[ Oh, the Doctor didn't waste any time once he was settled in.He'd have to explore every inch of this place, and if he didn't achieve all of that today, well, he'd skip some classes. (Except not.) He still couldn't believe that he had to take some classes--did they still lecture? It'd been ages since he'd been in a classroom. In a real, proper classroom, as a student. What was it, ohh... 800 years? About. Yes, about. The last time he had been in a classroom as a teacher, that'd been... with Rose, as his tenth incarnation. Amazing, that was, how time flies. The Doctor walked around the Garden, looking at the faces of students as they passed by.

Yes, yes, he already looked like a professor. He was well aware.

Oh--and he'd have to resort to calling himself John Smith again. Oh, that was annoying. John Smith, John Smith, John Smith--sometimes, he wondered, if he should pick another ambiguous name. Dr. John Smith, maybe he could trade it in. ]

Nooo, what if I forget? That wouldn't do.

[ he muttered to himself, before quickening his steps, hands shoved into his tweed jacket. ]

Well, best to learn the territory before I make any rash decisions--wait. [ was choosing to be a teacher a rash decision? ... probably. ] Probably... too late. Maybe.

Comments

[nothatsrecent.livejournal.com]

Quite a bit, yes--hello.

[ oh, that's. attracted his attention. ]

And who are you?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Espio the Chameleon.

[]

Shouldn't you have introduced yourself first?

[nothatsrecent.livejournal.com]

No, not really, you were the one who called me out in the first place.

[ and the Doctor is practically immune to insults, have fun, Espio! ]

But! I'm-- [ oh, he was about to say 'The Doctor'. he caught himself. ] John Smith.

(wasn't very happy with the last tag, sorry @.@)

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

More of a passing comment, actually.

John Smith, huh? Now that's a civilian name if I ever heard one. You'd have to be a special kind of mundane to get one that boring.

[]

Hi, anyway, I guess. You're new, right? I try to keep on top of faces, even if I don't talk to everyone...

[nothatsrecent.livejournal.com]

Well, I am a civilian, that makes sense. Come from a long line of mundane mundanes, if you get my drift.

New, yes. How long have you been here?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

[]

Nearly two months, thereabouts.

[nothatsrecent.livejournal.com]

[ oh,you have no idea how weird. ]

Blimey, that's a long time away from home.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

It's not a big deal. This world is really boring, but I suppose I get to learn new stuff I can use back home. Eventually. Not that I can see myself using firearms or anything any time soon.

[nothatsrecent.livejournal.com]

What's your world like, then, Espio? Not boring, exciting, full of danger?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Uh...

Just the world, or the universe itself? I see a lot of both. Most people from outside the Zone call it crazy, so you can just say crazy if you want.

[nothatsrecent.livejournal.com]

Just the world. For now. Though, 'the Zone'... odd name.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

The Special Zone.

And the world... planet Meridian. One of a lot in the Special Zone. People get granted weird "powers" - mostly useless, but not always. Fight between good and evil goes on daily.

That about sums Meridian up. It's mostly trivial, but my team tends to get caught up in the "big stuff." You know - dimension crossing robot armies, fixing another world's broken timeline, superpowered creatures that can blow things up with a thought, multiple end-of-the-world scenarios.

[]

In contrast, all the politics and military stuff we've got here is kinda dull.

[nothatsrecent.livejournal.com]

[ and normal for him as well, so he just nods, understandably. ]

That sounds like a big, big world. It's no wonder you have to keep it in check, not like here.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Too right. This place has its problems, but until I'm in actual danger I don't think I'm gonna be too happy. I just hope whatever I learn here comes in useful when I go back.

[nothatsrecent.livejournal.com]

Everything's a lesson.

Well, at least, most things are.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

So they say. Doesn't mean the lessons will be useful. What am I gonna do with GF stuff back home, anyway?

/account change desu

[tardytardis.livejournal.com]

I have no clue. Honestly, it won't help me much either, but oh well. Good adventure, either way.

Re: /account change desu

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. I'm used to going wherever I want, not being stuck on a hovering whatever-it-is. Maybe when I convince them I can fly the thing, I can make it go elsewhere.

[]

Didn't think I'd be here so long, though. I would have thought Omni would have come after me by now. It's not even as though it's just me.

[tardytardis.livejournal.com]

Omni?

[ he repeats, interested. ]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Big blue screen thing.

[]

Time and dimensional travel thing... I don't think they have that kind of thing here, which sucks, but there's a lot of things missing here.

[tardytardis.livejournal.com]

[ he pauses, staring at him blankly. big, blue, time and dimensional travel thing. ... well, doesn't that sound familiar. ]

It's a screen.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

More of a he actually, but yeah. Not sure what he's made of, but it looks like a flat surface even though he can contain stuff.

[tardytardis.livejournal.com]

... odd. How--time travel, you said?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[]

It's actually possible in some realities. We don't usually mess with history, though.

[tardytardis.livejournal.com]

Usually.

[ oh, god, usually? is it in the way he messes with history, or the bad way? ]
