[ The Doctor is at the console of the TARDIS, as always, working on his ship. As always. Except today the doors are open, revealing the backdrop of a very gorgeous nebula. The TARDIS is humming as well, giving the feeling that nothing is wrong. Or at least, not in a panic sort of wrong. The Doctor has discarded his tweet jacket over the railing and

[ Amy came down to bother the Doctor, but the sight of the TARDIS doors open and the nebula caught her attention. She leaned against the door jam to watch it. ]

How can you ignore a view like this?

[thatoldthatkind]

[ That question caught him by surprise. He looked up from the console, twirling around to look at Amy and the door. What? Oh! The Doctor grabbed a towel he had as he cleaned off his hands, moving up behind her to look out the doors.

He looked at her then at the nebula, then back to her. ]

What do you see, Amy?

[canberewritten]

[ She glanced out of the corner of her eyes to look at him before putting her attention back on the nebula. ]

It's sad and beautiful. Bit of a contradiction, yeah?

[thatoldthatkind]

Not at all. Something can be sad and gorgeous at the same time. What makes it sad?

[Rory tries very hard not to wander the TARDIS but it sort of gets to the point where he has to because he's as curious as Amy is sometimes and he likes knowing where things are. It's a Rory thing.

He eventually finds himself at the console room and then, at the door, because it is a gorgeous view and he'd have to be dead not to appreciate it.]

Woah. [And then, because someone does not know about pockets.] Doctor, shouldn't we be sucked out to our soundless doom about now?

[thatoldthatkind]

[ The Doctor glances up at Rory, at the doors, then at Rory, and finally back to the console. ]

Rory. You determined that the TARDIS is an actual dimension within itself, but you didn't bother learning about air shields? Extended ones at that! We'll be fine.

[thenurseboy]

Science fiction is very conflicting you know, and it all gets a bit - [Hand wave] When you spend days reading nothing but.

The Leadworth library doesn't exactly have a wide range anyway, and they were all mostly checked out by the old man who ran the sweet shop and wouldn't sell flying saucers because they were really alien.

[thatoldthatkind]

[ That makes him stop and stare at Rory. Why is it the more he hears about Leadworth, the weirder it is? It's supposed to be a small tiny town of... boring! ]

That's what Amazon is for. You have Amazon in your century, don't you?

[forgothertime]

Oi, Spaceman! Where do you keep your Earl Grey? [And up strolls Donna Noble, tea kettle in hand.] Do you even go in any of the kitchens? I thought I saw a space mouse the size of my flippin' hand when I was searching for the kettle.

[thatoldthatkind]

Donna. What is the point in having a kitchen when I've got all of time and space to grab a bite from? [ Honestly, he has no idea where the kitchens ended up in the remodel. ]

[forgothertime]

[She gives him the look.] Is that Time Lord for 'I don't know where the bloody kitchen is'?

[thatoldthatkind]

It's Time Lord for 'I don't need a kitchen when I've got a space fast food chain to stop at'! [ He taps her nose before turning back to the console. Yeah, he has no idea where it is. ]

[rideseveryone]

[A door in the back of the TARDIS opens, and a newcomer walks out.

It's probably safe to say there wasn't always that photo studio inside the TARDIS.]

So, whose world is it this time?

[thatoldthatkind]

[ The Doctor looks up, then around then back at the guy who just waltzed in. ]

[rideseveryone]

[The guy raises the camera around his neck and takes a picture.]

... Is this some movie set?

[thatoldthatkind]

Do you see any cameras? No, obviously not, because there are no cameras! Besides the one you have in your hands. How did you get inside the TARDIS? Who are you? No, sorry, the how is more important.

[ wakes up, rubbing his head -- what the hell... He stands up from where he's been lying down ]

Hello? Knocking me out is not a solution for insomnia.

[ Oh - hi there, Nebula. ]

[thatoldthatkind]

[ WILL--WHO THE DOCTOR DOES NOT KNOW ALSJFASFA. ]

[ The Doctor looks over at Will, then does a twirl around where he's standing. Open TARDIS doors, but the man doesn't have a space suit... ]

Insomnia? Knocking you out? What?

[stillprotege]

[ Well, you're not familiar. Eyes are darting around the TARDIS now.]

It would explain the head --

What is this place?

[thatoldthatkind]

The TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. Who are you? Not to mention you didn't answer my questions. Bit rude, come storming into my ship and don't answer anything that I ask.
