Hello there! Anybody home? Quite a curious place you've got here, and not a proper welcome in sight. I've always found waking up in a hospital bed to be rather unsettling, don't you agree? And those silly clothes they give you - hardly enough to cover up with

[ holovid ] WELL YOU'RE GONNA TALK TO YOURSELF ANYWAY.

[keeps_traveling]

[Surprise! Have a good old holographic projection of your past self.]

They're quite useful, aren't they? Much better than those journals they used to have here... though they were really quite genius too. Never figured out how those worked... hm. Oh well.

Oh yes! You're in the lovely city of Aliunde. It really is a very lovely city... can't say much about its... head-figure... but all-in-all, it really is quite nice. [A beat.] Well. If you don't count the rather strange occurrences from time to time.

[audio → holovid] IT'S THEIR FAVORITE PASTIME.

[spacehipster]

Would you look at that!

[And he's staring at the projection in amazement for a while, don't mind the silence.]

These can do holograms! How marvelous.

[Oh yeah, and his past self is talking to him on a tiny communicator on an alien planet, but let's just turn the holovid on for now and deal with that headache later. Eleven's grinning as he pops up.]

It does look quite lovely, but looks can be deceiving. More often than not, really. And strange occurrences, you say? I'm something of an expert on those - would you mind elaborating?

[ holovid forever~ ] CLEARLY. At least now it won't look so strange? xD

[keeps_traveling]

Yes, yes. It can do holograms. It's really quite handy. Reception fades in an out sometimes... but! That can be fixed. [Bam! Blue sonic screwdriver points outwards with that familiar buzzing sound.]

As am I. [He quirks a brow at him curiously. Derp, Ten. You have no clue.] Seems like the doctors here fancy running experiments on its citizens... or test subjects. Sounds like the better term. At least, that's what I've come to believe. [And the next is more mumbled to himself but... well, pretty sure that Eleven can hear it.] It's one, huge, paradox if you ask me.

[holovid to infinity and beyond!] I dunno, they're a pretty strange-looking duo. xD

[spacehipster]

Can it now? [Would you look at that, his old screwdriver. Such nostalgia and it wasn't even that long ago.] Curious device you have there.

[Poor Ten, Eleven seems quite content to keep certain things to himself for a while.] Experiments? Ah, so is that why we've been brought here. Clever, getting a bunch of people who have no connection to each other or this planet to use as guinea pigs. Hm? A paradox in what way?

[sexyoldgirl]

[That's definitely a familiar voice. Though with time all wrong here she can't even begin to tell if he'll know her like this. So here she is, sitting on what looks to be a bed. Her expression a cross between excitement and curiosity.]

You do have a tendency to go on if no one interrupts.

[video]

[spacehipster]

[At first, he doesn't know what to do, just stares at his screen. This couldn't possibly be real. But then again, he just talked to his previous self, so really he wasn't in any position to be doubtful at the moment. Finally, he hits the "video" button and blurts out the first thing to come to his mind.]

Sexy!

[video]

[sexyoldgirl]

[Ah, so he does know her! That's definitely a relief seeing as how she had to convince both Ten and the Master who she was since arriving here. Have a big smile from the old girl.]

Doctor. Welcome to Aliunde - world of wrongness.

[video]

[spacehipster]

[He's smiling back, as giddy as a child.]

Oh, how can this world be wrong when you're here! And I can talk to you again! And you're - you've got -

[So excited that he apparently can't even finish his sentences.]

[superiorlogic]

You're from the same world as the Doctor, if I'm not mistaken. Curious.

It does seem that more than one person is being taken from each of their respective worlds.

SH

[audio]

[spacehipster]

Hm, and what makes you say that?

But yes, from what I've gathered from my brief stint here, that does seem to be the case.

"SH"... Now what does that stand for, if you don't mind me asking?

Text forever

[superiorlogic]

There are many reasons, most obvious being your speech pattern. Almost like you are him.

Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective.

SH

[audio]

[spacehipster]

Sherlock Holmes, really. THE Sherlock Holmes? [Don't mind his excitement, you must get this a lot. He's not even surprised that he's talking to a famous literary character.] In that case, I'm not as impressed anymore that you could tell we were from the same place. [He laughs.] Do you know the Doctor well?

[ text ]

[noblexcompanion]

Blimey, seems the doctors have been busy bringing new people here. Welcome to Aliunde. Or Hell. Either way, welcome.

I'm Donna. I don't know much about this place, other than it is completely bonkers and probably run by insane alien doctors, but if I can help in anyway, I will.

[audio]

[spacehipster]

[Oh, Donna, how he's missed you. He's already been warned about her...problem, but luckily he has the added protection of a new face.]

Donna, charming name! I knew a Donna once, ooh, she was something else. Thanks for the welcome, as unnerving as it was. It's a pleasure to meet you! My name's Smith, Jo -

[He stops, realizing that Ten's probably already used that name, sneaky bugger. He coughs awkwardly.]

Matt. Matt Smith. Anyway, insane alien doctors, you say? Do tell.

[ audio ]

[noblexcompanion]

[ Well, if careless Tim Lords will lave their spare hands in jars lying around on the floor of a burning TARDIS then bad things are going to happen. ]

Nice to meet you, Matt. Any relation to John Smith? Looks a bit like a hedgehog. On speed. ...Probably not, y'know, with it being one of the most common surnames in the world...

Well... I don't know if they are insane alien doctors. But they're doctors, who do experiments, on a giant terraformed planet. So I bet they're aliens. Or just mad.

Or maybe I'm just mad and this is all in my head... [ Sob. Even through text she can still ramble. ]

[ audio ]

[spacehipster]

[Hey, we can't keep our eye on everything, we're very busy.]

John Smith, no, I don't think - Oh, I know who you're talking about! Met him a little while earlier, nice chap. A bit chatty but hey, aren't we all.

Oh, if this is a dream it's a very convincing one. And I doubt it'd be all in your mind [as magnificent as it is] so no worries there. Tell me more about these experiments, though. What kinds of experiments?

[redhairedrabbit]

Welcome to Aliunde! It's a place that looks nice but kinda sucks.

[spacehipster]

Yes, I've noticed that's sort of a theme with a lot of the places I go. Care to elaborate any?

[redhairedrabbit]

We're here against our will and...hmm..the lady in charge just took a bunch of important stuff from people.

[spacehipster]

Important stuff? For keeps? Now why would she do that.
