1st Adventure ~ [Video]

[allthecoolgear]

{Hellooooooo, Fortuna! There is now a face on your screen! Maybe he's familiar to some of you, or maybe he's a complete stranger, but either way he'll be quite pleased to see anyone friendly.}

Hello, I've been told to use this! I'm fairly certain it's some sort of communication device, although you can never be sure with alien tech, can you? I'm hoping I'm right, because otherwise I'd be talking to myself. Again. {He looks slightly sheepish about the last bit.}

Anyway, I'm looking for my friends, and I'd be really grateful if someone could tell me where they are! I mean, I'm sure they can take care of themselves, but I'd really rather know where they've got to. One has red hair and a temper to match and the other is probably following her like a puppy.

I'm the Doctor, by the way! That's what people call me, anyway. Not really sure why. I call me that too. Still not sure why.

Thanks, all!

{He goes to turn off the camera, but fumbles it a bit before managing.}

[Nope, definitely not.]

Yuuko Ichihara is how I'm usually called. [Fake name that doesn't really explain anything, yup.]

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

That doesn't tell me who you are.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

Saying you're The Doctor is not exactly very informative, either, is it?

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

{He looks away. He can't argue with that, not really.}

...How do you know all those things?

[video]

[dreamgranter]

Care to venture a guess?

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

...
Judging by what I know, what I don't know, the fact that I'm a time traveler, and the fact that I'm on a planet I've never been on before, I'd say you've met me before.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

See? I knew you couldn't be that dull! [BACKHANDED COMPLIMENT...]

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

{...Going to ignore that.}
Hmm... Clever. That means I'm going to come here again, sometime in my future...

[video]

[dreamgranter]

[Aaaaaaaaand her face falls again.]

Who said anything about the future?

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

Well I'm 99% sure I've never been to this planet before. I've never even heard of Fortuna before today, which I suppose doesn't mean it didn't exist, but...

[video]

[dreamgranter]

People often don't recall ever being here, though. Not even you are immune to their memory tricks.

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

What- you mean they've messed with my memories? {He then puts his hands on the side of his face and closes his eyes and thinks, as though that would make him remember.}

[video]

[dreamgranter]

Indeed. Much like they have done to mostly anyone else who has once left and then returned to this place.

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

So I have been here before... {He thinks on this...}
But what's the point of going through all this trouble?

[video]

[dreamgranter]

That's what most of us have been trying to figure out ever since arriving. [With very little luck.]

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

...How long have you been here?

[video]

[dreamgranter]

Nearing the three-year mark. Not something many would handle with nearly as much grace as I have, mind you.

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

That's... quite a while, linear time.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

For most people. But not as much, for someone like you.

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

I suppose.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

Of course, getting stuck here for that long with nowhere to go might be especially tiring for someone like you. Not much running to do.

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

The running does get tiring after a while... Of course, not when I'm among friends.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

You'd better start making some new friends, then. It's going to be a long ride.

[video]

[allthecoolgear]

Well, making friends comes easily to me. {He chuckles.}

However, I don't think it'll be as long a ride as you seem to think.

[video]

[dreamgranter]

Are you hoping for the TARDIS to magically show up, by any chance?
