Alright then. This was not the Tardis. This was very much not the Tardis. Not unless she added some new rooms he'd not known about. Possible, of course. But still not the Tardis. He was almost certain of that. Air seemed normal enough, breathable. Sky... Okay that might be one of the odder moons he had ever seen. Was it naturally shaped that way or had something happened? Was that why he was here? Ohh! Now that could be interesting.

He pulled out his sonic, and aimed it at the moon. Odd, must be some sort of atmospheric quality that kept him from hearing anything when he activated it. More to unravel, he did love that bit. He pulled down the sonic to look at the redouts, then frowned. He did not like this bit, not at all. He walked to a stone and smacked the sonic against it a few times. He tried to use it again, and still nothing. What good was impact adjustment if it didn't actually FIX anything? Well then.

He would have to go to the Tardis and fix the sonic properly there. He turned. Turned again. A few more times for good measure. Nothing there. Trees. Rocks. Grass. Bit of odd sky. No Tardis.

"No sonic, no Tardis, what's next? Threats to blow up the planet?" He scolded the air around him. "If you're going to threaten me, do try to be a bit inventive, we've done this bit before." Well, hopefully that would sting the pride of whoever had done this enough that they wouldn't put him on twenty minutes to figure this out and save the world before they thought to destroy it.

So whatever he was dealing with was a bit of a copycat. Good to know that at least. But what else did he know? He knew he had been leaving the Ponds' with Amy and Kate, then some voice told him to Wake, then here he was. That would teach him to listen to any old call in his head. Except it wouldn't not really. Still, interesting bit of a trap. Bad for those who put him here, of course. So what did he have here? No Amy. No Kate. No Rory, but that was to be expected, really. So he was alone. Not so good at alone, but that was fine! He's been doing more alone while the Ponds were at their house, one quick adventure, fix whatever needed fixing, then find a way to pop himself into Unit, in Kate's chair, with a proper tea, while they tried to figure out how he vanished between them and all the Unit soldiers. Actually, he rather liked that plan. Good to have a plan.

Now all that was left was to figure out how to do it!

Geronimo!

[bigbadrose]

"Why do you always have to assume threats?" Rose folded her arms and leaned against a wall nearby. "Why can't the Master ever just challenge you to a nice car race?" She unfolded her arms and the amused grin spread. "He did you know. Well, you wouldn't know, you just got here. Mr. I'm-Always-Late-To-The-Party, Oh-yeah-and-I-think-Bowties-are-cool-now." You could easily be forgiven for thinking Rose was a figment of his imagination really. "But clearly, you're behind on schedule. Get working."

I am so bad at him, I'm sorry!!!!

[bowties_and_fezzes]

Both those brows went up as he spun to face her. "Well, I did ask for inventive I suppose. Rose Tyler, now I know this is a trap, or a dream. Perhaps I've been dreaming a trap. Must do a scan for psychic pollen once the sonic is working again. Alright, Rose Tyler who might or might not be a dream or a trap, who is talking a bit like Pond, tell me then what you think I should know."

Whoever used her face was going to regret this. Oh, putting him in a trap always went badly for people, but using her in a trap? Yeah, he'll play along for now. Then someone will have to answer for all of this. And if they somehow did rip her from her nice little life with that other of him? Demon's Run would look like a fairy story someone told a kid to sleep.

Nah!

[bigbadrose]

Her heart drops when he calls her a trap. She's taken it for granted too long here between the the other Doctors that she wasn't invisible to him anymore. She'd nearly forgotten how much it hurt when he could be looking right at her and not see her.

