In The Tardis

I thought it’d be interesting to visit Mars University while we were here. It might’ve been a mistake to visit the casinos with my brother first though […..] I think I might’ve joined a fraternity.

Who: Alyssa, Death, and Sherlock
What: playing the tables
Where: the casino
When: after this
Warnings: TBD

( Two pairs of wings and a Sherlock walk into a casino )

Seems I hit a surprisingly lucky streak at the roulette table. If anyone would care to take some of these chips off my hands...? I'm told they come in handy if you're into paying for the local entertainments.

As for me, I'll be returning to the casino floor. The card tables have yet to bend to my will.

Have you changed your mind, my sister? Is Nada's release from hell no longer a priority?

Or was this your doing, Delirium?

Who: Alyssa and Kol
What: playing Black Jack
Where: Wong Casino
When: day two of the plot
Warnings: well, probably swearing. Will update anything else

( Alyssa would flirt if it distracted people enough for her and Kol to win )

I don't know if anyone else here skateboards, but we now have a skatepark in one of the rooms.

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.

Who: Alyssa and Becket
What: drinking and exploring
Where: the TARDIS hallways
When: after this
Warnings: alcohol and probably some flirting

( And lo I found the swimming pool...again )

[Filtered away from Wylan]

There is a different version of Wylan here. He's been collecting materials for bombs, but right now I think all he can manage is a stink bomb. But, Chessie is checking to make sure there aren't any traps in the hallways.

The insects are searching the vents.

Please be careful.

You're here, aren't you? You criminals. Thought you could escape all the way out here but you can't run long from Pekka Rollins and you can't run long from me. I'm the Prince of the Barrell and I'm coming for you all.

[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.

Even though that last stop wasn’t exactly the smoothest, I definitely enjoyed my birthday. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Husband, you definitely know Hw to do some spoil in’. Think Emma liked it too.

I would like to go back to my party, please. I worked very hard and everyone was having a fun time.

It's not me, it's not me, it's not me. Saints, it isn't me. It's not Kuwei, either. Who do I look like now?

People changing ages. Is that something that normally happens around here?

Granted, I'm still pretty new here.

Who wants to get drunk with me?

There's something wrong with Kaz.

He's [...] young. Very young.

Has this happened to anyone else?

What's happening?

How do we change him back?

Being stuck in the medbay aside, I'm going to take a moment just geek out that I'm on the freaking TARDIS.

All of this future tech is so cool.

Hello fellow TARDIS people! I'm Morgan Stark.

Water people tried to abduct Enid.

They were trying to take her under the island.

I sleep rarely.

But when I wake up in my bed and remember five seconds later I'm travelling through space and not in Wonderland, I feel some sense of fucking disappointment.

Also if someone is missing a pair of shoes, Chessie stole them so...sorry and I'll happily return them.

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?

It makes sense that the TARDIS has been getting rid of people's possessions and special-interest rooms once they've left, but what's been happening to their Pokémon? They weren't brought aboard with them, they were other-world acquisitions. They agreed to accompany us. Surely they aren't being returned to the wild without a shred of explanation. What's been happening to them?

[a few minutes later]
At least three more have disappeared: Tandy, Natasha and the woman who spoke in unnecessarily complex sentences.

I know we've been told the TARDIS chose to take us because she thought we might be useful in helping her find the Doctor.

I also know what we've been told that the TARDIS has been sending people back who don't want to be here.

These explanations are unsatisfactory. I can think of more than one person who wishes not to be here who remains aboard the ship, and I also don't believe that Tandy yearned for home.

I think we're being misled.

I've just realized this is the first time in my life I've spent the time surrounding Yule in a place with much snow. It makes me feel strangely more homesick than I've been so far, I suspect it's wondering how the family I'd already been parted from before I came here would think of it.

At least it's given me a decent excuse to look at shops besides the booksellers, even if the chances of the people I'm thinking of when I shop arriving here are small.

Lady handed me this and said someone would explain the situation.

Meaning no disrespect I don't give a shit what the situation is I have to get back who do I talk to about that?

Weird to have Thanksgiving without my family. Even missed Ellie’s marshmallow topped sweet potatoes. And now I miss Morgan.

[….] it’s definitely just a coincidence that when I went looking for booze in the kitchen I found marshmallow flavoured vodka, right?

...With Thanksgiving arriving soon, I have to remember human rules with feasts. The meat is both dead and cooked, not just cooked.

[Filtered to Kol]

Are you locking down that shit with Davina? Because the will they, won't they started to feel like a teen drama. And you two are too damn adorable.

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.

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

This phoneish thing tells me it's my birthday!

Happy Birthday, me.

[...]

This isn't pathetic at all.

...

Uh...

Just wondering if anyone has seen Chessie? He hasn't shown up in two days and some confirmation that he's...okay would be great.

There's no vorpal sword right? So nobody can separate his head from his body?

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

[Filtered to Dream]

Tea tomorrow?

I have a painting for you.

Who: Inej Ghafa and Alyssa Gardner
Where: Alyssa's room
When: Late evening, after her spat with Kaz.
What: A proper introduction
Warnings: TBD (will update)

Status: Closed - in progress

( You're not allowed to eat any of the bugs in that room, do you understand? )

Well, this is not my ideal choice for a resurrection. However, given where I just was, one can hardly afford to be picky.

I'll take my bloody second chance any way I can get it.

HOLY SHIT!

THE TARDIS

POKEMON

I wish Daniel were here. Or Matthew. Or Dad, honestly. Or Harry.

Are we sure Harry isn't here? This is something that is so much more likely to happen to him than me. Or it would have been, before

So I get to just go out there and try to become a Pokemon Master or whatever?

This place is marvelous, and I've already made a new friend. It's a cute young pup with the most astonishing markings, which I would say mimic that of a tiger if this wasn't, in fact, a dog.

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 -

Why is there a room entirely dedicated to what appears to be torture devices in the TARDIS?

I would appreciate an explanation.

Kaz.

I feel such a fool.

It's for exercise.

Saints.

Jesper.

It’s for exercise!

I seem to have befriended some sort of strange, floating cat creature. At least, I think it is a cat. I am not quite sure what it is. But it does float and grin a lot.

I am not sure if it belongs to someone, or if it is from Avalon.

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?

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?

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.

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.

If this is a dream, I don't think I want to wake up.

I'm on the freaking TARDIS and it's landed in Avalon of all places?

It's like something out of my fever dreams.

And I think I'm okay with that.

I should introduce myself. Hello TARDIS people! I'm Ella Lopez.

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.

Okay, is this some sort of "join the Avengers" hazing? Cause if so, not cool, Barton.

Seriously though. I'm supposed to be celebrating Christmas, not whatever this is.

[Filtered to Dream]

Just so I'm clear for future interactions, you don't like to be touched, right? It wasn't anything I said?

I really need to remind myself to poke my head out of my room more often. Hi, new people! There are so many of you! I'm Ray Palmer, I've been on the TARDIS for awhile and I'm sorry I haven't made the rounds to greet you. I kind of get to working on my own projects and lose track of time.

I know you've all been pulled from your homes and that's not great but you do kinda have to admit this is pretty amazing.

Since we're all stuck here indefinitely, I think we should get to know each other? I'll start.

Hey, My name is Peter, and I'm from Queens, NY. Born and raised. I recently got my own apartment in Manhattan. Sometimes you got to start fresh, right?

My favorite food is my Aunt May's cherry pie. My favorite colors are red and blue. I like to build things. Take things apart and make them better. I skateboard. Haven't in a while. Life finds a way of keeping you busy.

So. Yeah. What about everyone else?
