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.

Pssh. Who can't create pocket universes? Lame.

[But, since he did actually reply for something uncharacteristically close to an actual valid reason:]

Wouldn't get your hopes up, pal. I oughtta be able to bust us outta here, and I'm not the only one or the most powerful here who could tick that box, and... well, we're all still here. Don't let me rain on your parade, but, uh, don't throw that parade on a cloudy day and expect to stay dry, either.

[...this might have gone better if he hadn't stretched that metaphor so far, but whatever.]

Take whatever you need, darling. Anything to have you visiting my kitchen.

And do ignore, Pendragon.

Is it just me or are there a whole lot more people going missing these last few days?

[ He's been hearing the same thing from various people - one or two folks missing, no idea where they went - and the numbers are starting to add up, fast ]

There are at least five others I've heard of. There may be more.

[She learned how to do that finally. She's proud.]

Okay, pocket universe. I can deal with that. Not the first one I've been in. As long as this one doesn't spit me out in Japan, or create yet another weird St. Croix amalgam, we're good.

Now; is there anything I can help with? Up to and including keeping the tea flowing, because, let's be honest, I'm here to blow things up and make tea.
thelittlestbub: (BOOM)

[personal profile] thelittlestbub 2013-05-02 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Not so much on the fascinating... well, okay, the St. Croix one was freakin' hilarious because of Elwood, but the Japan one not so much.

[She likes blowing things up! It's what she's bestest at!]

Just tell me where to show up and when.

Get us out to where? Are we going to be marooned on Earth?

Oi! I said we were in a pocket universe. Don't go stealing all the credit, Spaceman.

[ Way to miss the point, Donna. Always picking up on the little things. ]

I'm Dilandau Albatou. I'm from Gaia, not Earth, and if you know my world exists you're doing better than anyone else I've spoken to here.

What's your name, Sorcerer?

It's a bit difficult to come up with a pet name for someone who's name is a title.

Uhh...

[She stops for a minute.]

No. I used to, but then things happened, and oops, more powerful than thought, but... sorry.

Don't suppose there's any point in looking for those missing? Or are they always... [She makes a vague motion with her hand.] ...snatched?

If you had to assign a probability to how likely it is that you'd be able to get us out of here, what would it be?

I'm impressed.

I agree it's likely to be a pocket universe. I'm not sure the where matters as much as the how, though. There are people here, like Loki there, who should be able to get out and can't. Which implies some kind of binding...something. Sigils. A forcefield. Who knows?

I'd look, but I can't seem to get as far out as I'd like.

But setting that all aside for the moment, if we were on earth, in the area your calculations suggests, should we be preparing for storms? A cold season? With the food situation so uncertain, one can't help but wonder.

I suspected from the get-go that this was a pocket dimension, but it's hard to say. It really could just be an alternate reality.

Mind you, the ability to trap someone that has the ability to create a pocket dimension or travel through reality is perhaps more worrisome than the fact that we're here. [There's a moment of silence, the sound of fabric shifting, close to the speaker.] You remind me of someone.