"Oi!" A blinking protest snapped her out of her own sorrow, about to take his hand and tell him no it really was her. "Like River's parents?! AS IF!" She stole his hand and firmly locked their fingers together. "You're in Nautilus. A multiverse nexus. And don't think you're off the hook for -- wait. I didn't even know if you'd recognize me. Belgium." LANGUAGE ROSE. Ten would be washing her mouth out with soap. "I forgot to find out when you're from. Whatever." Wry grin. "The others will be worse than me," she stuck her tongue out at him. "You can't use the sonic until you get bending back. BUT--" she gloated with SUCH a smirk, "I can~!" She dug out her own sonic, a replica of 9's with Bad Wolf written on the side and set it on to a basic scanner. "Ta-da!" She gave it over to him.

I can't hear him the way I can hear Amy and Me >.<

[bowties_and_fezzes]

"Ah, see, this is where you mess up, thinking you're so clever, Rose never got to meet River, now did she?" Oh. because that wouldn't have gone well. About as bad as Roe meeting Sarah Jane but worse. And with guns. Possibly handcuffs. He was pretty sure the guns bit should bother him more.

"But this Bending, and how you have a sonic, pretend I bought the trap and tell me more," so he could find the truth amid the lies. He was good at that, well, he was good at lying with a bit of truth mixed in, and that would have to do.

Still new, it usually takes me months

[bigbadrose]

Rose snorted. "She never met your 4th, 3rd, 8th lives, or the Master either, but you weren't listening when I said multi-verse nexus. It's between all universes. Pete's and yours included. Also? All the Disney universes! How fantastic is that?! Pinnochio and Jimminey Cricket are here! Oh! So is Romana! And Azmuth I don't really get what universe he's from. And my kids are from a superhero version of Paris. Totally weird." She flipped her cell phone over to Irene's guide, and didn't let go of his hand either, though she took back her sonic, and gave him her cell.

Usually I don't put someone out and public that is KNOWN until I have that voice >.<

[bowties_and_fezzes]

"Oh come on, it is River, I'm sure she's met all my faces, but you... I never let you out of my sight long enough, now have I? River's clever enough to hide who she is, but not enough to do it and still let you know. Because then I'd know." Because he is just that clever, and you know it if you really are Rose, thank you very much.

Wait... Romana was here? And the Master? No. No, that didn't make sense, none of this made sense. He hated when things didn't make sense, except when he loved it. But this not making sense was claiming to be Rose Tyler, and that was all kinds of impossible. Which of course meant it might actually be true.

"Your kids?" Rose had kids? What? Just... what? Weird enough that Amy was a mum, really. That was like finding out Donna had kids, just didn't work somewhere in his brain. Because that came from all those gross humans being humans messy bits. That somehow were not gross with River. Shut up. Just shut up.

He did pick up the phone though to look through the guide. "Got a bit of an upgrade, who did this work, then?" He wasn't really reading it, he was listening. For her. For proof of lie or truth. For anything in this world that might be a clue.

It's fine relaaaaaaaaax don't do it when you wanna go through it

[bigbadrose]

"Adopted here," Rose shrugged.

"Pete, and this place. You'll find something like it, though heck if I know what. Fluffy's is Jack's vortex manipulator, oh right! Jack's here too! So is Ianto, so they finally got married."

[bowties_and_fezzes]

Oh if this were true. It would be like Christmas. Like a whole mess of Christmas all at once. But without the bad bits. Well, except that if he were here and Jack is here and Rose is here there were bound to be bad bits. They attracted to them like metal filings to a magnet. Except without the metal bits.

Oh, if this were true. He wanted it to be true. And the rest of what she said... Was River here then? Oh... that was bad. And very good. Very very good. But also very bad. Speaking of trouble. River and... did she say others of him? Might have. Must have, but couldn't have. No memory of that. Should remember that, shouldn't he?

Well, one way to make sense of all this. "Right. First we have to find the Tardis, then see what she has to say." Because someone might be able to fake up Rose Tyler, maybe even River Song, but the one being in all the universe he'd always always know in an instant was his Tardis.And then he could fix his Sonic. And no, hasn't read the guide yet.

