[peers into the sphere, poking it] Okay...can everybody hear me? I'm going to try to sound like less of a nutter this time!

[takes a step back, sitting on his bed] Anyway...I get the impression there are a lot more people on the ship now than there were. Which is cool, although kinda disturbing. But if you don't know, I'm Oliver Day, nice to

Discrepancies?

[oliverplus]

Like...time passed between when they got here and when you got here. And I don't mean the normal, "Oh, we arrived a few days apart." I'm talking arriving years before someone else--even if you woke up on the ship days later.

[redpaperfan]

Hn. No; I've heard people not recognize each other, despite the insistence of another party. For personal experience, I have none.

[oliverplus]

Not recognizing each other sounds like the same sort of thing...hm. Thanks for the info! What's your name, by the way?

[nopushover]

Whose this Doctor I keep hearing about?

[oliverplus]

You should meet him! He's an amazing man--bit hard to describe, though. Rather like a hyperactive genius. Like...Tigger and Owl spliced together.

[shakes his head, laughing at himself] I can't believe I just made that comparison...

But trust me, you'll know him if you meet him! He's going to be our ticket out of here; I know it.

[nopushover]

Tigger and Owl? Is that even possible? I couldn't see that at all. And I doubt either would be very happy...

Oh, does he have a working gummi then?

[oliverplus]

...wait, you know who Tigger and Owl are? Where are you from? And when, since I've never heard of a gummi before. What's that?

[conniving_flame]

Well, I've met two of the same person... either that or they're secretly brothers who never met each other.

And there's a war going on that I didn't know about, considering it takes two years in my future. That enough of a discrepancy for you?

[oliverplus]

Two of the... [sits back, staring] Wow. That doesn't sound good at all. I'm gonna have to talk to the Doctor about that.

And two years is exactly what I mean! Except... [grins, shaking his head] Sorry, your discrepancy's a bit small! But... [frowns, growing serious] Sorry to hear about the war.

[conniving_flame]

Well, not exactly the same. One's older and the other... [appears thoughtful] Heh. He doesn't know the things he should.

[waves off the apology] Nothing to do about it now.

[oliverplus]

You mean...like he's from his own past? This just gets weirder by the minute! But if someone's already met himself and the universe hasn't blown up, I guess that's a good sign.

[dawnward]

You know the Doctor?

[oliverplus]

I do! I would say pretty well, but the Doctor here isn't quite the same. Have you met him, then?

[dawnward]

Yes, I've met him. Do you know the TARDIS, too?

[oliverplus]

Definitely! I've traveled with them before. Was there something you needed from one of them?
