Galactic Vacationing - Wednesday, Period 4

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was disappointingly set up like a classroom today. The Doctor was at the front, glasses on, feet propped up on the desk as he lounged in what looked to be a very comfortable chair. "Last workshop of the term. No running or jumping or bad reality television today. Today," the Doctor said, leaping up from his seat, "I want you to the one most important thing you've learned from your experiences during this course." He looked at Toby and Kevin if they were there. "Yours should be 'getting naked in public doesn't solve everything'."

The classroom flickered out of existence for the briefest of seconds. The Doctor looked up with a frown. "A little glitch," he assured the class. "Nothing to worry abo-" The classroom disappeared again and left them in darkness. Anyone sitting on desks or chairs would have fallen on their backsides once the classroom and all its contents disappeared. "Okay, nobody panic. Probably a simple malfunction."

"Mummy?"

The Doctor turned on a light and the class found themselves scattered across the ground floor of an old house, probably one you'd find in 1940s London. Staying very still for a moment, the Doctor looked at each of the students within his line of sight. His expression wasn't that of someone who was worried, per se, so much as as someone who was very, very interested and a little suspicious of what was coming next. "That wasn't supposed to happen."

The voice of a boy outside the front door could be heard through the house again.

"Are you my mummy?"

Everything's nice and normal. Yep. Absolutely.

Everything Changes

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

First they were plunged into darkness, then they were in an old house. The furnishings were pretty standard for a World War II-era family house, except for the family. They were missing.

"Alright," the Doctor called, making sure the front door remained locked. "Listen up. Something is clearly wrong with the Danger Shop and it's not responding to any normal commands. What that means is that I can't guarantee that the safety algorithms are working either, so please, try not to get yourselves killed. We're in the middle of an air raid which means there are bombs dropping everywhere but I think I know where we can access the controls. That means not being here. Everyone stay together and whatever you do, don't let the people with the gas masks touch you. Do you understand me? Don't touch them. We'll go out the back. I'll go on ahead and make sure the path is clear. Give me two minutes, then follow the road all the way down to the hospital."

With that, he disappeared at a run out the back door, through the back yard and out the gate and out of sight. Yep. He just left the whole class to their own devices in the middle of a crisis.

"Don't let them touch you," Lee muttered, looking around. "How do we do that? Ask nicely?"

Re: Everything Changes

"..it'd be nice to know what happens if they touch us", Michael grumbled, glaring at the front door.

His hand was on the broom. The other? Held an orange-flavored apple.

He really had to get on that 'be more battle effective with your bloody magic' project.

Oh...brilliant.

Like Gwen hadn't already had a bad enough week?

"Don't let them touch me," Ella muttered to herself and anyone within earshot. "That will keep me safe, I'm sure."

She was having severe doubts about this class.

"What?" Jenny protested. "No! I already lived though this war once! This is not a vacation!"

"He has got to be shitting us," Dōjima grumbled, crossing her arms. "I've seen the horror films, like hell I'm going to trust the strange man telling me to leave the house."

Teyla watched the Doctor, once again unsure about how she felt about this class.

Rodney, still on his ass where he'd fallen when the room changed, whimpered once the Doctor left. "No safeties? What the hell?! This is not what I signed on for."

Re: Everything Changes

[ambassadorinara.livejournal.com]

No touching the people in gas masks and no getting hit by bombs. Right.

She made a mental note not to get any vacationing tips or ideas from The Doctor.

Kevin didn't get it. He decided to just stand back and follow anyone who looked like they had a clue.

Re: Everything Changes

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec eyed the front door, wondering what was so bad about people with gas masks - especially when they sounded so young.

"So basically, we're running like crazy again?" Marco asked no one in particular.

Are You My Mummy?

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

The Doctor was nowhere to be seen. The students were alone in the Danger Shop that thought it was World War II London and they were surrounded by gas mask zombies. Brilliant. Freak out. Take charge. React and interact however you will. Gas mask people are moddable provided you know what you're doing. If you don't, check the YouTube links in the OOC thread or request an NPC in the OOC thread.

Re: Are You My Mummy?

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

Michael refused to freak out. He'd just... stay right here in the house where there were no gas mask people.

Re: Are You My Mummy?

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

Ella went to a window and peeped out it, staring at the zombies. She'd stay on this side of the wall, thanks.

Re: Are You My Mummy?

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Right. This was entirely and completely normal and something that Cal knew how to handle...

...Riiight. He did seem to manage trying to look around to see if anyone else had any idea, since the thing he seemed to pick up from this class in what to do in a situation like this (which was: Run like hell) didn't exactly seem an option.

Re: Are You My Mummy?

[ashockingbitch]

"Right," Jenny said, and snapped her fingers to light a cigarette. "We're surrounded by gas mask zombies who think someone in this group is their mummy. If someone is, speak now so I can feed you to them or forever hold your peace. If not, if you've got powers now would be a good time to tell us exactly what they are, because if I get one of you killed it'll probably go on my permanent record."

End of Class

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

The class was plunged into darkness again and a moment later the door out into the school building corridor opened. The Doctor was fit as a fiddle and standing in the doorway. "Class dismissed."

Talk to the Doctor or TA

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

The Doctor is around for talking before and after class, but not during due to his convenient absence. Wait for Seely to ping in to talk to him.

Re: Talk to the Doctor or TA

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely was there, yay!

OOC

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

Gas mask folks won't attack. They just want their mummy. Are you my mummy?

And YouTube links for those who have lived their lives without Doctor Who, you poor things.
