Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryu strolled up to and through the front gate of Tenshi, completely ignoring Laura all together. She paused once inside and took a look around. People were bustling here and there, in and out of different buildings. There was one building tho that seemed to have no people in it, and that simple fact was rather appealing, so she headed off in that direction.

There was a waver in the air. A loud, crashing noise reverberated from seemingly nowhere. A glint of old blue came into view...

Slamming right through the gates, leaving a large hole in the shape of all things, a phone booth. Or, specifically, a blue British police box from the 50s. A tad out of place, really, when one thought about it. Its top light was flashing in a constant motion as it crashed to a stop, rocking on its base for a few seconds, before seemingly deciding that it wasn't going to fall over onto its side.

The door opened. A man with rather bad skin and big, brown hair grasped the frame and poked his head outside, a dazed look on his face. He rubbed his head with his free hand, and glanced around. "Now, where is this?" He asked no one in particular. It was rather pretty here, he did give it that. But that wasn't the matter at hand to muse on. The man ventured back inside his ship once he was sure no one was in sight. The fact that it was bigger on the inside than it was on the outside didn't phase him, but that didn't hold true for the population. He'd have to move it before anyone noticed and came waltzing in and had a mild heart attack. That was the last thing he needed. He was the Doctor, mind, but he wasn't a doctor, and he didn't think his knowledge of extra-terrestrial anatomy counted much when humans came into account.

...of course, the TARDIS didn't seem to want to cooperate with that particular plan. Cables were in disarray, waving this way and that in all directions. Panels had blown off, blowing smoke in his face. He waved a hand to shoo the fumes away and pulled out a little tool, giving it a little look, before placing it back into his coat pocket, satisfied that it hadn't died on him.

Now, he pulled out a hammer and started smacking the console. Because smacking things always makes them work. "Oh, come on!" He cried at it, beating it a bit harder. The Doctor gave her a kick for good measure, but that didn't really help much.

He wondered briefly if he could fix the ship while hopping around in pain, get a cast for his obviously broken foot, and move the TARDIS before any humans came.

"Well, it's worth a shot." He murmured, pulling off one of the few unbroken casings to take a look.


(ooc: In case anyone's particularly curious, since I know I did a horrible job describing the ship, you can find an exterior photo here, and an internal photo here. And if you think I did a particularly fine job, then just ignore the links and continue praising my greatness! ...or whatever it was you were doing.)

The Doctor blinked at the boy, before grinning at him. "No, quite alright Jimmy-boy. Doubt you'd know the first thing to do. Well...unless you know quantum mechanics by some miraculous happenstance." He leaned over on his foot unconsciously, wondering why the boy missed the obvious question of, "What the hell is that and how did it land there?!", and winced. "Ahhhhh... Though, you could go nick me a bit of a cast or something from the hospital if you want to be useful. Seemed to have broken my foot here." He gave it a wiggle for Austin, before wincing again and holding onto the frame of the door for support.

The Doctor raised an eyebrow. Actual magic? No, that's not... Magic was all well and good, but not in this obviously modern age where science reigned supreme. Something must've muddled in the process; he'd have a look when he got the TARDIS up and running.

In any case, he smiled at Austin. "Thanks for that, you saved me a lot of...well, injury time there." He set his foot back down and applied a bit of pressure. Perfect. Like nothing had never touched it. Maybe the boy had used nanogenes - those little creatures that copied the basic DNA pattern of the original host and mended their patients to perfection. Or perhaps...but no, he shook his head, that wasn't possible. He'd have seen them, as tiny as they were. But it couldn't have really been anything else...

"I'm the Doctor." He replied, choosing to ignore the comment about skirts for the time being, closing the door to the ship and stepping out. No need for the boy to go in there just yet. "And, where might I be, Austin?" He twisted the key into the lock on the ship. Just in case.

If X-Men was still a pop culture reference, he was definitely on Earth. Now, just for the 'when' and the...

Wait. He'd have heard of this 'gifted' students place if it existed on his Earth. He knew every special school on the planet from 16th Century France to the year four billion delta apple point five.. But it wasn't possible. He'd mended all the rifts when Rose... 'Right, none of that now.' He told himself. Figure what's what first, Rose later. He put her to the back of his mind.

Like focusing on the possible scientific answer to the Ki usage. "Is it scientific in any way, or purely...metaphysical?" He didn't quite want to use the word 'magic', because, if his hunch was right about the dimensional rift, then the easiest way to justify the hunch was with that word. Of course, maybe he was just wrong entirely, and it was a legitimate move that used some sort of sub-atomic particle transfer or such. ...mind, he was rarely wrong about matters such as this, but he could still grasp for the chance.

"And...this may sound a bit daft, but what century is it?"

The Doctor blanched. Of course, it had to be a loud, frightening woman. It always was. "Well...I'm the Doctor, and I believe I unintentionally flew my now entirely useless ship through your lovely gate...which now has an equally lovely hole, I might add." He grinned sheepishly at her, wishing he hadn't locked the TARDIS. He'd be safe from her in there, but he doubted he could get in without her breaking the door down before it locked again.


"You do have very lovely wings, I might add. I haven't seen any like them before." Which was entirely true, and just served to reinforce the parallel dimensional rift theory. Which didn't please him one bit.

Austin was about to answer Doc's question when he saw...rather, HEARD. Glissa approaching. Hearing what the problem was, he immediate pulled out a white glove with a transmutation array on the back, and moved to the hole. He place his hand on a large piece of stone, and the transmutation symbol glowed bright blue. The stone melted, and crept up the side of the gate to fill the hole rather nicely.
"Sorry headmistress. It was an accident. This is my friend, Doc. Doc, this is headmistress Navali."
Austin moved quickly to Doc's side, wrapping a friendly arm around him. He hoped Doc didn't mind, but it would come off better if the new guy seemed like he knew one of the students. At least this way, he'd take half the blame, should there be a punishment coming.
