[A boy in a school uniform with flaming red hair is on the network screen. Except there is something a little older than that about him, a hardness behind his eyes. He’s currently slouched on a park bench near the fountain, arms crossed and looking decidedly pouty as he glares into the camera.]

Doctor, if this is a joke it’s not one I’m laughing at. And if Tegan put you up to it I am very disappointed in you both. And warn her to start hiding her shampoo again.

[Clearly done with this conversation, he rolls over onto his back and lies down on the bench. He’s so thin and wiry, he practically disappears at this angle.]

Oh, and whoever designed these-

[He waves his hand towards the device recording.]

Give them a better soundcard.

'Doctor'...who?

[rudeandginger]

The Doctor. He's rather hard to miss.

[valentineluke]

Wonderful. Yet another to add to Mr. Saxon's nemesis list.

'He' is here in a trio I've nicknamed 'Ten', 'Smith', and 'Leather' to lessen confusion.


(OOC - Luke is a friend of The Master's aka Saxon version. He's keeping tabs on Doc&Co in case Master returns.)

[rudeandginger]

Don't tell me he's bumped into his regenerations again, the fool.

I'm looking for the blond one wearing a vegetable. We're not on Gallifrey, are we? It's just that I just came from there and I'm not keen on repeating the experience.

[valentineluke]

City collects from countless worlds and timelines.

This place has no actual name other than 'City'. As for your Doctor, none in the trio fit the description.

[rudeandginger]

Don't be ridiculous, every place has a name. Even Earth names are more creative than just 'the city'.

[valentineluke]

Ask around if you wish.

[rudeandginger]

[He crosses his arms petulantly.]

I will. Who are you, anyway?

I could fix that--your soundcard.

[Honestly, Jack is a bit worried when he spots the man just lying on that park bench. People don't usually do that unless they've got a good reason for it, do they?]

Hey, uh... Are you okay, mister?

[valentineluke]

Luke Valentine. And you are...?

[rudeandginger]

There's no point, I'm not staying long. It's just rubbish to put something on the market of that ridiculous quality. A toddler could build it.

action;

[rudeandginger]

Hardly. I seem to have been abandoned by my traveling companions.

[One ice-blue eye slowly cracks open and fixes Jack with a hard look.]

Who are you?

[rudeandginger]

Turlough.

[valentineluke]

Welcome to the City, Mr. Turlough.

[rudeandginger]

It's hardly welcoming, this place. What's the point of it?

[am_i_being_rude]

[ This place, seriously. If people don't stop coming in and out of it. ]

You go see the deities to complain about the sound in the devices, I want to see it. Far as I can tell though, really not a joke.

[candothat]

"Not staying long," of course.

[That's what they all say.]

Is technology more advanced in your world?

[valentineluke]

A 'zoo' of sorts.

[rudeandginger]

What world are we on now?

video;

[candothat]

In, more than on. There is no access to other planets from this one, or access to most of this planet, if it exists.

[rudeandginger]

Deities? Don't tell me I've landed on some backwater planet who worships anything that falls out of the sky. I've had quite enough of those, thank you.

[wouldnotkindly]

Are you sure they didn't just get lost? [Not yet realizing that this guy might be a new arrival.] This city is pretty big.

Oh, uh— I'm Jack. [He offers him a hand.]

[rudeandginger]

[There's a bit of a pause from Turlough's end, as his face hardens. If the Doctor doesn't show up soon and get him out of here... he doesn't do well being trapped.]

We'll see about that.

action;

[rudeandginger]

I've seen bigger.

[Turlough sits up at last, but keeps his arms crossed over his chest.]

Turlough.
