[He's doing something. When is he not. The last time these people started showing up, Rose came back for a little while. So many people have showed up between now and then and he's not sure he knows what he feels like now that it's happening again. So he's going to sit and keep working and pretend like he doesn't notice, even though he's actually

[Hey now. You look familiar. In a sort of guilty ridden, not really liking you but adoring you at the same time kind of way. It's complicated. He's the Doctor, what can he say?]

What are you up to there?

[am_i_being_rude]

[Well. Yay? That sort of self-loathing streak is always fun.]

Nothing too specific this time. Someone managed to lower the capacity output of this while attempting to use it for... something it shouldn't have been used for. So it's broken.

Yourself?

[likesthenoise]

Oh fixing broken things. Yes, you always liked to do that. Or I did. We did. Still do. Yes! Moving on.

[Introduction times.]

I'm the Doctor, basically you in the future, and I'm watching you...me...you...yes. That. How do you do?

[am_i_being_rude]

[He's really glad for the introduction because sneaking suspicions don't confirm things nearly so well as introducing yourself.]

Future me? Which version are you then? [Slightly more wary than might have been otherwise since he was effectively regenerating just before getting here.]

[christmas_nazi]

[Have another alien, Doctor. And one that really isn't very happy. She had things to do and things to worry about this was not on her agenda.]

Excuse me [A smile that really doesn't cover how displeased she is with this turn of events. It's too sugary sweet.] Any idea where we're at because this is not Roswell and as much as I hate that place, I have a life there that I need to get back to now.

[am_i_being_rude]

You're in the City. It's definitely not Roswell, although the strangeness can be comparable. How is Roswell shaping up lately? I haven't been there in a while now.

[christmas_nazi]

Small and stupid and hot. I don't mind the last part so much. [She's giving him a puzzled look now.] You've been to Roswell. God, you're not one of those idiots who show up for the alien crash enactment, are you?

[She particularly hates those people. They swamp Roswell, celebrate the night her ship crashed and her family died not to mention they have this ridiculous idea she's short, wrinkled and green. Well, not that they know it's her]

[am_i_being_rude]

Well... I didn't show up for the crash. Just seemed to happen sort of at the same time. A lot, actually. Don't like tourists?

[timeswrong]

[Okay, Romana was sure that she hadn't been on an Earth-like planet. In fact they'd been spending some time on Skaro with the Daleks and Movellans. She still had the jelly baby in her hand.]

Excuse me. I'm a little bit lost. I was just with a man who had dark curly hair, a long colorful scarf and goes by the name Doctor.

[am_i_being_rude]

[He wasn't really paying a great deal of attention until she said 'Doctor' and then she gets a sudden glance up.

Romana! Oh man, she showed up last time and clearly doesn't remember but he doesn't care because it's Romana and wow.]

Hm? Oh! You! are... a bit lost, yes. For multiple reasons. What have you been up to?

[timeswrong]

[This man is a bit odd but Romana's used to odd people considering she's been hanging around the Doctor. Oh right, she can't just go around telling strangers about alien races.]

I was playing a game with the Doctor. Rock, paper, scissors as a demonstration to some people.

[She opens her hand to reveal the jelly baby.]

[am_i_being_rude]

Oh, jelly babies; don't eat nearly enough of those anymore. Lots more bananas recently. Not sure why. Ought to fix that. Did I eat them a lot before? I don't remember being particularly fond of them previously.

[Hear that? It's the pitter-patter of little feet. Only they aren't so little and don't really make a pitter-patter sound. Still, here's Jenny with a huuuuuuge smile on her face because she's found her father!]

I didn't think I'd see you again so soon!

[am_i_being_rude]

[He didn't think he'd see you at all! Ever! So there's sort of a moment of frozen surprise and then a grin.]

Jenny! How d- Where've- How have you been?

[wholeuniverse]

[Well she did die and that generally makes people think they'd never see her again. There's still a smile on her face because she's so excited.]

Hi dad. I've been great! Though I think I might have crashed because I don't remember how I got here. [Checking her head for injuries now.]

i think this is action?

[am_i_being_rude]

Well, crashing tends to do that sort of thing. Regeneration can do that too. Which you... don't seem to have done. That's just cheating. [And a hug. Regardless of things. Great big pick-you-up-off-your-feet-and-spin-around hug. Because happy.]

[archivy]

What is it that you are doing, Doctor?

[am_i_being_rude]

Fixing something that someone who wasn't me this time broke. Have we... met?

[archivy]

No, we have not. You are from a rather different universe than mine.

[am_i_being_rude]

[Well. Okay.] And... which one would that be?
