001: Arrival

[Romana is wandering the secret passageways between the Council Rooms and her Presidential Chambers. Ever since the supposed assassination attempt on her life; from which the Romana of this Gallifrey had, in fact, died; the only time she received time to herself was during these walks.

It was so frustrating that the Time Lords of this Gallifrey were so overly “proper.” It was even getting on Narvin’s nerves and that was saying something. But she had been right about one thing: being called “Supreme Leader” became old, very quickly.

As she walks, she is paying more attention to her thoughts rather than where she is going. It seemed that the "Free Time Virus" had yet to arrive here, but that didn't mean it wouldn't and that is cause for great concern.   She turns a corner and opens the door to her private rooms. So lost is she in thought, that it takes her a full minute to realize that she is not in her private chambers. She looks around the room.]

This isn’t at all where I planned to be. I must have taken a wrong turn.

[It wasn't all that unusual to happen. Although this Alternate Gallifrey is very similar to her own, every once in awhile a subtle difference reveals itself. She walks back to the door, opens it and looks into the hall.  Through one of the great windows in the hall, she can see outside. it looks nothing like Gallifrey.  For starters the sky is a pristine blue, rather than the burnt-orange she expects to see.]

This… doesn’t look like Gallifrey.

[For a moment, Romana is hopeful that perhaps K-9 and Irving Braxiatel had finally sorted a way to get her back to the prime universe. She smiles warmly and runs into the hall.]

Brax!? K-9? I’m here! You did it! You brought me back! And none too soon. Did you retrieve Narvin as well?

[Her face falls as she looks around and didn’t see them anywhere.]

Gallifrey? Time Lords? You're not making any --

[River sounds a bit breathless, but then again she has been stuck in a room with the Eleventh Doctor for two days by now]

Anyway, you're far from Gallifrey. This is a castle called Paradisa. I'd greet you in person, but I'm currently being held hostage. I'm sure the Doctors will respond immediately.

Through my journal, it's the communications network for here. The Eleventh regeneration of the Doctor is here, he'll probably be talking to you as soon as he opens his journal.

[Yeah, she doesn't know who this woman is at all, but she seemed interesting enough and she's always been interested in the Doctor's past. About Gallifrey and the Time Lords]

I don't think I'm the right person to speak to. If you're native Gallifreyan, you're probably in for a big shock.

[The Time war, end of the Gallifreyan race, etc etc]

Anyway, I'm River Song.

[Color River surprised to meet such a distinguished individual. She could stand to learn a lot from Romana, being that her only knowledge stemmed from being the child of the TARDIS, so it was like a flash course on time and space academics]

A pleasure to meet you, Madame president.

[Good grief she could already tell this woman was going to be trying. River didn't run around just blurting out her titles, although if she did she might end up in prison so there's that]

Nope, not a clue. Some alternate universe that sucks certain people inside. There's a blonde version of the Doctor here, he might be able to help. I'm afraid my knowledge of Gallifrey stems purely from research. I'm an archaeologist by trade.

[ Go ahead and laugh, get it out of your system, she's heard worse]

[Oh dear, wrong button to push]

A great deal, considering I know the Doctor and I based my doctorate on your society.

[Yeah, she's a little huffy. Why does everyone hate on archaeology?]

Yeah, that's him alright. The one that has affection for vegetables. Right now the castle is playing games and shacking certain people up together. You should hear from him soon, but I don't know what room he might have ended up in. Valentines' day nonsense.

If I knew of who I spoke to, I might give a damn

[Potential for a cat fight to break out? Sure! Anyway, she doesn't like this woman's tone of voice]

Excuse me? That's incredibly rude. I have human parents, I'll have you know. Valentines day means something to them.

[Not that she thinks it warrants being shacked up for three days, but who is she to complain?]

I'm sure he'll be able to address this situation better. One more thing, not sure if you'd know or not, but the Master is here as well. I don't really know him, he's before my time...

[She'd never heard of her, but she'll bite her tongue for nowRiver Song was the evolutionary exception to the norm. The very proof that humans could evolve along the same evolutionary latter, given the right stimulus]

The Master is very much alive and here. This place can take anyone from anywhere, from any point in time and space.

I don't know. I've never seen him in person, but he seemed to growl and rawr like a...feline when I first came upon him. We only talked through the journals, like I'm talking to you now.

[The Doctor had warned her away from him, but that wouldn't keep her away for too long. She's too sure of herself, cocky even]

No, not that I know of. It's just me, two Doctors, my parents, and Rose Tyler. There used to be more of us, but the castle tends to send people away after a certain amount of time. I used to call us the time travelers club.

[She chuckles]

Because we'd all been companions to the Doctor at one time. Anyway, I think you should really speak to the Doctor. He's more qualified to fill you in....

Nothing looks like Gallifrey any more.

Are you a Time Lord?

I know your name. Harry told me about you once. He didn't like you.

[Lucy is either completely oblivious, or ignoring it]

I called him Harry. He used the name Harold Saxon for a while.

So he could get himself elected Prime Minister.
