[ 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. ))

... Oh. [ She blinked, looked at the door, and reminded herself it was just a dream.

But she wouldn't peek outside as she'd originally planned. ]

Well, thank you for telling me! Guess I'll just have to stay in here.

I suppose so. The question is how did you get here?

We're in space ... must have been by rocket. [ She grins and then ducks down, looking under the glass ramp. ] So many parts! How do you remember which is which?

No rocket can get inside of my ship, and I'm very clever.

But you can't figure out how I got in? [ It sounds so innocent, but she's definitely teasing. ]

Not yet, no... [ He points at her and narrows his eyes playfully. ]

Take your time! I'm not in a rush.

... Do you stay up here all the time? Seems kind of stifling.

I live here, yes. [ He reaches up and pokes her in the forehead. ]

[ afdkl she jerks back in surprise. ] Hey!

You're human. That's the good news... yes, wait, no, yes! Good news. Well, technically, good and bad news. Good news because it means you are human. Bad news because normal humans can't pop into my ship without something being behind it. Oh, mysteries. Love a good mystery, me.

[ He leans in this time. ] I'm the Doctor.

[ His response is initially met with incredulity -- was that supposed to be a test? And, how many people ever called her normal?

At his last statement, though, she looks surprised for a second and then downright cagey, taking a step back again. ]

What kind of doctor? [ Even the obvious medical doctors she's not all that comfortable with, and this set-up leaves her thinking it's not that. ]

[ The Doctor picks up on this and takes a step back, raising his hands to mean no offense. Right. Bad subject. ]

A doctor of everything, really. Mainly time and space travel, given you're in a time machine. I don't know too many medical things. Don't have the patience for it. Nor the attention span, some would argue.

[ When he holds up his hands she realizes how transparent she's being and tries to make herself to relax, adopting a small smile, and then she feels a little silly. ]

Right ... of course you'd be more focused on space since we're in -- [ He didn't call it a space ship this time. ] -- Did you say we're in a time machine? Really?!

[ oh my goooosh everything is even shinier now (because with them being in a dream, she's inclined to believe him about the time machine) and Aerith turns around, looking at everything again -- ]

Oh! Sorry. [ She turns back to him. ] I'm Aerith. Mm ... you're a doctor, okay, but what's your name?

Edited 2011-05-31 10:41 (UTC)

That's my name. The Doctor. Well, actually it's more of a title-name that I picked... we'll go with just my name. Less confusing and less explaining.

[ He offers her a smile and leans against the console. ] And yes, Aerith. A time machine. And a space ship. Package deal!

I can take some confusion in my explanations. [ She certainly gives it in her own. But the space ship/time machine has her distracted from being persistent about names. ]

So if you can move through time and space ... that means you can go just about anywhere, right?

I can. Is there somewhere you want to go?

Maaaaybe ... what's your favorite place?

[ The Doctor takes a deep breath as he thinks about that. ]

Earth.

What kind of place is that?

It's a planet. Oceans, green places, desert places. Blue sky - populated with humans.

Ah ... it sounds a lot like Gaia. Earth must be a beautiful Planet too.

That means not all planets have blue skies, right? [ She grins. ] This is my first time out in space, you see.

Not at all. Mine had an orange sky.

What color were sunsets?

Yellows and reds. It was all very red-y.

Could I see one? Please.
