[A small, somewhat hastily wrapped package with a card attached finds its way into your post box. The card says "Happy Birthday!" in bright, bold letters on top of a streamer and balloon filled background. The inside, however, contains quite a different message:]
Hello, sorry for the card choice; it was all I could find on short notice. (If it is your birthday, you may want to wait a day to finish reading this message. Really. Or at least until after cake and ice cream. Oh yes, and presents! Can't forget them!)
Anyway, I need your help, and let me tell you why.
Everyone who comes and goes to the Astral Plane is in danger. If you haven't noticed or been to the Plane in a bit, the Coliseum is very much active right now, and your friends could be one of the participants in a deathmatch. Yes, you read that correctly: a deathmatch. Those who receive letters of "invitation" to fight have absolutely no choice but to fight to the death on the appointed day of the match. And if you don't...well, both of you will die.
It could be you next, fighting a friend, lover, or enemy. Or perhaps you've already fought, to which I say that I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I couldn't help you sooner.
You see, I can't stop this on my own; not this time and not in this place. I really need your help. Everyone's. Everyone who cares for the people they've met on the Plane, and even those who simply don't wish to die. If your friends on the Plane don't have post boxes, contact them and find them somehow. They need to know what's happening here, as well.
The decision before you now, however, is yours and yours alone. Choose to help me and we can stop people from dying. Or simply choose to ignore this message and continue on with your life like it had never reached you.
If you do choose to help, meet inside the Plane's theatre and have a seat. I'll see you there.

PS: Don't take too long making your choice.
PPS: Meaning come as soon as you've decided--and don't dawdle!
[Upon opening the package, you will find a special watch he picked up in bulk on Migano Beta (a friend owed him a favour). The watch face blinks, switching from the time as it was when he first programmed the watch to a message that says "DONT FORGET" in block letters (instead of the date). There is a little note on the inside of the box that reads, "Bring this with you. You'll need it."]
[ooc: I'll be putting up an entry in a little bit so characters can meet with the Doctor, discuss things, and find out what the watch is for.]
