[ It's an unfamiliar site that you find yourself in tonight. An impossible room with different colors and glass floors, staircases that seem to go nowhere. At the center of the room is a column made of glass with panels filled with nonsense items: a typewriter, levers, hot and cold handles, even a phone! There's even a monitor hanging from the ceiling next to the man dressed in a tweet jacket and a bowtie. ]

No, this is definitely not the Eye of Orion... it doesn't make any sense! You're giving me nonsense, old girl, absolute babble! I know that the transfer might of been a bit confusing and backwards for you, but, no data whatsoever? What sort of nasty thing have you got in your time rotor this time?

[ Suddenly the man stops and turns and looks at you. He glances to the sides, shifting slightly, his hands flexing into small fists as he steps towards the edge of the glass ramp. ]

How did you get in here? No one can just walk into the TARDIS.


((ooc: intro post! ♥ this is a dream taking place within the console room of the TARDIS. if you have any questions regarding it, lemmie know! and, he doesn't know he's dreaming just yet. ))

Normally.

[The smirk stays in place. She is, after all, Mercury, whose abilities include certain powers over dimensions; she's torn holes into separate dimensions before, and created pocket dimensions of her own.

And of course the Dark Kingdom was its own dimension, too, with she and its other members able to travel between it and the human world.]

I'm the Soldier of Water and Knowledge, Mercury.

I'm telling you that since I'm the intruder here, but I want to know who you are now.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Mercury. As in the planet? Since when did planets have soldiers?

Poor Pluto. It's not even a proper planet anymore.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[She smiles again, and this time there's actually almost humor in it as she thinks of the dignified, dutiful senshi.]

Tell Pluto that.

[She pauses before answering the actual question.]

Senshi, soldiers, have existed since the creation of the galaxy.

[She turns her head to look directly at the Doctor.]

But if you already understand different dimensions, you should understand it might not be that way in your world.

So, answer me. Just who are you?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Senshi... Japanese! That makes sense. No, no, that doesn't make any sense. Sorry. [ Though he does look her up and down. ]

Alternate universe then. Still doesn't explain how you showed up here. It takes a ridiculous amount of power to enter another universe. You could very well be trapped here.

Oh, yes, sorry. I'm The Doctor.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[As far as she's concerned, this is still the locket nexus.]

It's something we haven't been able to stop yet. The borders between dimensions have weakened and eroded, resulting in random travel across them.

It can be useful.

[It's also maddening: endlessly, the same things repeating; endlessly, enemies to fight; endlessly, fate.]

But, be careful about assuming that power doesn't exist.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

And dangerous. Especially in the wrong hands.

[ The Doctor goes quiet at that, simply looking her over. ]

Is there a way to take you back home?

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

With enough energy. Or, sooner or later, on its own.

[This last part is true whether the nexus or the dream world, of course. She'll eventually wake up.]

I'm only telling you these things because you've already come this far. [She says as once one of the immortal beings who watched over Earth's evolution.] For now, don't let your guard down, but don't concern yourself with fixing this.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

You don't just tell a man who fixes things not to fix things! What is the point in taking the name "The Doctor" if you can't fix things? No point whatsoever.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Sometimes a doctor does other things instead.

[She never has, even now, been able to shake the worries that a soldier and a killer can't also be a healer.

Or perhaps she just means a doctor as opposed to The Doctor.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Yes, if they're any other sort of doctor other than me.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

And what sort are you? [The question comes out as a challenge.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Depends if you've found me on a good day or a bad day.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[It's the kind of remark that begs for a joke in response, but she seems to answer it seriously.]

Maybe... both, are what I want to know about.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

I've no reason to tell you. That's a good thing.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

How mysterious. Then, show me this place. Where are we?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

There you go assuming I'm going to be telling you these things. Or, in this case, showing. I've got no reason to show a mysterious blue haired lady my ship. Especially when she just sort of waltzes in.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes narrow. She doesn't like to be thwarted or for someone to be in the way of what she wants.]

I didn't come here with any intention to hurt anything.

Should I forget that?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

It still doesn't mean I have any reason to trust you.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

This and that are different. I have a right to know where I am.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

The TARDIS. See, there. Now you know.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

A ship that can cross dimensions. I'm impressed.

I'd like to know more about it still.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

No.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to make me angry treating me that way?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

I'm saying you've got no right to know more than you already do.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Her head lifts proudly. By her own standards, she's exercising enormous patience; she's not known for letting people go easily when she feels insulted.]

Explain just why you say that.

Make it good, and I'll forget about today.
