welcome, new visitors

There isn't much fanfare for the new crop of visitors who have come in this month, but what they encounter is quite wondrous. Is it a cruise ship? Is it a hotel? Is it a tiny planet? No one can give them a straight answer, but all are encouraged to take part in the buffet, where visitors may find an assortment of foods both familiar and unfamiliar to them. There is an open mic night happening in one of the lounges on site, featuring staff and visitor performances. Or there are a handful of shops to browse if you're amenable to trading.

Visitors will find that the Hotel Multiverse at the Edge of the Cosmos between Canons (its official name) is very much alive beyond the bustling crowd. In fact, it might just be listening to you and anticipating your needs.

As for the rest? Well, that's up to you. You may as well socialize, right?

What beings would you like to hear about, Luke?

I believe in physics. Just a tiny bit. [The Doctor's voice squeaks and he's quiet.]

I never made time to go see him again.

[And he should have had.] Too much running around the universe, me.

[He remembers the day he got the call that the Brigadier passed away. It hurts that they're both gone and the pouty face on The Doctor proves that. But if there's any chance for an again - he will welcome it.]

Who knows who we'll see from beyond our universe. But yes, Kate will be surprised.

Well he'd want me to ask about Solonians, I'm sure. They were always interesting to me, with just how many various forms there are.

Again, I only know of you, I don't know you. But I highly doubt that. [A laugh, you have a reputation but then his look gets a bit more serious.]

We learn to build a life without you, but there are moments that can only happen once Doctor. Even for a lord of time.

[Luke should be more polite all things considered but his response is somewhat icy. Sorry Doctor. But he softens a little, he doesn't like to hold any of that anger inside.]

The good news is if we do start popping in from our little circle of the universe we've got a pretty good shot at figuring out this whole Jetson Hotel and a desire to want to get to know it.

That's because of thar genes. They're able to mutant in various forms. I've run into them in the 30th century, in 2540 and on Karn. The first, two times where without Sarah Jane. When Sarah and I ran into them on Karn. Blimey, I haven't seen them for a long while. Anyways - the Sister of the Karn, eternal flame was dying. Meanwhile, Sarah and I where staying with Mehendri Solon. Who wasn't hostile to us to a point. Until, he brought up that he was rebuilding a body for the evil Time Lord Mobius.

You know - this isn't the best story to chat about the Solonians. I barely met any, outside of the few random ones hiding out on Karn. This is mostly a cult story with a dash of Frankenstein to the story.

In the end, everything worked out, the Sisterhood's fire continued to burn thanks to yours truly and Mehendri's work was destroyed.

[He doesn't know how to reply because he knows they have to build a life without him its just not a thing he thinks about often. But making money is a thing for humans.]

Now, the adventure with Jo - oh Jo, is much more about the Solonians than that adventure was.

If this place works how I think it does. It will be possible to see them younger and Rose to not be trapped in that other universe.

Just seemed interesting. Mum was always interested in the various people. It's one of the reasons she spent a lot of time getting people home who ended up lost.

[It's more once you see the sort of things that you show them Doctor you can't just easily put it aside. Luke has only seen such things secondarily, he can't imagine what it's like first hand. ]

Yeah? Well I mean I want to know about them so.

Hopefully as long as it's not like one of those 'she named me Luke after something in her past which was me all along' situations.

I have a lot of adventures with your mum. She had adventures with three of me. That's my Sarah Jane.

Jo? She was brilliant too. Bold. Daring. Kind. Open to other beings. She worked for UNIT while, I was thar. And your mum was a reporter, giving UNIT questions. The Brigadier is the one who gave me the job. After, I was found unconscious on the grounds. UNIT took me, I had to prove to them I was The Doctor again because I looked different. I had gained The Brigadier's trust because I was able to help him stop the Yetis.

I can imagine. She was always in for an 'adventure'.

I grew up with many members of UNIT being like a second family. It's one of the reasons I joined in the first place.
That and I mean where else do you put a super human with an exorbitant amount of knowledge about aliens and space.

