[ The Doctor gives the camera a grin and a little nod. ]

Hello network! Just have a quick question here, time to take a roll call! Who's got magical creepy healing powers?

[ this is "being subtle." Sorry Clara. There's a big grin before, ]

Oh! Also, how do you own a shop? Apparently I got promoted. I've worked in a shop before but I don't think I've ever owned one.

Seraphim like angel seraphim?

[ Because hello, that's interesting. ]

[historiology]

Well, some humans back home kind of worship them for their blessings? But I guess it's more like they're elemental spirits? Mikleo's a water seraph, Lailah is a fire seraph, Edna's element is earth, you know.

[No, Sorey. He might not. Even being here for months he still sometimes takes a moment to remember not everyone grew up back home, or reading the Celestial Records.]

[helpline]

[ He does not know, but the Doctor can just kind of roll with it. ]

Well, pass it on to Mikleo that he's going to get a veeeery different reception in this world.

[historiology]

I think he already knows that.....

[After the Flour Incident when he met one of Sorey's roommates upon their arrival months ago and all.]

[helpline]

Glad that awkward little part's out of the way.

[historiology]

One of my roommates didn't believe me that Mikleo was even there and was throwing flour around trying to prove whether Mikleo was with me or not. So yeah. Kind of awkward.

[helpline]

Let me guess: Mikleo's invisible?

[historiology]

Yeah. Seraphim can't usually be seen or heard by most humans.

[helpline]

What about non humans? I'm an alien, after all.

[historiology]

Certain humans can. And maybe non-humans. It depends. Back home, humans use resonance - sort of like a spiritual sense, to see and hear the seraphim. You might be able to see and hear Mikleo. But I guess...if you think about it, technically all of us imPorts are aliens here?

[helpline]

Actually, no. The main species on this planet's human. So if you're a human on Earth even if you're from a different dimension, you're still not an alien. You're an extra-dimensional visitor, but not an alien.

[historiology]

I guess I never really thought about that stuff myself. Even seeing the outside world beyond Elysia was amazing to me. Let alone all this.....

[helpline]

Wait until you reach different planets. It happens to all worlds eventually and it's always mind-blowing.

[historiology]

I think it will take a while before Glenwood figures something like the Porter or whatever, to go to other planets or worlds.

[helpline]

Yeah, but it'll happen eventually! That's true of most worlds, after all.

[historiology]

I'm not sure something like that will happen in my lifetime at least. But maybe one day.

[Nobody knows what the future will bring. But then, Technically Sorey has a longer lifespan considering events later on Mikleo's told him about.]

[helpline]

You never know! It's something to hope for, at least.

[historiology]

There's always hope. Of course there is!

[Sorey is ever the hopeful optimist after all.]

[helpline]

[ the Doctor can't help but laugh, giving Sorey a grin. ] I'm the Doctor, by the way.

[historiology]

Oh! Right. Names. I'm Sorey!

[helpline]

Pleasure to meet you, Sorey! And, if you and Mikelo want to test resonance with not-humans, simply give me a call.

[historiology]

I think a non-human might have a better chance. It's kind of hard to say sometimes, since things were different back home and all. And we only more recently left Elysia too.

[helpline]

One way to find out, you know.

[historiology]

Easy enough. Just tell us when and where and we'll see.

[helpline]

The when's easy as long as it focuses on the where. I work at the Time After Time repair shop. Stop by any time!
