In The Tardis

With the TARDIS essentially out of action while she refuels, I’m sure anxiety is running a bit high, and given the potential for people to go a bit stir crazy at the moment, I feel as if I should maybe extend the offer of a friendly ear if anyone feels like they might need to air anything. No pressure or obligation, obviously, but my door is open to any of you if you feel like you need it.

I just had a free medical checkup on the TARDIS. I'd say I must be dreaming, but I'm not usually this creative.

[Filtered to Dream]

Tea tomorrow?

I have a painting for you.

This place is very strange. Between the medbay doing a medical scan without any doctor present, to just how large this place feels to how tiny it is on the outside, and the strange little creatures outside.

I seem to have already attracted the attention of one of the creatures. It seems to like me, and doesn't want to leave my side.

I also feel at least three familiar presences, but the Force isn't as strong here. Though perhaps I am bit disoriented.

Since I am apparently going to be here for awhile, I should introduce myself. I'm Rey Skywalker.

Strangely not the first time I've opened a door and wound up somewhere I wasn't a second ago. Though I really wish I'd get some kind of cool notice before it happens. Y'know, a flash of lightning? Burst of wind? The kind of portal effects on Wendy, or when one of the Flashes is mid-battle. ...Bart...

Clearly not Myrg, not Apokolypse - much less scary than there, but... now I'm thinking I'm crazy because that's bird carrying an upside down leek a Farfetch'd, right? A Pokemon? I just stole my bow back from a Pokemon that is now following me around like I'm it's long lost mother! All this and somehow my friends aren't even around!? This is definitely a Young Justice on their adventure level.

Hi, I'm Cissie and I'm currently losing my mind.

This thing works, yeah?

Look. I appreciate a good kidnap as much as anyone. Honestly, top marks all round. 10/10 for ingenuity. And creativity, actually – the décor is outstanding. I’ve picked up some excellent ideas for the living room.

Anyway, I hate to be the bloke who doesn’t play along, but I have stuff going on at home. Pumpkins to carve, toddler costumes to negotiate, etc etc. So if someone could just point me in the direction of the exit, that would be peachy. Ta very much.

everyone everyone!
i had an idea
and the tardis made it!
i want to show you!
it's a playground for our pokemans!
so much room for them to run and play

[…]

This was definitely not the appointment I had scheduled for today.

I am Senator Padmé Amidala, representative for the Chommell sector in the Galactic Senate. Can someone please tell me what world we are on?

I caught a cute green guy with a green bulb on his back! He keeps saying Bulbasaur and responded when I called him Bobby. He's got a name!

For those of you that expressed an interest in learning swordsmanship, I thought perhaps we might convene tomorrow afternoon? It likely won’t be anything too taxing, I shall need to get an idea of what levels of ability I am dealing with to determine how to best move forward. There will be a small stock of weapons but if you have your own do please feel free to bring them.

Everyone is more than welcome to join, even if you had not already expressed an interest.

[Sylvie]

I wondered if you might perhaps consider assisting me if a demonstration might be called for?




[ooc: directions are attached to this post, to a room on the TARDIS that contains a large open field.]

I am not a Pokemon person.

I will never be a Pokemon person.

And yet I find myself...with a Pokemon. It won't go away.

[the slightly-wobbly video feed opens on a little black-and-blue bird on one side of a chess board, trying to grab a black pawn with its tiny beak and failing. A tiny laugh is heard from off screen]

Should I build you something so you can actually play? You seem clever enough I could teach you.

[the bird looks up from the chess piece, hopping a bit as it chirps]Rook! Rookidee!

...I'll uh. Take that as a yes? [Amanda laughs, louder this time] At least I don't think you'll be a sore loser as long as I give you some of those berries as a participation prize.

[ Dream & Lucifer & Dr. Strange ]

you are invited to partake in a little pokemon journey
a quest!
we must find a corgi before we leave!
it is a gift for my sister.

Public service announcement that Dean Winchester is the worst brother ever, after catching a moose shaped Pokémon and then giving it to me because he thinks he’s hilarious.

