"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.

Or a super nerdy Sam from Cheers.

He clearly takes pride in his work though, that's cool. "Sounds really impressive. How many are there like you? Are you in every universe, or only one?"

and I scrapped his bartending icon from the injoke scene too!!

"Oh, several," he says with a casual flitter of his hands. "We keep the neighborhoods all different sizes, from little villages to giant cities, so everyone has an environment which suits them. But mine was unique. I was the first Architect to build a neighborhood and then stick around afterwards to help them settle in."

He looks particularly pleased with and excited about that fact. "I've always been fascinated by them, you see. And... I think the group I had really exceeded my expectations, truth be told."

XDDD alas

[bigbadrose]

"Yeah?" Rose is way more curious about the dimensions thing, but she's not about to steer the conversation away from someone's passion. "What happened?"

[takeitsleazy]

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." He makes a face, letting the sound trail off into more of a resigned sigh. "It ... didn't go so hot. My supervisor didn't really like how it turned out, and the people I built it for ... they wanted to go somewhere else. But since I'd become their friends, living with them like that? I tried to get them there."

He paused.

"I'm not really supposed to do that. I think you could say I got in - what is it? Deep shirt."

[bigbadrose]

Rose laughed quite cheerfully. "Sounds like mad fun! Sod your supervisor. Now you've got friends you can team up with them and plot against him."

[takeitsleazy]

"That was the idea, yes." He's palpably relieved that she thinks that way, and grins, feeling the bit of anxiety that always crept up when the truth loomed starting to fade. "If I could still see everything, I'd feel a little bit better about leaving them ... but ..."

He shook his head. There wasn't really anything for it, after all.

"Janet, my assistant - no. My best friend - will look after them."

Because they'd come way too far together for him to insult her by calling her anything less.

[bigbadrose]

Whatever teacher they have cannot possibly have as much of the right kind of information as this man here, so Rose just ditches her seat entirely and moves to sit on top of the empty desk next to him. "Tell me about the nine dimensions? If you can? I think I know the first five maybe? Point, line, depth, time, and choice??? Okay, not so sure on that. I was rubbish in maths and science. Thing is though," she hopped off the desk into a chair, leaning backwards on it so she could rest her elbows on the desk and peer up at him, not even consciously trying to be cute, but definitely a little disarming out of habit like when she wanted something from her father or the Doctor.

"I've been traveling dimensions lately, just before coming here. I know I've been 2-D, and without sound and stuff, but I've been doing it all very blind. Just human, me. Determined human, but still--" a vague gesture to everything around them. "Fumbling in the dark."

[takeitsleazy]

"Well," he says, thoroughly - how would Tahani put it? chuffed - that she wanted to learn from him, of all people, "you've got a decent start to it, but -" a friendly chortle that was meant to disarm just as much as her cuteness, "-you're also seriously really, really wrong. I mean - choice? That's not a dimension, it's a concept. Look, just ... treat your brain like an Etch-a-Sketch and shake your head around a bit."

He waited patiently for her to, you know, actually do it.

[bigbadrose]

She didn't. But she closed her eyes and nodded. "Okay go!" giant beam.
