Romana had been meaning to do something like this for a while - listen to more Earth music. She was most familiar with the culture of the 1970′s because of the Doctor, so she decided to go a bit further to see how it evolved, to the 1980s. She happened to land in London in 1988, having been vague with her instructions to the ship.
Still a little unused to how fast Earth’s culture changed, she ended up overestimating and dressed in an outfit more akin to 1990: a pair of very light high waisted jeans with pale roses printed all over them, a soft v-neck sweater in the same colour as the roses tucked into her jeans, a pair of chestnut leather Chelsea boots, and a leather belt in the same shade keeping her pants cinched at the waist. It was close enough that she wouldn’t turn too many heads, but fresh enough to likely be unintentionally trendsetting. After tying her hair back in a half ponytail with a matching pink ribbon and donning a pair of rose tinted Lennon glasses, she grabbed a chestnut leather purse and was off. The TARDIS, staying behind her, was disguised as a 1980s style walk-in police box. The cheek.
Compared to other times she’d been on Earth, this time seemed very... loud. The colours were all quite bright and everything was starting to explode technology wise. It was very fascinating to Romana, and she got distracted on her path to listening to the new songs until she found a music store selling records and CDs. She didn’t buy any, but she did listen to several of them.
It was nearly night by the time she left the store, and she wandered around for a while until she picked up on some absolutely incredible sounds. Following the music, she found herself at a club where people could play up on the stage. Currently there was a very handsome man commanding the stage who clearly knew his way up, down, and around the guitar he was playing. It was mesmerising - enough that she went right up and sat down to listen near the stage, never taking her eyes off the instrument. It was even more so when he began to sing, and Romana decided then and there to stay for as long as whoever on stage was playing.
