This is prank is absolutely deplorable. Then again, I imagine those in the Narrows don't have the braincells to rub together for something so intricate, and the rest of Gotham is altogether uninspired for anything beyond normal thuggery. So what is this then, one of those...flash mobs... that they like to run in other urban areas?

I demand to return to the asylum. I have patients to see to and little time to waste on these shenanigans.

I am so glad that its all over and I can actually go out and experience life outside of my apartment. Thank you Chris for everything, you are the best brother ever. Thank you as well Sookie for being there, you are an amazing friend. Now I want to go out and have some fun, who is with me, first round of drinks on me?

I didn't say anything because I really couldn't prove anything yet. Until I went back to our conversation earlier about fear. Was this all you? Did you release that fear toxin?

Too much boredom is bad for me, apparently. I try to find ways to entertain myself, and I'm not very good at it. Not that Colligo is boring; please, Asaph, don't think I'm complaining. It was nice to have a relatively normal Christmas, even in July, and I'm very glad to have my coffee machine back, although the condoms were certainly a bit...unexpected. I guess uselessness is a better word than boredom. I love the coffee shop, but it doesn't really have much sense of purpose to it, does it? I guess Torchwood made me feel like I was doing something important, and I don't really have that here.

Anyway, I need something to occupy my time. I've been thinking about going back to school. I never finished, did you know that? Any other suggestions?

I miss him.

And everytime I see her, I'm forcibly reminded of him. Each time she gives that half smirk that he wore every moment, the curve of her jaw...her tone of voice.

Every time I see those honey'd brown eyes that smile even as their owners are pouring out the most vicious insults or sliding a knife between your ribs.

I hate her, because I miss him.

I think it was Asaph's intention by bringing her her. Except to increase the incidents of STD's resulting around Colligo.

So I realized, after seeing various people from various realities comment on it, that the 2012 Olympics that are playing right now could be from any reality where they exist at all. Then I realized that there is one reality that does have the games that this particular version of them could not be airing from. Namely, the reality where the Doctor(s) come from.

And this is why.

That's all. Really. I just had to share. Enjoy the games, everyone!

Okay, let's try this again. Now with 90% less panicking.

Hi, my name is Stiles. Stiles Stilinski. I'm a high school student from California and I'm still really confused. But less confused than I was before, because I found some handy tutorial thing someone FROM THE VAMPIRE DIARIES wrote up. It kind of helped. A little.

So, I should probably get a job. Because a hundred dollars doesn't go all that far, especially when you need to get Adderall. Does anyone need anyone? My skills include knowing a lot about werewolves, awesome research powers, people skills, and possibly being the only person in my town who isn't a moron.

Does anyone know anything about Claire Winchester and her blood?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hate Asaph! I hate his stupid mistletoe. And I hate when I try to do something right and it blows up in my face. I couldn't just let her break into the bank. I had to try and stop her. What happened after that wasn't my fault! Why couldn't it have been Crane or something? But then with my luck, I probably would have wound up kissing him. And that would just give me nightmares for the rest of my life. But no, it had to be her and now the best thing that I had going is a mess and I don't know what to do.

I will say this now and clearly so that no one can profess innocence, do NOT touch what is mine and under my protection. You will NOT like the results, just ask Enigma.

For those whom are too dense to understand what this means, if you touch, harm, maim, bother, torture, bully or tease Hannah West, Justin Taylor, Nightmare the Horse, Rose Tyler, Harley Quinn, and Selina Kyle I will more then return the favor.

Can someone explain why the hell it is snowing? I know my birthday didn't pass so it can't suddenly be winter. Nightmare is not ready for the cold season.

Okay, I guess I can expect to get covered in heat-seeking cats when I go to sleep, because the temperature just dropped like crazy while I was out. I take the cold better when I'm expecting it.

( If I wasn't trying this whole get-to-know-my-roommates thing, I probably wouldn't do this. )

Spike, I am moving back to my own room. Your place is way too cozy right now. You know where I will be. I am also working this afternoon.

For all of the headaches this place can cause from time to time, it's still nice to be back. Especially with so many new faces about. Junior, you've certainly been busy. I'm almost impressed.

Also, before I forget. Adam Young, you and I need to have a little chat. I'll be by shortly.

( Bite me, Enigma )

I need a job. I should probably go to school here so I can find replacement friends. And also finish my degree. Or maybe my friends already here, but I can only find them by going to classes. But if the school has tuition, I will need a way to pay for it.

I have experience as a fry cook working at my dad's falafel restaurant and at my school's cafeteria making chicken fingers. This would also be good if anyone needed me to be a crime boss in a mafia movie.

I have also worked as a filmmaker, mostly web shorts and documentaries. And an actor, mostly in extended fast-paced escapades. Best known for my Don Draper, but my Han Solo has picked up some traction recently. And a news anchor, on closed circuit local access television. And an editor, mostly the TV Tropes website. Not paid.

I also have some experience as Batman.

Okay, this is not funny. Asaph, why the hell did you bring Nightmare here? Seriously, she's a horse, she doesn't need this kind of treatment.

Okay, yes, she's my horse, and happens to be the best breed, most well trained Arabian in the known world, but still...

At least I was nearby when she came, who knows what would have happened in this city if I hadn't claimed her.

