Oi! Is anyone out there?!

[Dear passengers of the Crucible, your spheres are suddenly showing a very angry, very ginger woman sitting glaring at her sphere with her arms crossed on her bed in the Kepler Cabins, how do you react? ... On second thoughts, don't answer that question, because you won't get a chance to react for a while yet.]Is there

[hi there, have a very, very, very, very shocked/speechless/surprised/flummoxed/etc Time Lord! he hasn't seen her face in well over a year and the last words she said to him then didn't sound anything like that--or made his ears ring in the way she can when she shouts. and he vaguely wonders if he does that to people when he shouts as well, but that's something to ponder later.

so excuse him if he just stares for a bit, mouth gaping like a fish as he tries to form words--but honestly has no idea where to even start.]

[shoutsforearth]

[oh, she's been looking for you. excuse her for a moment while she ignores that goldfish look to yell at you]

Doctor! There you are! What's going on? What happened to the TARDIS? We didn't crash in the middle of a prison, did we? I mean, even you're not that careless to crash us into a prison!

[bit_impossible]

[sorry, still speechless. all motor function has ceased; reset in progress.]

[shoutsforearth]

[... okay, that's weird. Not entirely unwelcome, but. Weird.]

What's the matter with you?

[bit_impossible]

[is slowly finding his voice and wondering if he accidentally went to see that anomalous window again--but considering his nightmares were far more horrific. then he begins to wonder if the forest he's in has hallucinatory properties--he did lick a statue earlier, after all.]

Donna...is that really you?

[shoutsforearth]

Well, who else would it be?

[bit_impossible]

I, well, I just--you know...

[shoutsforearth]

[looking at him expectantly :|]

[bit_impossible]

[sighs, rubbing his temples with both hands, quickly coming up with something to say.]

Well...you did just say you were going to kill me. Not that I thought you would, of course. Oh no, far from it. Probably just shout my ears off for bringing you here--which I didn't, by the way, this isn't my fault at all this time.

And no, I didn't crash us into a prison--alien, human, or other! [sounds insulted at the very notion! ...but perhaps there's a tiny hint of a smile on his lips.]

[shoutsforearth]

[That's more like it! Not that she completely buys that, but she'll let it slide for now.]

Alright, so then how did we get here?

[bit_impossible]

[he just might be running back toward the lift now--he has to see her with his own eyes.]

Would you believe that I haven't the slightest idea?

[shoutsforearth]

What, nothing at all? That's not like you. I mean, something must have put us here because one moment I was on the TARDIS, right, and then when I woke up I was wherever this place is.

[bit_impossible]

...Where were we going in the TARDIS? What'd we just finish doing?

[safely stows his bow in a pile of leaves near the lift entrance and hops in]

[shoutsforearth]

What, you mean you don't remember?

[bit_impossible]

[oh, he remembers all right...]

My memory's a bit foggy. I arrived here long before you did.

[shoutsforearth]

How did that happen?
