Hellooooooooooooooooooooo Nysans!

Nysans? El Nysans? El Nysonians? I don't know. Weird, this new planets lark, I'm out of practice, it's been a while. New planets! Fun!

Anyway. Hello. Occurred to me just now, and by just now I mean I'm bored and it's occurred to me before but I've been storing it up for an opportune moment, that there's a lot of you to whom I still haven't introduced myself! And since introducing myself can sometimes be a bit of a palaver, I'm going to go ahead and get through as many of you as I can with this one quick broadcast. Right. Here we go. Ready? Ready.

[ here, the stupid strange-faced bowtie-wearing man with the big grin who's staging a brief (I say brief...) takeover of your screens and attention takes a deeeeeep breath. rubs his hands together!!! grins again, and— ]

Hi! Hello. I'm the Doctor. Yes, the Doctor, not a doctor, though I'm one of those too, in many disciplines, none of them medical. Can still probably save you from losing a leg if I can get my hands on the right alien tech, though. Bit of a jack of all trades. Space and time travelling alien, to get that bit out of the way while we're at it. Two hearts. Legs. Okay? Okay.

While I'm here, let's play a getting to know you game. Yeah? [ a pause, in which he's waiting for an answer that he— apparently receives? from who, your guess is as good as mine. ] Hah hah. Yeah. Good. Getting to know you through the age old medium of word association! This is either going to be great fun or get very boring very quickly, so we'll see how it goes. It's the extended edition, rules are slightly different: for every word you give, you have to explain the link from the last one. However obvious.

Ready? Okay. Here we go. I'll give you a few choices for a starter. ... Train, story, sun, space, fashion, smile, or hope.

And we're off!

[ and he's... also off. (thank God????) good luck nysa... ]

Aren't we all aliens here? None of us are from this land.

[You know how it is when you're hiding from your murderous wife and her brother in law. Can't let anyone figure out you're you!]

[personal profile] veneries 2017-09-30 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I am. [And he'd ask about what kind alien you are, but he doesn't really care.]

Now, explain this game again.
veneries: (and find some other)

[personal profile] veneries 2017-09-30 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not the type of game I usually go for, but I'll give it my best. [He sounds positively thrilled to try.

That's what you need, Doctor, someone to jump in wholeheartedly and with enthusiasm.]
veneries: (caught in a craze)

[personal profile] veneries 2017-09-30 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. I'll choose sun, and my response is fire, as they're both hot, both necessary to keep one alive, and both capable of devastation.

[It's not anything like flaying, but sure. This is an acceptable way to pass the time.] Your turn!
veneries: (kiss me under the light)

[personal profile] veneries 2017-09-30 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Water. Hm. [Drowning is the obvious answer, but-] I'd say Ironborn, but I doubt you've heard of them, so...

Islands, which are surrounded by water.
veneries: (when you're down on your knees)

You once sneezed out an island.

[Look he's not going to let that just slide past.]

[personal profile] veneries 2017-10-16 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
I really don't think I can go on playing in that case. I'll just keep coming back to the island.

[Not exactly true, but he wants to know.]
