Day 385 | Action | Open
The first sense that came to the Doctor was the sound of the ocean, roaring as waves ebbed and flowed at a leisurely pace. Dark brown eyes blinked, trying to process how he got here, but the only thing that came to mind was how much he hated oceans this very moment. Oceans that contained beaches that brought back too recent memories he didn't want to dwell on any time soon.

"Yeah? And how was that sentence gonna end?"

"Does it need saying?"

Blinking once more he's out of his reverie, glancing downwards to his -- orange jumpsuit? It wasn't one of his that resided in the TARDIS for limited oxygen adventures or being out in space. "What?" He's startled, thinking perhaps he truly has lost track of time and apparently changed clothes? But these weren't his trainers either.

All his senses are registering that this certainly wasn't the TARDIS, nor his clothes, nor anywhere he recognized immediately off hand. Gradually he turns, seeing little huts and BBQ stands, and in the near distance a large building complex and a stable of sorts. Hastily he makes his way towards these buildings in hopes people could explain where he might be, during which he's being informed by his communicator a quick run-down of his current situation and location.

His affinity for shops took the edge off his irritation and confusion as he approached the convenience store. Popping his head in, he's relieved to see other people before he steps in. "Has anyone seen a big blue police box anywhere?"

	"Don't think you'll be seeing that around here, I'm afraid," Jack advises him with some regret - he misses the TARDIS - from the doorway. Of course he followed the Doctor into the store when he caught a glimpse of him. Even after everything, he'd follow this man anywhere. (Reply to this) (Thread)

He could recognize that voice anywhere. Spinning around, the Doctor is now face to face with one Captain Jack Harkness and meets him with a wide, toothy smile. There's a tone of relief hidden in that smile, as the Doctor wasn't one to be fond of missing things and having no recollection of possibly being captured and brought here, let alone losing a TARDIS, wasn't welcomed.

"Jack!" He closes the distance between the two and doesn't hesitate to bring him in a hug. Hands are still touching him as he pulls back, "How did we get here?"

The hug is returned with warm enthusiasm. He may not be as mad about the Doctor as he used to be, but it's still really good to see him.

"Doctor," he acknowledges, as the Doctor pulls back, and he's smiling widely. "Can't really answer that one, I'm afraid. Some sort of transmat, I guess, but I'm sure you've worked that out already. They can pull people in from all across time and space, and other dimensions or realities too."

Unfortunately, that had crossed his mind. The Doctor didn't want to acknowledge it, but he had a feeling something like that had happened. Was it sad that he thought being taken captive was an easier and more hoped-for explanation?

He would inquire about Jack possessing another vortex manipulator, but then realized they probably wouldn't be standing here arm-in-arm. "How long have you been here?" The Doctor looks around, as if this shop could provide him some clues.

Oh, Jack still has his wrist strap, but thanks to the wardens it can only perform a selection of relatively basic of tasks here. (Apart from being as virtual as everything else here, of course.)

"Six months, give or take," he responds, watching the Doctor look about him, wondering what he'd make of this place. "You've just arrived, I assume?" He would have heard about it before, otherwise, he's fairly sure!

He pauses, because the last couple of Doctors he'd seen here - albeit briefly - had had a different face to this one, and the other had the same face but was half-human. He'd really like some context here. "When did they snatch you from, Doctor? Rose? Martha? The Master? Donna?"

	Luke is just a little perplexed. The galaxy far, far away doesn't have Doctor Who, so he has no idea what the guy is talking about. Still, he's curious. "What's a police box? Although I do suspect that if I have to ask, I probably haven't seen one..." he said. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Oh, like a hologram, you mean?" he asked. It wasn't terribly common to see use of technological holograms outside of communication, but it wasn't unheard of, certainly. Luke didn't think it could be Force-related, although he couldn't feel it strongly to know for sure. "I'm not sure if it's actually here or not. Have you been told about this place?" he asked.

	Now that they are back in the regular prison and everything seems accounted for, Martha finds herself in teh convenience store for some snacks. It's just a normal day after all. And then... was it him? Was it really him? Martha poked her head out of the aisle. "Doctor? Doctor!" She dropped her basket as she ran toward him. (Reply to this) (Thread)
