OnlineHost: DRTUNA has entered the room. JenKoko: Nevermind. Here you are! DRTUNA: Hey, so set the stage. JenKoko: So you have arrived Doctor. DRTUNA: Before we start, you are coming from.....am I in the kitchen already, or do I walk in on you. JenKoko: ::in her TARDIS bedroom, Brogan jumps out of bed and reaches for her bathrobe:: OnlineHost: NorisAlex has entered the room. JenKoko: NorisAlex: JenKoko: ::Restless, trembling with fear, Brogan opens her bedroom door and DRTUNA: :::The Doctor wanders into the kitchen and begins brewing a pot of coffee.:::: JenKoko: walks out into the corridor:: DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor whistles a little tune.:::: JenKoko: :she keeps walking, not knowing where she's going, but somewhere, JenKoko: anywhere towards lig comfort and sanity:: DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor admires the coffee beans he did not grind up. :::: DRTUNA: Dandelions.....dandelions. JenKoko: ::Brogan storms into the kitchen and stops dead when she sees the Doctor:: DRTUNA: Another series of tests.... JenKoko: ::Brogan's face is full of fear and distress:: Doctor?! DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor turns toward Brogan from his seat at the counter::: JenKoko: ::stumbling over her words:: What are you doing here? I mean, I didn't expect you.. DRTUNA: Ahh, Brogan, not sleep walking, but walking after recently having been asleep. Are you well? DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor pours himself a cup of coffee::: DRTUNA: Just a break in my work. JenKoko: Sort of... ::thinks of her nightmare:: Yes, yes I'm ok. I guess. DRTUNA: Care for a cup of coffee? Sumatran. Very rich. DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor pours a little half & half in his::: JenKoko: I came for some tea. ::voids eye contact with Doc and reaches for the JenKoko: tea pot:: JenKoko: But coffee would be nice. DRTUNA: Yes, tea. You know I used to prefer tea. Of course, I used to play the recorder as well. DRTUNA: So many things have changed. JenKoko: Recorder? Oh, right. You used to be that little man in plaid pants? JenKoko: Doctor, do you...uh... remember everything he does? I mean, you were the same person. DRTUNA: I wonder. Brogan, should I remember my adventures with you when I was he? If not, did they happen? DRTUNA: :::Pours a cup for Brogan::: DRTUNA: I am not sure anyone can remember everything, and I certainly can't. If I remembered everything .... DRTUNA: ...repetition would drive me insane. DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor laughs a bit::: JenKoko: ::takes a sip of tea::Good. I mean, it is very confusing getting to know JenKoko: one Doctor an then meeting 7 more. DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor looks away dreamily:::: Yes.... DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor snaps back::: Right! I've got to avoid contact with my former selves. DRTUNA: It is too dangerous. DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor looks down :::: DRTUNA: Brogan, I wish Zoe were safe. JenKoko: Too dangerous? Afraid you might kill each other to win an argument next time? JenKoko: But Zoe is safe, Doctor. DRTUNA: My former selves do argue with each other, it is true, but you will notice that none of them argue... JenKoko: ::Brogan's surprised by the vehemence of her own words:: DRTUNA: ....with me. I try to respect my elders/youngers. DRTUNA: My vision of Zoe was very clear when I had it. I am making progress on the chemical tests. DRTUNA: I hope to have a lead very soon. I have a new determination since... JenKoko: ::like some other voice had whispered the very same words "Zoe's quite JenKoko: safe as long as...":: DRTUNA: ....since.... DRTUNA: Brogan, when the New Guardian arose, my life changed forever. DRTUNA: I didn't believe it myself, but a molecular analysis of my body has confirmed it. JenKoko: Confirmed what? DRTUNA: Brogan, a wonderful thing has happened! DRTUNA: I have been given a full set of additional regenerations. The Guardian did it. JenKoko: ::Brogan searches for the owner of the voice in her memory. She was in JenKoko: a garden and they walked together.:: JenKoko: Full set of what? ::asks clearly distracted by her thoughts:: DRTUNA: Time...time. Timelords have a lot of time, but now I have an incredible span of added time. JenKoko: ::It was the little Doctor and he talked about Zoe. But there was JenKoko: something he insistean remember.:: DRTUNA: My physical clock has been turned back, back past my every birth. I have this life ....and another! DRTUNA: It almost makes these incredibly boring tests on dandelions tolerable! JenKoko: ::Something about Zoe and the void of non-existence. Between life and death.:: DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor sips his coffee::: JenKoko: You mean now you're immortal? You can't ever die? DRTUNA: Yes, soon I'll know every molecular link in dandelions. DRTUNA: No, I can still be killed. Blow me apart and I'm history. But, I need not wear out for 16 spans! DRTUNA: I have dealt with so many egomaniacs determined to live forever, and I have been willing to risk all.. DRTUNA: ....to stop each and every one of them. I have not sought