+1 Doctor

[not_the_question]

The Doctor arrives in the Nexus.  And he's not sure how he got here.  Not that it matters.  He has no TARDIS and no memories of Clara.  All he has are the clothes on his back, his sonic specks, and his trusty guitar.  Okay, he has a little rucksack filled with a change of clothes and other odds and ends that he's collected on his quest.

He looks around and this place looks... rather American, considering.  Of course, everything looked American to him these days, he's spent far too long in the States looking first for the TARDIS and then for Clara.  He so far has been unsuccessful at both.

"Excuse me, has anyone seen someone called Clara?"




{{OOC: The Doctor's Canonpoint will be in flux until I figure out which one is best for this setting.  I'll make it clear in his threads.}}

"I was asleep, so I don't remember those years."

Link scratched his ear. "But, Zelda gave me that time back after we defeated Ganondorf."

[not_the_question]

"How did she manage that?"

Because he's a Time Lord and even he can't do that.

[younghero]

"She's a sage...and she used the Ocarina of Time."

Short answer: Magic.

[not_the_question]

"This... Ocarina of Time... What is it? How does it work? What does it do?"

Because Time is his thing. Why would anyone mess with the fabric of time?

[younghero]

Link held up the cobalt and gold instrument. "My Zelda gave it back to me. If you play the right song you can travel through time....or across Hyrule."

He'd play to demonstrate, but he didn't know if it would work here.

[not_the_question]

"Music as time travel... the TARDIS would be jealous. What's Hyrule?"

All these foreign names. He's not in the states now. Where had he ended up. And why?

[younghero]

"It's a world....a kingdom. The Gorons, Zora, Hylians, Kokiri all live there. Termina is another world, it's almost a mirror of Hyrule in some ways. I've been to both."

Link was glad he had found someone who believed him.

[not_the_question]

"Ah different planets and different... ruling parties."

Okay, he can work with that. He's done all sorts of travelling.

"So... how did you end up here?"

Wherever 'here' is....

[younghero]

"I walked. S'better than getting to Termina, I fell there."

Link smiled a little.

[not_the_question]

"You fell. Like walked off the edge of your planet and fell to that one?"

Oh his head. He'll get back to 'walking' here. That doesn't surprise him as much, since he had been dozing in a truck and woke up here... he thinks.

[younghero]

"I think magic was used, but, yeah."

He sincerely hoped this place needed less saving than Termina. Watching people die over and over was too much even for him.

[not_the_question]

Right. Creepy, but not entirely unheard of...

"So, do you know where we are now?"

[younghero]

"No sir."

Link looked around and shook his head. Things looked fairly alien to him.

[not_the_question]

"So let me get this straight: You don't know where we are. You walked to get here. When other things have happened, it has been by magic. And you think you can help me find Clara?"

Doctor doesn't believe anything now, Link, sorry.

[younghero]

Link sighed. Without warning he gave a cry and kicked over a large planter of mums, shattering it.

"Watch."

He lifted the ocarina and played a lullaby, his Zelda's lullaby. He swayed gently, closing his eyes. As Link played, the planter repaired itself, so that not so much as a leaf was out of place.

"See?"

[not_the_question]

"Very atmospheric. Not the part I care about."

He pauses.

"Unless it will take me to Clara."

[younghero]

"Unless she's in a Temple, probably not."

[not_the_question]

"then my doubt of your ability to help me is sound. Don't take it so personally."

Because, seriously? That was quite the overreaction.

[younghero]

"Huh?"

Link was puzzled. "Those are the only places it has taken me to..."

[not_the_question]

"I mean, don't take my doubt in you so personally that you feel like you have to prove yourself. You don't. I doubt everything."

Which is more or less true. Sometimes less than more.

[younghero]

"Oh."

Link looked at his feet.

"Sorry."

[not_the_question]

"Not needed. I thought I just explained it was my fault, not yours."

It's been billions of years since the Doctor has had to really deal with much of anything like this... He's a bit rusty.
