*stops by and is let in wearing what he always wears because 1.He's the Doctor and can charm his way into anywhere, and 2. The door supervisors aren't actually convinced he's NOT in a costume as some geeky professor or something* *dances a bit to the music and looks distracted*

*is eager to meet new people on this crazy mixed up planet. And if this man is in costume, which she doubts, she's curious to know what as. She wanders over to him*

Pardon me, but I'm rather curious as to who, or what, you've come as...

[bowties_r_cool]

*big smile* Joan! *takes her hand and shakes then tilts his head* Oh wait. You won't recognize me.

[was_she_happy]

*looks a little surprised, but smiles confused looking as if she's trying to place his face.*

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't.

[bowties_r_cool]

*looks around then points out 10* I think you'll remember me looking like that. I've had...um...a makeover...so to speak.

[was_she_happy]

*turning to see where he's pointing, she spots Ten. She's managed to not even get a glance at him for the time she's been on Ophara and now when she finally does see him, as if seeing Ten wasn't hard enough, he's dressed like that. Her voice catches in her throat just slightly, her hand grips her broom a little tighter. She thought she would be a little more ready than this.*

Oh.

*takes a breath before turning back to Eleven and giving a smile*

Martha mentioned there were a few of you here. I'm still not sure I entirely understand what she meant by that.

[bowties_r_cool]

*smiles slightly though a little sadly* Ah, well....you can't go around doing what I do without consequences. My species...has the ability to....prolong my consciousness when my body dies by...regenerating a new body. *glances at 10* I....gave that one up...for a friend. Still,t his one isn't so bad. Perhaps not quite as handsome. But well, better than some of my others.

[was_she_happy]

That's remarkable... You still look human enough. Do you always?

[bowties_r_cool]

*nods a bit* My species...looks human. Or rather, humans look like my species. We've got some differences but...they're not immediately obvious usually. So...Joan. Joooooan. How are you, Joan? You know, I met one of your...you know what? Nevermind. I'm not allowed to talk about things. Well, I'm not supposed to, anyway. But yes, well. Jooooan, how are you?

[was_she_happy]

*She finds herself more charmed than irritated by the way he's drawing out her name. Silly. Perhaps it's easier than looking at John's face and hearing John's voice.*

Well, Doctor. Well as can be expected for having been magically transported to another planet because of a man I met very briefly six months ago. It's... *smiles a little* It has been eye opening to say the least. Difficult. Stressful. Exhilarating. I've made the strangest of friends...

[bowties_r_cool]

*laughs slightly and pushes his hair out of his face looking slightly sheepish* I...think you'll find that's what most people who've met me say of the experience. It's...not as though I try. I just...well, I don't know. *looks around* If...it's any...consolation...you'll...probably find that many of the people here seem to have one thing in common. Me. I don't know why they've been brought here. I don't know why I'm here, to be honest. I'm not meant to share a timeline with myself. But, well, there are three of me in this room. *pauses a moment* By the way, lovely costume.

[was_she_happy]

Oh, no, Doctor, I don't blame you. Not for this. It was frightening, at first, but... If we are stuck here, well, better the devil you know, isn't it?

Thank you. To be honest I'm not keen on the red, but everything else was so... revealing. You still haven't mentioned yours.

[bowties_r_cool]

Well, we're not stuck here. I can...take you home in an instant. Well, provided I can get the TARDIS to...get to the right place and time. But...everyone seems to be pulled here. I don't know why. *smiles a little* Oh...this is what I always wear. It's um...comfortable. Warm. And well, everyone likes a bowtie, right? *straightens his bowtie*

[was_she_happy]

You look quiet nice in one. *is curious at the mention of not being stuck here, though having settled in, doesn't find it too imperative to leave* Hmm. I suppose Martha was mistaken then. Glad to hear those who would want to return home could. Your other self managed a costume. Are you against fancy dress, Doctor?

[bowties_r_cool]

Not necessarily. I just...well, not a huge amount of people here know who I am. I don't want their first impressions of me being in a....dinosaur costume or something. *chuckles, blushing just slightly for sounding a bit vain* *furrows his brow* Martha must be..remarkably uninformed. There's also a gateway here...run by a ...friend straight to Earth. Though...it is to...the 21st century...and to Cardiff. But we've-I mean..myself- all got our TARDISes and if I'm not mistaken several other Time Lords here with their own TARDISes.

[was_she_happy]

Other Time Lords from Gallifrey? Interesting. I haven't met any yet. Or at least none mentioned what they were. Martha did seem... different. I thought it was because of me, at first. But she seemed bitter, I suppose.
