First Trip [Video]

[Here's someone new to the city. He's skinny, fairly handsome, not ginger... and wearing 3-D glasses for god knows what reason. And the look of confusion on his face isn't making him look any less goofy right now. But then everyone knows that Adstring is a veritable symphony of time-space shenanigans... and they've got The Doctor completely ( Read more... )

2/2 [action] And yes, I had to do this. soundsofdrums June 21 2011, 23:26:26 UTC
[The Master could sense him the moment he arrived. In his mind, and even his scent. It was almost jarring, but the most pleasant surprise that he could think of. He's grinning almost wildly now, standing in the rain, not even caring about getting his favorite suit soaked through. He'd fired off the coordinates to the Doctor along with a name he hadn't used in a very long time.

Now, he waited. Patience.

Better make sure that his fellow Time Lord knew where he was going, just in case. The Master picks up a pipe lying around nearby before glancing around. It's not long until he spots a large, metal storage drum laying on the ground. He picks it up, sets it upright, and gives it a look before banging it with the pipe.

One, two, three, four.

Again.

One. Two. Three. Four. One, two, three, four, onetwothreefour.]

[He was taking his time. Better to not go rushing in with a message like that being the first thing to reach him here. The urge to start running increases when he hears the banging.

So the Master was here too... which only made things more confusing, considering where he should be.

poker faced and moving with a deliberate stride, the Doctor rounded a corner to see his former friend standing there, banging on an old oil drum.]

...Well isn't this familiar.

[He tossed the pipe aside as soon as he caught sight of him. After weeks of waiting... There he was. Perfect, just so incredibly perfect.]

Doctor. I knew you'd show up here sooner than later.

You don't want to meet the Animus sir.

I'm fairly sure that I do, actually. You see, things like the big, nasty inter-dimensional mess that is this city happen to be a specialty of mine.

But the Animus are cruel and quite terribly mad.

[He grins, and makes a soft scoffing noise.]

Oh, that's nothing I haven't dealt with before. And I'm sure they'd be a bit more agreeable with someone who can offer advice on fixing this predicament we're in.

The wrong side of the void? [Now that's a new one.] Why does that sound so strangely accurate?

I think the Animus like it that way. But feel to ask them next time they decide to mock us over the network.

Because that's exactly where we are... more or less. There's this place here, off on it's own, and then back across the void where they should be sit the parallel universes this one was pieced together from

Well- I certainly hope they're still there.

[A pause. As weird as it may sound, that guys seems to know what he's talking about.] How do you know about this so well? ...Are you a scientist?

I can assure you that they are.

Not quite. You can call me The Doctor.

And that's good to hear, though I can't imagine that the situation is particularly good with the damage that this place must've caused.

What are you wearing?

[Video] molto_ten_e June 22 2011, 12:08:07 UTC
3-D glasses!

Well, not standard 3-D glasses. They make it easier to tell what's passed through the Void.

[He whips them off his face, examining them critically.]

Though that means just about everyone and everything here, I'm afraid.

[He has no idea what 3D glasses are anyway, but he's interested by that description.]

'Void'?

[Video] molto_ten_e June 24 2011, 15:00:23 UTC
Yes, the Void. As in the space between the various parallel versions of the universe. Dangerous place, though the "stuff" is mostly benign. Good thing too, considering it sticks to everything that passes through there!

... you seem awfully cheerful for someone that's just arrived here.

[And he seems slightly more cheerful still, hearing someone speaking the Queen's English.]

Well not much point in moping about now, is there? And I've seen worse.

[Ohh, you get a grin, Doctor.]

I like your sense of optimism. Not enough people have that particular trait here.

Welcome to Adstringendum!

Ahh, thank you my boy!

[He grins back.]

I don't believe I've caught your name yet.
