[The first thing everyone will notice in today's video will be the view of a clear blue sky. It was a beautiful day in Heropa! Not a single cloud in the sky; however it won't be long until a song will be heard loud and clear off screen. All those living in the same neighborhood around Heropa #33 will definitely hear and notice it was coming from the rooftop of the house. It would seem a certain someone was singing today!

While she is singing, a large group of white cumulus clouds will begin to move into view (to those watching live will notice they are appearing from the rooftop to the sky), at an unusual pace, then a sound like wind pounding into the middle of those fluffy clouds will be heard before pieces of the once seen dense clouds will begin to scatter out of the way to form a clearing of light cirrus clouds over the sky, leaving a large hole in the middle of the group of cumulus clouds that weren't affected, and those cloud will begin to change color as the video and song continues to go on. In no time at all, it was clear that a fire rainbow will appear on-screen. That is when the song ends for a moment before a voice is heard as though someone was right next to it, long strands of light orange hair can be seen at the corner.]

Hello, everyone! Umm...I bet you may be wondering what all this is about. You see, I'm Nike, and my power is to control the weather like this. I haven't been here very long. It'll be two months, maybe, that I found myself here. But that isn't the point of this video.

[She'll look up at the sky which will have her hair disappearing from view as well.]

I wanted to do something today. Something I've been avoiding ever since I got here: I want to ask everyone who could hear me one very important question!

What is it about this world do you find beautiful? It could be anything, and anyone from any city can participate, no matter how long you've been here for. Everyone's voice and opinions matter. No matter how mundane of a reason it can be, as long as it comes from your heart.

[And with that said, she'll go back to her song as she begins to manipulate the clouds and wind, allowing the fire rainbow to change into a more zigzag pattern. She'll stop singing once more.]

And with that said, I...I'm going to accept requests for weather phenomena you want to see in the sky today. Be it for your personal entertainment, a special occasion, or simply to help me train. I'll do it free of charge, and as long as it isn't too dangerous. [There will be a beat.] I can only do this in Heropa right now. I can't easily travel to other cities, so....I can record the occasion for you to have with you. Or we can plan something out. [Another pause. Her voice will take a more sheepish one.] I-I hope it helps brighten someone's day. Maybe even help you feel lighter...?

[With that said, she'll turn the video off now. She's talked long enough.]

(ooc note: For those living in Heropa, Nike's sky manipulation can be seen by half the city, those in the housings are the closest ones to see it. And her song can be heard mainly around her block due to her voice amplifying effect.)

Incredible! You're the oldest person I know! I mean, the oldest one I've ever encountered here! Or anywhere! How does it feel to be two thousand years old? Why are you that age? Are all people in your world as old as you are!? Are you a wizard? Have you seen this "universe" thing that I've been told so much about!? [Doctor, you may want to stop her now because she has a lot of questions to ask now. A lot!]

[ That's....a lot of questions. The Doctor frowns a bit as he tries to answer them all at once. ]

It doesn't really feel that different from any other age, I'm that age because I haven't died, depends on the Time Lord, not a wizard but I've been called one before, and I've seen a lot of the universe—what specifically do you want to know about it?

Time Lord? Is that what you refer to your kind as? Do you control time like the name suggests? Is that why they refer to you as a wizard?

[She couldn't help feel excited to meet another world traveler. It was exciting! Although it made her feel small, but it was still mystifying to her.]

What's it like? Someone told me it was very, very, very large, and filled with countless stars. What else can you tell me about it?

Sort of. My species is Gallifreyan, Time Lord's just a title that some of us have picked up, like professors or doctors. And no, I don't control time—I do travel through it, though. I've got a spaceship back home.

[ Something that the Doctor's inordinately proud of. His spaceship is the best spaceship. c: ]

As for the universe...it's big, bigger than you can possibly imagine. But at the same time, it's cozy. There's countless stars, stars for every sort of galaxy out there. So even though it's cold and dark and scarily huge, you just look out at all those other stars and realize 'huh, I'm really not alone in the first place, am I.'

Traveling through time instead of controlling it, and it is part of your duties as a Time Lord. It all sounds so unbelievable. If you would have told me all of this back home, I would've believe you were mad. It really is difficult to grasp. [But she does believe him and accepts it. Saint Walker has introduced her to the subject of space and the universe. She has been trying her best to study about it. The thick books are difficult to understand, but the picture books aren't.] What is your spaceship like? Is it like the ships used to travel the sea with?

[The more she thought about it, the more overwhelming the idea of space and time travel are. Then again, the idea of other worlds and stars being potential worlds seen from a far distance was incredible. Now she was imagining him riding a ship through the dark and infinite corners of space with the stars as his light and the worlds he finds along the way as his infinite ports.]

Cozy? [She was trying to understand his words. Trying to imagine it in her own way.] Does it have a voice or feelings? It sounds like it gains a powerful feeling from you if you can see it in such a positive way. And what's a galaxy? Is it another way to refer to universe?

Not entirely. It looks like a police box of all things—thankfully, it's bigger on the inside. Can you imagine traveling through space in something the size of a police box?

[ It would be cramped as hell. ]

As for the cozy, it's cozy in the sense that even if you're alone, you're surrounded by countless stars and countless planets and each of those planets has countless people on it. As for galaxies...Space 101! The universe is everything. Inside the universe are galaxies. Inside the galaxies are planetary systems. And inside the planetary systems are planets.

