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... ]

[Wow, that's a whole lot of words really fast. Link stares at the video screen with a frown.]

How is that getting to know someone?

[Your game makes no sense.]

You get to know what sort of things they think about when they think about other things, and why. Fair enough, sometimes it's very simple and not very enlightening, but you'd be surprised what you can learn. Even if it's the little things, like favourite food.

Okay....

[He still doesn't really get it. But he did just talk to You about trying new games, didn't he? He lets out a short sigh and considers the list of words offered to him.]

Train. Sword.

[A reason why....]

... I train with a sword.

Oh, clever. Train train, nice.

Okay. Sword to hand. Someone once cut off my hand with a sword. I grew it back though, no problem. "Hand."

Thanks?

[Wait, he what? Link blinks a little, tipping his head back at that way too casual description of regrowing an entire hand. After a second's thought, he looks down at his own hand before bringing it up to the camera.]

"One." Because I can't grow mine back.