Guess, it could’ve been worse. Could’ve been Mr Mime. Honestly, dude, you might be slipping.

Ah, I really love when the time machine randomly makes new additions while simultaneously getting me lost.

[ Sif ]

Christmas came early for you.

[ Jon ]

I've upgraded my steak knives.

Just out of curiosity [...] has anyone seen anything weird...er in the TARDIS?

Well, I needed that like a hole in the chest.

[…]

Since I’m pretty sure this time the answers not me. Who’s flying this thing?

I don't know what the hell just happened, but I guess Cami's gone because I just appeared in my room and can't leave until I have a new guardian. This is gonna get old fast

Inej? Dr. Strange? Bueller?

Does anyone else have reservations about fighting ten year olds, even if it's with Pokemon? Especially since the loser is supposed to give away money? I feel like I'm taking some kid's lunch money.

It doesn't help that it's also considered the biggest insult if you turn down a Pokemon battle. Though I question what their idea of "eye contact" is. My back has been turned, and then some kid is challenging me to a battle.

The Riolu that decided that it liked my aura and wanted to come along with me really seems to like battling, too, so it's hard to say no.

Especially to that cute face.

I GOT MY VERY FIRST BADGE
WE SQUASHED THE BUGS
LOOK AT THE BUG BADGE
it kind of looks like a scarab

[ attached is a crude selfie of her with the bug badge and her lil pokemon team in the bg. ]

After visting the Parfum Palace, the other day, I decided to check out a place called the Pokemon Daycare. Apparently, it's a place where trainers can leave their Pokemon to be raised for a bit. And sometimes if they leave more than one, they can breed and leave behind an egg?

The really nice lady gave me one, and told me that I should try walking with it and see what hatches.

Well, it hatched, and it's so stinking cute. I've been told it's a Togepi.

I think I'm definitely going to keep it. It's so cute and happy.

Also, it apparently imprints on the first person it sees, so its thinks I'm its mom, and it would be mean to just abandon it.

Anyway, I took a little video of it so everyone else could be mesmerized by the cuteness.

I've investigated the recent disappearances. In addition to T'Challa and Shuri, going through the records in the TARDIS' console, there have been five other disappearances, Kate Bishop, Logan Echolls, Veronica Mars, Mel Medara, and Jinn.

There doesn't really appear to be a reason why they were sent home, and judging from the data we were able to pull, they were sent back to their home universes. It would also seem that when someone is sent home, all of their belongings vanish, and their rooms are cleared out. Out of these seven, Shuri and T'Challa were here the longest, the others weren't here very long.

So, apparently, we can get home, there just doesn't seem to be any control over how and when we get home. Like being pulled here, it appears to be done at random by the TARDIS herself.

I know Martha and myself will be looking into this further, but Martha's the TARDIS expert, and this is still something that she's never experienced.

For the time being, we'll keep looking into this, and if there are any more disappearances, maybe we can try and pick up on a pattern or something. But so far, it appears to be at random.

I'll try and answer any questions as best as I can, but Martha probably has better answers than I do.

In the meantime, I hope everyone's enjoying Kalos. If anyone wants someone to go exploring with, I'm here.

Aren't these things supposed to be cute and nice? These fuckin' grumpy-looking birds were taunting this little guy.

[ ooc note: pretend the gif is a realistic short video. ]

I took Morgan to the Lumiose Museum in the city this morning. She didn’t have a lot of patience for the audio guide, but she liked a few of the paintings. Her favourite was the picture of the hedgehog. Shaymin, I think? Anyway, it’s a nice little outing, if anyones looking for something a bit more low key.

This is in no way me pressuring anyone, but I was wondering if anyone here would be open to my drinking their blood?

I promise I can make it so it doesn't hurt, nor would I take much. Blood bags are fine! But sometimes I miss fresh blood.

It seems Shuri and T'Challa are no longer here.

I tried to reach both of them and neither answered.

Who's going to attend this big royal ball?

