Character: The Doctor / John Smith
Mun: Vicky
Plot specific: N

Hello! You guys know me, right? I'm the Doctor! Or well, John Smith, but it's better if you call me the former. That's a much cooler name so you should call me that. Now let me just tell you two things.

One. We are all human, doesn't matter if one's a wizard and the other one isn't, we're human. No need to say who's lesser, because no one is. Everyone is incredible in their own way. I mean just look at all the cool things that muggles have! Cars! Airplanes! And we have cool things too!

The other thing is that if you guys come tonight to the Astronomy tower, you'll see the most amazing meteor shower! It's incredible, I'm telling you! Don't miss it! I may just put it in the next test. Or not. Who knows? I don't.

A meteor shower, huh? That's cool... And you're right. People are people.

[oncoming]

It is! This event only happens every once in 10 years, which, in astronomical terms, is not that long. Halley's Comet only comes every once in 75 years. And for some planets it takes hundreds of years to make a revolution around the Sun.

Yes, exactly. That's why we shouldn't judge anyone just from their abilities.

[whywereyouborn]

Oh, I see... It's really cool to think how a year is a different amount of time on other planets.

Right.

[oncoming]

Oh it's all incredible up there in the universe. It's huge, you know?! Even if the night looks so full of stars, they are all light years apart!

[a pause]

And they're all out there, waiting to be explored.

[witchafterall]

That sounds lovely, Professor. I'll be sure to make it.

[oncoming]

Perfect! The more the merrier. I'll be glad to see you there, Mami. This is a chance in every ten years, so it'll be a shame if you miss it.

[witchafterall]

I wouldn't miss an opportunity to witness something so beautiful.

[oncoming]

Great, that's the spirit! You'd be amazed at how many incredible things are out there. Much, much more than just some meteor showers.

[witchafterall]

You're right, of course. It's a shame more people don't recognize that.

[oncoming]

Oh it sure is. They'll regret missing out on it when they look back, though!

[he smiles]

Always preoccupied with the present. The future and what's out there...what was and what will be, are just as important, you know?

[witchafterall]

It's human nature, I think. As much as we concern ourselves with what will happen in the future... we tend to act with only our present interests in mind.

[oncoming]

Of course it is. We all do that, every once in a while. But worrying too much isn't very good either! Very complicated, yes.

But isn't that part of what makes us humans amazing? How complex we are.

[witchafterall]

It's amazing to think about.

[dearmesemtex]

Mm. I suppose you are correct, Doctor. Unfortunately, that means everyone is boring. Humans are boring.

Nonetheless, I will not miss the meteor shower.

[oncoming]

Humans aren't boring. Not all the time at least. You can always find something great about them!

Though that's great. I'll see you there.
