Surprising to see you here, then.

It's boring me to death here. @ :: The Doctor smiles::: What a balmy idea. For mhyself, I'm on my way to the southern hemisphere to our vacation cottage, to watch some scheduled meteor showers.

I'm called Trav. What are your names? @ Master> ::shrugs as if wiping away a disgusting thought:: You won't catch me falling into the same trap. So much for opposites attracting. She's got the academic credentials I don't have the discipline for. Let's hope my adventurous streak appeals to her. @ Master> Timeladies are nothing but trouble. @ (to the master) Hey! @ :: The Doctor looks at the Rani, working away:: Well, that might be true sometimes. @ Master> ::smiles wickedly:: I'm Magnus, but you can call me Master. @ ::The green cat runs right into Thetas leg as he tries to escape detection:: Whomp!

Yeeee haaaa! @ :::As the graduates walk through the line to various cheers, the Doctor moves ahead as he is in the middle of the class.::: @ Lili> :::Stands in line just behind Runcible and nudges him to quit trying to video tape while walking::: @ Master> You may have spent our entire undergraduate years trying to foil my plans, but you won't be so fortunate in the future. @ :: The Doctor to the Master::: You must have cheated to graduate ahead of me, perhaps you copied from Mistress Rani? @ ::The green cat climbs the curtain to watch the graduation from above:: ((Do the Prydonians graduate seperate from the Arcalians, or do they all kind of merge and go up together?))) @ Lord President>::narrows eyes at the graduate spying him with a camera:: @ My experience shows that you usually sow the seeds of your own failure. @ Runcible> :::Looks resentfully back at Lili and ignores her to try to get a picture of the green cat::: @ Master> I would have been student president of our college if it weren't for your interference. ::snaps:: ((Hm.. Ok.. Well Trav I think did pretty well on everything but MEchanics which she got an incomplete)) @ Master> There was nothing wrong with influencing the vote. @ :: The Doctor realizes that the collar on this absurd outfit is quite tight, and wishes he had graduated lower in his class so he could get the absurd thing off.::: @ ::The green cat pauses in his climb to wonder why he feels like someone is looking at him:: @ Runcible> This is for posterity....Too bad the president could have used a bit more lighting... @:::heads up to the stage, Greg following behind.

Very soon! @ :: The Doctor smiles at Trav's presentation.:: @ Runcible> No, I know what I saw! @ Master>::sees Rani lagging behind:: Coming? @ :: The Doctor thinks about what Trav said earlier, taking a TARDIS and vanishing. Seems a bit wild to him. She wouldn't do it, he thought.:: @ Rani>Now what's happening to the Zeta levels? @ Lili> Just shush. You might as well vid the rest of the others, but you have missed half the ceremony complaining about your sash @ :::Takes a small bow and jumps off the stage::: @ Master>::clears throat:: Andreopeia! Are you always going to have your head stuck in your useless experiments. @ Rani> My experiments aren't useless. And with this one I will have the graduate honors. <<>> @ :::she makes her way past a few folks crowded around and exits the auditorium for the TARDIS Mechanics room. ::: @ :: The Doctor steps forward to receive his sash and scroll.::: @ Lord President>::a bit exasperated trying to get his cap on straight, he waits for another graduate:: (((TARDIS MECHANICS ROOM= #))) @ Lord President>Here. I invest you with the seal of Rassilon. For what it's worth. @ Lili> :::Nudges Run::: Still have it going? I just want to look at that vid of Andreopia and remind her what she was like in 300 years. # :::she finds the Type 45 that was completely restored. She gazes over at the old Type 40 that she never finished and smiles::: @ ::Master and Rani stand on the steps to the dais waiting their turn, each glaring at the other:: @:::The Lord President frowns slightly at Theta, and mumbles:: Not up to your potential, Theta, but enough to get by. Perhaps you will change your ways after you leave the Academy. @ :: The Doctor takes his ssh and scroll from the President::: Why thank you, my Lord President, I didn't think you noticed me! @ Master>::peaking at her matrix remote:: What are you doing raising the alpha waves that high? Your figures are exponentially wrong. @ Runcible> Gossip. That's all you ever do. I perfer seeing the others in their dress robes. We'll certainly never see them like this in a long time.
