New city, new faces, new problems to face. It looks like new people showing up isn’t as uncommon as should be normal so I’m not gonna dwell on that bit.
Anyone know anything else about this ‘Core’ that pulled us here? Anything that isn’t in the standard welcome-pamphlet, I mean? Juicy details, corruptive rumors, gossip; anything will do. How’s the

Yes.

In the 1960s.

Never hurts to ask. People collect vintage stuff, still, don't they?

Certainly not giant blue police boxes.

Why would you need one?

[yousaidblue]

You'd be surprised what people fancy.

Just curious. Been looking for one for a while now.

[ There's something oddly familiar about all of this. Very oddly familiar. After all, most people don't just ask for a blue police box from the mid-twentieth century unless they're asking for him. And most people don't ask about the night sky either. But the problem is... who is this? How does he know them?

He switches on the video feed, momentarily ignoring his responsibilities as a Greeter.

Funny how he does that. ]

I misplaced mine. Or rather, I didn't misplace her, so much as she's not blue anymore. Sort of. It's complicated.

[That ... Was actually one of the responses she was looking for, if not exactly worded as such. But this is certainly not who she was looking for. Or ... Is it?]

Not blue anymore? I've never heard of a police box that wasn't blue. A very nice shade of blue, too.

The most beautiful blue in all of space and time. But not right now. She's here, but she's in a... human-y sort of form. Or rather her essence is in a human-y form but her body's... somewhere else.

[ it doesn't sit well with him at all. ]

Now the question I should be asking is why are you looking for the TARDIS?

[It's him alright. Even if it weren't glaringly obvious, he just had this ... air about him. But she didn't know this face, had never even heard of it. He'd always been older before, hadn't he? Never younger, never this young and--]

She's human? But that's impossible. She's--|

[Maybe he was from the future. But then this would be crossing a timestream from his past, wouldn't it? It's hopeful to know that he has a future, but then she'd still be with him, wouldn't she? That's what she came back for, after all.]

... Crossing timelines is a dangerous business, someone told me once. Think it might have been you, actually. Long time ago.

Unusual by which standards?

[text]

[yousaidblue]

Good question. Regular human life in a regular Earth city. Specific enough?

[text]

[antedupmyheart]

Ah, but what if the only experience I've known on a world by the name of Earth - or rather, a contemporary Earth - is what I've seen here? Hardly a fitting basis for comparison, would you not say?

[text]

[yousaidblue]

I would. I wasn't expecting everyone to know, but usually Earth, 21st century Earth at least, tends to be populated by locals. I'm guessing this "newcomer" stint isn't a recent thing, then?

Most people don't get a good look at the night sky. If they're out after sirens they're too busy fighting their way through the monsters.

I haven't seen a thing like that. Everything here is pretty much par for the course, 21st Century style.

That bad, huh? Even from windows? I suppose you wouldn't want to look outside if the streets are crawling with creatures, though.

That's alright. I've seen them pop up in random places from time to time before, so it couldn't hurt to ask.

Maybe you should've read your pamphlet more carefully. Everything has to be completely sealed off from the outside, otherwise the darkness creeps in and ages and corrupts all the materials it touches. Worse than that, any weakness to a structure and the monsters could break in.

[yousaidblue]

Didn't know that included windows. I thought maybe they would have already been reinforced, so thanks for clarifying.

[youandoblivion]

[Oh, this is fascinating. Someone who not only seems to know what they're talking about, but asks curious questions too.]

Hmm. Interesting.

[yousaidblue]

What is?

[youandoblivion]

Oh, just the questions. You sound like someone who's seen this kind of thing before.

[yousaidblue]

Maybe not this place exactly, but ending up in worlds I'm not familiar with? It's happened before.
