welcome, new visitors

[modconcierge]

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?

Going on three years now, I think, if it's not there yet. Not a super long time on your scale maybe, but I kinda have stuff I need to do there you know? Promises to keep, friends to save, evil old geezer butt to kick; got a lot lined up.

And yeaaah, you might say that. Saved the Voidtrecker's original crew, fixed the time paradox they'd accidentally caused and restored their planet in the process, took the World Eaters out of the picture, and fought a giant, crazed void entity. It was a lot.

[familyalien]

You have time. Doubt they noticed you're missing. Time doesn't work the same between dimensions.

Oh good. Good for you! Oh yes! And that makes sense a time paradox. How did you fix a time paradox without a Tardis? What was the World Eater?

[hotheadwarmheart]

Darned if I know how it worked, but the Void Ministry did a... thing that let some of us go back in time and convince the Voidtrecker's original crew to not do the thing which would have caused the paradox to start with.

[He took another sip of his cocktail after that his expression more solemn when he lowered his glass.]

And the World Eaters were... exactly what they sound like. These... things, these weird, dark shapes that showed up in the sky of some worlds. And whenever they did? That world, and everything on it died. I don't think we ever found out where exactly they came from, and frankly I'm not sure I wanna know. The important thing is that they're out of the picture.

[familyalien]

You still have a paradox on why all of you went back and told them to not do the thing. Hence I said how you fix this without a Tardis and doesn't sound like it was.

Could be from another dimension. Least thats what it sounds like that they're made out of anti-matter.

Yes, that is important.

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea shrugged.]

Like I said, I don't have a clue how they arranged it all. But everything got fixed in the end so I'm guessing the Void Ministry scientists did something to compensate? I was mostly just along for the ride and some of the fighting and helped out where I could; I tend to leave anything involving time travel to people who don't get a headache just thinking about it too hard.

Could be. I know even just looking at a picture of them creeped me out, and that was more than just knowing what they did.

[familyalien]

They would have too have.

[The Doctor raises his glass]

Here's to us and traveling the multiverse.

Speaking of which, you never got to see my ship.

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea raised his glass in agreement, taking a sip.]

You're right I haven't. I take it you have it here someplace, maybe in the parking lot, or whatever this place has?

[familyalien]

[The Doctor gestures and points to the Police Box in the room.]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea quirked an eyebrow.]

Seriously? [After a moment though, he shrugged.] Eh, guess I've seen weirder things. Besides, after spending a decade getting around via dark corridor I'm not really in much of a position to criticize other people's modes of transport.

[He stepped away from the bar, gesturing for the Doctor to lead the way.]

Let's take a look then.

[familyalien]

[The Doctor leads him to the Tardis and inside]

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea's eyes widened when he stepped inside, and he gave an impressed whistle, but it likely wasn't quite the stunned reaction the Doctor was used to from humans.]

Pretty cool! Could use a bit more color, though.

[Gray and white color schemes would always be a bit too reminiscent of The Castle That Never Was for his liking. He walked in a bit further, looking around.]

So is this like a pocket dimension, or...?

[familyalien]

How'd you know?

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea shrugged]

Well I didn't know, per se, til you just confirmed it, but I didn't know what else it could be. I've never heard of one this massive, though. I've got one connected to my... well, pockets, that's powered by a combo of ambient magical energy and my own, but it's really only good for carrying around the same sorts of things a pocket or a backpack might be able to normally, just more of it; I wouldn't be able to stick, like... a whole office desk or something in there, but I could keep a whole bunch of notebooks, snacks, and other smaller things.

The power requirements for something like this though must be insane.

[familyalien]

You have no have no idea.

[The Doctor remarks with a cheeky reply]

Thankfully, I don't have to fill her up right now.

[hotheadwarmheart]

Heh, good. Cause I dunno about you, but I'm pretty short on munny these days, and I'm guessing the price of spaceship fuel is in the 'you don't want to know' range.

[He looks around a little.]

So how far does this extend anyway? Are there like multiple decks? Assuming 'decks is even the right word for the inside of a phone-booth ship.

[familyalien]

She's infinite
