In The Tardis

unknown familiar
sharp shiny
used held fit
comprehends but does not understand

So I don't know when it happened but Cerebro showed up!

I got back from walking through the Casino to get back from the pool - seriously you can't get anywhere without walking through that place and if you aren't of age, they look at you like you're going to steal something. What would I steal in a casino? All the guards are like two feet taller than me! They could take me out with one punch.

Anyway I got back to my room here on the TARDIS and it was here, in it's entirety, in it's bag! COOL!

Has the TARDIS mentioned how long we'll be here?

[Crows]
There's a cemetery near the university.

While I understand the need to make sure that I'm in good health, the least you could is make sure that it's administered by someone who's actually attended medical school, and not a damn child.

How the hell do you get off of this thing?

No warning when people leave then, eh? One day here, and the other...

[...]

Who was it, last time, who offered violence?

I'm so sorry. I wasn't myself and I know I said some things - wrote some things - and I remember everything that I said and I did, and I remember that other life.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry. Everybody I even talked to when I wasn't myself, I'm sorry. Things are safe and I took apart the things I was working on, and I'll give everybody some space from me.

I'm glad Jesper wasn't here for that but I really wish he were here now.


[Inej]

I'm so sorry, Inej. I don't know how I can make it better but I know I said and I did a lot of things that I didn't mean.

I'd never do anything to hurt any of us. And I'm really lucky you didn't come and give me what I deserved or let Kaz do it.

We've had a bit of a mystery in medical and I'm desperately hoping someone aboard can help Kelly and me solve it.

Our latest group of new residents contained a young lady who arrived unconscious. It appears she was recently under hospital care. The name on her identification bracelet is Maxine Mayfield. She is Caucasian, has red hair, blue eyes, is 1.6 meters or 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 48 kilograms or 106 pounds.

If anyone is familiar with Ms. Mayfield or this description sounds familiar, please let myself or Kelly know immediately.

Thank you.

You have all made a very grave mistake.

[Netpost to all Women]
I never thought I would need to ask. What do the women in your times use for contraception?

My mother made tea but I don't know precisely what went into it.

cyclical

I'm looking into it. Anyone who wants to help... Bloody hell...

Pocket of vortex energy? Timeline puncture transition flux?

I need someone to come into medical for a scan. First thing we need is more data.

Mom is going to be so pissed at whoever took me.

Ok fine I'm convinced this isn't an elaborate trap by the Dark Side.

Now, who wants to go exploring? I've been camping on the beach (thanks TARDIS for providing sunscreen I'm far to red and pale for this otherwise) but wouldn't mind seeing more of the island.

speech-to-text.

I want to speak to Dustin. Dustin Henderson. I want to speak to him right now.

Emma didn’t like the bumpy landing.

Kinda wishing maybe Wash could learn t’land it…ain’t no better pilot around than you, husband.

I like how t looks, but I know better than to let my guard down after landing. Might not be one of our planets, but I don’t stay alive taking chances.

Even so, hopefully it’s enjoyable. And at least it ain’t the desert. It’s got that going for it.

Very real vacation vibes right now. It looks like Bali.

[Tony]

Any idea how many more checks you plan on running before you’ll agree to the TARDIS’s assessment?

I saw something out the corner of my eye by the edge of the forest.

It didn't smell human. So be on the lookout for lizards or something I guess.

We've had a lot of new arrivals while I've been ensconced with data, so I suppose I'll start with a reintroduction. I'm Martha Jones, I'm one of the doctors on board. If you've any questions about what's going on here, I'm just one of the many people here who can help. If you've questions about the TARDIS specifically or the Doctor, I'm able to help specifically. As a note, as you may have noticed the TARDIS is sentient, there may be part of the ship she does not allow you into, please do not try to force the issue, she doesn't take well to it.

That out of the way, yes, we've landed. All scans show that food on the island follow Earth patterns - so if it was poisonous back home, don't eat it. Other than that all metrics: atmospheric, oceanographic, geographic, are similar to Earth if not identical. But as we are cutting through dimensions, please be cautious.

I've been able to determine that we are not doing any damage to the dimensional fabric of universes as we are passing through. The TARDIS' footprint is apparently not big enough to leave a permanent mark. I've set the systems to continue monitoring just in case.

Anyone who needs a change of clothing, feel free to raid the Wardrobe if the TARDIS hasn't left something in your rooms. Believe me there are enough clothes in there to outfit dozens of theatre companies.

Y'know... the last time I dealt with a body of water, really bad things happened. So not sure how I feel about the beach these days. Do we have any guarantees that there's not gonna be a giant hole in the bottom of the water that spits out monsters? Because this feels like we just walked into the island where the Cyclops was in the Odyssey. (What? I've been planning a new campaign!)

