'''Room 47''' was a [[nightclub]] located around [[Central London|Central]] [[21st century London|London]]. It had advertisements around the city and was where [[Ruby Sunday]] first consciously met the [[Fifteenth Doctor]]. | |||
[[ | == Location == | ||
The nightclub was within walking distance of [[Henrik's, Central London|Henrik's]] [[department store]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Church on Ruby Road (novelisation)|chaptnum=Five|name="TCoRR novelisation 2"}}) which was located in [[Central London]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)|chaptnum=3|chaptname=Everything Changes|page=63}}) | |||
== History == | |||
In late [[2023]], a poster for Room 47 were present in the area of London which the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] first witnessed [[the Giggle (event)|the Giggle]]. [[The Toymaker]], when waving to the Doctor, stood in front of this poster. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) An image of this, including the poster, was the subject of the Doctor's request of [[human (Double Danger)|a human]] to find the differences between two versions of [[reality]] following a [[rupture]] in [[time]]. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Double Danger (game)|page=44}}) | |||
On [[23 December]], [[Ruby Sunday]] and her [[The Red Notes|bandmates]] [[Clark (The Church on Ruby Road)|Clark]], [[Trudy (The Church on Ruby Road)|Trudy]] and [[Big Jim]] went to the nightclub following the incident the day before at ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Church on Ruby Road (novelisation)|chaptnum=Four|name="TCoRR novelisation"}}) the [[King's Arms, London|King's Arms]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Devil's Chord (TV story)}}) where a [[Goblins (The Church on Ruby Road)|Goblin]] messed with Ruby's [[musical keyboard]]. Not knowing about the Goblin, Clark asked if anyone had figured out the cause and Trudy had discovered that the keyboard had been [[electrical plug|unplugged]]. As Ruby listened on, she contemplated about there being "no such thing as [[coincidence]]" before reminiscing about the ability of [[Sherlock Holmes]] to solve any [[crime]] by just using their [[wit]]s; Ruby didn't speak much, as her mind was still buzzing about all the [[accident]]s she had been in and her interview with [[Davina McCall (in-universe)|Davina McCall]]. | |||
When Ruby was about to say goodbye to her friends and return [[Sundays' home|home]], she noticed the [[Fifteenth Doctor]] dancing among the [[200 (number)|two hundred]] people dancing on the floor below to a catchy song. Transfixed, she idly brushed her now-room temperature [[gin and tonic]] off the table, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|name="TCoRR novelisation"}}) as a Goblin had moved it to the end of the table ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)}}) before the Doctor appeared by her side and caught it. He introduced himself to her as "[[Health and Safety]], gin and tonic division". He asked her if she knocked things over, and when she went to confess that she had been recently, the Doctor reminded her it was worse than that. Becoming cheery, he wished her a [[Merry Christmas]] and left, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)}}) After a moment of processing the strange interaction she dismissed the temptation to run after the Doctor. She went to place her drink back on the table, only for it to have been moved. It fell on the floor and shattered. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|name="TCoRR novelisation"}}) | |||
Ruby later remembered how she had celebrated [[Christmas]] at the nightclub and had watched the Doctor dance on the packed dancefloor. She described his joyful dance as one he knew everyone was watching, contrary to the belief that "[one] should dance like nobody's watching". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Who's the Doctor? (short story)|page=6}}) She also remembered knocking her drink when contemplating how she used to think that she was the "[[bad luck|unluckiest]] [[girl]] in the [[world]]". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Meet Ruby Sunday (short story)|page=10}}) | |||
In [[the Vlinx]]'s "final [[exam]]", ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Beat the Vlinx: Stage Five (game)|page=56}}) as part of a program to recruit new [[UNIT United Kingdom|UNIT]] agents, ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Beat thr Vlinx: Stage One (game)|page=14}}) question one asked what was the outfit that the Doctor wore when Ruby first met him.