eternal life, but a full life of engagement. JenKoko: Doctor, what if you were in a place where you could never die. A place JenKoko: like heaven where you didn't exist beyond what you wished up? DRTUNA: Now, time stretches out before me, the one who did not seek it..... DRTUNA: ....time enough to find Zoe. Time to visit those news world's I haven't even dreamed of yet. JenKoko: But you could will up anything you wish and make yourself think you're alive? DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor smiles::: Why, have you seen such a place. JenKoko: I wonder if with enough concentration you could step out and visit the JenKoko: real world likea ghost or vision. DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor listens carefully::: Yes.... JenKoko: ::Brogan stares into nothingness::Yes, I was there. The Doctor called it JenKoko: a sublimation something vortex. DRTUNA: Tell me about it. JenKoko: He said it was called something else too. It's a place between the JenKoko: dimensions of time and space. JenKoko: A place where you couldn't age or die, but by controlling your mind you JenKoko: could master the domain. JenKoko: You could become anything and perhaps even go anywhere in the real JenKoko: world as a spectator, of course. JenKoko: Like a ghost or vision visiting the living, but not being able to touch them. DRTUNA: President Flavia might be able to do that, projecting herself through the Matrix. DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor listens carefully....there is a clue here. ::: JenKoko: He said you didn't have to be dead to be in the vortex, but the longer you JenKoko: stayed in it the more chance you were trapped forever within it. JenKoko: When I told him about Zoe, well do you think it possible she is trapped DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor stands and puts down his coffee cup::: JenKoko: in something like that? DRTUNA: You mean my former self told you this. What else did I...he....say? JenKoko: ::rubbing her temple::I'm trying to remember. There was something he JenKoko: said about dandelions. DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor raises his voice::: DANDELIONS! DRTUNA: Oh please, Brogan, please remember...what did he say about danelions? JenKoko: And roses. ::questions her own memory.:: Dandelions are like roses, JenKoko: that's what he said. DRTUNA: ...dandelions are like roses....dandelions are like roses.... JenKoko: Then he quoted Shakespeare. DRTUNA: Shakespeare? DRTUNA: Hiding clues in old Will! JenKoko: "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet." What does that mean? DRTUNA: ....a rose by any other means.... DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor takes his seat again and sips and thinks.::: JenKoko: They're both flowers. Is that what he meant? JenKoko: What do dandelions and roses have in common, Doctor? DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor looks at Brogan.::: DRTUNA: Brogan, I need to tell you something. JenKoko: ::takes her seat beside the Doctor at the table:: Yes, what is it? DRTUNA: I am very glad you are here aboard the TARDIS. I know I often seem ungrateful, but you have done... DRTUNA: ....a lot more than I ever expected that first day I saw you in the Underground tunnel. DRTUNA: I need someone to work with. I've almost never been alone on the TARDIS you know. OnlineHost: FreylichT has entered the room. JenKoko: You've had a lot of good and far more competent friends, Doctor. JenKoko: You'll be glad to have Zoe back, won't you. DRTUNA: Have I really? Well, you'll have to let me be the judge of that, I'm afraid. JenKoko: I just hope I can help somewhat, though I fear it's all beyond me at times. DRTUNA: I promised Zoe. She saved my life, she pulled me back from death. I won't give up. DRTUNA: You have already brought me information about how to find Zoe...a message from my former self! JenKoko: No, of course you won't give up. You're a very good friend to everyone, Doctor. JenKoko: Don't worry. We'll find Zoe. DRTUNA: See, Brogan, "I" need you to help "me." JenKoko: That's what I *try* to do anyway. DRTUNA: Well now. Sublimation vortex, roses, smell as sweet.... DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor drains his cup and stands. ::: JenKoko: Does it give you an idea for your research? DRTUNA: Well now, I'm off to the chemical analysis lab. I'm trying to wire it through to the console room. DRTUNA: I feel so much more comfortable there. JenKoko: Just seems like a lot of mumbo jumbo to me. Can I help? JenKoko: DRTUNA: Idea? Well, aromatic chemical compounds shared by both petals may narrow down my search considerably. DRTUNA: I intend to find a molecular crowbar so that I can rip into any continuum I want and take a look insid DRTUNA: e. DRTUNA: Help? Well, actually it is largly mechanized, and the personal interaction requires a high level of... JenKoko: Unless she finds us first. Then what do we do, use a can opener to spring her? DRTUNA: ...expertise in biomolecular structure. DRTUNA: Yes, when I find a trace of her, I am preparing to rip apart the fabric of existence to free her. JenKoko: It's al' right, Doctor. I'm kinda tired anyway. And K9 will JenKoko: start to feel