[...]

Really hoping dates are not a requirement.

Earlier in the day while walking in the woods, Steve Harrington stumble across an elegant white stag. As soon as the stag disappeared, King Oberon appeared to him, and named him as official Lord Of Avalon. In honor of Steve's new nobility, King Oberon and Queen Titania have thrown a grand royal ball starting in the evening, and all are welcome to attend in their finest attire, which the wardrobe room in the TARDIS will provide.

At the stroke of midnight, characters will find themselves onboard the TARDIS, where she will depart Avalon and head off for destinations unknown...

There will be the option of IC/OOC threads in the comments! Have fun!

i have drank a lot of honey wine
so
i will be sleeping with the flowers
pretty red flowers
good night
sleep tight

Winning a bet with a fairy wasn't something I expected to happen today.

dream.

How's your sister feeling?

Someone has really been taking her stealth training seriously since her sleepover with Love. I’ve lost count of how many times she’s pounced on me, or jumped out from a hiding spot to surprise me. I think my favourite was the laundry hamper - Clothes everywhere.

Does anyone know what it means when a deer starts like, following you around in the woods?

You know, I really thought I escaped captivity, but here I fucking am.

[...]

To the people in the med bay, I was being perfectly fucking civil given the circumstances.

This library has everything! Comic books, technical manuals, something called a D-V-D, future episodes I've never heard of! But someone has got to explain to me, in Star Wars, what the hell is a "Jar-Jar Binx?"

I seem to have managed to turn my luck around with these little annoyances. They're actually turning out to be quite useful.

thor.

You had questions the other day and I'm feeling generous. Ask what you'd like, but I won't promise to answer all of them.

This is not something I ever expected to have any insight into - but I have renewed admiration for those of you amongst us who are parents. Babysitting is quite exhausting.

It is, however, also rather fun.

To whoever thoroughly waxes these bloody floors:

Think of our four-legged friends? Turning the corners is murder. Every time.

I know I should appreciate that I am somehow alive [...] for the third time (the third time’s the charm), but holy fuck am I bored. I’ve already dealt with a lot of fuckery back home, so I honestly have little desire to leave the TARDIS again.

I do have some fae wine. Don’t worry. I watched someone else try it before I helped myself to a bottle or two. I have some hand-rolled cigarettes if that’s more your speed. Given these dire circumstances, I am feeling generous.

To those of you that expressed an interest in sparring, after some reconnaissance yesterday I believe I have found a room that would be suitable. Thanks to Thor, I have ruled out the lagoon. But there appears to be a room that is merely an open field which should allow us ample space. If any of our new arrivals would like to opt in then of course you are most welcome.

Also, it occurs to me that there may be those among us who have an interest in developing combat skills without having had the means to do so. To that end I am happy to teach anyone that would like to learn. Given that we do not know what the TARDIS may bring us to at any given moment, perhaps this may be prudent for safety in the future.

hmn
how can you tell if a doggo likes you
do dogs eat shoes?
what do dogs like to eat?
did i see the doggo first?
can i keep the doggo?

Twenty minutes of being flung around the ship has left me completely disoriented and I have to say, the large white wolf is an interesting new hallucination.

So. I've befriended two goats.

Two screaming but cute goats.

Do they belong to someone?

Or did the TARDIS not understand the concept of serenading people?

Is this because of the box thi

Cool. Space. Anyone have any interesting space facts? I'll go first:

Kind of fun to think it's just a few inches of metal or whatever stopping that from happening, huh?

Apparently I need an adultier adult to come spring me from medical prison.

I have absolutely no desire to go back out into Avalon, considering all the trouble these Fae have caused. I do, however, find myself with an abundance of pent up energy and I am in need of releasing some frustr of it.

Would anyone be interested in sparring with me? I generally favour swords but I could settle for hand to hand combat if that would be preferable.

My kid is a kid and I am not impressed.

At least she's still cute?

I got nothing.

When the hell are we getting off this rock? Because I'm over it.

