One day, no matter where you happen to be, you spot something you've never seen before and immediately notice is completely out of place: A blue police box.
The dark blue box is about 10 feet (or 3 meters) tall resembling a phone booth from the planet Earth in the mid-20th century and has the words "Police Box" inscribed along the top on each side in white lettering (assuming your character is literate). Each side has a pair of windows divided into panes at the top underneath the lettering and a light on the center of the roof. In the unlikely event your character is tall enough (or has the ability to fly or levitate) to look in the high windows, they find they are solid white and it is impossible to see inside although they are lit up from an interior source. There is a small, white notice on the door that reads: "Free for Use of Public," "Advice & Assistance," "Officers & Cars Respond to Urgent Calls" and "Pull To Open".
Before your character has a chance to open it, an explosion is heard inside. The doors burst open a few seconds later and a disheveled looking, wild-eyed man with slicked back hair and a slightly tattered suit steps out followed by a cloud of smoke. He coughs and hacks for several moments and then locks eyes with you. "Hey, yoouse," he says gruffly, pointing in your direction.
Where the police box is seen is entirely up to you and what is appropriate to your character's setting. That may be inside a space station, below deck on a pirate ship, suburban backyard, the middle of a park, a clearing in the woods, etc. Please choose and describe the setting where you encounter the police box in your opening post according to what makes sense to your character along with what they were doing prior to spotting it.
OOC guidelines (read in full before posting):
Please read the 'Meet Cute' event description before replying if you have not or don't know what this event is about. A meet cute RP is specifically between exactly 2 people (1x1) . Any kind of character from any genre and any experience level and aged writer is welcome. Someone with at least minimum knowledge of the series "Doctor Who" is strongly preferred.
It is understood that if you join, your character will investigate The Police Box and approach The Doctor when he emerges. Since this is a special event with a time limit, there isn't time for you to play hard to get. If you have no intention of interacting, or that is not something your character would do, or you aren't sure you have the available bandwidth to participate for the duration of the Meet Cute event, then please... don't. That will allow someone else who does to utilize this opportunity.
Please do not jump in or ask if you can be part of the RP once someone responds. First come, first served. The thread will be marked "closed" at my earliest convenience after getting a reply to remove it from the active event list indicating no new players will be accepted. If the above sounds good and no one else has replied, write your reply below. It's okay to make a quick post to 'hold' the spot and then edit your post later so you don't have to throw something together on the spot. Happy to do a little planning via direct message, but we'll play here in this thread.
Notes and other stuff:
I am an adult and live in the US Central time zone. This incarnation of The Doctor is not canon to the series.

[Hold- I'm interested in this Meet Cute event! It's currently 1:25 AM in the morning for me, but I'll write up a reply as soon as I can!]
((OOC: Perfect! Welcome! No need to pull an all-nighter. I'll give you a chance to let you edit and you can just PM me when you're happy with it. I'll edit this post as a response. Emburr has claimed the spot, so no other characters will be accepted!))
