Adventuring Survival Tactics, Period 4, A Classroom, 4/12/07

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor didn't have desks in the classroom today.

He had little swatches of carpet. About 18 inches by two feet, rectangular. In various moddable styles and colors. He gestured as for the students to sit on these bits of carpet. After the opening bell rang, he smiled.

"This is Adventuring Survival Tactics," the Doctor said. "And the first adventuring sruvival tactic you need you learn is that those carpets EAT PEOPLE!"

He made spooky fingers.

"Okay, maybe they don't," the Doctor said. "But they could. One some strange planet. Now something else to keep in mind is what you are, in fact, capable of. So that's today. It's a getting to know yourself, and each other, exercise. You'll tell us all your name, what you think your greatest strength is, what you think your greatest weakness is, and the weirdest fact you can think to share about yourself."

He brushed off his jacket. "I'll begin. My name is The Doctor. My greatest strength is, of course, being as fantastic as I am. My greatest weakness is the very rare ocassion when I am overconfident. The strangest thing about me is that I've suffered eight circumstances that would normally have been fatal, but I live on." He nodded. "Your turn."

After everyone shared, he smiled and clapped his hands together. "Fantastic. Now then, you're welcome to talk with your fellow students about the following situation for the rest of the hour. No homework for the next week, because I'm nice like that. Now, discussion topic. What would you carry in your pockets if you knew you were going out into a dangerous place. No backpack, no. Pockets only. What're you bringing? Discuss."

He was a bit smug at that. He knew that no one else had dimensionally transcendental pockets.

"Lovely woman," the Doctor said. "Has a bit of a mouth on her, admittedly."

Rose smirked, grinning. "Yeah, just a bit."

"Get along well, you two?" the Doctor asked.

Re: After Class

"Yeah, I think so." Rose said after a thought, "Was surprised I was alive though but she's taking it rather well. Being here and around you I guess she's used to strange surprises."

"I suppose that's true," the Doctor said. "You should try to meet up with Daisy, some time. She's also a teacher here."

"I'll look her up sometime," Rose promised. "I've met a few teachers here Vader, John Winchester and Josh Lyman. Oh, and Aziraphale. He said he knew you. Both of your regenrations."

She said the last lightly.

"Yeah, apparently I was here already. Odd. Had to deal with a bit of stuff with the fallout of what he'd been up to," the Doctor said. "Odd fellow, him."

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, he was sort of odd. Not as grumpy as you for a start and with more fashion sense and an oral fixation I didn't know you had." Oh, no, she hadn't been replaying those scenes in her mind over and over and over again. Then said, with a too sweet smile. "Fallout? What fallout?"

Re: After Class

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Who cares about fallout," the Doctor said. "You just accused me of an oral fixation, you did. What's that about, eh?"

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Because you do, or will have an oral fixation thing. And there's no use in you denying it, I've seen your Tenth regeneration do it enough times to know." She said, yeah, more memories she replayed again and again.
