Galactic Vacationing - Wednesday, Period 4

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

"Right! So. Wasn't here last week, was I? I'm sure the TA," he gave Seely a look that had a barely restrained eyeroll accompanying it, "kept you all busy in my absence. Got off to a slow start, which is sometimes a good thing when you're bouncing around the known universe." Why yes, he was being a big hypocrite. He seemed to know it to some degree too, because he was getting uncomfortable. "And, well, let's not even get started on the unknown universe. Anyway! Moving on. Let's go somewhere different."

The Doctor pointed his sonic screwdriver at the Danger Shop controls and, although it could be said that the Danger Shop was somewhat disgruntled by being messed with by a sonic device (which wasn't in any way important for next week's workshop), it complied and their surroundings changed.

"Welcome to the year 200,100. We're not too far from home, a little step out and away from the planet Earth, which is just down there. You can probably find an observation deck if you look hard enough. This is Satellite 5, the largest communications station in the solar system, if I remember rightly. I usually do. Take a look around. Get something to eat. Mingle." He scratched behind his ear and tried not to look too pleased at throwing them into the thick of it, "I'd watch out for some of those rooms though. You might find yourself facing a fate worse than death. Well, not death." He paused and looked upward in thought. "No, on second thought, worse than death. Definitely."

Change!

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

Before he started the workshop, there was room off to the side to change into your travelling outfit if you wanted to.

Ella took a moment to change from her blouse and skirt into black pants and a t-shirt. If she needed to run again, she wasn't doing it in a skirt.

Toby totally had to change. There was no way he was wandering Madagascar in full pants and a shirt. It was kind of a nice room, now that he thought of it. Just out of the way enough...

Re: Change!

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir grabbed his coat, glad to have it. It helped cover the broom a little.

Rodney went ahead and changed out of his shorts and into the black cargo pants he'd picked before. He also grabbed the leather jacket as he had no idea what kind of climate they'd end up in today.

Jenny put on her jacket. She was really liking this jacket. She wondered if she could get a tailor to do a mock-up...

Marco saw nothing wrong with what he was already wearing, though he did finally decide to go for something a little less beachy.

Re: Change!

Cal had actually kind of gotten comfortable to practically wearing something similar to his traveling outfit daily, since he first emerged out of a thrift shop with newly masculine clothes to match his masculine self. He just had to add a tie today, and he was all set.

Re: Change!

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

Might as well get changed. Who knew where they'd be going, right?

Re: Change!

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec was rarely in anything he wouldn't be comfortable wearing while traveling, but he grabbed a sleek looking jacket just in case.

Re: Change!

Inara had no idea what they'd be facing, so she changed into a pair of loose cotton slacks and top, grabbing a sweater as an afterthought and tying it around her waist.

Explore the Station

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

The common area was bursting with people coming and going and stopping for something to eat or drink. The Doctor passed out credit bars to be used to buy things. Pity it was only good for keeping within the Danger Shop. There were corridors leading off the main area with its piercing bright light that led to an observation deck where you could view the Earth from orbit. Then, of course, there were all the other rooms.

Re: Explore the Station

[ihaveniceteeth.livejournal.com]

Well, this was a bit more interesting than a tour of Britain. Gwen looked around interestedly.

Re: Explore the Station

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

Lee took his credit bar thing and found his way over to what looked like a merchant selling shoes.

The shoes were ugly.

Lee moved on.

Re: Explore the Station

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

Ella wasn'tr hungry, so she got a glass of what tasted like tangy fruit juice and took it to the observation deck. this was fascinating.

Re: Explore the Station

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi wandered around, interested in exploring the station.

Re: Explore the Station

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir wasn't hungry, as he'd been working in a kitchen all morning, and he wasn't particularly thirsty because he generally wasn't.

And he didn't really give half a fig about Earth.

As such, he wandered away from the main concourse.

Re: Explore the Station

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

Rodney spent a little while in the observation deck admiring the view. And by 'admiring,' he meant calculating the orbit of the station.

Reality TV - What Not to Wear

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

If you found yourself in this room, the door would lock behind you and you would be faced with two robots named Trin-E and Zu-Zana (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bilZMfsIgLY&feature=related) who wanted to give you a makeover.

Re: Reality TV - What Not to Wear

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Hmm...? What was this in here...?

Reality TV - The Weakest Link

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

If you found yourself in this room, the door would lock behind you and you would be in a dark television studio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNmt626lUcg) with several podiums surrounding a robot. The Anne-Droid to be precise. There were places for several contestants. Best not to get too many answers wrong. The Danger Shop won't let the Anne-Droid kill you, but her mouth-laser stings.

Re: Reality TV - The Weakest Link

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

After the shock of being locked in, Rodney looked around the room and recognized the quiz show set-up. He figured this wouldn't be too bad. After all, he was quite good at Jeopardy. With that thought in mind, Rodney confidently took a place at one of the open podiums.

Reality TV - Big Brother

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

If you found yourself in this room, the door would lock behind you and you would be in what appeared to be the Big Brother Diary Room. The door out into the rest of the Big Brother House (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KskBe9l3IpY&feature=related) was there too. Try to get evicted or don't, but there aren't many housemates left and they're not too keen on anyone new taking their prize.

Re: Reality TV - Big Brother

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

Michael didn't really know about Big Brother, so he glanced around curiously as he came in.

Talk to the Doctor or the TA

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

The Doctor's here, but wait for the TA to ping in.

Re: Talk to the Doctor or the TA

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely looked completely oblivious to the eye-rolling.

OOC

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

Will be available from late tomorrow afternoon EST onwards due to stupid time zones and sleeping. Feel free to mod your surroundings and NPCs! And just for fun, Barrowman and Tennant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtdGwiMtZ08&feature=related) do the Doctor Who theme song.

Re: OOC

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

They make such cute little fanboys!