[bigbadrose]

"No," a sigh as Rose tried to watch his emotions and thoughts play out, but either this face was too new, or just too good at hiding them. "She has a soul, so that means she has to awaken here on her own accord. If you remember hearing a voice telling you to wake up, that's good, that was Nautilus itself. The city is alive and sentient and wants your help bettering the multiverse and not letting it go to rot... and I know what you're thinking, 'Surely the TARDIS would be better at that than the Master' and yeah, I agree with you, but it's not like Nautilus has supreme control or anything. That bending thing I mentioned earlier? It's based in will, and utilizing pure chaos to bend reality to what you want. So, of course, the Master is a genius at it. Picked it up even quicker than I did, I'm completely jealous." A shrug. "Nautilus uses chaos too. Little bit less than pure, obviously, s'also why so many people related to you are here, but you know how the TARDIS is, she'll come when she wants to, no good forcing her. And even if she was here.... it'd mean she wants to be, yeah? And believe it or not?" Rose poked the Doctor gently with a wry grin. "Some tiny part of you wants to be here too, even if you don't know it yet or understand why. It'll come to you."

[bowties_and_fezzes]

"Excuse me, Rose or not Rose, but if you know me at all you know I am already bettering the universe out there on my own." Well, with the Ponds sometimes, Rose way back when, who knew who all next. Didn't like thinking about the next, so he wasn't going to.

And of course some part of him wanted to be here. Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness, questions and puzzles and riddles, questions he didn't know the answer to. And the Master... alive. And here. Was this his doing then, or something more? Was this the cubes or something else? A lot of questions, questions that needed answers. Answers he would happily find if he had his sonic and his Tardis and his Ponds.

"And what about back home then? I was with Amy and Kate a moment ago, thought once I get free of here, pop back in ahead of them, give them a start for some fun. How would I go about doing that, then?"

Her answer would give him a direction, at least for the next set of questions, because whatever took him wasn't just going to let him go. Not that easily. But the way it stopped him could tell him loads.

[bigbadrose]

"Uni - verse," Rose gave him the most blatant stare, worse than when he couldn't see the London Eye as a big plastic round thing that could be used as a projector. "U - NI! As in singular." She gently took the Doctor's cheeks in both hands. "You have a really horsey face," headshake, FOCUS, "Listen, Doctor. Multi-verse nexus. As in actual infinity."

A sigh as she dropped the hands.

"Time is in the vortex there. It's fake here. WELL, that's how 8 described it. It's not fake to me, but what do I know? I'm not a TimeLord." More headshakes. "It's the same reason your past can be here at the same time without paradox. But only one person per all universes can be here at once. I don't know why. Time, DNA, TimeLord shenanigans, Rassilon. You tell me, but time in the universe is in the universe. This, is outside of it." She scritched her head trying to puzzle it out and shook her head again, "Like I said, something about time and DNA. I don't get it. But this place runs only on will. AND, if you flub up your timeline because you let yourself will it -- which would be a neat trick given it's you -- that's why we're all called here. To fix that kind of thing. People who ascend are given bonus powers and literally have to seek out flaws, sort of like computer glitches in universes. There's a whole big long thing, either read Irene's thing, or ask Fluffy. Err, the face I married, yeah?"

[bowties_and_fezzes]

"Wait, whoa. old up. Hold ad backup. Outside of the universe entirely. And it calls Time Lords?" Something in his eyes then, some hint of the anger and the rage that this face so often kept hidden. He grabbed her arms and was about to say something, then...

"Married? You married one of me? Here? Does River know? Are you married to River as well then?" Wouldn't be the first time they'd shared a wife, though usually not both at once. Now wouldn't that be interesting.

No. Doctor. Focus.

"The Tardis. You said she's a soul so she'd have to Wake on her own, is what you said. I don't suppose she's around but seeming as though she's empty, is she?" he asked, that seriousness back as quickly as it had gone. "And small boxes. Either all black" because this could be connected "Or clear with a smaller box inside that might be glowing. This is important. Might be the most important thing in all the universe, any universe, all the worlds, in all of time."

