Galactic Vacationing - Wednesday

The Danger Shop was set up like a park with trees and a pond and ducks. Well, they were blue ducks. Blue ducks with teeth. The sky was an odd colour too, pink to satisfy the galactic portion of the workshop even though they weren't really doing all that much today. "Okay," the Doctor said when a significant group of people had gathered. "Last week didn't exactly lend itself to introductions. You all know who I am. When vacationing on your own, it's a good idea to get to know the people around you. Pick up a friend in the lobby of a hotel or in a park," he gestured around, "and get to know them while you're running around madly. Go on then. Get to know each other today, since you'll be running around with each other over the next few weeks. Show some manners. Name, when and where you're from and somewhere you want to visit."

"I'm Toby from Dante's Cove. What do you mean when? Like now?" He looked confusedly around at the other students. "I'd like to visit Paris. It always sounded so romantic."

"Name's Kevin. Just like two weeks ago I was on a small island staying in a place called Dante's Cove. And, ah, I've always wanted to visit those Mayan ruin things." He grinned, proud to have remembered the name.

It's entirely possible Kevin doesn't really understand the meaning of 'galactic' vacationing.

"My name is Ella of Frell, I am from now but in a very different world," Ella began. "I've always wanted to see the Ayorthaian court. They're known for their singing and great beauty."

It had nothing at all to do with the prince who was visiting there. Really.

"Gwen Cooper, from Cardiff, now, and I suppose Virginia might be nice to visit."

Gwen could be a wee bit of a smart arse sometimes.

"Worf," he said briskly. "Originally from Qo'noS."

He thought for a second before adding: "Minsk."

"Dōjima Yurika, from present-day Tokyo," she said, keeping a wary eye on the ducks. "I think I'd like to go to Antarctica sometime, just because I've never been somewhere without cities."

"I also owe a friend of a friend a penguin, and sending him a live one would be funnier than a stuffed doll."

"Cal Stephanides; originally from Detroit, Michigan, 1976."

It might be noted that Cal? Also happened to be vaguely sparkly thanks to the clinging remains of a pink glitter shower. He was hoping no one would see it.

He paused before he came up with something for the other part.

"I think I'd like to visit Turkey. I've got to help rebuild a church there some day."

"Liir Thropp, from Oz. And I don't really have anywhere I'd like to visit."

Except, perhaps, Oz. And only as a visit.

"My name is Inara Serra, I'm from a planet called Shinon and approximately 500 years in this planet's future." That was still a little odd to say, yes. "I'd like to visit another planet outside this solar system, if it's possible."

Toby was disturbed by the ducks.

"Why are they blue? Seriously? Teeth?"

He stared at the fowl in total awe.

A duck kept pecking at Ella's bootlaces, apparently thinking them a tasty snack. She squawked and dodged away.

The duck followed her.

She moved again, hiding her shoes under her skirts.

The duck hesitated to form a duckish thought, then dove beneath them.

This might be a long class.

Worf stood at attention. And glared at any ducks that tried to come near him.
