[he blinks, looking around, very bewildered with the sudden change of environment. the room didn't look a thing like the Academy!]

Ummm...where is everyone? Koschei? Hello? [notices the sphere] Anyone at all?

[and then he notices that he's wearing an over-sized pinstripe suit, with sleeves that come down to his knees and the trouser legs are pooled around trainers that are far too big for his feet. he steps out of them, dragging the trouser legs around the floor until those fall off too. he sighs, slipping the tie off around his head--really, what need does he have for it now--and uses it to secure the trousers around his waist and quickly rolls up the trouser legs until he can see his feet.]

Well. If no one from the Academy is responding then...maybe I'm not there any more... [lets that fact sink in. a grin slowly grows on his face and he suddenly starts jumping around, cheering boisterously, and completely disregarding the fact that his trouser legs are quickly coming undone.]

[waves] Hi Oliver! You're much taller than I thought you would be.

Oh, but a human named Lara is finding me something to wear, so you don't have to worry about that. Especially with all those animals out there.

So these hamburgers... [trails off, looking at oliver in earnest]

[oliverplus]

[resists the urge to reply that he's much shorter than he thought he would be]

Oh, good! Leave it to Lara.

[grins] I brought some stuff, but I'm gonna have to use your kitchen. I promise it'll be great!

[bit_impossible]

Ohh, you have to make it, huh? Is it a terribly long and complicated process?

[oliverplus]

Not really. You can watch, if you want!

[bit_impossible]

Delighted to! [smiles eagerly]

[oliverplus]

Okay, then come with me! [leads him into the kitchen]

[returns a bit later with a burger and chips on a plate] Have you tried it? What do you think?

[bit_impossible]

Very different! [quickly finishes off the hamburger] We don't have anything like this on Gallifrey. [shoves the chips in his mouth like he hasn't eaten in years] What are these things called again?

[oliverplus]

Chips! You like them? [is eating his own dinner] We can have them again soon, if you want.

[bit_impossible]

I could eat these every day! Hm, well, maybe not every day, but a lot!

[oliverplus]

Haha, well, we should probably do something healthier next time...

Anyway, what do you want to do now?

[bit_impossible]

What do humans do after eating? Play any kind of games?

[oliverplus]

I don't see why not. What game do you want to play?

[bit_impossible]

What kind of games do Earth children play?

[oliverplus]

[scratches his head] Well, hide and seek, and It, and all sorts of stuff...

Do you want to try an Earth game, or do you want to teach me a game you know?

[bit_impossible]

'It'? Sounds a little suspicious.

[he eyes the door leading outside the room, and quickly comes up with a plan. after all, there's so much he needs to explore before the stuffy Time Lords arrive to take him away!]

I know. There's a game I played back home, but I need five sticks and a ball that's about the same size as these, but blue, and the color is highly important.

[oliverplus]

Haha, no. It's fun! Or it was, anyway.

[frowns at the Doctor's description] I might be able to find something like that... [looks around the room, spying the Doctor's jacket; heads over to grab it and sift through the pockets] Just give me a minute! I'll see what I can do.