I realize that while I've talked to a lot of people on the network, I've never really done a proper introduction. Since there's a quite a few new arrivals recently, that would probably be useful.

My name is Kelly Grayson, and I've been on the TARDIS for almost three months. I was actually the second person to arrive, after Martha. We were by ourselves for a couple of days, then Ray Palmer, Jadzia Dax, and Poe Dameron arrived all at different points. It was just the five of us for those two months, then everyone else started arriving. The working theory that Martha and I have been working on is that the TARDIS seems to be pulling everyone in for a reason. Everyone has a certain set of skills, or something that the TARDIS thinks makes them special, and can help her looking for the Doctor.

As for the theory on where said Doctor might be, or which Doctor she's looking for, as apparently, there's quite a few of them, we have no idea. Right now, the TARDIS seems to be recognizing Martha as the one in charge. I've gotten a basic understanding of the TARDIS myself, all of us who were here before are pretty familiar with it, but if you have a specific question about it? Ask Martha, she's the expert. Having her around those two months was really useful.

The TARDIS herself has been pretty friendly. Aside from one incident a few weeks ago when she locked everyone in for twenty-four hours because someone tried reprogramming her, she's really helpful, and can get anyone pretty much anything you need.

Now, onto a little bit about me. Like a lot of people onboard, I'm from a different version of Earth. Where I'm from, it's the 25th century, and I'm a First Officer in the Planetary Union on the USS Orville, an exploratory vessel. So you could say that I'm fairly used to space travel. I've dabbled in time travel a little bit, too, though nowhere near on the level that Martha has.

I've also gotten a fair amount of diplomatic experience, so if anyone needs me to help broker any sort of agreement, I can help with that. Before I was a First Officer, I was a Science Officer with some medical training, so I can also be of some use there.

I've also made it my job to try and help everyone feel adjusted and safe on the TARDIS. Even though I'm not technically on duty here, I still want to make myself useful. So if there's anything that I can do to help anyone adjust, please, let me know. Even if it's just getting drinks.

I look forward to getting to know all of you.

After everything that’s already happened this week, I figured it might be an idea to continue the trend of friendly advice - especially since I’m guessing a lot of people won’t be hugely familiar with having dealings with fairies.

- the buddy system is obviously great advice if you really have to venture out. It’d also be a good idea to arm yourselves if possible with something made of iron or silver. It won’t kill most fairies but it’ll sure as hell slow them down.
- you could also carry some kind of grains or seeds. If you drop them in front of a fairy they’ll have to stop and count each grain. Salt or sugar works too. Again, handy for slowing them down.
- offerings are good if you want to try and keep on their good side - apparently cream is a favourite with certain types.

If anyone needs any kind of help here or if you think you’re in over your head, reach out to me or my brother, Dean. There is a spell that can banish them, but since it sends them back to Avalon that may only be useful if they’re causing trouble on the Tardis. and to be honest it might just piss them off

[Tony]
Given what happened with the kid, I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask what you know about changelings? People who go missing around fairies don’t always come back the same.

Okay, I know I didn't hit my head, so this has to be real.

And while I'm hoping it's real because this is extremely cool- Seriously is this the TARDIS?! It looks different, but it meets the specs from the show and when I wanted a drink it was suddenly right there! But we've got some serious stuff going on back home. So... uh that I'm done with those medical tests... Uh... Anyone home?

Hellllllo? Kinda stuck in here!

Oh my god. TARDIS! So frigging cool!! But... Hawkins.

Given recent events I have some tips.  Use the buddy system for exploring this area.  There's less chance of getting lost. You can watch each other's backs.  If you get hurt, you've got someone to give first aid.   You can help each other through the terrain, especially when it's hard to see through the mist.

Taking a survival kit is a good idea too.  Make sure to include water, food and a first aid kit.  A tarp if you have one - do we have those on the Tardis?  And your phones, though getting a signal might be difficult so don't depend on GPS or calling for help.  I'm going to ask the locals for paper maps. 

Be careful.
