2nd vworp - backdated to CHB ... let's say Monday afternoon?

[cricketycricket]

[orange, Five decided, was most certainly not his color. but he supposed he could do worse, especially for what he thought was his very first bonafide official Paradisan world shift. he glanced around the area he'd appropriated for his class, benches laid out on the field, a tapestry of various Gods and Goddesses hanging from the branch of a nearby tree. fresh air was best for the mind, after all, and all the better for learning in. he strode back and forth in front of the benches for a moment, deliberating on whether or not to appropriate something to use as a podium, then thought better of it, and cracked open his journal]

Ah, good morning, everyone. This is the Doctor speaking. Those of you slated for my class in Greek History can skip the drudgery of packing any notebooks or pencils or the like, and just meet me out on the lawns. The Grecians passed down their knowledge orally, and I intend to do the same. I'll see you all shortly!

[of course, anyone NOT enrolled in Greek History can certainly come and bother him, too...]

Comments

Action?

[sameteam]

[Like Sam could ever say no to anything like that. With a blanket in hand, he's trotting down to the lawn. Time to learn things! ]

[cricketycricket]

Well, hello! [he grins at him] Lovely idea, bringing your own blanket. I'm the Doctor ... and who might you be?

[sameteam]

[Sam beams up at the Doctor with a grin.] Sam Flynn. You know a lot of stuff, right?

[cricketycricket]

As a matter of fact, I do! Did anyone in particular tell you so, Sam?

[sameteam]

[Sam shakes his head, sending his curls bobbing about.] You said you had knowledge. Guys who know lots of stuff have knowledge.

[Pause. Maybe that's not right.] Right?

[cricketycricket]

Well, yes. Having knowledge doesn't always imply that you have a lot of it, however. Everyone has knowledge, but not everyone has it to excess, you see. Even you have knowledge, you just have yet to study and learn and experience as much.

[sameteam]

Me? [Sam looks a little startled by the mention of him having knowledge.] I'm just a kid.

[stalkershiki]

[Shiki staggers across the lawn to where the Doctor is and half-collapses on the ground in front of him. She's been taking a lot of fighting classes.

In a matter of moments, though, she manages to pull herself into a proper sitting position, and although she's going to take the physical down time to massage her muscles, she's ready to pay attention to the lesson, because yay Greeks!]

[cricketycricket]

[the collapsing gets his attention, sure enough] Goodness, are you alright?

[stalkershiki]

Oh, yeah, I'm totally fine! Don't worry about me! I'm just cramping a little, but I'm totally alright!

[Calf massages everywhere! On her calves.]

[cricketycricket]

Ah. I've some water, over here ... you should have a drink. Staying hydrated helps a great deal with that sort of thing. [he'll kneel down, scoop up the canteen, and toss it over to her]

[stalkershiki]

[Shiki catches the canteen... slightly awkwardly because she's not getting up or moving to catch it, so she has to reach for it. But she gets it nonetheless! And then there is all of the drinking. She chugs about half of the canteen down before she remembers her manners and stops, looking over at him gratefully.]

Thank you so much... you're definitely right about the whole staying hydrated thing!

[cricketycricket]

Well, of course I am. [he smiles] Have as much as you like, we can certainly get more. What've you been up to so far this morning?

[stalkershiki]

[Shiki pauses drinking to smile in return at the Doctor, and then respond to him.]

This morning? Ahh, hand to hand training, learning sword fighting, and how to care for horses... it didn't seem like a lot when I first woke up, and it's all been totally awesome! But I just... it's also a lot of running around, you know?
