This will probably sound a little strange, but does anyone know how to get to 21st century Earth?

Anywhere would do, though it would definitely need to be in the early 2000’s and the closer to Cardiff the better.

[Filtered to Torchwood Three]I know the chances are you aren’t going to get this, but I decided it would be worth a try. Our

21st century Earth? That's when Misa's from too! But she's from Japan, not Cardiff.

...and she hasn't found out how to get back yet either. But she's sure she'll manage it soon!

[capt_j_harkness]

It's not where I'm from, just where I'm living.

Japan? I like Japan, haven't been there in a while though.

Perhaps we could help each other find the way back?

I'm Captain Jack Harkness, by the way.

[misa_idol]

Where are you from?

Yes, Misa would like that! She's already been here for months, she wants to go home. Even though...Misa has made a lot of friends here now.

Pleased to meet you, Jack-san! Misa is Amane Misa~.

[capt_j_harkness]

Boeshane Peninsula.

Months... don't worry, I'm sure it won't be long till we find a way home. Perhaps your friends could come with you?

Pleased to meet you too, Amane Misa.

I'm afraid no one has found the way to return to their respective homes yet. Some people have left the Mansion, but thouse of us left here don't know how.

It seems you are used to the idea of different worlds and timelines, though. Good. You'll find this place is quite complicated.

Welcome to Wonderland.

[capt_j_harkness]

Yet. If people have left that must mean there is a way out, it just hasn't been found.

I'm used to them. It comes in handy when things like this happen.

Wonderland?

[a_game_of_cards]

Well, yes, it's always a good idea to keep looking. You never know what you might find.

Wonderland, or simply the Mansion, is how this place is called.

Speaking of names - I haven't introduced myself yet. Clow Reed, pleased to meet you.

[capt_j_harkness]

Exactly. You wouldn't have any idea where the people that managed to leave were last seen, would you?

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind, it's always good to know the name of the place you're at.

Captain Jack Harkness, and the pleasure is all mine.

I don't doubt a lot of people knows this "21st century Earth", baby, or a way to get there. But no one can know how to escape this place -and- remain here. You're pretty much trapped in this strange dimension until the higher powers decide to release you. But no, don't count on others to tell you because if they're here they don't have the knowledge.

So in short, there are several kinds of creatures and beings gathered in this domain for unknown reasons, and strange events happen periodically. It's not only made of mortal humans.

[capt_j_harkness]

That's a pity. I guess I'll just have to find a way to pass the time until I find a way to leave.

Sounds a lot like Earth... that will help make things easier to get used to.

[halfbakedlunary]

Heh. It's refreshing to see that kind of point of view. It's better than moping or trying to destroy stuff up like some do. There are a lot of parties and some events aren't bad. Besides, it's more entertaining when you make friends or they bring more folks from your own worlds, trust me.

Oui? This almost reminds me of the mortal realm on my universe. I think that's my equivalent of earth.

[capt_j_harkness]

I'd rather be constructive with the time I have here, than destroy things or mope. I do need to get back, especially since this makes it the second time I've left my team on their own, but I might as well have fun whilst I'm here.

You aren't from the mortal realm?

[areplication]

You must have friends and loved ones waiting for you since you're being specific on the time frame.

I only apologize that I can't help you. Everyone here has been trying to find a way out and it hasn't worked.

[capt_j_harkness]

I have my team to get back to, it's not fair to leave them on their own again.

Don't worry about it. I'm sure someone here will find a way for us to leave at some point.

[areplication]

Your team? Are you there leader?

I'm not sure that I could leave if the chance arose -- I'm not sure if anyone has told you, but those who've died have are also living here in this place.

[capt_j_harkness]

I am, though I've been neglecting that duty as of late.

Someone did mention it. I apologize if I've upset you with what I said.

[justxonexword]

Jack! ... You're pretty much stuck here. Welcome to Wonderland!

[capt_j_harkness]

Martha! Good to see you again.

So I've been told, how long have you been here for?

[justxonexword]

Its nice to see you too, Jack.

Hm, in a week it'll be four months.

[capt_j_harkness]

How have you been?

Four months? And you still haven't managed to leave?
