Teacher's Pet And Saliva Science

[Rose looks cheerful, as always.]

[The 12th Doctor (aka: The Professor) is mostly buried in a newspaper behind Rose as if not really part of the conversation. The newspaper is not the Genessia Tribune, but what it is is rather difficult to tell.]


Class hasn't started it yet, but when it does, I'm gonna be the professor's T&A!

[He shuffles the paper at the T&A comment and makes something like a snort, but no comment otherwise. Careful readers might see one of the headlines is "Too Thot to Trot."]

He's not the type to do lesson plans and he likes to surprise as he goes, so I'm gonna make everyone a mailing list, yeah? It'll be just on the topics you're most interested in, so if you only want classes about different universes, or the stars, or you want to skip the ones that require crazy high calculus -- actually that's not a thing, don't worry, but just for example, let me know and I'll give you head's up in advance, and if you want in on the music stuff or to know when all that is gonna be, the newsletter will cover that too!

His class is Physics of the Universe, and sign-ups start now-ish, I think! Usually, his rooms are pretty packed, so even though you can audit, that means sit in free, but you don't get college credit; you might wanna make sure he can get an extra big room, just in case.

[Winks to the Doctor, holding up Capsule Corp capsules before popping open a desk chair.] You wouldn't believe how many of these I had to use and we're worried there might be even MORE interest this year! But it's a good thing!

You can learn pretty much ANYTHING! Like did you know there's a special chemical in your saliva that's an anesthetic and anti-depressant 6 times stronger than morphine? What's it called again?

Opiorphine. On some planets its considered an aphrodisiac for vampiric plants. The more you know. [He rustles the paper and flips a page]

Right, yeah! Your body produces only a small amount 'cause otherwise you'd be as high as a zeppelin all the time! But that's why if you stub your finger, your instinct might be to suck on it! Or the reason behind comfort eating! And why snogging is actually really good for you! AND what vampires and mosquitoes inject so you don't get hurt, and a totally good reason to let vampires join your snogging parties, yeah? Just something to think on!

Anyway, don't forget to sign up if you wanna learn more useful stuff like that!

Peace out. [Still not looking up, but makes the peace sign regardless.]

[OOC: Feel free to specify which character you want to talk to, or jump around! The newsletter is going to be handwaved, so feel free to assume Rose will ICly send it out before each class to draw attention to those interested, and no you don't have to sign up ooc for your characters to receive it ICly. But this way anyone who wants to go to specific lessons will get that info in advance!]

There's a class where you can learn about different universes?

[Congratulations, Rose. You have her full attention.]

Is there a portion of the class that talks about how to travel between universes? This is the second multiverse I've been to, and it's kind of cool to think about how many there are out there.
fashionably_strong: (doe eyes)

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2018-08-30 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. There's a lot of weird timeline issues with my family, but we're managing it pretty well, all things considered.

Not a war thanks. [also so blase about all this over the network as if he's not even in the room. Humans.]

I think she meant it as a figure of speech.

[personal profile] guitar_hero 2018-09-03 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I know how she meant it and I know her heart is in the right place. [he arches an eyebrow before turning the page] Still object to the term.

Fair point. Mea culpa. It just makes me a bit...tetchy so... I won't if you won't?
fashionably_strong: art by unknown, if this is yours let me know and I'll credit (glance)

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2018-09-03 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow. Mine aren't...quite on that level. I'm the only one who's been to a multiversal nexus before, though.

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2018-09-03 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
No, I just got pulled there the same way I got pulled here. Sort of. In that place, they called it time compression magic. Here people say it's because of spirits. I met someone here who said that makes me a traveller, even if I can't do it intentionally.
fashionably_strong: (headache)

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2018-09-09 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
That's...

[She presses her hand to her head as she starts really thinking about all of the possibilities.]

That's quite the paradox, for sure.

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2018-09-01 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like it might be interesting.

Aside from the snogging vampires part. Noooooot planning on doing that, no matter how much opiorphine is involved.

Well that's a bit speciesist of you, isn't it?

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2018-09-12 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'd just rather not encourage anybody who sees part of me as a potential meal to get close enough for a taste is all.

[That and he... hasn't actually snogged anyone before and would rather his first attempt not be with someone with fangs. But you won't catch him admitting to that.]

You'd be surprised the number of cannibals that are out there.

[let that sink in]

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2018-09-22 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh he is, judging by his expression.]

...OK, now I both kinda want to know how you know that, and kinda don't.
guitar_hero: (well I don't know)

Why? What's the worst case scenario you can come up with?

Re: [video]

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2018-09-27 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He has to think about that a moment.]

I dunno... maybe being mistaken for a god by a tribe who plans to cook up your friends as the main course at a feast in your honor and having to figure a way of getting them out of it without ending up on the menu yourself.

[personal profile] guitar_hero 2018-09-30 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well that's assuming the tribe you meet are complete idiots and don't just want to mess with your head. Most cannibalism has nothing to do with strangers blundering in and being rude, though it should, honestly.

Re: [video]

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2018-10-04 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Lea shrugs.]

Can't say I normally spend a lot of time thinking about cannibals, so that was the best I could come up with on short notice. Actually think I saw it in a movie once.

But anyway, if it's not strangers being rude, what is the cause of most cannibalism?
guitar_hero: (we could do that or...)

You wouldn't be wrong depending on which planet and/or civilization we're talking about. It varies from place to place, even on Earth. But it's believed in some places, ingesting part of another, be it an enemy or a relative, gives you part of their strength or courage or whatever it was you admired about them.

Re: [video]

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2018-10-09 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[OK, that gets a snicker out of Lea because wow, Rose, that was random.

The rest of it is actually kind of interesting though, if a bit squicky.]


Well here's hoping that no one from those kinds of places ever admires me that much then. I mean I guess it's all relative, but it kinda creeps me out.

Re: [video]

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2018-09-12 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well you could always try it and tell me how it is. I'm willing to take your word on the subject.

What, are you chicken? [which gives him an idea but nevermind about that] If listening is all you're going to do, you're going to listen to your life walk by without you.
hotheadwarmheart: (Got it memorized?)

[personal profile] hotheadwarmheart 2018-09-22 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hey you know what they say, better a live chicken than a dead duck. Or maybe an undead duck, if we're talking vampires. But I get out and do plenty of things; it's just that kissing vampires is one I'm happier hearing about than doing myself.

If Rose wants to do it though, she's welcome to go for it as far as I'm concerned. Go get that opiorphine!

[He's not quite sure how serious he's being with that comment. Though he's also not sure how serious they're being, so at least he's in good company.]
guitar_hero: (I see you)

[video]

[personal profile] guitar_hero 2018-09-25 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Anyone can kiss any vampire they choose. I was a vampire once. Not a very well kissed one but regardless.

Really? I thought being a vampire was kind of a permanent deal.
guitar_hero: (well I don't know)

[video]

[personal profile] guitar_hero 2018-10-08 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
No idea. It was a temporary thing. [he glances at Rose.] Remember? I was a vampire. You were a gargoyle. It was a star-crossed romance. Blood and rock and roll.

Oh, right, that thing that happened last year. Kinda forgot about that.

Though now I'm reminded that Halloween'll be coming up in a couple months....

[He's hoping that they don't get a repeat of last year, though he knows better than to say it out loud.}
