Whoniverse: UNIT Barracks

[basic_powers]

Well, since having that lovely cafeteria date with Martha Jones, Tyler now knows just a bit more about this world than he did when he arrive. He knows that UNIT was created some time ago to combat aliens threats, the man who founded it being called 'The Brigadier' and that Martha joined UNIT because of a job offer right after medical school.

He's also learned that he's not to leave the base without an escort.

What Martha learned was the story that he's sticking to, and some minor details. Tyler was mostly raised by his uncle Ray, the mushroom samples were going for two different sorts of research, toxin and body enhancement. She's also learned that the contents of the sample case will be destroyed if someone tampers with the box.

She also got to see Tyler's reaction to being told he can't leave the base.

Which leads everyone to this current universe, planet, continent, time and location, with a bored and cabin-feverish young man staring up at the ceiling of the barracks and debating the worth od trying to escape using everything he has.

...Blink.

"How?"

[basic_powers]

"I turned my back on my sock drawer."

[born-running.livejournal.com]

Sympathetic wince.

[basic_powers]

"That's the part that gets me. It hid in my sock drawer. It was either brilliant or mad, and possibly both."

Pause.

"It does lead to some interesting bedroom habits and conversation though."

[born-running.livejournal.com]

"Like what?" Luke says, unthinking.






UM.

Question Boy strikes again?

[basic_powers]

..He always strikes again.

The best way to end the questions is to get ahead of them.

"Right, you'd have to see it to know the questions."

Luke is not sure what is socially appropriate to go here, so he doesn't say anything.

[basic_powers]

...Really, if he'd known dropping off his jeans and his breifs (do not ever crimefight in boxers for they will fuck your junk UP) would have made Luke not ask as many questions, he'd've done it the night he arrived.

..There's...a couple scars above the hip.

"It's the one that looks a bit like an 11 pointed star. Thing had a circular mouth and that number of teeth."

[born-running.livejournal.com]

He's peering at it, trying to sort out what the sock drawer creature was from the scar.

Clearly, this is EXACTLY the right time to get distracted by scientific curiousity. "I don't think I know about this species."

[basic_powers]

"Well, all that's left of it is a stain on the floor of a dorm room somewhere in Ohio."

[born-running.livejournal.com]

"What year?"

[basic_powers]

..Pause.

"...local time was 2019 if I recall correctly."

[born-running.livejournal.com]

"But not for you?"

SHARP, THIS ONE.

[basic_powers]

"....given the number of times I've been thrown about the multiverse into various times, I can easily say it was about 6 years ago for me." How many of those trips were voluntary is something only Tyler knows.

[born-running.livejournal.com]

"Relative time."

Luke nods. HE KNOWS THIS RELATIVE TIME OF WHICH YOU SPEAK.

[basic_powers]

"Relative time." Beat. "Scared the crap out of my date at the time too."

There's more scars than just ol'eleven-teeth back there.

[born-running.livejournal.com]

...Confused Luke is confused. "You were on a date?"

Is showing off your sock drawer a dating activity now? D: HE DID NOT GET THE MEMO.

[basic_powers]

Not really showing off, but when your safesex kit is stored in the sock drawer...

"Was. We didn't hook up again after that."

Obvious reasons of course.
