Roving the Galaxy - Friday, Period 4 (After Lunch)

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

"So, Roving the Galaxy," the Doctor said, winging it. He might have lost track of the days and forgotten to prepare anything. It was more fun to do it off the cuff anyway. "Galaxy. Roving it. Okay, so, you're all here for whatever reason is your own and you're welcome to talk about it to someone else. Me, I'm probably not going to listen to be perfectly honest, so let's get onto the good stuff. Well, good in the sense that it's not all good but fun! Well, fun if you're into that sort of thing." He realised he was getting off track, paused with a 'I just caught myself getting off track' expression on his face, then started talking again.

"Most of you, I would assume, haven't been too far from home, whether that's Earth, Raxacoricofallapatorious or somewhere I haven't even heard of. Do you know how strange that is, places I haven't heard of? Love it. Beginning to love Fandom because of it. Anyway. Moving on. Over the next couple of weeks, we're going to go through a crash course in the basics of what you need to know to rove the galaxy.

Some weeks we'll go off to another planet, fake planets in this case thanks to this beautiful piece of technology although we might take a field trip at the end of the course, and a lot of weeks we'll deal with aliens coming to Earth. Why? You're not the only ones roving the galaxy. Better get used to it. If you can learn how to be a good host, you'll learn quick smart how to be a good guest when you're out there travelling around.

Smaller class than last time, all good, means we can get to know each other. I'm not much one for introductions, but let's give it a shot, shall we? I'm the Doctor. I'm a 903 year old Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I travel a lot and I've been just about everywhere you can point out in the night sky. You," he pointed to the person he was looking at. "Name, species, place of origin and off-world travelling experience."

Introduce Yourself

Name, species, place of origin and off-world travelling experience.

Strike three on the teachers; Ender couldn't imagine a more diverse set of people, and that said a few things about the school. But at least this class seemed like it meant something, like he could learn, and after listening closely, he spoke, "Ender Wiggin, human, and from the United States." The words came one after the other. Matter of fact, because that was all he'd asked. "I've done some interplanetary travel."

It wasn't a lie. He just didn't volunteer too much of the truth.

Gwynn was becoming more and more interested in this class--and he reminded her of one of her teachers her first year here.

"I'm Gwynn Hood. human... and I come from Briton. I have never been of of the planet as far as I know."

"Karal Austreben." Karal placed a hand on Altra's head. "And Altra, who's a Firecat. We are both from Karse, which is in a world called Velgarth. I've only been to this world, but I can't speak for Altra, and I don't think...?" Altra shoook his head, looking smug. "No, he is not sharing whether he has been elsewhere or not."

"My name is Helen Haras-Uquara. I am human and I come from the world of Uquar which has no name. I spent several years Walking the Bounds and traveling to different worlds when I was exiled." She made a face.

"My name is Sokka, I'm a human-awesome hybrid, and the world I'm from doesn't have a name, but it's in a different universe, so that counts for something, right?"

"Peter Petrelli, human, New York," Peter said. "Not much off-world experience but I've got a few friends who are from other planets."

"Hoshi Sato, human from 22nd century Kyoto, Japan," she stated. "As for off-world travel, I did get to go to Mars for spring break, but I stayed in the ship while the others went down to the surface. I didn't like getting into the EV suits."

"Teddy Altman." He waved awkwardly. Should he mention the other name? He was just going to avoid that one for now.

"I'm a-- Kree-Skrull hybrid," He said in one quick burst. "I grew up on Earth and, I spent the first half of summer in Kree space, helping rebuild a church."

Sam had to admit that sometimes, he really liked taking the strange classes here.

"I'm Sam Winchester," he said. "Human, from Kansas, USA, and my only real off-world experience has been going to Coruscant with Professor Skywalker."

"My name is Princess Cimorene of Linderwall, though I was the Chief Cook and Librarian before coming here, I'm a human being from Linderwall, which is in another world and my only off-world experience ended with me here." Cimorene paused. "Oh, and I'm fire-proof." This seemed to keep coming up so she figured she'd just toss it in there from the start.

"Kaylee Frye," she said cheerily, waving. "Human, from a planet called Beylix an' 'bout 500 years from now. This is m'first time off-planet, actually. It's excitin'."

"Uh... Human, Destiny Islands, and I traveled to all the worlds in my universe."

Pop Quiz/Brainstorming

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

"Now that that's out of the way, let's do a pop quiz. No, let's not call it a pop quiz, those can be nerve-wracking. Let's go with a brainstorming session. I'll propose a situation where an alien of some description comes into your life. You tell me how you'd deal with it. No deep thought, immediate reaction."

Re: Pop Quiz/Brainstorming

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn was obviously interested in the brainstorming. She was taking notes.

Setting his recorder on the desk in front of him, Karal waited patiently for his scenario.

Helen sighed quietly and waited to hear. She just hoped it wasn't cannibals.

Re: Pop Quiz/Brainstorming

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

A situation where an alien comes into his life? Like, say, Fandom?

"Does the alien have a laser sword and a pet robot?"

Re: Pop Quiz/Brainstorming

Ender kept quiet. Very quiet. This wasn't something he wanted to deal with: he was tired of giving answers, and as such, he made himself smaller in little insignificant ways, seeking to retreat into the classroom without moving a finger.

He doubted he'd be overlooked, but he hoped, none the less.

Re: Pop Quiz/Brainstorming

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter was curious about what kind of scenario he'd get.

Re: Pop Quiz/Brainstorming

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Well. That wasn't something that had happened before at all.

Teddy took a small calming breath and waited for his situation.

Talk to the Doctor

He's here!

OOC

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

I am in crazy time zone land, so this goes up fairly early in the day or the night before. So for interaction purposes with me, I get to play very early in the morning EST and in the evening from around 6pm. This may change when my employment situation does, but I'll let you know!

Re: OOC

[veryarthurdent.livejournal.com]

Sleep now. Back after 6 EST!
