"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."

I. Exploring Main Street! Take a trip through a little town taken straight from 1890's America. Visit the shops, dine at the restaurants- but don't forget you are here on a mission. As an Apprentice, you will need to gather some supplies. A weapon, or tool for producing magic.

But we understand if that corn dog cart on Market Street is your first stop.

II. Apprentice Class 101! Practice your spell casting and weaponship on the open commons behind the Firehouse. Sparring, casting or just general confusion abound here. Try not to hit anything or...anyone, the paint on the infirmary is still drying.

III. Look out! A level 2 corroded monster has managed to get onto Main Street! Protect the citizens and defeat the cur, and please watch the damage, the paint is still wet!

IV. One Little Spark! Go ahead, show us the strength of your imagination and come up with your own scenarios. Just, stay out of the Corroded Lands...if possible.

"So what you're sayin' is.... I really need a sonic screwdriver."

Sigh.

"All right then, how do you plan to fight? If you go the fightin' darkness route, instead a' bitin' off the heads of whoever you think has your D-hopper, yeah?"

[situational_ethics]

"Pretty sure that's the opposite of what I was saying, actually," he replied dryly. "What I was saying is that there is no one universal answer or tool. But my plan is to start with basic recon. Fighting the Darkness might not be the right play at all."

[bigbadrose]

"That's what makes the screwdriver so perfect, it's adaptable."

As for the rest.... "Riiiiight. Any way I can help? If they really do have my cannon, I don't want anyone touching it, they'll only make things worse."

[situational_ethics]

"The most useful and adaptable tool anyone has is their brain. The rest is just details. And could use the help," he said with a nod. "Mind using the fact that you're cute to get us some info?"

[bigbadrose]

Rose bit her thumb. "I've always thought that... But I'm lousy at school, and I can't do magic. Think it was sucked out of my universe or something."

She beamed at the request, practically glowing. "I think I'd be very good at that. Who d'ya need me to con?" The Doctor and Jack never let her use her cuteness to conquer!!! Clearly it was just too powerful!

iPad tags, please excuse odd typos and errors

“You need the right teachers is all, the settings are irrelevant. As for magic, You’d need someone to check the force lines on your dimension, I know a guy I could recommend.”

“Start asking questions of those who have been here longer. You play cute sweet and innocent, I’ll play up that pervect reputation, and when we compare answers we might find something close to the truth between.”

I don't see any XD

[bigbadrose]

"I'll try anything once, even if I have tried magic before..."

And a nod. "Mm!! Okay!!" she is desperately latching onto having a new mission; something easy to focus on and distract her from the fact that this all might mean she can't get back to the Doctor.

A statistical imp-robability for me

[situational_ethics]

He nodded. "Questions should focus on what exactly is the conflict, what can we learn about the other side, how do they expect us to fight, why do they expect us to fight, how will we be compensated, how do we get our stuff back, and if they wanted help why didn't they just ask."

XDDD shocking I know

[bigbadrose]

Rose hummed quietly. She already knew what the conflict was!

"Corrosion is what happens in the final stages before darkness. Nothingness, unreality. A corroding timeline starts falling into heavy decay, destruction, death, but then it undoes itself, it goes dark, nothing at all, not even part of the void."

She rubbed the back of her head. "They expect us to fight with magic, but I don't got any!" she insisted again.

And a Bad Wolf huff, "And we'll be compensated in things still existing, including us, and I think this is asking, it's not like they kidnapped us... well maybe they kidnapped you, okay I'll make sure no one's been kidnapped against their will!!"

It is!

[situational_ethics]

He shook his head. "Not looking for your answers, looking for theirs. Get it?"

[bigbadrose]

"Yes sir," an eye roll she didn't really hide. Ahhhhh this was the problem with getting missions from anyone else, Rose didn't really take orders well, even from her Dad.

[situational_ethics]

"Trust me, hearing how someone else says something, even when you already know the information, ESPECIALLY then... it tells you more about the person than they ever intended to reveal."

[bigbadrose]

She whines like a wolf puppy. "I guess... But I've been fighting the darkness all by myself for so long it feels weird to treat them like enemies!!"

[situational_ethics]

"Different kinds of Darkness, might be that we should even be fighting for it. Or negotiating peace. But we won't know trapped in expectations."

[bigbadrose]

Rose crinkled her face. You can't argue with darkness. Or negotiate. "Ever try to negotiate with an infection?"

[situational_ethics]

"Ever try to negotiate with a Trip?" he asked, dryly.

[bigbadrose]

"Yes!" She beamed. "The guy I'm looking for, his ship is psychic, but I didn't know how to communicate with her, so we fused our hearts together! And that worked." And nearly destroyed the universe. Yanno. As you do.

[situational_ethics]

"Not quite what I meant, but good to know."
