Constant Vigilance #4: Friday the 3rd, Morning. Serenity Cove.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

Today, the class meets on the beach, to accomadate the student who has a bit of an aquatic problem at the moment. The Doctor set out beach blanket and towels, and has hauled the holoprojector out on a cart.

"Pass forward your requests I asked for, thank you. As I let you know, we're switching things around a bit. Vampires and werewolves will be at a later date. Today is simply 'Close Encounters of the Unattractive Kind'. Now, please remember, that it's not so much that I find these species particularly unpleasant, it's just we might as well show some of the more unsavory aliens out in the world. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. I'll be taking questions today, but no lecturing today. It's called close encounters for a reason. You'll be talking to the projections, trying to gather what you can from them. Ask them whatever. Remember they can't actually hurt you, but please only antagonize them if you're being terribly clever about it. There is no assignment for next week. Time for you all to put on your 'first contact' thinking caps. The projector will be sending out three different aliens. Talk to at least one, please."

The Doctor smiled, then turned on the projector. Three forms appeared...

[ooc: OCD is up. Have at me!]

This projection has a greenish tint to its skin and is eight feet tall with long forearms that end in powerful claws. It's face is almost kewpie doll-like.

This thingy was almost cute, in a slimy kind of way. Nadia approached.

"Um, hi."

The creature tilted its head on its long massive neck. It appeared to sniff for a moment.

"You want to ask a question, do you?"

"Surrrrrre. Where are you from?"

Awww, this one was kind of cute. Except for, you know, the claws. It reminded Conner a little bit of home, bizarrely.

"HI there," Conner said, feeling kind of foolish.

Re: Projection #1

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Hello," the creature appeared to sniff for a moment. "May I be of assistance?"

Re: Projection #1

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"You could be, I guess," Conner replied. "You seem pretty helpful. What do you do exactly?"

John walks up to the creature and doesthe 'guy nod' while saying "Hey."

Re: Projection #1

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Hello," it replied, also nodding. "May I help you?"

Re: Projection #1

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Possibly. Mind telling me a bitabout yourself and your kind?"

Jack wasn't sure why, but was immediately drawn to the large green alien. "Hi there," he said casually as he walked up to it, stopping what he hoped was far enough away to be out of reach of the claws. And not smiling, because baring his teeth at something that was obviously a predator seemed like a Bad Idea.

"Hello," the Raxacoricofallapatorian said. "May I help you?"

Re: Projection #1

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"You might be able to. My name's Jack, Jack Harkness. Is there something I can call you?"

Re: Projection #1

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hello there, what's your name?"

Re: Projection #1

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Hob-Mentek Spatch-Ator Bogreen," it replied. "You can call me Hob, if you like."

Re: Projection #1

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hello Hob! I'm Pippilotta Viktualia Rollgardina Schokominza Efram's Daughter Longstocking. But you can just call me Pippi."

"Hi," Isabel said.

Re: Projection #1

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Hello," the alien said. "May I help you?"

"I was wondering, has your species ever been to earth?"

Walter approached the first projection and looked it over carefully. The kewpie face was not enough for him to not notice the claws.

"Hello?"

Re: Projection #1

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Hob nodded. "Hello," he replied.

Re: Projection #1

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Err... you're not from around here, right?"

Oh, so astute, Walter.

Sam waved and approached slowly. "Welcome. Is this overwhelming for you?"

Re: Projection #1

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Hob shook his enormous head. "It is much, but I am able to handle it."
