the Doctor | 004 | Day 67 | Video

[The video clicks on and there's the Doctor, brainy specs in place, sitting in the kitchen of his house. Behind him was the kitchen table, but not useable as various disassembled toasters, radios, and even an oven could be seen on the floor. Parts were everywhere and had looked like a tornado had blown through.

Stacked to one side of the wall were some books, next to his hand was his notebook, full with stuffed papers in it. He looks stern, quiet, serious, perhaps brewing an oncoming storm?]


It's been four days since this curse-thing has been over. I haven't seen Sharon... or Natasha, [There's a pause, because sad enough as it is, he wasn't entirely sure that was her name.] There's significantly less traffic around town, which leads me to guess others are missing too.

This may seem ridiculous that I'm saying this, but don't travel alone, don't be alone, [Ignore the fact that he was currently.], let others know if you're going somewhere. Use the buddy-system if you have to.

[There's a pause as he looks away, licking his lips.] I've been doing research, as most of you are aware, and after running the calculations 3-4 times, my evidence is conclusive. If this is Earth, which I'm not for certain if it is yet or not, I must admit... We're in the northern hemisphere, judging by the weather patterns and the sun's movements in the sky. The winds... Westerlies, marking us at about 30-60 degrees latitude. Of course, this is all based off of if we're on Earth.

This leads me to my next hypothesis, which a couple of you have already thrown out there - bravo! Good for you! - I think we're in a pocket universe. Time doesn't flow linear, it never had, it's all... wibbly-wobbly, of course, but the star charts aren't quite right, which doesn't make sense at all if this is, in fact, Earth. I said Northern hemisphere, but if you look up at the sky, the charts don't match that correctly. It's a blend... I can't locate us due to that. And with so many people coming from other worlds, universes, alternative timelines, it's making this all rather strange. I know very few species capable of this feat, which... [He trails off, not wanting to think who has this kind of power and technology they possess. Enough to rival his own TARDIS, that is for sure.]

There's a chance I can get us out, but it'll take time. If there's any tools, scraps lying about, unused appliances, radios... I'd like to have those, please.



[Private to Fortescue]
You said you wanted to help? Find me all the tools you can.

[Private to Mina]
If you don't mind, may I take your kitchen appliances? Not to be blunt, but it isn't like you need them. But keep the kettle... I like making tea there when I visit you. I'll give you a hot plate.

So you forget you have them from time-to-time? [That's what she's taking away from this.]

A pleasure to meet you, Doc. [You can hear the grin in her voice.]

You're a cheerful one, aren't you, Doctor?

If you've got a practical way to get out I'll lend you my aid. I'm no Sorcerer, but I know the basics of guymelef repair and I can guard whatever machine you're making.

[ Don't bring logic into things, Doctor! ]

I could say that the Donna Noble in the notes is my Nan or sommat. Timey wimey, Doctor! Plus I'd be rich so it wouldn't really matter if people thought I was old.

I'm not the one who was upset.

[Well. Maybe a little when he bugged out...]

You're the brains, the Doctor. I'll follow your lead. I'm just here for tea and explosions.

[It is indeed that bloke! And he recognizes the Doctor, as well, although he's more interested in the discussion just now than asking him if he's enjoying being back to his normal species.]

I'm probably the least powerful of my kind here, unfortunately. The scope of my knowledge and skill is limited. I've spoken with others, though, and none of the ones I've discussed this with can feel beyond the borders we can walk to.

Moreover, the boundaries extend skyward and below the ground. I imagine trying to fly would be futile, as would trying to dig out through the earth. I can't tell you much more than that, because I just can't...sense it. It's very frustrating.

So, I can't leave because I can't find a location outside of this place, more or less.

[Logan wasn't so sure, but only because he'd searched and searched for something that linked them, somewhere, anywhere, but had continuously ended up with as much information as he'd started with in the beginning.

Hell. He was still searching the woods for Laura; it had become something of an unhealthy habit of his, but he couldn't give in to the idea that she was gone and somewhere he couldn't help her.]


That gal, the one who'd been workin' for 'em, who turned and went live on the network. She said they hadn't been sent back home.

[He gives the camera a dark glare when the Doctor mentions his plan.] We can't leave 'em here. 'Hopin' for the best' is bull shit.

[He takes a moment to get his temper in check and figure out what he wants to say minus the profanities.] I realize that some people just wanna get outta here. An' that's fine. But some of us have... have very close ties to the missing.

We don't even know what they're doing to them...

Sounds boring. What am I, your math teacher?

[Honestly, the Doctor probably shouldn't trust Gabriel. There's nothing dangerous about it (not at the moment, at least) but even when he's not being malevolent he's not necessarily very trusworthy.]

But hey. Guess I've not got a lot else to do, so hey. Might as well.

Even the best artist can have a shaky hand sometimes. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

I suppose I should put on some trousers.

You think whoever's got us trapped here had something to do with that? Getting rid of your memories somehow, maybe?

[Come on, if you can't be ginger - at least be rude. Fortescue gives him a mock-salute, grinning just a little.]

Aye-aye, sir. And where do I deliver my cargo?
primogen_vampirate: (Happy)

[personal profile] primogen_vampirate 2013-05-04 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no?

[A playful eyebrow raise.]

You can be quite inconsistent, Doctor.

Course not, dummy. You buy shoes!
