[The door to the TARDIS creaks open as the Doctor steps out, taking a deep breath]
Ancient Rome! [it’s a triumphant statement, said proudly as he turns to look at his companion, a wide grin on his face.

...except two things are wrong. His companion isn’t there…. And this isn’t where he’s supposed to be. Spinning back to face the empty street] … ( Read more... )

[Fakir looks accusingly at the tall blue box. He's certain that wasn't here the last time he came this way. He glances up and down it, but the box doesn't tell him much from the outside. But the door is temptingly ajar. He draws his sword, stands to one side so that he's not in the potential line of fire, and uses the tip of his sword to nudge the door completely open. No gunfire, no explosions, no ominous growls, good --

He peers into the open doorway. And then he just stares.]

[head popping up from behind the console, he's looking decidedly puzzled and muttering to himself] No sign of a struggle. [flipping switches as the machinery hums] And you being tempermental now... look at you, not a spot of damage, but there's no connection to the-

[cutting off as he notices Fakir, his expression surprised] Well, hullo! Where did you come from?

[He really wants a closer look at that machinery.]

I might ask you the same. [He sheathes his sword and steps warily into the room.]

Yes, right... that is the question, isn't it? Well, not where I've come from, exactly, because I'm well aware of that. As well as where I was planning on going. What I'm not quite sure of is how I ended up here instead... and lacking a companion, it seems.

I don't suppose you've seen her? [holding up a hand] A woman about yay-high, firy hair and a brilliant set of lungs on her? She'd be rather hard to miss, I'd think, though I appear to be doing exactly that.

[Have a curious lion cub, Doctor! He was just exploring, occasionally calling for his parents, Nala, Uncle Scar--even Zazu--while amazed by how different this place looked from the Pridelands.

And then he sees the big strange animal that kinda reminds him of a monkey, going into a big blue object. What is that? Some kind of big rock, maybe?

Simba's coming over to check that out! Because it's oh so new to the lion prince's eyes.]

[It appears to be made out of wood. Rather boring wood, too, though it must have all number of interesting smells for a lion cub.

And, a few minutes later, the unusual animal is back, stepping out into the street with a frown as he shuts the door behind him.

...and stops as he sees Simba] Well, hullo! You seem a bit out of place. [crouching down] Can't say the last time I've seen a lion cub on a city street.

Well, actually, I can, but that involved an Anethan and a fire extinguisher and I don't imagine that has anything to do with right now.

[Out of place would be correct. Even if Doctor's crouched down, Simba still has to look up.]

..."City street"? What's that?

And what kind of monkey are you? [Trying to look a little bit past him] Where's your tail? And what's in that blue rock thing? [Although it doesn't really smell like a rock...]

[Gosh sooo many questions! Everything that's said and everything he sees is pretty much nothing like the African Savannah.]

So you talk! That does make things easier, doesn't it? [While the TARDIS didn't generally translate animal speech, it certainly wasn't the most unusual thing he'd ever seen. Instead, the cub gets a grin] Oh, I'm not a monkey. Different evolutionary track and all that. It's a bit confusing.

A city street is where we're at, I'm the Doctor, and that blue rock is actually my TARDIS. A ship, though you probably don't know what that is. Let's see. Mmm... It's something that carries me from place to place. Let's me get places I couldn't normally get to. Like- well, really I'm not sure what a lion would ride in so I'll get back to that.

Right.

Who might you be, then?

*He recognizes that voice from another Doctor he knows, so have a short redhead with tiny red angel wings and a cowboy hat popping in behind you. His footsteps are surprisingly quiet, considering he's wearing cowboy boots.* Damn, this place is bigger'n I thought.

[focused, focused, focused, staring at one of the screens on the console with a frown as he tries to make sense of the readings] Yes, quite. It's bigger on the inside. I do get that reaction quite a lot.

[wait a minute...

a pause as he glances up from the controls to see the boy there] Don't usually have unexpected visitors, though. Well, maybe one or two every now and again. Well...

Seems pretty damn convenient.

*He smiles a bit.* Figured you didn't just come from Luceti...I'm Gaignun Kukai Jr., I knew I guess you could call it another version of you or something like that. This' the TARDIS, right?

Very. I'm rather fond of it. And yes, it most certainly is!

Ah, no. I'm afraid I can't say I've been there. At least not yet. But it appears we've met! Gaignun Kukai Jr. A rather impressive name. Brilliant! I apologize if I'm not quite familiar. Time's a bit of an issue and I tend to get it a bit out of order now and again, but never mind. I'm guessing you already know that, if you know what she is. [a fond pat to the console]

*Interested Rin is curious! She sees the man run into the large blue box thing and decided to investigate.*

Hello! What are you doing in there?

[leaning over the railing, peering down the stairs below when he hears her.]

[Calling over his shoulder without actually turning around] Looking for my companion. I appear to have lost her. Troubling thing, that.

[whirling around with a smile, looking decidedly untroubled as he fixes his attention on the girl] And it appears I've gone and left the door open. Careless of me, but I was in a bit of a rush. Never mind that. Hullo!

*Looks around the TARDIS curiously. It is something she hadn't seen before, until she focuses on the doctor smiling*

I can see that! Um, where did you see your companion last?

Simba-mun heere, bringing you... <3 jakethetigerboy August 17 2010, 20:52:34 UTC
[No sign of hostile monsters. So far. No horrible smell of death, yet.

He was thinking about morphing the wolf, so he could get some distance in finding a way out of this city. Jake had to get out of his place. His friends needed him. And no doubt his family were worried sick.

And, yeah, there was the whole human race at stake too. However, that was along the bottom of his list of concerns. Can't save the world if the only Yeerk resistance force around are dead.

So, Jake's about to find someplace where no one would be watching him, someplace private to strip down to his tight t-shirt and bike shorts outfit--when he noticed the blue police box.

A police box? Never in his life did Jake expect to see one of those. Weren't those things, like, old?

He shakes his head. Again; this damned city doesn't make much sense. It'd be a breath of fresh air to get back to much less surreal world he knows.

Well, he'll be moving on now, about to walk past the police box.]
