BA, one bit to swing by you before posting it in the story thread. Is this within the bounds of how you imagined the setting?
Quote:Rob turned to his companion. "Okay, it's happening. I suppose I have you to thank for that." After a pause with no reply, Rob continued, "But this is only four impossible things. Give me two more to believe, and then I can have breakfast."
"Lewis Carrol."
"The books are eminently quotable."
His companion nodded. "Quotable, or referenceable. Here is a fifth 'impossible thing.'" He handed Rob a box. "Translation devices. Not quite real-time - they do need to hear a sentence before translating it. Wear them the way you would wear Bluetooth headsets, which, by the way, they double as."
Rob opened the box and took one of the headsets out. It was lightweight and stylish, assuming your style tended toward white with red trim. He noticed a maker's mark at the earpice end - a hammer inside a circle.
Rob blinked. It was still there.
"Okay, I've read Bob Schroeck's stories. Either this is a joke, or ... No, that's the impossible thing here. These were made by somebody who I thought was a fictional character."
And so far, all I've established about SI-my companion's identity is that he's male. Any suggestions, anyone?
- The TARDIS is grounded and will not be traveling anywhere in physical space or time - at least not until the climax for Arc 1
- He'll figure out a way to get around anyhow. He'll get wanderlust - enough that he'll be seen around the other apartments, getting acquainted with the other Arrivals (hint-hint). But he'll stick around enough that he can be a regular character for you.

Rajvik, you have my humble apologies. If I had realized what you had in mind sooner, I would have warned you in advance.
The thing is that I wanted characters to be showing up, pretty much out of the blue, with barely more than the clothes on their backs (The Doctor and Washu-chan being exceptions because they have massive dimensional spaces they more-or-less carry with them).
The main idea is that we put them here in our world, see how they manage, and have others show up along the way that they have to get along with. Sometimes, things will work out great - you'll have characters in one group that have a calming/moderating affect on characters from another group. At other times... there'll be fireworks. Very spectacular fireworks.
More details:
Arc 1 - character show up with barely more than the clothes on their backs. Bags of Holding and similar dimension-warping personal spaces are allowed. (IE: Washu-chan's lab and The Doctor's TARDIS.)
Arc 2 - Space vessels, stations, colonies, and even individual worlds start showing up. (Worlds will be relatively 'stand-alones' in the political circles of the story they come from. Examples are Pandora from James Cameron's Avatar or Cybertron from Transformers.)
Arc 3 - Entire nations begin showing up; pretty much anything goes here. What'll be really funny is seeing how the galactic map suddenly 'shifts' to accommodate a new arrival.
Note on 'Bad Guys': Yes, they're out there. And someone right now is rounding them up. Why? *Evil grin* Why spoil the fun? Just know that given whoever is brought over, an appropriate 'opposition' will be brought over as well. More will be revealed as Arc 1 progresses. You have been warned. (^_^)
