OPEN RP FOR ANYBODY (RP topic from oncoming_storms)

You have picked up a distress signal, and followed it to a hotel in London. All you are able to determine is that it is coming from someplace inside the hotel, and is not terrestrial in origin. What will you do? What will you find at the other end of the signal?

"But I've found a...oh, nevermind."

The receptionist was exceptionally unhelpful, so the Doctor darted down the hallways of the hotel, knocking on doors. One of them would be the person who sent the distress signal.

OOC: Open to all. Any universe, any time. If you want to have your pup be in this hotel and answer the door, just go for it! I won't be up toooooooo much later this evening, but I won't leave anybody hanging, I'll catch you asap tomorrow afternoon!

"Well, er...do you think perhaps you might have forgotten?" The Doctor lied to his double, which was, in his mind, a somewhat pathetic measure to have taken. If the man standing in the doorway was in fact the person he looked like, he knew he couldn't fool him for long. This shouldn't be happening, and they both knew it.

"You wouldn't happened to have sent out a distress signal, would you?" He wasn't waiting for answer, he didn't particuarly need one. He had simply meant to disrupt the somewhat awkward, troubled silence they had shared since his last comment.

There was something very wrong here. He sighed.

"No, I don't suppose you have."

"No, I haven't," the Doctor replied, narrowing his eyes at the other man. The statistics of two of him running into the same place were getting higher every year he bounced around, but two of the same incarnation after the same distress signal? That was pretty----

"Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?" he asked, craning his head to glance around.

Wait! No, topic at hand! He pulled out his timey-wimey device he'd been using to detect the signal and held it up.

"Have one of these?"

"I do, actually," the Doctor replied, brightening at the change of subject. Deep down, he knew this entire situation could mean nothing but some sort of immenent disaster, and was aware that he should probably feel a good deal more worried than he currently was. But for the moment, he was glad to move on to something he could understand, for the most part.

He opened the door a bit wider, deciding it was safe now that the person knocking had proved not to be another confused roomservice worker, and motioned for his double to come inside. His nearly identical timey-wimey detector lay motionless on the coffee table, and as he picked it up to compare it to the other, he was once again struck with the feeling that something was terribly, horribly wrong.

"Yours is bigger than mine!"

The Doctor's jaw dropped, "You've got a wattage detector on yours! I couldn't seem to get mine to work!" Oh, the complete unfairness! Unfair! It was---

He picked up his double's detector. "My, but we are brilliant, aren't we?"

He grinned widely, "Right! So, now we've got time and space disturbances, a mysterious signal, and space folding in on itself so that two of the same man from the same universe can stand facing each other without universal destruction."

"Lovely, can't be too hard to figure out," he grinned, a wide, bright grin that he guessed mirrored the one in front of him. This was going to be fun, he decided, fun or terribly, horribly devestating. He obviously rather hoped for the former.

"I say we track down this distress signal first, as whoever sent it must be in distress and, as you said, the fact that there are two of us standing in the same room doesn't seem to be causing much distress, which is somewhat distressing if you think about it, since all logic says we should be in a significant amount of distress at this point, so..." he paused, not entirely sure he could remember where he was going with this, "Oh, you know what I mean," he concluded, finally.

He walked up to his double and took back his timey-wimey detector. There was a light blinking on it, one which hadn't been blinking a minute ago. A quick look at his twin's detector revealed the same light. His eyes reached the other man's.

"How about that distress signal, then?"

Did he know what the other man meant?

"Yes, yes I do."

He raised an eyebrow to the blinking light. Subatomic waves, and coming from a specific location, which was most certainly not what he was expecting.

"Right, I'd know what watt this was running at, but I don't have that one on mine." Enough pouting, yes? "This way!" He darted out the door, stopped, and turned around. "This way!"

"It's the other way!"

The Doctor pointed desperately in the opposite direction down the hallway, hoping he might get through to his double. The signal was most definitely coming from the left, there was no doubt about it. It was running at a rather high watt, he noticed, which was extremely unusual for such a small signal.

But then, there really wasn't much about this day that wasn't unusual. He stepped out into the hallway, opposite his double, towards the left.

"Are you coming?"

What a difficult fellow! The Doctor wondered if he was that way to his companions, but decided that he was most certainly more patient than this man was being!

"Right. Okay. We've got the subatomic waves, and the---" he glanced at his double's controller, "Why is that watt so high? That doesn't make sense. Would've noticed power surges by now, I think."

He glanced at the lightbulbs around the hallways, "No power surges. Are you sure that thing's working properly?"

OOC: Sorry for the long delay, RL's been kickin' my butt!

"Yes, it's working properly!" Or at least, it should have been working properly. He had just upgraded it a few hours ago, made repairs, added a wattage detector, made it more compact (which he was unfortunately beginning to regret) there was no possible way there could be anything wrong with it.

Although...his double, as little as he wanted to admit it, had a point.

"So...where's our power surge gotten to, then?"

This is where the just-on-cue dramatic rumble of thunder and flash of lightning occurred just outside the hotel windows.

"Unrestrained power..."

He looked upwards.

"Stairs!"

OOC: You're doing a great job! This is lots of fun to play opposite!!
