Sticky. That's the first thing he feels when he steps out of the TARDIS. Stickyness under his feet. It wasn't so sticky at first, just cushy. Now it's sticky

When Usagi found out there was a Candyland here she was all over that. But that was a while ago, and now she's wandering around lost, and even though she has a sucker to suck on, she's starting to regret coming here.
She notices somebody though, and starts to walk over to him. The closer she gets though... she screams. There are things attacking that man!
"Youma!" she shrieks. There aren't supposed to be youma here! Just people and fairies and birthday parties.
"Ah!" He shouts, hearing the young woman shriek. "No no! They're not youma! I promise. They're simply people... Delicious... squishy jelly baby people- oh do stop that!"
"But Doctor, your acts within the Land of Fiction are legendary!"
"Oh... oh I knew this was familiar-" he groans, putting his hands over his face, scrubs at it. His head was aching from being jostled around a disturbance in the vortex, and from falling against the console in the midst of it. That must have been why.
He shakes off one his leg. Then the other. "Very well! I am complimented by your interest! Please, to do more great things I require my legs! I am a biped after all and it's inconvenient, though not impossible, but inconvenient without them! Slows one up a tad."
"They're not youma?" Usagi breathes a sigh of relief. "I thought, maybe I'd need to -- er, well it's a good thing they're not youma." It occurs to Usagi that she is still holding her transformation brooch in her hand, so she (as nonchalantly as possible) pins it back to the bow on her shirt.
She stares at the candy monster people for a moment, selfishly glad they're climbing all over this person and not her, and not so selfishly glad they're just candy people instead of candy monster people. "So you've been here before?" And that's why they're attacking you? "Or... are you from here and just legendary?"
He doesn't really notice the brooch. Perhaps he ought, but when he's busy convincing wee little sweety people to stop fawning over him it's a bit more difficult.
"I believe I've been here before. I've had a bit of trouble with memory in the past." Thanks to the knock and partially thanks to the Rani, but no need for a young lost looking stranger to get mixed up in all of that. He shoos at the jelly baby people, and starts making his way to Usagi through the frosting grass. "Are you alright? You don't seem to be from here? I hope a time storm wasn't responsible."
(( OOC: Oops, sorry for the delayed reply... I forgot I hadn't replied yet. ^^; Which isn't really much of an excuse, but there you have it.))
"I'm not from here," Usagi replies. "I'm from Tokyo. The Azabu-Juban district, actually." There is just a touch of sadness in her words. She misses home. "Oh, but I that's not where I was right before I came here, we were all on a vacation to Kaguya Island."
Not that it matters much now, she figures. Nobody so far has known why or how she is here, which means there's not much chance of going home any time soon. Instead of dwelling on that though, she decides to puzzle over the last thing he said.
"A time storm? There can be storms of time?" Setsuna would probably know all about that, Usagi thinks, but she's not here.
"Those occasionally happen," he says to the young woman, offering her a hand to help her get over to the gingerbread road. Also to give her support, because she seems unfortunately lost and frightened. He had a soft spot for those sorts of young girls. Inevitably reminding him of Susan in some way.
"They're quite frequent, but it's not often that someone gets caught up in one. They usually occur in empty space. Perhaps with some luck we'll be able to get you home."
"I hope so," she says. "It would be nice to get back to all of my friends." But she's made some friends here, too, so it's not as terrible as it could be. She's certainly been through worse, that's for sure. And from the way things look now, she's just made another friend.
It wouldn't be right though to stay here, regardless of the friends she's made. Once there's a way to get back home, and after she's made sure everyone else who needs to go back home is able, she plans on leaving herself. She's a senshi, and more importantly she's going to marry Mamo-chan, so staying here definitely isn't an option. And if the first step in that is to figure out how she got here, well, then she'd simply have to put her mind to it! Right? Right.
Which... will probably be harder than she would like, but if it means getting back home to everybody Usagi is definitely going to try her hardest. "So, if time was storming like you said," she begins slowly, stepping over a particularly large bit of frosting grass, and being extra careful so she

"Unfortunately it can take people into the future, and it can make things worse," he confirms. "Though as I mentioned, it's rare. Easy enough to fix, and luckily for you the TARDIS ought to know where both of those places are. But first, I need to figure out where here is. One has a great difficulty in finding point B when point A is still a bit hither, tither, nor there."
In short, he wanted to have a look around first. Somewhere here, he was sure of it, was a place with civilization. Oh, if only he could recall how all of this worked! Everything would be so much easier.
