The Doctor shook his head while he tried to drink from his cup, not in complete agreement. Of course he was quite a large fan of learning, but he was also a fan of senic tours. Especially those that led him to an adventure - which was more often then not.

"Mm," he said to interject, raising a hand and giving his head another shake, "that's good," he said looking at the coffee before continuing on a more relevant point. "Ah! Not a fan of the scenic route? But think of all the things you haven't seen! The world's full of..." he searched for the word and failed, "stuff!" He finished waving a hand in a grand gesture. "I never get tired of this old Earth, here," he said, and I've got all the time in the world to get bored with it, his mind added.

----------------------

Maven's eyes widened a bit at the explanation and alarm bells sounded in her mind - loud and obnoxious alarm bells. It's a coded threat, her mind shrieked, too much coincidence. The man knew who she was and was toying with her. She did not let her surprise become too evident as she spoke smoothly.

"Costa Verde? I have a friend from there," she said while she began to walk back through the store closet/ office space to get to her room. She needed information and now, but she certainly would not get it if the man was sitting next to her. "I should get back to my room, I have to finish a few things. And you may call me Maven," she answered over her shoulder, the words barely heard.

When she got into her room she shut the door and scrambled to open her phone, scrolling through lists to find the number. There it was! She pressed call and alternated between pacing and tapping her foot until a voice answered - why the hell was he answering the phone?

"Hello?" Came a deep voice.

"What are you...never mind. I need to speak to Bennett," she ordered.

"Noah's a bit busy," the man responded and Maven glared, she could picture his smug grin.

"Fine, then I need you to get me information on an Owen Harper."

"Well...golly gee," the man said childishly before his tone darkened, "want to give me a more generic name?"

"He's British if that helps," she snapped.

"Doubtful," the man replied icily. Maven was treading on thin ground now, and she was past the point of caring.

"Shut up and do it!" She snarled.

"I would not speak to me like that," he responded coolly.

"I don't care, this needs to get done asap, and if you won't do it then get some temp to," she ordered in a quieter tone, trying to keep anyone from over hearing.

"Good bye, Kelly," the voice said without any signs of doing what she asked.

The line went dead again and Maven cursed. Just her luck to get that little snot. She should have just called Bennett on his cell, but no - she just had to follow protocol.

(lol, Maven's so paranoid.)
-----------------------------------

Gandalf laughed and removed the pipe from his mouth seeing Qui-Gon's hurried mannerisms and syrup.

"Quite alright, quite alright," he said and patted the man's shoulder. "Cutting this all a bit close are we?" The older man asked looking to the syrup bottles with a pointedly raised brow.

"You should hurry," he added, looking down and his watch that had previously been hidden by his sleeve. "The students might revolt if breakfast is not ready when they are. And I do so hate trouble on the first day."

"Hey, same here, I guess," Ruby interrupted suddenly, distracted by someone mentioning Earth was a wonderful place. Or something along those lines. "It's just a fabulous planet. Filled with...." She was caught in the same trap as this rather strange man. "Stuff!" She then just realized how rude her intrusion into the conversation was and she hadn't introduced herself. She was rather new at this school anyway. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you my name. I'm Ruby. And who you guys are?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Owen watched as this Maven walked into her room. There was something that felt off about her. Her being located near him. What if they put her there to keep an eye on him. To be honest, he didn't even know who "they" were. He mused on it for a minute. His gut feeling told him this "Maven" was interested in him. And it wasn't for sex. He took out his mobile and texted the Captain: "At the school. Something odd. Know any Maven?"

The reply came almost immediately...but it wasn't Jack. "Tosh here. Jack's with Ianto. Who is she?"

"Teacher here. Next to me."

"Probably there to make sure you don't bored. Have fun."

Owen sighed as he put his mobile back into his pocket. He had thought Tosh would take him seriously. But then again, she wasn't going to take anything he texted seriously. Resigned to that fate, he sighed again as he waited for his classes to start.

