[ There's a quick test post. ]

[ What nonsense. Aurican certainty doesn't know what it means - he doesn't even know what the alphabet is, let alone texting. He's currently looking after the strange reflective device, occasionally lightening up as he presses against the screen. He makes an accidental video post. There, the video post shows a frustrated little boy, looking maybe around five, six years old? Seven? He's freaking young, maybe one of the youngest imPorts by all appearances. He sounds like a frustrated little boy, and this is what is most upsetting to Aurican. This is not his real voice, after all. ]

This looks like a gem's reflection. I can see my face now. Can anyone see me in this?

[ The last question he looks up at someone. It's from an older native, from the sounds of it, affirming, yes, that how it works. Aurican looks down at the screen. ]

Can someone take me back to the Darkness Beyond? I shouldn't gone in there, I didn't know it would take me here. How can I get back?

[ Aurican was told by the natives about the Porter business and how he is here, but there were so many things said that he doesn't know or understand - what is a city? What is Registration? What is a house? What is that light up above that nearly blinded Aurican as he left the Porter building? - that for they might as well speaking in gibberish for all the good it is does. ]

Can I change back? I can't walk -

[ Oops he pressed the SEND button, apparently. How was he supposed to know that? ]

[Oh hi network, are you tired of people being affected by this weirdness yet? Yes? Too bad, because here is the normally grouchy, dour robot... looking into the camera with a smile--]

[Yes, that's right. He's smiling. Openly.]

I woke up far from home. But... that isn't a problem.

Look at what I found on the way back to the house.

[Okay, first of all, Kagerou has never set foot in his assigned housing. Nor expressed a desire to. Second of all, he doesn't even notice the change.]

[He's too busy turning the camera to show off this thing he's found.]

[... a dog park.]

There are so many of them... what is it?

[ The comm is obviously the Doctor's. And the background is obviously the Doctor's room in Heropa 11 (if you know what the Doctor's room looks like, that is). But there's some sort of hodge-podge device made up entirely of junk and taking up the majority of the bed. There's a fez sitting on a bedpost because the Doctor has money and Heropa has stores so the Doctor can buy hats. And the person who's grinning at the camera like a maniac is definitely not the Doctor. If it wasn't the lack of eyebrows, it's the bowtie and the fact that this Doctor looks like he'd be grumpy granddad Doctor's kid.

There's also a possum that's hanging out on his shoulders. Yeah, space granddad's affected like HELL due to the current plot. ]

Hellooooooo Heropa! Doctor here, or at least a Doctor, or at least a Doctor that you might not know, though that's the thing, isn't it! I don't know if you know me or not, isn't this fun? [ This Doctor does not shut up. ] But I do know that thanks to a few conversations with a few friends and a little bit of poking around here and there that some things aren't just adding up.

Now, someone mentioned magic. I don't know anything about magic, magic's not my wheelhouse, bother someone else if you want magic, but what I do know about are timelines. People who know people who've got weird memory issues, speak up! Who's affected, who's missing bits and pieces, who's backstories weirdly don't line up with your backstories, this might be a timey wimey problem and I'm the king of timey wimey.

[ There's a pause, while the possum yawns. ] Oh yes! This is Murray, by the way, he's informed me that he's quite happy with his living circumstances though he'd enjoy it if he had a few eggs. I think I'm taking Murray with me if the TARDIS ever were to show up here—he'll be new Handles.

[ another pause before ] Oh and also, I do hope that I wasn't the one who came up with the sonic sunglasses. There's nothing wrong with the screwdriver, screwdrivers are classic, screwdrivers are cool. Tell the other-Doctor if he shows up again that I'm rather put out by the changes! Right, Doctor out!
