He hesitated to sheathe his sword. "Oliver?" His voice was thick with disbelief, perhaps a bit higher since he was caught off guard. "What are you doing here?!"
Well, this looked bad, didn't it?
Surrounding them were grassy plains, and in the distance a plateau of some sort. The sky was a bright, clear blue, and the iridescent Fonbelt was visible in the sky.
There were also three other dead soldiers, but that was beside the point.

"What is this?" Oliver demanded, jerking his hand to take in the soldiers around them. "Why!?" The word was much stronger this time--and much angrier.

The knights looked at the blond, and the blond shrugged a little, finishing the gesture of handing a sealed and be-ribboned document over to them.
"You should probably get that to Treitheim." Guy suggested amiably. The men in uniform hesitated, saluted, and moved on, obviously reluctant to move from the scene.
"So." The remaining man, the blond, watched the knights to be sure they were gone. "Welcome to Daath. That was an interesting entrance. Travel like that often?"
His voice was friendly enough, but he was taking it all a little too calmly to be normal.

Thankfully, the men in uniform left almost immediately, leaving Oliver with the young bloke who seemed to be in charge--who was asking him questions, at that. "Uh..." With his mind racing, Oliver tried to come up with something to say that would help the situation rather than make it worse. Obviously he was on the same world as Asch's, but it couldn't be Asch's again...could it? Even if it was, he'd clearly left and gone somewhere very different from the grassy plains where Asch was. He wondered if that meant someone else ( ... )

"Auldrant." He supplied helpfully. "Yeah. Not from around here?" It was sort of a trick question, and how Oliver answered would determine what Guy decided to do with him. He didn't really have the authority to arrest Oliver, but the man probably didn't know that. And Guy could always leave him with Anise--or maybe that would be cruel.

"What!? I didn't hear anything!" he cried, staring at Jade and trying to gauge if he was being serious. Right now, he really wished he knew him better.

"It's not my fault the Plane sent me here!" he finally burst out, rather lamely.

"Oliver?"
She glanced frantically around, but it seemed that his arrival - something that would have been taken as a sure sign of sorcery - had gone unnoticed. These days, the people of Camelot were busy with their own concerns.
"It's all right, they haven't seen you," she said with breathless relief, grabbing his arm to pull him out of sight. "What are you doing in Camelot?"
Reply
At her question, he could only shake his head. "I keep showing up on different worlds. I can't go to the Plane or home or anything! It must be some sort of experiment. Sorry, Gwen."
But then her words fully connected through his surprise, and his eyes widened. "Wait. I'm on Camelot!? Oh god, you're from Camelot!" He couldn't help the excitement in his tone, his voice growing a bit louder than he'd meant it to. He was in the legendary Camelot!

The silence - and the fact that they weren't followed by angry shouts or the sound of running feet - confirmed that they were truly safe. In the shadows of the castle wall, Gwen allowed herself to relax and greet Oliver with a warm hug.
His excitement made her smile.
"Yes, this is Camelot," she agreed, "Perhaps I should give you a tour?"
Reply
He hugged Gwen back, smiling at the greeting. It was good to see that she was as glad to have him here as he was to be here, especially as that hadn't always been the case at his previous destinations. At the offer of a tour, his eyes widened for an entirely different reason. "That would be fantastic!" he gasped.

She patrolled the winding corridors of the Capitol late into the night, searching for the hidden dangers that were sure to come. The planet was as beautiful as ever, even in the aftermath of a vicious civil war, but Leela was restless. Romana and her few friends on Gallifrey were all that she had left.
Except for her friends on the Plane, of course. But she had not expected to hear any of their familiar voices here.
"... Oliver?"

It was a reflexive question to ask when you were in the dark. Considering where he'd been appearing up until now, he at least knew that Leela being here meant he was on her world--but he gasped as the realisation hit him. He knew what Leela's world was. "Is this...is this Gallifrey!?"
Reply
"Yes," she confirmed, "This is the Capitol and I do not think you are here to visit the High Council. Did the Plane send you here?"
Reply
But first he was definitely getting a look at Gallifrey. "So the High Council is here? Of the Time Lords?" he asked, the awe and excitement slipping easily back into his tone.