Turwaihtion gave the Doctor a wan smile. "I have seen Ambar in all it's glory, my good Doctor. From Minas Tirith, to Rome, to Constantinople ere it's fall to the Ottomans, the founding of Moscow, trust me. There is nothing I have not seen that would interest me. Only things to learn. And young minds to educate. How many here were on the walls of Harlech? Were at Culloden, Gettysburg, Clontarf and Seringapatam? I can use those experiences, my friend. This world holds no other joys for me." He said grimly, rememberig how his family had left him at Mithlond.



Turwaihtion shrugged. "It is no intusion. You are a co-worker now. There will be worse thing here, trust me." He said to the woman, pulling out a pipe as he did so. "My name is Turwaithion Findecanoion. Born on the Helcaraxe, lived most of my life in Beleriand and Lothlorien. Call me Waith. I'm the World History Professor." He said, extending a hand as he doused a mathc, his pipeweed smouldering cheerily.

(I know Tur, the Doctor is just being...well, the Doctor for lack of better explanation.)

The Doctor blinked for a moment - slightly taken aback by the man's melancholy. Slightly over dramatic, he thought, but he wouldn't say it. That would be rude, as Rose would tell him - and he always tried to listen to Rose. . If Donna were here - how he missed that woman- she would have told the man herself to "Get up and stop sulking."

As it were neither of those companions were here, so he did the next best thing when listening to his explanation ( smile and nod) and slowly checking off all the stopping points - of course, he hadn't been to Gettysburg...he reminded himself to do that sometime, maybe winter break. Not that it mattered when he went, he could come back whenever he wanted and nobody would notice.

He heard the woman - another teacher, he assumed- and shouted, hopping up and pointing when she reached the conclusion.

"See! Stuff!" He exclaimed excitedly as if she had hit the nail on the head. "Oh, I like you," he said with a grin and a nod.

After Waith had introduced himself he waved, "And I'm Doctor John Smith, but you can just call me Doctor."

----------------------------------

Maven's previous phone conversation had not ended well, and it came as a surprise when she received an e-mail to her phone from the Company. Well, from one of the company members, she was fairly sure that it had been a temp. Thank God that the man who had answered was curious or else she was sure that he would not have done anything - she could hear the reasoning, "What's in it for me?" Well, apparently it was a good cure for boredom.

"Found 123 matches to your Owen Harper. Most dead ends. Three in jail, one interesting match. ~S" She skimmed the message quickly.

"Is that all he has to say? One is interesting. Damm that man!" She slid the phone open her fingers about to press redial when she heard the dreaded bell for breakfast which meant she only had an hour until class, and she still had quite a load of planning to do.

"Fine," She muttered at the phone, glaring down pointedly at the Primatech name highlighted on her calling list. "I'll deal with this later," she said with a sniff and a shake of her head. "But first...I need to finish my coffee."

With that in mind she sat down at the large black desk at the front of the room her cup of coffee in one hand, pencil in the other, with several different spread sheets scattered over the rest of the desk top.

Marianna stopped for a moment to hold the door for Jessica, who seemed to have forgotten something. Trying not to gape at Jessica's cloak, she stuttered out an answer. "A...actually, it's Marianna," she said shyly. "Yours is Jessica, right?" She forced one of her signature sweet smiles to her lips, backing just out of the way to let her roommate through.

Indilwen was lost in the sea of teachers, all chattering with each other and drinking that strange-smelling "coffee," whatever that was. She slid over towards the pot of hot water and poured some out for herself, grabbing a tea bag. Her captaining instincts were fighting hard to take over, but her common sense won out. The steam from the tea always had a calming effect on her.

Soon she decided that it might be good for her to meet some of her colleagues, and she began to step farther into the room, her nerves clenching.