Also, Bobby has buried himself in the sand and is LOVING it.

don't like it out here
too loud too bright

ruins remain bones ground away

sand feels nice

Everyone felt that, right? We might have landed somewhere, or the TARDIS hit something solid in space.

Okay.

1) HOW did the TARDIS and the Doctor get separated? How did the Doctor get to a different universe without the TARDIS? Were they abducted? Was there a malfunction?

2) WHEN did this happen?

3) Does the TARDIS have a LOG of where and when she's been? We could try to retrace her steps, or at least avoid searching the same place twice.

Let's do this thing.


[added later]

4) WHO could we ask?

Uh[….] anyone know anything about the potency of ingredients once they’ve been thawed from frozen?

Aliens again, huh? What’s a guy gotta do to get a drink around here?

Okay. Seriously. Are we doing Thanksgiving? I've been telling Bobby about it and he's either hungry or excited. Might be a little of both. Either way he's super enthusiastic and I think he wants to try the greens.

We've also got about a month till Christmas and... I just realized that I'm not gonna be with Mom for it this year... And-

That's... that's a thing. Hawkins is a mess and we're not gonna be there for it...

Pardon me. My name is Gilbert and I seem to have found myself in need of an adult.

I did not expect the sauerkraut ice cream to be a Portkey. It seems a bit obvious now. That's on me.

I also didn't expect the boy and I to get ourselves a little medical look-see. You're welcome, Doc.

I do need to be getting back to the shop, I'm afraid. My apprentice here's very pregnant mum will be on a war path if we don't get back with the tub. We can re-schedule this playdate after I know you're all safe.

Intelligent, seemingly hyper advanced AI, able to counter my hacks in real time? Those movements are too precise to be another human. Not a building, this is a... ship. And it's... changing the floor as I roll forward making it wheelchair accessible?

Please tell me one of Superman's rogues scooped up a few of us Gothamites and I'm not going crazy here, because this looks a lot like the TARDIS. Twenty minutes since I got out of that medical lab with that... Pokemon (?) in it and the only thing I'm sure of is I'm clearly not in Gotham anymore. What the hell is going on here?

[Bats, JLA, DC characters - Audio, via either Comms or Phone]
This is Oracle, can anyone read me? Repeat this is Oracle. Does anyone read me?

I realize I've been quiet for a bit, as Poe pointed out. Not something I intended, but the 'simple question' I began looking into became a much more... delicate issue than it first appeared. One that required not only equations, research and reviewing technical documentation and readouts, but whatever else I could find that might shine light on this.

Firstly, some good news. As I promised Mr. Wilson Sam, I looked into those who had disappeared from the TARDIS. Biometric readings, internal sensor records and the TARDIS' memory banks all confirm that they are no longer aboard. I can confirm these individuals have returned home, but this is where things get interesting.

To Explain: The last time the Doctor undertook communication - simply communication - with a parallel universe, it took the TARDIS using up the power of a dying sun to puncture the walls between universes. In the last weeks, the TARDIS readouts have been showing immense energy outputs every time we move. They have been larger than anything I've ever seen from her before. At first, I thought that it was solely related to bringing all of us here. However, now with the slowdown in new arrivals, the two weeks without movement, and the calculations I had Kelly do last night regarding our current position vis-à-vis relative astral bodies, I can say with general confidence that the TARDIS is currently... well... refueling, for lack of a better term. She's brought us as close to a dying star as she can without risking our safety, and is taking on its energy in preparation for her next jump.

This is where things get complicated, or have been complicated, and what I've been trying to figure out since this all began. For Time Lords and TARDISes, travel between parallel universes is something that has been largely impossible since the end of the Last Great Time War. I was taught it could only happen under the most extraordinary of circumstances. As of this point, the TARDIS has undertaken it on her own twice! This means she is foregoing what she knows to be protocol because her Doctor is out here somewhere, and that is... That leads to many questions that will have to be answered later.

For all of us, at this moment, the use of this particular 'fuel' means a few changes to things. Likely we'll be making fewer stops as she needs to refuel. Additionally, we're going to need to do maintenance checks. Going through universal barriers is physically hard on a TARDIS. A well maintained one may have few issues, but the Doctor's is a Type 40, an old model. We're going to need to ensure that we're taking care of her, as she's taking care of us, to ensure that we're all getting where we need to be in one piece.

So.... now that that's out of the way, I want a drink. Anyone else want a drink?

I know there's something to be said for cabin fever, but not seeing only passive communication for two weeks concerns me.

Hands up who thinks something weird is going to happen on the 31st?

[Batfam]

Hey, so, I was wondering when everyone is from? I don’t want to inadvertently spoil anyone about future things from home.

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.

