[A device clicks on, and a face appears on the network: a thin one with a large nose and brown messy hair. And glasses. Needs the glasses to see, you know. He grins, all teeth.]

Alright, then, this is neat, isn't it!

[He's not really saying that to anyone in particular. Don't worry, happens all the time. You'll know if he's speaking to you directly. Most likely.]

Never seen this before. Well, seen things like it, but nothing's ever quite the same in two places, yeah? Bit rubbish that everything in here's made of wood, makes my screwdriver a bit obsolete, but still...

[He laughs, and steps back from the device, standing with his hands on his hips. He's in his suite in the Wood Sector. Pretty nice place, if you ignore the lack of sonic-ing abilities.]

Right. So. I'm the Doctor, just the Doctor, thank you, and I suppose I was brought here, same as all of you. Now who's got something interesting to tell me about their time here?

[A pause, and time to ruminate over a question that's been in his mind since he got here.]

And does anyone know what this planet's base is? Doesn't seem like most other ones. A bit harder, strange in places. What's it made from?

Have you thought about fixing the 'doesn't do wood' thing? [Doctor, there's a smirking Jack Harkness on your screen. Who seems to be taking your current look in stride, as if he's seen this face before. And is rather amused at your frustration.]

[To say that Rose is in a state of shock when she sees this would be a great and terrible understatement. She recognizes the hair before anything, and then there's the glasses, and his smile, and then his voice. It's all so overwhelming to her that she's entirely caught up in the moment, and her hands reach out to touch at her screen as if she'll be able to actually feel him.]

Doctor?

[Her voice cracks, as reality sets in. The Doctor's here. Her Doctor, looking exactly like the one she left behind, not bowtied or in tweed or looking at her like she's a ghost being revisited. Instantly, disbelief that this is real sets in, and tears form in her eyes. After her dream she had a handful of weeks ago though, she can't take this for granted. ]

It's me, I'm here! Just -

I'm on my way, yeah?

[Tears spill forth and she laughs, now giddy as she cycles rapidly through all kinds of emotions. She knew he'd find her eventually, she knew it. And here he is! Mentioning being someplace that's made of wood, a place his screwdriver can't work.

The wood district!

Rose leaves the console at the cafe running as she takes off as fast as she can, stumbling around corners and skidding past people as she blurs past. She makes her way to the Wood district within a matter of minutes, and wastes no time in shouting out for the Doctor repeatedly as she keeps moving. He's going to hear her, she knows he will. So she doesn't stop, won't stop, can't stop. Not until she finds him and has him in her arms again. It's been entirely too long for her.]

Oh, hello, monsieur. I do not think this planet has a base, it is not precisely a planet, but a large turtle, called Asti. [He squints a little at the camera and gives the Doctor a grin.]

Interesting things, though, there are certainly plenty of those. Dragons that speak and doctors from other planets and all sorts of things.

[heartofgraces]

It's a turtle, not a planet.

[Asbel's still pretty tired but he's in his apartment and hey, he knows the answer to this one! He's here to help, Doctor.]

[takeittothemax]

Perfect timing, we could use a pharmacy around here.

[Wait, are you not the medical kind of doctor?

Too late.]

[bonvivant]

I'm Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and I'm afraid I too have just arrived, so I've got nothing interesting to tell you.

But, I must say, you're the first doctor I've seen cite a screwdriver as his primary tool. Not a conventional doctor, I assume?

[hammer]

Well, Jack seemed interested in the flying space whales. Does that sound interesting to you?

[ It's inane, but since Justin doesn't know what planet this is, other than Turtle Planet, that's the best he's got. ]

[ Jack recognizes the name (title?) but not the face. ]

There's more than one of you?

[chiot]

Uh, Monsieur, we're on a giant turtle, huh?

[virginprice]

There was one several months ago who called himself the Doctor too. I didn't realize taking that title as a name could be so common.

[It's more of an idle musing, wondering if they're connected somehow.]

As for something interesting, I have learned magic during my stay... though it doesn't seem to be working anymore.

[parallels]

[It's the Doctor. Not her Doctor. But the Doctor none the less. If anyone can get them out, can help this world, it's him. Her heart flutters with joy at the sight and sound of him and she rushes over to the console as fast as she can.

Clara opens up the console, sets it o voice, opens her mouth and... nothing comes out. She tries three times to find her voice only to end up in nothing. Back in the void, she had a purpose to fulfill. She had to speak to the Doctor, to warn him, to save him. But now... what to say? There's plenty to say, of course, but she can't seem to figure out how to begin.]

[untilmydarknessgoes]

What the hell is a screwdriver going to do anyway?

[selfsacrificing]

Given the planet's relative size and telluric status, I would postulate that it has a magma base.

[tactile_telekinesis]

[Kon's tired and generally just...a little run down. But the name sounds strange and something is ringing a bell. Just a different look and a different voice.]

Let me guess, with a capital D, right?

Doc, I can write several books about my time here and the level of suck it's reached.