Ruby smiled at the "Doctor's" comment. It was rather hard to find anyone that liked a demon like her. She decided to tell a little about her history, or rather her brush with history. Well, everyone was doing it, she thought. "I've been around since the plague was big," she shared. "Nothing major since then. The occasional war or disaster. I've only just begun enjoying life here again." She paused for a minute and started again, "So, what is with this school and one named people? Wraith, Doctor, Ruby...But what exactly are you a doctor of, Dr. Doctor?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the only "real" doctor, well the only one to his knowledge, was listening to his iPod while waiting for his first class to enter, staring off into space. A bell rang but Owen ignored it, assuming that his class would arrive five minutes anyway regardless of what he did. He considered texting Tosh for an alien corpse to dissect despite knowing full well what Tosh would say to him. He could, at least, fantasize dissecting a dead Weevil in a classroom. Suddenly the door opened, revealing a timid little boy with a surprised look on her face.

"Umm...Mrs. Chopin?" he asked. Owen hoped he didn't actually think he was Mrs. Chopin.

"No, sorry, she's gone off on vacation," he said, taking his feet off the desk and plucking his headphones from his ears. "I'm Doctor Owen Harper. And I'll be teaching your biology class." He looked at the clock with surprise and back at the student. "Aren't you a bit early?"

Waith smoked his pipe for several minutes in silence, then noticed an Elf woman, obviously a new teacher, standing in the doorway. She looked rather anxious, so he stood to his full height of 6' 11'' and walked over. "Mae govannen, mellon nin. Man anírach cerin an le?" He asked in his native tongue. One could only hope she was not a Quenya speaker.

"Marianna. Right. Yeah, it's Jessica. Excuse me--" she slipped into the room, took her cloak off, and threw it on the bed. "Hey, do you mind showing me around?"

---



Qui-Gon chuckled. "I wasn't as prepared as I should have been." He had actually gotten a wheelbarrow full of maple syrup bottles from the grocery store. "Well, I should run..." With that, he made for the cafeteria.

(Yay! I am done with school and therefore shall post. ^_^ No sense in the fun rp dying so fast)

The Doctor raised and brow, his mouth pulled into a straight line and his brow raised. Truthfully no one had ever really asked him what he held his doctorate in. After all he wasn't just a doctor but The Doctor. A big difference in his mind and the mind of most others who knew him, but as luck - and a short conversation with a friend who specifically told him he should have an idea should the question come up - he had an answer.

"Physics, of course," he said with a smile. It was only logical considering that was the course he was to be teaching this year, or for however long he was here. Which would be until he solved the curious energy signatures found about the campus. It was like several things from different places had converged on this point and he was more than interested in why.

------------------------

Maven felt like she might have a panic attack soon. Her phone had rang three times in the last twenty minutes - the caller was someone she did not want to hear from at this moment. Her mother. The woman had certainly found out that she had left New York for her job, and it had conveniently slipped her mind to tell the woman good bye.

Smothering, over protective and most of the time completely out of sync with her daughter's emotions, Connie Ann Ferrel (no, scratch that, Thames, since her newest marriage) was not one who like being forgotten. And now Maven was in the hot seat and would be for quite sometime after it looked like. It had been a brilliant idea at the time, but now she was paying the price.

She stood from her stool and hurried to the storage room or office - she couldn't decide what to call it. Grabbed a diet coke from the fridge and then ran back to her room, digging about her purse for her anti-anxiety meds. Found! She read the prescription and then popped two into her mouth, tilted back her head swallowing them and then took a swig of the coke.

She sank back down into her chair and looked at the clock - there was still quite a bit of time until class. Breakfast was about to start. And she was already having the worst first day of her life.

-------------------------------

Gandalf removed the pipe from his mouth and let out a few more smoke rings - normal color this time - no sense in confusing people at the moment, and looked to Qui-Gon with a smile. He patted him on the back.

"Go on then. Students will be waiting," he said with a jovial laugh while returning the pipe to his mouth. He watched as the man ran across the lawn. The wizard pushed a hand into his pocket and looked at the gold pocket watch that rested in it. Pressing the button at the top he watched the cover swing open to reveal the time.

"Cutting it close," he muttered around the pipe, closing the watch and placing it back in his pocket. He left his hand there and began his walk anew.
