Adventuring Survival Tactics, April 6. Period 4

The Doctor's paint-splattered classroom had no chairs. No bean bags. No swatches of carpet. The desk was gone.

Was the room entirely empty, then? Of course not. There were matresses. Lining the floors. The walls. Everything. The room was entirely padded with matresses. (and how did they get there? He has a time and space machine that can travel anywhere and is bigger on the inside and the out. He does these sort of things). So once everyone sat down, he began his lecture.

"First of all, I would like to make a statement that public nudity is not acceptable where the law prohibits such acts," the Doctor said. "Second, I'd like to talk a bit about redemption. No, I'm not going to tell you about any sort of religious savior, don't worry. I may have padded the walls but that does not mean I've gone mad. What I am saying, is that sometimes, some of the worst people in the universe can become some of the greatest. It all just depends on what they're doing. Ex-nazis helped put a man on the moon, the Renaissance bred warfare death and wonderful art, but really, that's not what I'm getting at, either."

The Doctor paused for a moment.

"There is such a thing as irreedemable evil. But in the long run, it's very hard to reach that. I've committed terrible acts in my life, but also acts of great good. The same goes for the Master, if you remember him from my previous classes. Now admittedly, a lot of the great acts I've seen from people who have done great wrongs are the type that involve self-sacrifice to save people from the bad things they'd done. But that's not always the case. Lives can always be rededicate to good. Never be too quick to judge a fellow who seems to have had a change of heart. Suspicion is all well and good, but don't let yourself be too tainted by their past misdeeds. Unless they are Charles Manson, because that fellow is just a right nutter."

The Doctor smiled and went a bit more in depth into the subject in a totally modable way.

"As for the rest of the class... have fun with the padded room. I'll be sitting here, eating an apple."

And he sat down, and proceeded to start eating an apple.

"I... lost my clothes," the Doctor said, stuffing a mattress through the TARDIS doors.

"You wha--?" Rose stared at him, "How on Earth could you lose your clothes?"

Re: After Class

"That's a very good question," the Doctor said. "I wish I had an answer."

"Waaait," Rose said, blocking his path to the TARDIS, "Repeat that again, you, the great an' all mighty Doctor don't know?"

Re: After Class

This was the Doctor, trying to brush it off as if it wasn't a big deal. "Haven't the foggiest," he said.

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no, you're not going to get off that easy, Doctor." Rose was grinning widely, "Not only were you naked but best of all you didn't know how it happened! It's like Christmas!"

Re: After Class

The Doctor scowled. "You're really enjoying this, aren't you?"

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"You have no idea," Rose said, not even bothering to stop smiling, "Makes up for not being there and not seeing you turn naked. You sure you weren't off preparin' for some... dancin'?"

Re: After Class

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Naked dancing?" The Doctor said. "What ever could... what are you implying?"

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose raised her eyebrows, "What d'you think?"

Re: After Class

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"I'm not saying it, if that's what you're trying to make me do," the Doctor said. "Your mind's in the gutter, it is."

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"What do you expect me to think you running around in you birthday suit an' all?"

"You've spent too much time with Jack," the Doctor said.

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"C'mon Doctor, I've been like this even before Jack," Rose said, "Remember Adam?"

Re: After Class

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor rolled his eyes. "Yes, I remember him."

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"I know, not the best of examples but, hey, you liked Jack didn't you?"

Re: After Class

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"That doesn't mean I approve of insinuations," the Doctor said.

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

She wasn't buying, "Yeah, right, who was it that kept on with Miss Tree lady Jabe, eh?"

Re: After Class

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"Oi, now you're just taking the piss, you are," the Doctor said.

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Wasn't me havin' a stroll in the buff, was I?"

Re: After Class

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

The Doctor paused. "Bet you've done your fair share of streaking and or skinny dipping in your time."

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"That's for me to know, Doctor and for you to imagine." She winked at him cheekily.
