HMS Surprise Network

ARGS are very nice, but even I don't know what's going on all the time with the technical stuff.

So I'm thinking I'll stop being a distraction and wander around the Surprise a bit more. Anything I should definitely be seeing? Or avoiding? Or anything you think I should be avoiding that I'm definitely going to see now?

It's nearly Deanna's birthday
So at what point do we

Alright. I need something to do, or I'm going to start climbing the walls. If there's nothing actually useful that needs doing, does anybody want to spar?

[DOCTORS]

How are the TARDISes coming? Anything I can do?

Many of you... forgive me if I'm rude, but... it's so different! I know that I must appear to be equally unusual, and that's alright. We all come from different worlds, don't we? But, then... I only ask, because... I would like to try something new while I'm here! Hee! I've never had that chance before, and... it sounds nice! Maybe.. a little daring?

Only... I don't know where to go or where I would even start! Could.. someone help me? I hope that.. it isn't too much trouble.

This wasn't how I planned on retiring, but I'll take it.

But I'm on a spaceship full of strangers, which doesn't help. Major Kaidan Alenko, Alliance Navy. Served under Commander Shepard on the Normandy in the


You know what, this probably means nothing to any of you. I, uh I'm Kaidan, I'm 35, a soldier, and I'm from Vancouver back on Earth. I like cards, cooking, beer, and there's nothing better than a good steak sandwich and ... what exactly do you say when your reality's supposedly blinked out and you're supposed to introduce yourself to refugees from other worlds? This sounds like an extranet dating profile. I usually like long walks on the beach but I might be on crutches for a bit and we're without beaches, so that's out.

So, I'm not dreaming, which is cool. Legitimately on a bigass spaceship in space. And a planet based on Christmas and other PC holidays exists. This would be more awesome if I didn't have to believe everyone I knew's been blinked out of reality except me.

Yeah, that part blows. A lot.

How do we fix the universes so I can go back to my people?

So. How many of you bitches actually came up with some fuckin' brilliant new year's resolution but already failed four days in?

Come on. Tell the truth.

Anyway, I hope this place takes us somewhere more interesting next. Although, the snow was pretty nice. Haven't seen that since I was a homeless kid in Boston.

ROSE
She's right, you know. Donna, I mean. You found a way back.

CLARA
I'm sorry.

So, how many of you were tempted to stay behind on that planet?

So since we're technically in another reality is it still 2014? What the hell? Happy New Year.

Merdith/Izzie
Mystery solved, ladies.

So New Years was brilliant! Never celebrated a New Year before, I mean in reality everyday's a new year for me. Actually I don't really see the whole reason for the celebration... although I suppose any reason to celebrate is a good reason.

Absolutely love those twirly things that buzz when you twirl them.

[TENTH DOCTOR]

... So, I suspect that when you're done catching up with Donna, you might need a hug. That maybe you needed one a while before this, even. And I'm sorry I

I've got one for you if you want one. Also

[NORMAN CAS MOM]

What the hell do you mean, the multiverse is collapsing??

WHERE AM I. WHAT IS THIS PLACE.



DOCTOR

I've probably eaten about six candy canes in the course of the last six hours. The box is pretty much empty at this point.

If you suck on one long enough, you can get it into about the right shape for a shiv. You know, for when we land on the planet of the killer gingerbread men or whatever.

I think I'm a little hyped up on sugar. I want to jump on things.

What can I jump on?

A small man just informed me that I am not nearly cheerful enough, and that I am "drinking the egg nog wrong".

I am not sure how you can drink something incorrectly. I did not swallow improperly or choke.

I did, perhaps, prove the first portion of his argument correct when I told him to mind his own business and stop speaking.

Oh, this place is really just lovely, though, isn't it? It's so ridiculously festive and none of the trees are even trying to kill anyone this time. Always a plus, yeah? Does make me miss my mum, though...

Doctor, I've found your edible ball bearings. They come with cookies, oddly enough. :)

Doctor? Doctor what is this?

I don't know where I am.

Please tell me you can see this.

so, uh. spaceship, huh?

right. could still be the fever making a cool escape from

yeah, so hey. i'm glenn. 'sup?

I liked that last reality. I hope it stays stable, especially with the refugees that stayed. One world collapsing on them would be bad enough.

[castiel (celestialintent)]

I heard you met demon aliens. What were those like?

[norman]

My head's on its way to being sorted out. Ready to hold up your end of the deal?

[doctor (timeskipping)]

In all the excitement over her arrival, I don't think I said. I'm glad you got one of your near-impossibilities back.

Well. If I'm to be temporarily stuck anywhere, at least it's practically a space mall, with a space Starbucks. How corporate! And Space Blogging! I nearly like it.

Lots of little shops, eh, Doctor?

Hello, everyone. I'm Rose.

Fuck.

Fuck, fuck, FUCK!

Could the weird universe have picked a more inconvenient time to fuck with me? Seriously, universe, you suck.

Where am I? What the fuck is this? And who do I have to slay to get off this damn thing?

And more importantly, B? Shit, B, please see this. Please answer me. You were just waking up. I can't - who will - goddammit!

Hah! Well, I don't know about the rest of you lot, but I am quite satisfied with my findings in Florence. Always knew the Medicis weren't what they seemed. Long story! History remains uninterrupted, all that really matters. Well done, by the way! Not used to being in a group so wildly capable of following directions!

Ohhhh that was good fun! Look at how many letters I used to convey that appreciation! Four? Should have used ten. Better number! Only saying.

Next stop... well! Perhaps I'll get to decide my own next stop. The ARG is looking promising!
