It's all AU.

After The Doctor got his unconscious, future-self (and rightful owner of this TARDIS) settled in bed and was quite sure he was neither going to wake up or die, The Doctor left him the hell alone. He went to the TARDIS wardrobe, exchanged his clothes to ones a bit more fitting with this regeneration - comfortable shoes and no wool, thank you very much.

He stepped out of the TARDIS, pocketing the key with one hand and flipping his coat's collar into position with the other. He made sure the door was locked firmly before he pocketed his key and walked away from it, and back toward the hotel. He'd made it about half-way when he spotted someone walking toward him. He waved, cheefully, and squinted.

"Hello!" he said, brightly. "Looking for someone?"

Finally, the Master was ready to post his notice for the party. He pinned it to a large bulletin board easily viewable in the hotel lobby. In careful flowing calligraphy it read,

"All are cordially invited

To an evening of conversation, food, drinking, music, and dancing

In the company of fellow visitors and semi-residents

Located at the hotel ballroom beginning at dusk tomorrow

Dress up is highly encouraged

Less than civilized behavior while in attendance not tolerated

With warm regards,

Koschei (who will be dressed in style) & Theta Sigma (who will probably be late)"

He was trying really hard not to laugh, as he stood back and looked at it. Ok, he laughed. And then wandered off, with a stupidly happy grin on his face.

Krista was on her way to lunch with her husband Ianto; she stepped out of their house. When she turned around she was no longer at home, she appeared in the hub she was a bit confused.
"How did I get here?" Krista said with a surprised look on her face.

There really weren't enough sophisticated places here, Lucy thought, ordering her second glass of champagne at the classiest bar she'd managed to find. She wasn't usually one to drink alone, but her husband wasn't here and she didn't have anyone else to ask to come with her.

She glanced around to see if anyone interesting had arrived to talk to.
