Adventuring Survival Tactics, Period 4, A Classroom, 2/2/07

Today, the classroom had pillows. Lots and lots of pillows. The Doctor was standing, with a smug grin on his face. When everyone had gathered, he spoke.

"Sex. If you're going to get all righteous and uptight on me, you're officially excused out the door right now and you can go watch Davey and Goliath clips on YouTube or whatever it is you boring people do. Anyone leaving?"

He paused, just in case anyone did.

"Now this isn't your stupid and silly tab a into slot b lesson. That... well, frankly, that's boring. I'm sure Mr. Harkness could share his expertise for multiple, well, yes, I'm not here to talk about what two humans can do with their block and tackle, right? This is about what happens when you get really friendly with a nice blue girl with mandibles or a scaly fellow who doesn't have lips. So now, please bear with me."

And then the doctor launched into a lengthy lecture. With gestures. Dolls and bizzare plushies as Visual aids. And some possibly psychologically scarring content about what one does with horns, mandibles, scales, tails, and, of course, tentacles.

"So now, pair up, one of you pretend to be a creature with different physiology, and chat each other up. If you need some ideas, there's some ~~tentacle porn~~ magazines under some of the pillows. No actual sex in my classroom, please. I'd get sacked, and that would be a bad thing. So... go ahead and do what comes naturally, eh?"

The Doctor is all smirky today.

"Remember the time I was married to a bird like alien princess?" Rose asked, immediately after the class. Not that she was lurking around the class room or anything. No, not her.

"You think I could forget that?" the Doctor said. "You're lucky I liked you and didn't use it as an example." There was a devilish twinkle in his eye.

"I was counting on that actually." Rose said, praying more like. She didn't think she could stand the mortification. "It was good thing that mess was cleared-up, yeah?"

She paused and shook her head. "Didn't know the day would come you'd actually come close to the subject of sex. After all your hints and jabs at the word 'dancing' I was wondering when you'll ever reach the actually... 'dancing' part."

The Doctor looked slightly startled. "Did I never tell you I'm a grandfather?"

Rose snorted. "Just like in the same way you never mentioned Sarah Jane. Took you years before you told me you were a dad once and you just left it off like it was trivial data. Typical."

"It.... didn't come up," the Doctor said. "Plain and simple."

"Didn't come up?" Rose repeated in disbelief. "I asked, who are you, you said 'I'm the Doctor', asked what are you, you just repeated same chapter and verse, add a few 'stupid apes' and 'Time Lords' then shake. "

She paused before she found herself in full rant, and that rant she saved for her Doctor, if she'll ever see him again.

"Anyway, the alien bird princess was I think one of our fun ventures with Jack landing us at the center of trouble. Still fuzzy on the details how you engineered our escape after the wedding, recall the running parts pretty well though." Rose was grinning by the end of the narration. Their better days indeed.

"You know, I should get you to talk to my class sometime," the Doctor said. "Just so they know my advice is, in fact, applicable."

"Not all of it," she replied automatically then realized what the Doctor was really saying. "Me? Talk in your class? You're kidding me, yeah?"

"I'm serious," the Doctor said. "If you're interested, I mean."

She suddenly felt shy, which was strange. She looked down then looked up at him a hesitant smile on her lips. "I'm interested, I'm very interested."

"Good. We can work out the details later," he said. "Anything else you stop by to reminisce about?"

Jack was trying to stay right on Isabel's heels as they left the classroom. Which meant he wasn't paying attention to anything else, and hadn't noticed that Rose had followed them out (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1217459.html?thread=71188403&style=mine#t71188403).

"We'll take it slow," Isabel said. "Let me know if you see these things again. Maybe I'll be able to stop them."

"Feeling any better or worse?" Rose asked Jack, then spared a glance at the student with him and nodded saying a distracted, "Hello."

"Isabel, we see these things, you run. Get the hell away, fast as you can." It was hard, not being able to touch her, but he looked at her as fiercely as he could before turning to Rose. "Rose, hey." He smiled and tried to touch her shoulder, an attempt that failed and his hand went through her. "Isabel kept me from getting worse."

Isabel gave him a look that clearly said he was delusional. "You're not getting rid of me until I get you back to Sam. No matter what happens." Turning, she eyed the newcomer, Another member of Jack's fan club.,

Rose's heart skipped a beat when his hand passed through her shoulder then she frowned.

"This is not good." She frowned but let it pass when she looked at the other student. Isabel, was it? "Thanks, how has he been?" She ignored Isabel's look but if Rose had a 'Been there before any of you, darling' it was not intentional. At all.

"Cold, tired," Isabel replied. "I'm going to walk him back to Sam's. She'll take care of him."

"I'll come with." Rose said in a tone that brook no opposition. Her time as team leader really did develop her bossy side.

"There's really no need," she said. "They're pretty strict about not letting anyone but students up into the dorms." Inwardly Isabel realized she was probably being a little harsher then necessary, but she was worried.

At that moment, Rose let out a string of british curses filled with 'bloodys' 'bleedings' 'sod it' and all manner of variation she could think of, there may even be a few stray alien curses mixed in and finally ending with a:

"Oh, that's a brilliant, policy that is! What if students get attacked? Teachers can't get past and we just bleeding stare at the bleeding creatures that bleeding attacked our students!" Frustrated anger made her growl.

She took out an earpiece and handed it to Jack, "If anything at all happens to you, you sneeze, you yawn, you comm me. Do you understand? Sod there bleeding policy an' a half!"

She turned to Isabel and handed her her card, the one with her name and number to the superphone. "Same as you, call me at anytime."

Jack actually took a couple of steps backwards, which put him half inside Isabel. "Rose?" he asked, but he realised there was no stopping her, and his hand went out automatically to try and take the earpiece, but it fell through his hand and bounced onto the floor. "Sorry."

Isabel stepped forward without thinking. Sharing space the closest she could get to hugging him for the moment. "Just relax. It's okay."
