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

"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."

"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?"

"You'd be surprised how little some days. If your world doesn't have a name, then you'll have to be a little more descriptive. What are the main differences? Use your powers of awesome to explain if you have to."

"Well, most of the animals are completely different," Sokka told him. "And so's the geography, and it's a little smaller, but otherwise it's a lot like Earth. But not nearly as advanced technologically. I am so going to miss TV when I go home."

"TV can steal your face," the Doctor said flatly. "You might want to work on that description or hone your powers of awesome. One or both are lacking a little."

"TV can what?" Sokka asked. But before the Doctor could answer, there was a challenge to rise to. He cleared his throat.

"The people of my world are divided into four nations -- Water, Air, Earth, and Fire, each with its own territory, traditions, and guardian animals and spirits. Some people from each nation -- the ones with the strongest chi -- are able to bend and control their corresponding element. One person in the world -- the Avatar -- controls all four elements, acts as the liaison between our world and the Spirit World, and is supposed to bring balance to the world. A hundred years ago, the Fire Lord wiped out all of the Air Nomads and began a war that is still going on today. I'm a member of the Water Tribe, from the South Pole, and my friends and I are going to save the world."

"That's more like it!" the Doctor grinned. "Saving the world, eh? Big job. Fun sometimes, but big. Good luck."

"Yeah, we're going to need it," Sokka agreed. "At least we're just dealing with a normal human trying to take over with a normal army. Around here, that's almost lame."
