Happy testing!

Void Trecking

The thing about being on a train hurtling through void space is there’s not much to see. Outside the window lies an endless void of kaleidoscope colours shifting and swirling. It’s probably best not to stare at it too long. Do so and you might start to imagine order in it. Shapes, places, even figures. But your eyes shift... Back to chaos. Probably best you do something else other than stare out the window. Or convince your fellow passengers that void watching leads to headaches!

Relaxing

The newest carriage to be added to the Voidtrecker Express is a rock garden. In a glass domed carriage, flickering with the light of the void the rock garden is a peaceful and medative space, full of mosaics, a pond, fountains and small stony bridges.

It's also the closest to an outside space you have and so is likely to be used for less than peacful activities. Splash in the rivers, race around the paths. Or try and relax on a bench and read amongst the chaos.

Goblin Town

Goblins riding wolves, everyone's favourite foe. The wolves fly, obviously and the goblins fight with short spears, almost like knights on horseback if the knights were terrifying and demonic looking. They are causing trouble by harassing a small village.

Team One

Fight the goblins. A handful of weapons have been provided but mostly you need to try and outsmart the goblins. They can come from any direction, including up. Try and keep the village safe from their attacks.

Team Two

Protect the villagers, help them barricade their houses. Deal with any goblins that get through team one's defences. Some of the villagers want to help and that's alright, some of the villagers want to help and are still in single digits, that's probably less alright. Keep everyone safe!

Team Three

The thing with sieges is, some things still need to happen. People still need to eat. Babies need fed and looked after. Animals need tended. Try and help with the logistics of everything in the heart of the village, as far away from the fighting as possible.

Pick a team, go wild!

The Doctor reacts to that name. He stiffens slightly and there’s tiny flicker of hope that he might see her again. The odds aren’t really in his favor on that one but he can’t help but hope. He watches Me with a guarded expression, trying to discern why her condition would involve Rose Tyler. That’s not really anything he can give his word on-If Rose were to turn up then he would definitely love her to help-she had a knack for noticing things out of the ordinary-her very human eyes were always ahead of him when it came to noticing when something was even a little off.

“What have you got against Rose Tyler?” He questions, eyebrows knitting together in confusion. He couldn’t make that promise. He loved Rose just as he loves all his companions. Except perhaps Adam. But he didn’t really count because Rose was the soft one that had invited him along. “And anyway, it’d be completely useless to turn down help when you’re working towards the same goal.”

"If I were to enumerate all the points we would be here for years and you little the wiser. But the short version, since that is at least somewhat relevant, this train is, I rather suspect, a little like the city I have recently spent some time in, Doctor. Outside of time as we know it and at least somewhat sentient. It is the first that matters more, of course."

She crossed her arms. "Because it was outside of time I met first a face of yours that was never meant to know who I am, the face, if I am not mistaken, right before this one. I also met Rose Tyler. For a time thew three of us lived together in the fake Tardis that was created for you there. A previous face of yours showed up, and you were apparently jealous of yourself. You wanted it to be clear to all that the two of you were to be treated as separate people. You did not live together with the face that wore the leather jacket. And Rose was always a point of contention between the pair of you."

She frowned. "And then, at a party, Rose was delighted to tell someone, within my hearing, about her habit of leaving her home - and her boyfriends - for dangerous guys with guitars. And laughed about how if you had a face that could rock out she'd run away with him in an instant. As it happens, in your future, you do. Later that same night I became witness to a rather explosive argument when the face that was possessive over Rose found her snogging the one in the leather jacket. She not only said that she was willing to abandon the face she claimed to be in love with should your next face arrive, she then cheated on that version of you with a previous one. Knowing how that version felt. I then made it clear that in the future, you had a wife that was a much better match for you, one who could keep up with you in ways that Rose Tyler could not. One that would never run away on you. Rose did not like me telling your previous self about River." To be fair, though she no longer caed to be fair where Ten was concerned, Ten had not liked it either. "It became war from then on out. Unsurprisingly I did not live in the Tardis long after that. More of your faces came and went from that place. The Master was there for a time as well, as was the spirit of the Tardis herself. And River. The way that face of yours and Rose treated River was deplorable, and she happens to be one of the very few people in all of space and time that I could have almost liked. Rose spent much of her time after that dedicated to harassing me, while whining to the world that I was an overconfident bully. She turned the few people that I spoke with against me, or tried whenever she could. She vandalized the home that I made for myself. She tried to convince the whole of that world to disregard my choices in regards to my own name, Doctor. And should you fail to believe me, there is one other here who spent time on that world. I have already encountered him. His name is Link, pale, blond, pointed ears, wears green and is almost unerringly armed with a sword and rather nauseating amounts of optimism. He can verify much of what I have said about what Rose has done and attempted to do publicly, at least. And while he too disregards my choice as to what I wish to be called, he at least does it in his own unique way and does not pressure anyone else to do the same."