I guess it's nice...to have one part of my life back. I'd rather the rest of my costumes...like my summer one, but beggars can't be choosers and she is my best friend. I just...I hope she does okay here.

I... apologize for yesterday's behavior. It was uncalled for. Please, forgive me.

I have a lot of issues I'm working on.

I
Hello
Bugger

Uh. Right. Blimey. Shit.

Well, put down your hankies and stop that weeping, you crazy bunch of fools. Your Sex God has returned!

Erm... Are Remus and Lily still here? I only ask because I think I'm about ten seconds from going mad.

I got laid, twice.

I fucking LOVE this honestly thing!

I'VE NEVER HAD SEX, ALRIGHT!

Now maybe this pressure can go away.

Right, so does anyone know where I can get a decent hair dye? My roots are showing.

Yesterday I snuck a couple of grapes to eat while I was at the grocery store.

I always wanted to be in a rock band.

Sometimes I like coffee so much, that I actually drink decaf just so I can have coffee late at night. Otherwise, it keeps me up. Though I don't get much sleep as it is.

I kind of miss being in my chair and going down skate ramps.

I really want to see Magic Mike, to see hot guys take their shirts off and strip. I wish it was in 3-D though. Does anyone want to go with me?

I would like this truth bullshit to stop now. And no you can't ask me questions!

Hello, Colligo. I'm Selina. I take it from my reading and listening that I'll be stuck here awhile, until I'm not. I'm furious, but right now I want information more than I want to lash out at complete strangers who're just as screwed over as I am. Just give me a reason...

I'm supposed to be going to an assigned apartment, but that really isn't my style. At all. I'll find my own way, thanks. I'll take it for now until I find what I want. Can anyone recommend what to check out? I've done some looking around already, but I don't know enough yet about anything's reputation. Tell me about the neighborhoods here, where people aim to go and where they avoid.

My first priority, though-- is there an animal rescue anywhere? Where would someone look for cats in need of homes?

I AM NOT SORRY!

Ok, whatever is going on needs to stop. Steph is acting like a robot, which is friggin' creepy and Hank is acting like a bigger douche than Jason, which is saying a lot. Then Jeremy and Matt, at work, are also acting weird. I'm about ready to just live in the Danger Room. At least there everything is normal. Or, I might even go to extremes and go hang out with Quinn and Crane. I mean at least I know that they're acting as normal as is possible for them.

Huh. Well that was easy.

I don't know why people always complain that finding a job is hard. I managed just fine. Just went looking and found one.

Well...I guess the doctorate helps a little.

That's right. I've got a job! And a real, honest to goodness, on the level job to boot! Figured I oughta do something, otherwise I'm just gonna get bored. And then the freaking capes'll get their panties in a twist.

I'm real excited.

She'shere,she'shere,she'shere,she'shere,she'shere,she'shere,she'shere,she'shere,she'shere!

She's. HERE.

...oh gods, let him not show up.

Well, that was a laugh and a half.

Those tin cans sure know how to show a girl a good time. And they give out presents too! Double the fun! I mean, yeah, they could've gone with something cuter but, hey, a gift's a gift.

So now I'm real confused, because this isn't Gotham. It's too clean. And not near crazy enough.

Ah jeez. Did I get kidnapped? I hate when that happens.

Red? Kitty? You girls around?

Mister J? No. I'm over him. I'm SO over him. I wonder if he's here. No. I can do better than him. But I should probably check if he's around. No. Uh uh. Not doing it.

Mister J?

A high pitched, electronic, whine, designed to be painful to the ears, carries on for three seconds.

When the voice finally appears, its tones are grave, ripe with anger, and carry the weight of a man who may well have been at the end of his rope.

"Now that I have your attention. I want you all to listen very, very, carefully.

I am The Doctor, and some of you may know me already. Today, someone took me away from a world which needed me, they stole me away when a good man depended on me for his very life, I was given no reason, no explanation. Today, a good man was left frightened and scared, today, I gave up everything to do what had to be done. Today, some has made me very angry.

And here's the thing about me, something you'd have to know if you were going to take me anywhere, making me angry is the worst idea in the whole history of bad ideas - and if you're a person who's stupid enough to make an idea that bad, to take a man like me away from his world, I imagine you'd have a very serious interest in who I am what I do - and if you're a man who's so interested in who I am and what I do, I imagine you're listening - and that's just what I want.

I have been told your name is Asaph, and I have a message for you, for all of you, and I want you to pay very, very, close attention to what I have to say next.

I. am. coming. I will find you. Today, you have made a very big mistake."

The message ends.

Right. So I'm on another planet I can't leave, that I didn't ask to visit in the first place, occasionally bouts of utter madness happen for no reason whatsoever, the guards in the library are rather handsy and not much for conversation, and the bloke running the place is related to some sort of god. I'll get a touch of cash - Earth currency or, more specifically, American, apparently - if I take this device by the local bank and I've also been given a flat to stay in for however long my kidnapping lasts.

Oh! Almost forgot. There's every possibility I've been here before but just don't remember it, even if that should be more than a bit unlikely.

That's most all of it, yeah? Did I miss anything?

...can someone please explain why I was just thrown out of a library.

Where the hell I am might also be acceptable, as I'm quite certain this isn't Gotham. The Gotham City Library doesn't throw me out unless I'm trailing straw everywhere
