[ His cute aliens are usually cute girls in alien facepaint. Still counts! As for her question... ]

Well, they helped the Rills out by acting as translators. They also served in a sort of probe capacity. Rills can't metabolize oxygen, send the Chumblies out to scout, report back with the findings.

[stealwithit]

[ --Snrk. Sorry, Doc, she's just gotta chuckle for a second. ]

I'm sorry, it's just--Chumblies. It's such a silly name for anything. I love it.

[helpline]

Isn't it though? [ He just matches that chuckle with a small little smile. ] It's a silly name and they look ridiculous, it's things like that which make space travel worth it.

[stealwithit]

I totally agree.

[ wait ]

I mean. If I could travel to space, that's what I'd be in search of, totally.

[helpline]

[ Ding ding ding he picks up on that. And is just gonna go around it a different way because hello there mystery girl, that slip of the tongue is an interesting one. ]

Hypothetically speaking, if you could go to space, to anywhere in the universe, what's the sort of place you'd visit first?

[stealwithit]

[ How are you pay attention, Doctor! ]

--I don't know! Probably somewhere that's nothing like Earth at all. With aliens.

[ That's vague enough, right? "Where would you like to go in space?" "Not Earth." ]

[helpline]

Take a better guess! 'Nothing like Earth,' that's hardly a good answer, give me specifics!

[ Vagueness shall be countered with being pushy. ]

[stealwithit]

Uhh... Somewhere colder? Like, definitely not a tropical planet or one that's practically on fire...?

[ She's trying! And true enough, Kasumi does prefer cooler than hotter! ]

[helpline]

In that case, I'd take you to the Ood Sphere. Entirely icy, cold for so long that they've got cities and buildings made out of ice. Snow as far as the eye can see.

[stealwithit]

[ She tilts her head curiously. ]

Huh... You mean like igloos, but a whole city of them?

[helpline]

Not in the slightest! Picture...picture a building, like a store or a government office, but made of ice. Walls are ice, floors are ice, support beams are ice, a planet cold enough that you could sculpt an entire building out of ice and not have it melt.

[stealwithit]

Wow. Now I'm thinking more like New York City, but made of ice?

That all sounds very... cool.

[ AAAYYYYY ]

[helpline]

[ AAAAAAAAAY ]

It is pretty chill.

what happened to this thread

[stealwithit]

What about the people who live there? Are they friendly? Or did they give you an icy reception?

puns. puns happened.

[helpline]

Oh, the Ood are entirely friendly. A little frigid at times, but that's more of a species trait than anything else.

[stealwithit]

Wow... You must snow a lot about a whole bunch of different species, huh?

[helpline]

I do! It freeze up your time for asking questions when you land somewhere.

[stealwithit]

Nice. That way you can get right into business instead of having to break the ice first, yeah?

[helpline]

There's none of people giving the cold shoulder when you know the basics.

[stealwithit]

That makes sense. It'd be a pretty huge brisk showing up on an alien planet not knowing anything about the folks who live there anyway, I'd imagine.

[helpline]

Precisely! I'd probably catch hail for being that ill-prepared in the first place.

[stealwithit]

Personally, I'd probably get cold feet! What would one even say to an entirely new species you don't know anything about?

[helpline]

Easy! I'm the Doctor, this is Regina, ice to meet you!

[ There's a big grin on his face before he frowns for a moment. ] Shall we count that one? I know you said 'icy' before, I don't know if 'ice' counts as a separate pun or not.

[stealwithit]

[ She actually looks a little relieved for that reprieve. ]

Y'know, I think we can count that one. Pretty sure we've melted down all our pun options.

[helpline]

If you'd ask me how many ice puns I've got currently bouncing around the brain, I'd say absolute zero.

Truce?