She raised her brows. "I could not care less what Rose Tyler claims her goals to be, I shall not work with her, and should you agree to work with me under my condition and break your word it shall be the last beach of trust between us, for trust will then be impossible. If you cannot meet my condition, tell me now and I shall resume cleaning up your messes independent of your attempts to leave them behind. And the mystery I represent shall never be answered to your satisfaction."

The Doctor listens carefully to her tale, his expression becoming more and more perplexed as she goes on. That... doesn't sound like Rose. Not the Rose he knew. He took care to choose only the best when picking his companions. Part of him wishes he could talk to Rose-ask her questions to try work out what would cause her to act in such a way. Never mind, that's a mystery for another day.

"Blimey, all that is making even my head spin." He says with just a touch of humor in his voice. "Okay, I don't really know where to start-but I'll start with this-My other faces-other versions. Are me. I'm all the doctor- Nine, Ten, Two or One. All me. But you and River already know that-even Rose would know that. She's seen a regeneration cycle." He explains.

"But-But! And this is very important. I won't take kindly to anyone passing insults at my companions-past or present. And I won't put up with my companions throwing insults at each other either. Right now, I'm grouping you into that category-so if-and that is a very big if-Rose were to turn up I wouldn't want either of you starting fights. That's not what I stand for-that's never what I stand for."

"Now that could have almost been an interesting attitude to watch interact with your more annoying face. All the same, however, I am perfectly willing to never see that face of yours, or Rose, again. Should she arrive however, Doctor.... I make no promises about starting or not starting a fight. But I can make some predictions about how I would end it."

"No. No, I won't stand for this. If Rose does somehow magically turn up then I will be sure she leaves you alone and you leave her alone. Though I have to admit, I can't ever imagine Rose doing something like that. She knows how regeneration works and she knows how I work. It wasn't like she didn't know I've had other companions or and even.. well, you know-or at least she does." But this isn't about that. Does he want to promise not to work with Rose even knowing that she is very capable and would be a great help? Not exactly.

"But I can't promise not to work with her. If you know me-Me, me. The Doctor-all incarnations of me then you know my answer. What next, are you going to tell me I can't work with the Ponds? Clara? Sarah Jane Smith, should she turn up? How About Jo Prat or Romana, or even Adric? Tegan? Susan? I wont make any sort of promise not to work with my Companions. Ever. You should know better than to ask me that."

"Everyone you named aside from Rose was in their own way a pleasant diversion. I did not mind in the least helping them or their families. I could almost have liked the Ponds, actually." And there might have been a slight flicker in her otherwise mask cool expression at Clara's name. "But how exactly do you think to make Rose leave me alone, Doctor? Every other face of yours that tried has failed. And if she has memories as I do of the living city she will, in some ways, have the power to be even more annoying than you."

She considered and then her lip twitched ever so slightly. "Then how about a compromise? If she does show up, and you fail to stop her from going after me, then you allow me to send my raven to her. No attempts to stop me, no attempts to take the timer even if she is selfish enough to offer it. All in, Doctor. Would you bet her life that you can control Rose Tyler?" Line in the sand. Seriously, he has no idea what Rose put her through. What it felt like to have been finally invited to live in the Tardis and then to know she could not stay. Or that moment when Chat Noir declared his side by insisting she go by the name of Ashildr. Rose was a virus. She spread like a plague and there was nothing at all that the patch could do to cure Me of her.

I was really tempted to put ‘non-existent eyebrows’

ROFL. Given the eyebrows of his she's more used to....