House. Or another like House. Well. This could actually be Rose then, or a projection built on a psychic capture of her. Which means she could be not Rose but think she was Rose and would act and feel as Rose, the only difference being the pains in his hearts when the program ended.

I regret nothing bahahaha

[borntolove]

There's a tall lanky fella; in red pinstripes with fur where the lapels should be on a suit. There's a not full grown beard/mustache but somewhere in between - which is also ginger. The hair is parted in a schoolboy way that is brown with ginger stripes. The tie is candy cane in design.

However, there is also those - shoes. That are still the same and those big brown puppy eyes.

"Welcome to Nautilus."

That really sounds like someone.

Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[bowties_and_fezzes]

Oh, he new that voice. Not the words of course, but that voice. But that voice couldn't be here, not really. It was impossible, which meant that he wanted to know how, of course. He spun around to face the speaker and stopped. Just stopped. And stared.

"Wait, what?" he asked, looking him up and down. What in the world had his last face done to himself. Not that this could actually be his last face, of course. "This trap gets odder and odder, doesn't it?" he asked the double of himself. "Alright then, bit of a game. Don't suppose you're actually going to tell me what this is all about? Good to know whoever set this up is color blind. Might need to use that bit later."

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[borntolove]

Ten stares back. It's not very effective. And is wondering why he's being stared at. "Did I say a funny thing?"

A pause; "Whut what?"

Ten pops his mouth; "You're in a subconscious universe that is in the nexus of the multiverse. Which therefore can pull anyone from anywhen and anywhere in all of space and time including parallel universes."

Staring even more- "What do you mean whoever set this up is colour blind? Rose would argue you that my rainbow coat is worse."

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[bowties_and_fezzes]

"I mean when I used to say I wanted to be ginger, I meant proper ginger, not whatever this is you've gone and done to yourself. And this sky? I mean, really. Whoever created this trap so far has proving derivative and colour blind. That's all I'm saying. They've made one mistake though worse than even whatever it is you're meant to be and the sonic not working."

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[borntolove]

Ten stares a long time at someone - sort of how someone stares at War Doctor. So that's the face - that's the face that comes out of the burning Tardis. The face River loves. That loves River.

Slowly, Ten exhales and circles slowly around Eleven as if examining how the regeneration came out and stops in front of Eleven.

One could argue about you not existing, Eleven. After all, Ten doesn't plan on returning but running off with Rose and maybe Jack and Ianto into the multiverse.

However, it seems still no matter what, things do go on. Things don't change in the conscious universe.

"Oi! It is proper ginger. Grew it myself." Which then Ten changes back to how he should be - blue pinstripes and all.

"Yeah, that's the thing. You'll manipulate the chaos from the In-between yourself in order to get your sonic functions back."

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[bowties_and_fezzes]

"Chaos? Maipulating chaos? Alright, that's a bit of clever, something new. Not sure where that came from, but I'm listening. We've had the Dream Lord, and the Pandorica, bit of a spoiler there if you're real, sorry bout that, we've even had Bob, scared Bob, poor Bob, always liked Bob. So this trap is Nautilus then? And Chaos energy. Well, I've got to pop back to the Ponds and Unit, but I'll give this a bit, see where it goes. Alright then, past me, let's hear the speil."

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[borntolove]

Oh - that explains on why someone is so spectacle more than usual, anyway.

"Go ahead ask me. Ask me something only you would know and no dream demon or creature would be allowed to find inside your mind."

A whut face; "It's not Harry Potter where you point a wand and speak Latin. You handle the chaos energy with your mind and your will. Rearrange the molecules in the space.

In-between all the universes thar's chaos energy - it's like anti-matter. An entire space of antimatter because it will rip you apart if you go out in it; however it's also the building blocks of this place and creates entire worlds if individuals have the still to wield that raw energy."

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[bowties_and_fezzes]

Oh dear Ten, no, sorry, this is just what the future looks like. The man who forgets.

