A young woman in a labcoat walks in, her nose buried in a medical textbook as she bites her thumb thoughtfully.

When the change in noise from where she's come from registers, however, she looks up. Eyes go wide.

"...Oh my God. Who the hell put a bar in the students' lounge?"

Welcome to Milliways, Miss Martha Jones.


[OOC: Martha is currently just pre-canon! She's completely free to tag by everyone and anyone, but all I ask is that nobody mention the Doctor to her, please.]

...Who the hell is the guy acting like a cat that just got splashed with cold water?

For the record he's REALLY hoping that this isn't what he thinks it is.

[took_a_year_out]

Blink.

Blink.

Hand on hip.

"...What?"

[basic_powers]

"...Nothing?"

Except that panicked tone in his voice is probably too much of a give to how utterly freaked he's getting. At least before he registers that she didn't call him Moon Shadow.

So. PROBABLY SAFE. Yeh.

"I didn't put the Bar in the students lounge if that's what you're thinking."

She eyes him. The insta-denial reminds her far too much of her brother just after he's eaten the entire birthday cake or something.

"Where did you put it?"

See other tags re:pat answers. Sometimes they're just there for the taking.

"Apprently inside of the gay bar I work at." He replies, really trying to shift mental gears. "And I think I might've been a little drunk, because putting a bar inside of another bar is just a bit redundant."

[took_a_year_out]

"A touch, yeah," she agrees. "And putting one in a hospital is just a bit daft, so there you go."

[basic_powers]

"So, like I said, I didn't put it here." Small grin and an offering of a hand. "Beauford Tannen, this place is weird, but it's pretty okay."

[took_a_year_out]

"What is it?" she asks, but doesn't hesitate in take the offered hand. "I'm Martha. Martha Jones."

[basic_powers]

"Milliways, pandimensional bar, spanning multiple realities and times." Beat.

Yeah that didn't sound rehearsed at all did it?

"Shows up randomly in doorways from time to time."

[took_a_year_out]

"...Sorry, what?"

Beat.

"Really?"

[basic_powers]

...He was pretty sure he wasn't using Ray's academia talking voice there so let's try that again...

"Hello. Welcome to another reality. We've got beer, fried snacks, and doors to other worlds?"

[took_a_year_out]

"...Okay then."

She must have hit her head on the door frame walking into the students' lounge. Only possible explanation.

And in that case, she may as well go with it until someone brings her round. They may even not have time to paint something on her face before it happens, you never know.

"You said about beer?"
