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."

Toby was disturbed by the ducks.

"Why are they blue? Seriously? Teeth?"

He stared at the fowl in total awe.

"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.

Kevin frowned. "Dude, do you think they're like robot ducks?"

"Oh my god, I hadn't thought of that!" Toby said, looking at him in shock. "Aren't robots like, evil?"

"I'm Naomi Wildman," Naomi said, "I'm most recently from San Francisco, California and it's 2382 in my time. I don't have a particular destination that I'd like to go to in mind,"

Kevin looked slightly annoyed. "Toby, come on. They're not evil unless they've been programmed to be evil. I mean, right?" He looked at the teeth and doubted himself.

"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.

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.

Toby looked lovingly back at Kevin. "Oh, of course you're right. What was I thinking?"

Kevin smiled back and reached out to run a finger along Toby's jawline. "Best not get too close, though. I wouldn't want you getting hurt."

"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.

"Right, because I'm the one who gets kidnapped by magical types and turned into their sex slave," Toby replied, rolling his eyes.