Why is this thing-

You know, a long time ago I'd probably have asked if this was heaven. But just because I know better, doesn't mean I'm not real happy to be here. Kinda wish you'd showed up before the giant monstrosity broke free of the Rift and started destroying my city, but that'd probably be pushing my luck.

You could have at least left a banana in my pocket when you took my sidearm, though.

Why did you l-

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!

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

I tried to reach both of them and neither answered.

Hello, everybody! Welcome to the Pokémon universe.

I wanted to give everyone some time to get used to the situation. There is definitely a lot to take in. Pokémon was originally an animated television series where I grew up, and Nintendo later produced games based on it. Since many of you are new to Pokémon, I figured I could share my knowledge. I can point out locations for supplies like additional pokéballs, revives, and other necessary items when you are on your Pokémon adventure. 

[ mj ]

Want to go to Aquacorde? It's the nearest town where we can get supplies.

Huh.

Tardis, Pokemon, what’s next? A giant Stay-Puft guy?

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!

[voice post]

[ooc: In a cold, arrogant voice]: UNHAND me, worm! How dare you presume to lay hands upon the god-king of the world! I will rip you limb from limb and then feast upon your - no not now - we

[ooc: in a much kinder, sweeter, and very Southern-sounding voice]: I am so sorry about that, I hope she didn't scare you. She didn't hurt you, right? What were you saying about a physical - I was too distracted by the time travel you mentioned, just how are you able to stabilize Einstein-Rosen bridge right in order to do all this, or did you use magic, I mean was it some kind of spell? Wait, did you really say the TARDIS or am I imagining that -

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?"

One to two, two to three. Tattered and tearing on red shoes.

Words ran off the page and spelled treason with sharp tongues in metal food!

One to two. Two to three. Two by two. Two by two.

Simon... SIMON!!!

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.

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.

My head is killing me.

Uh, is there really no way we can go back to our own time and place?

Just so we know where everyone’s at searching for Peter:

- Tony is our eyes in the sky.
- Thor is coordinating with Sif as aerial view of the south west. Love is with me and Morgan. We’re locked down so she’ll be perfectly safe.
- Alyssa is also taking to the sky.
- Natasha is covering ground to the North and East on Avalon
- Sif is covering the South West.
- Sam and Dean are also covering ground.
- Kelly is attempting to reach out to our hosts to see if they’re forthcoming - Murphy is on standby in case they aren’t.
- Eddie, Steve and Delirium are checking the ship.

You can post any information that you find here.

[Tony]
Check in, please. Your heart rate is spiking all over the place.

Who: River Tam and Kelly Grayson
What: River's... less than calm arrival on the TARDIS, sorry medical staff.
When: Backdated to 9/15 because Abby fell asleep.
Where: TARDIS medical bay (at least to start)
Rating/CW: Medium, expect frightened creature in a cage situation to occur.

( River is... all over the place. )

Alright, now that the lockdown's been lifted and Tony is out of that cage, I suppose we should get back to explanations.

Firstly, welcome to the TARDIS. Hullo, I'm Martha. I'm a doctor and former TARDIS resident and am more than happy to answer any questions you might have about the ship herself, assuming I've the answer.

Myself and a small group found ourselves aboard the TARDIS a little more than two months ago. We have spent the time since trying to gain access to other currently closed off areas of the TARDIS as well as attempting to figure out why and how she's brought us here.

At present, my theory is she's searching for the Doctor, her partner and a friend of mine. Searches of the TARDIS and internal scans have proven that he is nowhere aboard. Under normal circumstances, and let's face facts, when we were hiding in 1913 or that time we got stuck in 1969 were far from normal! the Doctor would never leave the TARDIS alone for this length of time, thus I can only conclude that something must have happened. Which has me very concerned.

A few things to know about life aboard the TARDIS:
TARDIS is an acronym that stands for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. As the name suggests, she is a time and space ship and she is alive. The TARDIS is aware of everyone on the ship through a low level psychic connection, which is how she is aware of our needs, as far as rooms and other things. This is also how she provides instant translation services via translation circuit so we can speak to locals wherever we are. She also has various ways of warning us of incoming danger. She has a personality of her own, and is very protective of those she's chosen, so if you are nice to her, she will be nice to you. She has a very long memory.

We are still attempting to figure out how we are being brought here, though I believe she is either searching for the Doctor or bringing people here who she feels can help. I've recently gotten access to the console room - which is the control room - and am going through logs. I will report with what I find.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to direct them to myself or any of us who have been here a while. I look forward to meeting all of you.
-Martha

Do those words mean something different here? Because if I'm not going to be taken at my word and instead going to be accosted in the name of medicine, I expect it to be done by a sexy nurse, not [...] that.
