What the fuck is going on here?

Those freaks at the hospital fed me some horse shit about being fictional, but what's really going on? Terrorists? Did they bring me here 'cause I'm a mutant, or don't they discriminate?

They don't seem to discriminate in terms of who is brought here, no. We've got regular humans, mutants like yourself, other humans with all sorts of powers and abilities, and aliens like me.

They tell everyone the fictional story, and they certainly seem to believe it, but I don't think anyone else does. Or, at least, that's not all there is to it.

In my opinion, we all seem to have bled through the cracks between realities - or else we were pulled through. Many here are certainly from worlds not my own, some where the basic laws of nature are radically different.

There seems to be no way out, unfortunately. There's a forcefield surrounding the island, and despite all our power and all our abilities, nobody has yet managed to get through, and some have been here over a year now.

What's more, time and even reality itself are much more wibbly here than they ought to be - strange stuff happens that nobody can explain. It could be a result of the cracks we came through or just a feature of this reality.

I'm the Doctor, by the way! What's your name?

[coinmover]

They discriminate, if more subtly. But it's not why you were brought here, no.

You look familiar. And you're from the same world I am, I think. Have we met?

[geminated_man]

What, you got some kinda bullshit power too? Christ, place is gettin' overrun.

[runningwithknives]

It's Logan. [After a few moments of attempting to absorb the rest of that, snorts.]

So you're an alien doctor who's bled through a "crack in reality." Really. What planet are you from?

[icanbuyafez]

Nice to meet you, Logan!

Basically! I'm from the planet Gallifrey.

[runningwithknives]

Why was I brought here then? [It's because his charming personality, right?]

Can't say that I've ever seen you before, kid. There are a lot of people in the world.

[coinmover]

Yes, I have much the same problem narrowing it down.

Some of these people have been corralled here for over a year and a half with no concrete reason. Because we were available, I suspect. Because something about us was interesting. Mutation is only one possible answer.

In any case. Erik Lensherr. And you are?

[runningwithknives]

...What's your problem?

[geminated_man]

Oh, nothin's wrong with me, man. Just not used to seein' other people all out in the open about it, I guess.

[gargoyle_of_red]

A mutant? You don't look very... mutated.

[calmyourmind]

They really do not seem to have much of an identifiable preference on who they bring here. You are not alone, however. There are many of us here against our will. Mutant and humans alike. As well as a few other interesting individuals.

I am sorry, but you may be here a while, my friend. We have not yet found a way off of this island.

[halfdevil]

you know

i never got a good answer to this

[runningwithknives]

Never heard of it.

What makes you an alien? I mean.. you look like a guy from Earth.

[icanbuyafez]

No - you look timelord! We came first.

[runningwithknives]

Bullshit. Unless Magneto had a kid and named it after himself, and nobody thought to mention it to me.

[runningwithknives]

No sense in hiding in a situation like this.

[runningwithknives]

You do realise we don't all look like you?

[gargoyle_of_red]

I'm not a mutant! I'm a gargoyle! And the mutants I've seen aren't... as human as you.

[runningwithknives]

How many people do they got stuck here, and... how interesting are we talking? Not human and not mutant. What else is there?

[runningwithknives]

Which part?

[halfdevil]

the real or fake bullshit.

[icanbuyafez]

As for the differences between timelords and humans - well, timelords have a binary vascular system, enhanced intelligence, low level psychic abilities, unusual temporal perception, and we can regenerate.

[coinmover]

So we have met, then. I haven't been going by Magneto for more than three or four months.

[calmyourmind]

Super humans, Extra-terrestrials, nations.

[He sounds vaguely skeptical himself, but he's seen too much of this island to dismiss what he's seen.]

You will see a lot of unexpected and potentially unexplainable things on this island.

[runningwithknives]

[Most of that goes right over his head, so he goes with one of the few bits he's familiar with.] "Low-level"? How psychic are you?