"Something only I would know? Even if I had a thing to ask, if you're not real, asking would open it to the trap, now wouldn't it. Clever though. Nice try. Besides, like I can remember what you knew at that point? My whole life is like River's diary to you. Ah! River, you've met her yet? Won't give away her spoilers, but if you're real? At the Library... Be good to her, would you? Better than I was, if you can. Wonderful woman, River Song."

"Now." He clapped his hands. "Who needs a wand, I've got a sonic. At least, I usually do. Will have again once I figure out what is wrong with mine. But fine, let's say I'm buying this, then you know what I need to fix my sonic. So tell me, where is the old girl?"

Antimatter was interesting, but without a sonic and without the Tardis, no real way he could test that claim. So that can get put aside for the moment, but oh wouldn't he have fun bringing the Ponds to antimatter space? Well, maybe not Rory, that's just tempting fate and all that. Oh! Maybe a date with River, drop back and break her out of Stormcage. This would be her kind of thing, if this were real.

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[borntolove]

There's a look in those brown eyes when the Library is brought up; not as hurt as he probably should be but still there's hurt; "Yes, I have. She's here. And we talked about that. I how couldn't save her."

There's a twitch in his face; and doesn't want to rain on himselves parade but how happy someone is about River - Ten can't help but see the same or nearly the same look that his own self would have about Rose.

Is this how it feels like? With his younger selves? How Four has Sarah and Romana and Leela in his hearts; Three with Jo Grant.

Is this how they see Ten with being so mushy with Rose?

Like Ten just forgot the other companions? Except he hasn't forgotten them but like when he met older Sarah Jane - loves her but there's too much time. Too much distance between them. Sarah will never know Gallifrey was ever gone.

"Her soul isn't here." Ten remarks dryly as if it's been quite some time that someone's been with the Tardis - well one that's alive.

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[bowties_and_fezzes]

And of course he didn't have the thoughts between, so while he was preparing some quip about if it was more stupid to mimic River for a trap or actually put her in one with him, probably something about forgotten Angels... he thinks the next bit... is still about River. Because if River's body was here but her soul wasn't? Eleven would be just as broken. Well, as broken as this face could get.

"Someone brought River's body here for a trap?" he asked, his voice dropping to that cold stillness that it got so very rarely. The Ponds would know the look in his eyes now. And few others. Well then. Whoever had done this was going to pay. They were going to pay. No matter how many favors he had to call in. And there were more. There were always more. And friends who would ride with him, even if they thought he was going too far.

"Someone needs to be reminded what happens to people who think that trying to get to me through the people I love." This expression might be familiar to Ten, it is the closest to his own face that Elven gets, but his face near the end.

"This game is over now," he said, pitching his voice to be heard by whoever might be running this. observing him, waiting to see how far he could go before he snapped. Well here it is. "This little game, this test, this trap. We are done with that now. And now you will FACE ME YOURSELF."

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[borntolove]

Ten can feel a chill run through his body; as that voice is a reminder of how bad someone got here.

"No. The Tardis." Is the dry remark back; a deep inhale of a breath of it's okay; "River's fine..."

A pause; "She is - currently with someone from another universe that has my exact face... and The Master is also living with her. The prime minister one of him."

Re: Oh dear goddess. Here we go.

[bowties_and_fezzes]

Okay, now wait. Wait. Just... "Wait what?" Give him a second. "River is here, with someone who looks like us... and the Master, also alive somehow. And it is the Tardis who is here without a soul?"

Just to be sure he's got this right.

"So this is just basically These are your lives, Doctor edition? Alright, well, I'm here now, we'll get this sorted out. I'll need a desk, maps, and a plate fo jammy dodgers. And a fez."

Alright, so first he had to find River, then Idiris. Or maybe Idris then River. How long would she have this time? Still, River would be of help finding her.

"Starting to think this might all be real. No one is this clever, well, except me. Us I suppose. But really, what was I thinking with that hair?"
