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...

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

"What's the strangest thing you've found on our planet?"

Hob blinked.

"I have not had the chance to explore your planet," he said, simply.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Sam apologized quickly. "What's your favorite activity?"

"Walking along the beach at one of our burgundy seas," Hob said. "With my wife."

"How did you meet her?" Sam asked, curious.

"She was an aide to a member of the parliament," Hob said. "I clean the parliamentary building as part of my work."

"Do you like your work?" Sam was trying very hard not to overwhelm the poor guy with questions.

"I enjoy what I do, yes," Hob said. "I feel I do something important."

"What made you decide to choose your profession?"

Hob shrugged. "It simply was what I seemed good at," he said. "There was never any ambition to do more."