A police box? [Doctor, why are you traveling in a small box decorated in the form of a police uniform?] How big is the box? And....truth be told, I am starting to notice the reason people have referred to you as wizard now. Only a wizard could travel in a box in somewhere so big and dark.

[Cramped! More like, it would be too small for the Doctor to ride on unless it was his size or something. Now to imagine the true meaning behind his words, Nike will close her eyes for a moment as she decides to allow her senses to become more open, allowing the voices and feelings she has been somewhat lowering the volume of to become louder once more. Her expression will turn to a painful one, but over time she will relax as she begins to breath deeply and adjust to those senses for a bit. Could it be possible space feels like this? Only filled with even more voices and feelings and sensations?]

...I suppose if you are able to watch and listen from a safe distance from all those countless planets and people, then it could feel warm and offer a gentle melody. [She'll open her eyes as she looks at the Doctor.] Do you have a favorite world or time you like to visit? [Space 101 will leave her silent once more. There may be a reach for her notebook and pen that was by her side. She'll be writing down the terms he is speaking about.] The universe is everything. Galaxies are filled with groups of plants which can be seen as stars from a distance if there is a sun nearby. Um. Does that mean galaxies are their own type of realms within an even bigger one known as the universe? Like there's another realm in this world too? [A realm within a realm kinda idea. Her head was beginning to hurt a little as she thought about it.]

It's not a box! It just looks like a box, it's a TARDIS. Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. And it looks about seven feet by three feet on the outside but on the inside, it's infinite.

[ And confusing. The Doctor's not gonna try to explain the transdimensional nature of the TARDIS because hey, baby steps, we can do baby steps. ]

My favorite world's Earth, actually! And well, technically yes. Don't think of them as realms, you'll get confused if you think of it as just realms. This planet, this Earth is in a galaxy—a galaxy that's remarkably similar to your Earth back home, assuming you're even from Earth in the first place.

Infinite!? [She looks amazed at the possibility of it being as large as space while not looking like the type.] Is it like one large endless room or does it hold an unlimited amount of them?

[She's more curious if it is one room or a billion other rooms all inside while it looked like a large box.]

Oh, I'm definitely from Earth....if I remember my science lessons correctly. [She skipped out on a lot of her lessons to be the next ruler.] Just a different version, maybe. I'm still trying to understand the true meaning behind that. The idea of a universe and galaxies and stuff like that are very new to me. It's overwhelming, but sounds beautiful all at once. You're lucky you can see it with your own eyes, Doctor. It must be fun to have so much freedom to explore, right?

It holds an unlimited amount of rooms. With jettisoning rooms and adding more rooms in and changing some rooms, don't ask me how many rooms the TARDIS has because I really don't know.

[ And ohhh he can't help but smile a little as Nike mentions freedom...but it's a sort of sad smile. ] I've got as much freedom as any other imPort here: my TARDIS isn't in this world.

No, no! I think this is the case, where even if you do explain it, I won't ever get it. That is beyond my understanding. The TARDIS is an amazing and mysterious ship! She sounds so very unique! It's too bad you couldn't keep her...

[She would have liked to meet her. Very much. And just as she said it, Nike will wonder if speaking about it hurts him or not. She has been suffering from homesickness, suffocation, and a constant itch to travel this world as a whole now that she had no one to stop her unlike back home. Did the Doctor have it worse than she did?]

Do you miss her? How do you cope with remaining in one spot for so long? It feels like...they're keeping you in a cage right now.

I cope by travel. Whenever Heropa's stifling, I'll head up to Maurtia Falls for the day. When that get stifling, I'll head to De Chima. I'm thinking of getting a car so that when De Chima gets stifling I'll travel somewhere else.

[ Ridiculous travel, that's how he copes. ]

You know, that sounds like a great way to distract yourself. I think your car idea is a good one. That is if the people of this world doesn't mind it. Are we allowed to travel to other cities without using the porters though?

I don't see why not! We've been to other cities before for swear-ins, there's nothing preventing us from travel.

I guess not if you put it that way.

[She did always think the swear-ins were an exception, so she never thought normal travel would be okay.]

...I almost want to follow your example in traveling between cities whenever I wish to be away for a bit.

Edited 2016-06-29 05:00 (UTC)

You know, I am planning to get a car sometime soon. Maybe the next time we're both bored we could travel somewhere.

R-Really? Is it really okay for me to? You don't mind having someone come along with you? I don't want to impose...

Course I don't mind! Travel's always better with company, after all.

Then I want to go with you whenever you get the chance to. I feel you'd be a very good guide. I promise we'll have a lot of fun together!

Oh we'd have a blast! [ said with a grin of his own. Because really, they would have a blast. ] You don't need to promise me anything.

Okay! I'll just keep this in mind. Always have my travel bag ready, just in case you call me one day out of the blue. No way I am passing on a opportunity like this!

[Can you tell she is gleefully excited at the idea now.]

Is there anything I need to bring along for a trip that you might like? Like any particular food or drink?

[ Her excitement's rubbing off—the Doctor's grinning as well. ]

Well, I'm a fan of jelly babies, but I don't know if you'd be able to find them anywhere in the States.
