[The Doctor is slightly jacked up on coffee.]

Thanks to everyone who turned in their papers last week in such a prompt manner. I appreciate it immensely. You'll get your papers back on Wednesday. So far everyone's doing well enough.

So far we haven't done much with the practical application of time travel. I want to have you do some not-quite hands on work, some that won't involve having you create paradoxes and me having to fix them. It's a very big pain, trust me.

This week we're going to be doing assignments in pairs. If there's an odd number of students, then there can be one group of three. I want you to take a particular event that happened recently at Fandom High and theorise as to different possible outcomes. Be creative, but don't be outrageous. The hard part of this is that you'll have to check things against your partner's work, so I'd like you to work with people that you don't know as well.


Oh, and Mr Harkness, you're not in trouble, but I'd like to talk to you after class.

Who ever said anything was supposed to be easy?

Who said you always had to do it the hard way?

Re: After Class

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

Because I made that choice.

Can I ask you a question? Why... I hear you stop yourself calling me Jack. Why don't you?

Re: After Class

You're not him, you're my student. It wouldn't be... [stops talking]

Maybe you are him, started over. I don't know. Shite.

Fair enough. One more question, and it's not about all of this. I know CJ -- Prof. Cregg -- CJ has forgiven me for what I almost did to her on Friday. What about you?

It was a temporary psychotic phase brought on by...[he looks slightly ill] a rather interesting teaching technique. I forgave you a while ago.

Re: After Class

Good. Because your opinion matters to me. Never doubted you, never will.

I -- um, I was going to go meet someone. Are we... are we done?

Re: After Class

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He nods...sorry to see him go?] Aye. I'm sorry I snapped at you.

[And then...]

...Mr Harkness, do you want me to call you Jack?

Re: After Class

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

It's okay.

And... I would, but only if you want to. Because if you... resent me for being here when he's dead then it just gets weird to call me by his name.

Re: After Class

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

I don't resent you. you could even be him...just made younger... [pats his shoulder] Get some rest, Jack.

*grins* Nah, I'm spending time with a beautiful woman. Much, much better than rest.

See you Wednesday!

I can only imagine. Have a good day, Jack.
