Where am I?

Like really am? Really-really? I got the entire you're-fictional bit but I'm going to keep my skeptical mindset about that one for a while and skip questioning that and go right to what planet are we on? Where on what planet? You can't be too sure these days. And the year? -Is The Doctor here?

Does anyone know?

Obviously you weren't. Bowties have returned with a vengeance.

[sasstastic]

... I'd say it could be worse but...

[therecipe]

Don't jinx it. You'll end up in another colorful coat.

[sasstastic]

How do you know about the coat?

[therecipe]

Long story. No time to tell it.

[sasstastic]

We're stuck here, there's plenty of time.

[therecipe]

I'm not entirely sure I can tell you. I'd be telling you before you know! Is there a word for that?

[sasstastic]

Paradoxes. Usually very dangerous, shouldn't let 'em happen.

They don't matter here for some reason. We're separate time lines, as far as I can tell.

[therecipe]

Why wouldn't it matter here? How's it a separate time lines?
Does that mean this isn't really happening?

[sasstastic]

Not exactly. It's happening but it won't have repercussions in our universe.

Very good, though.

[therecipe]

Thank you.

But if there's no repercussions there for what happens here, does that mean we never go back?
We're stuck on an alternate line forever and some other you is back in our universe not knowing you ever met me until much much later?

[sasstastic]

I keep picking cheerful ones, don't I?

And no... not necessarily. I'm assuming we are reinserted into our respective time-lines with the memories of this place locked until it's safe to remember.

[therecipe]

Hey, I'm cheerful! I'm loads of cheerful sometimes. I'm only asking so I know if I can say things and to make sure I'm really me right now.

That sounds a lot better though. Locked memories. I like that. I'm going to assume your assumption's right. You know more about this than I do.

[sasstastic]

... why wouldn't you be you? What did I get you into?

[therecipe]

What did you get me into? What if I got myself into something? Do you take the blame like that often?

Maybe I have split personalities and I'm all paranoid and it has nothing to do with you at all, hm? It's not that but if it was you can't go saying you got me into anything but your box for sure.

[sasstastic]

If you got into anything it's 'cause I brought you there. People who travel with me are my responsibility.

[therecipe]

But you only brought me anywhere because I came to you and then you came to me and then I went to you and-- Oh! Paradox! How's that even work?

We'd have to figure out how it starts to get to the right person to blame and it doesn't start because it's a big circle of me paradox.

[sasstastic]

I'm the Time Lord, I know better— should know better.

[therecipe]

But you wouldn't have known to know better because it's already a paradox that nobody figured out until it had to go paradox-cycle over, right? Right?

If it makes you feel any better, you said 'No, Clara don't' and I went and did it anyway.

[sasstastic]

That helps a lot, thanks.

[therecipe]

You're welcome.

[sasstastic]

What is it that you did?

[therecipe]

Are you positive the universe isn't going to implode if I tell you?

[sasstastic]

If learning my future was dangerous it would've imploded already.

[therecipe]

Okay. Point taken. I guess it's fine.

Although this is kind of the only thing I know ahead of you, right? Maybe I should hold it and be all mysterious.
