with him.
