The Doctor had had a very trying day so far. First, he had to rescue Rose from the time vortex, thus killing his proper body and starting up a regeneration for a new one; then, the regeneration had been abruptly stopped and he'd ended up in a dark room with a strange girl; on top of that, it had turned out that the room hadn't been dark, he'd been blinded, and had been smeared with blood and pushed towards a fire; to make matters even worse, he and the girl had then been split up, and he'd been put with a man named Jim. And he wasn't even getting into that. That was a story for another time. And now, here he was, waking up on the dirty ground, next to.. a white building. He lifted a hand to rub at his head and slowly sat up, studying the structure a long moment before he saw the words 'Post Office' on it and the Doctor lifted his eyebrows curiously. Up onto his feet (with a dusting of his pants and jacket) and he was pushing his hands through his pockets again, as if to check once more for the Sonic Screwdriver that he knew wouldn't be there. At least it could have been replaced with a banana. He liked bananas. Bananas were good.

He pulled his hands from his pockets after finding nothing there and turned to look around. Clearly, he was in a town. A town that looked like it was out of the nineteen fifties. But how had he ended up here? And where was Rose? Blue eyes focused onto the clock tower looming only about fifty feet away, before he looked at the large building across from him and then around once again. There certainly was plenty of forest, but something in the air tasted funny. This wasn't going to be good at all. Whoever had been able to take him from his TARDIS, from his regeneration, and put him here, had to be pretty powerful. And pretty smart. But he'd been in worse scrapes before (had he really? .. Maybe not..) and he would get out of here. He just needed to figure out what was going on.

Blue eyes lowered again, taking note of his shoes. Oh, they were singed. He hadn't realized just how hot that fire was. He was going to need new shoes. But he'd need the TARDIS for that.. And it was then that he noticed the little survival box, crouching down next to it so he could have a look. "What have we got here?" He mused allowed as the water, then the socks, the matches and the book were all pulled out. Hm. Well, they were all tossed back into the box and he lifted it up, tucking it under his arm. That could come in useful, later. Now.. where to?