neglected if you don't give him something to JenKoko: fetch. DRTUNA: By the way, make sure I come up with a way to mend it again before I do any ripping.... JenKoko: What happens if you can't unrip it again? DRTUNA: Well... we will.... have to... think about that very carefully when the time comes, won't we? JenKoko: Why is that thought scares me? JenKoko: is it JenKoko: ::thinks:: But then everything scares me lately. Even sleeping and dreaming. DRTUNA: It should scare you, Brogan. It should scare you. I am trusting you to watch over me. DRTUNA: Keep asking me these questions. DRTUNA: Well, I might as well get to work. There is no danger from a diumensional crowbar I haven't even... JenKoko: ::Brogan stifles a shiver at the Doctor's words. Her recent DRTUNA: ...found yet. JenKoko: nightmare fresh on her mind.:: DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor mumbles:::: roses...roses. DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor looks at Brogan::: Are you sure you are well? JenKoko: ::"I trusted you Brogan." the voice from the dead accused in the dream:: JenKoko: What?::just realises the Doctor spoke to her:: Oh, uh... yeah, sure. DRTUNA: Try a swim. It works for me. JenKoko: ::grief and realization wash over Brogan silently:: DRTUNA: Drop over the visit the lab if you want, or I'll be in the console room after I rewire the lab. JenKoko: Maybe. I usually sink instead of swimming. JenKoko: ::the dream was right, Brogan concludes. She failed and she will fail again soon.:: DRTUNA: Nonsense, you look highly buoyant! DRTUNA: ::: The Doctor leaves the kitchen:::: K9! Where are you old dog? DRTUNA: JenKoko: ::alone again in the kitchen, Brogan gets up to make another pot of tea:: JenKoko: ::anything to avoid sleep and another dream. But will she JenKoko: avoid the truth to come, she fretted.:: JenKoko: JenKoko: Not bad for straight improv. Nice job Tuna. As always. DRTUNA: NorisAlex: JenKoko: ::bows:: Thank you. My next role is to be Lady MacBeth. DRTUNA: LOL JenKoko: Hey Albert! What happened last week? FreylichT: :::claps::: Bravo!! NorisAlex: Out, out damn K9...er, Spot! DRTUNA: I thought I needed to gush to someone about the extra lives. JenKoko: LOL JenKoko: Yes, very well done. Lucky you. Even cats don't get that many lives. FreylichT: Let us not look to the past... let us see into the future. JenKoko: And quite a future it will be. So what did you all think about a weekend sim? NorisAlex: sounds like a cool idea DRTUNA: Right. Well, gotta go. I like weekend sim, and will attend often, but not every week. DRTUNA: :::bows::: JenKoko: Good. Glad to see you Tuna. It was fun! DRTUNA: *poof* DRTUNA: OnlineHost: DRTUNA has left the room. FreylichT: I want to play the DR. FreylichT: :GRIN: FreylichT: or maybe not.. NorisAlex: any reactions on the script yet? NorisAlex: JenKoko: Only mine. I think it's great. Anyone claim a role yet, David? JenKoko: Besides Hammai and the ghosts. FreylichT: I am not sure If I will be there. JenKoko: Albert, you'd be a great Doc, but I don't wnat to loose you for the Wed night sim. NorisAlex: REO wants Zoe, I sent a note out apologizing for the screw up on that JenKoko: Wed takes precedent in my book. FreylichT: But I always like Master scripts. FreylichT: I will be there..... FreylichT: for you Jen.. FreylichT: @~`~~~ JenKoko: Ah, I see David. Don't worry, people have been trying to JenKoko: claim the Doctor role too in the past. JenKoko: Well, Albert you could play in both. I probably will but not JenKoko: as a crew member in the second. FreylichT: <---- ME ME ME... I want to be Dr on WED...1!! :GRIN: JenKoko: You have to fight Tuna for Wed's Doc. NorisAlex: me want Doctor, 5th Doctor on Sunday!!!!!! NorisAlex: hee hee FreylichT: So does DrWho8.. FreylichT: geez. JenKoko: Do you think it should be a NEW advenutre sim or MISSING adventures? NorisAlex: I know, you probably get it, Albert JenKoko: What if we did the 2nd sim as a diferent Doctor every JenKoko: storyline and use tv companions? FreylichT: Jen, I put you down as a Reference JenKoko: I'm out of it, Albert. The group decides who they want to JenKoko: be the Doc and companions by majority rule. FreylichT: Jen, please send DramiAmandi the URL address for your Web page. :GRIN: FreylichT: I dont want to be the Dr Jen. JenKoko: All I can do is advise what people are looking for. FreylichT: I was just kidding on that, I put you down as ref for the DWO chat for NorisAlex: some send me 5th Doctor wavs, me want 5th Doctor wavs:-) JenKoko: Drami lost the web address again? ::sigh:: FreylichT: the wekend FreylichT: YEs. FreylichT: she just asked me for it. FreylichT: I have it as my home page. FreylichT: I just sent it to her. JenKoko: Your home page is our website? NorisAlex: Jen, is your copy of Mind Robber as bad as mine? FreylichT: Yes. JenKoko: It's not from a CBS/Fox video. Mine is a little better since JenKoko: it was the original of the tape to tape. JenKoko: I didn't get any Who tapes for my birthday so I have to JenKoko: wait for my next paycheck to buy them. NorisAlex: well :::smiling::: guess what? JenKoko: Then I'll send you the other Doc 2 eps. JenKoko: What? NorisAlex: I fo und a Fox/CBS tape of Mind Robber today:-) JenKoko: Oh yeah?
