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."

"Does your head, doesn't it? When in Britain's long and glorious (and sometimes not so glorious) history do you call home?"

Gwynn smiled. "I come from the year of 1199, sir. King Richard has died and his son, King Phillip, sits on the throne."

"No," the Doctor said, disbelieving. "You're kidding. Really?" He knew she didn't have any reason to lie, so he did believe her, but it was surprising. "Talk about the good old days. Well, not exactly good, but did you say Phillip? He sounds like a tool. No offense."

"Yes, really. No offense taken." She shook her head and smiled. "Phillip is a good man, he just was not prepared to be king -- or to deal with the legacy of Prince John and his men. He'll find his path."

He had Robin Hood to help him with that, after all.

"With help if it comes to it," the Doctor suggested. He remembered that time well.

Gwynn beamed with pride. "If he needs aid, he will have it at hand."

She and her father might clash... a lot... but she knew that he would do anything for his kimg. She knew that from personal experience.

"I believe he will be a good king for our land."
