The Chest of Stars

Oh. Oh! Wow.

[the speaker is a young man, probably in his early twenties, with messy black hair and a white shirt under a leather jacket. when he speaks, his accent is unmistakably British--and quite posh, to boot. but his voice is also very nasal, and that combined with his way of speaking lend a rather dorky quality to him overall, though his appearance is nothing like the stereotype]

This is amazing! Is this...could I be inside the TARDIS' Star Chamber?

[he is standing on a floor--or perhaps ground--of polished black metal. if he is inside a building, though, there is no sign of walls anywhere. all that he can see is a huge, bright expanse of stars above and black metal floor stretching as far as the eye can see]

It's...a bit like it. But it couldn't be, could it? [he taps a foot on the ground] He never mentioned another viewing platform, and this isn't even what it looked like wh--oh! Isn't that Orion? [he points at the constellation, as though he's showing it to someone else] But where is Taurus? And what is Ursa Major doing there? [he pauses, frowning] If that even is Ursa Major...

[he starts forward, his expression filled with wonder and his gaze focused on the stars since they appear to be the only changing part of the landscape] Whatever this is, it's really quite fascinating! I should be recording this... [he fishes in the pocket of his jacket, producing a dictaphone of the sort one might find in the late 80's or early 90's--portable casette tape and all--and presses to begin recording] Will Arrowsmith here. I seem to have lost my way in the TARDIS again. I'm in a room similar to the Star Chamber, though rather than observing the galaxy through glass, I appear to be...walking across within it. Not to mention, several of the constellations around me are familiar, so I can only assume this must be a simulation of some sort, perhaps using aspects of multiple galaxies including our own. I seem to be walk--ahh!

[he cuts off abruptly with a yelp as the floor drops beneath him and he falls over backwards at the top of what seems to be a flight of stairs, leading down through the metal floor into darkness below]

Oh my...

[ooc: Meet Will Arrowsmith! He's a bit eccentric but generally a nice guy. The basic premise here is an inexplicable starry landscape (not actually in the TARDIS) with a stairway that can go anywhere you'd like it to go. If you'd rather play something else, just comment with a new prompt. Come one, come all!]
