[ 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. ))

I was... [She pauses, sighs, and sees where he's going with this.] I thought I was sleeping.

And you've never had a dream where you wake up inside it?

Um, I don't know? I've never been much of a lucid dreamer. I always think it's real until I wake up and realize it's not.

What makes this any different?

Well it... I don't know! You could be a person I made up in my head.

I could be! I'm not, but, I could be.

[She's starting to believe he's not anyway.] So if we're both trapped in this dream, it must be yours because it's got your time machine in it, right?

Yes!

So how do I get out of your dream and back home?

We need to find out how to wake you up. Or wake me up. Or both!

Ok, well we already know pinching me doesn't work. Try pinching yourself?

[ He eyes her but tries--] Ow! No. Not working.

Great. Ok, what would do the trick? [She starts thinking.] When we wake up from dreams, it's mostly from an outside influence, like an alarm, or someone waking you. How can we do it from the inside?

A kick! We need a kick. You always wake up when you feel a falling sensation. Or you die. However, I've never liked dying.

Umm, yeah I don't know about that. If you think it'll work, maybe you'd better take the swan dive.

I've got a pool... no, hang on, had a pool. Well! It's a dream world. I could have a pool if we needed.

Sure you could. Just think it up, I guess, right?

What? No! The TARDIS has a pool inside her. It's in the library.

Fine, fine. Let's go to the... library, [Here she sighs, because this is all so ridiculous] and you can jump in the swimming pool to wake us up.

Right then. This way!

[She follows after him, wondering how far away the library is.]

[ It isn't far, given it's a dream world. The Doctor tosses the doors open and steps inside to the massive library. ]

Whoa. [She just stares, unable to move for a moment.] This is, it's... wow.

Yes, it's all very marvelous isn't it? Now, dear, where did you put your swimming pool this time...

[She steps into the room, still amazed.] You call your time machine "dear?"

[She catches a whiff of something and sniffs the air.] I can smell the chlorine.