Good for you. Oh yes!

[The Doctor beams. Especially, with what happened with the Sontarans]

Did you want to go inside the Tardis?

You have it here then?

Yes. She's here.

[The Doctor signals for Luke to follow him to The Tardis. The outside seems to be a lighter blue since the last time they met]

Come on inside.

[The Doctor unlocks the door to allow them both inside]

[It's very different from the last time he's been around it, and honestly much different than it's always been described to him.

But unlike most who wander through it's doors he's barely surprised by that and he doesn't give the Doctor the 'bigger on the inside' fix because the pet dog that rolls up behind them making itself very at home regardless of the change lived on the edge of a collapsing star in his attic so.]

I don't suppose it goes though or you would have been out of here already.

Edited 2024-10-07 02:06 (UTC)

[The Doctor is disappointed on the lack of bigger on the inside but this is a first]

Actually -

[The Doctor gestures to a computer screen on the other side]

The Tardis is doing readings on that rift. And is sorting though the multiverse on which passage way is back to our universe. She's looking for matching space-time coordinates. We could in theory go right now. But no idea what universe we'd end up in.

Universe hopping used to be possible back in the old days; when The Time Lords were still around. You could pop back and forth and be back for tea.

[Given he's Earth grounded himself with the occasional slipping away; he has to go back.]

[The inner workings of the TARDIS are more thrilling than the mechanics of how it appears.]

I think I would like to stay in the universe I know than start hoping around might get lost and who knows how much hoping around it would take to get home. Mum and Martha have told me just how great you are at dropping people off.

[It does actually give him some comfort that the Doctor is working on it.]

Oh, it's not hard to hop back. Just so long you have the right coordinates.

Yeah, she, got on me about her drop off when we met up again. I thought it was near her place.
Besides, I was in a bit of hurry with dropping your mum off. Gallifrey was calling me.

Oh, Martha Jones. Is she doing alright?

Allegedly. Course if you don't know when you'll be it makes the location sort of moot.

As she should have, there's a big difference. Thankfully for her she was always very crafty.

Yeah she's alright, still works for UNIT and we've worked together on occasion.

Been in E-Space before. Definitely good to have coordinates.

Good to hear.

Where do you want to go if given the choice?

To say the least, but just because you have the coordinates doesn't mean you'll have the time. Yeah? I mean technically.

I dunno if I have any particulars, I guess I've never thought about it? I am fairly contented being right on earth, even given my history. There is supposed to be a rather large market out there somewhere from some of the travelers I've helped have said.

A sort of universal trading floor.

She's a time machine. Try to keep up.

That would be Akhaten. Most shops in the universe.

Again; do not much trust you. Sorry Doctor.

Something like that is just interesting for the knowledge of what sort of things are important to others.

Quite alright. We barely know each other.

It was good meeting you, Luke. And I'm sure I'll see you around.

You track record is not great. Mum isn't the only one who tells such tales. Bit of a habit with you it seems.

I wont hold my breath yeah?

Oi! If I want to settle, I'll settle. I stayed in a Town called Christmas for hundreds of years of keeping them safe.

And I promise you and your mum that I will keep you safe.

Not a matter of settling more that you're not a great driver mate from what I've been told.

Good news is I'm rather good at keeping myself safe.

Did I miss a funny thing? [Such rudeness with this remark]

Good. Glad to hear. [He is.]

It depends on what you define as funny? I mean not that you often check back in but when you drop people off from these fantastical visits you're not known to drop in at the right place, or even the right time. [Think about it Doc, think about it. Remember most of your former companions work for UNIT. He's heard the stories.

It's not that he doesn't trust you, it's just he doesn't trust you.]

Course that being said there is no promises here. Here is still very much an unknown.

I don't know how you can judge how I drive my Tardis when most of the time I don't have a destination.

Oi! I've gotten my companions back to the right place and time before. Mess up a few times...

And I love unknowns. [:D]
