New player, +1 incredibly gay time traveling Brit who is NOT the Doctor?

[set_your_watches_for_fun]

So, hey, folks, my name is Terry, you can also find me at inkblotted, and I have been lured to this game inadvertently by the marvelous Gowa (Vilari, Ezio, and one of the bat boys). I am bringing this fellow from a somewhat obscure canon - he is from the podcast the Thrilling Adventure Hour, more specifically the segment The Cross-Time Adventures of Colonel Tick-Tock. He is exceedingly British in the most stereotypical of ways (as he is written by Americans and voiced by one, who are specifically aiming to make him comedically English) and is a bit of a riff on the Doctor and other time travelers of the Whoverse, though he is also his own weird thing.

Player-wise, I am a pushing-forty mother of a toddler and also a doctor (though not a physician, I have my doctorate in nursing practice, and will be working soon as a nurse practitioner and primary care provider in a small family clinic). Currently I am working nights as an RN, though, as I prepare to take my licensure exam, so I may be about at odd hours.

I think that's it, other than I am super excited to join you guys!

Oooh, I'm canonblind, but he sounds like a really interesting character! (A little sad I'm not playing the Doctor here for this...)

I'm Thomas, dastonyth on plurk (friending now!), and I play Armin Arlert from Attack on Titan.

I'm a 23 year old physicist who just graduated and is currently traveling Europe, so I'll have odd hours as well :)

Welcome to Synodiporia!

Oh, man, I would love to play him against an actual Doctor, it could be hilarious.

And congrats on your recent graduation! Whereabouts have you been/are you going in Europe? (May I recommend Munich?)

[neverfeltthatway]

It really could. (I played Eleven, to be specific. Before the 200 year jump, usually.)

Thanks! And I meant to go to Munich, but didn't have the time/ energy to go through it. I was studying abroad in Turkey, and since leaving Cesme on a ferry, I've been to Chios, Athens, and Thessaloniki in Greece, Sofia in Bulgaria, Vienna, Salzburg, and Fuschl in Austria, and Bratislava in Slovakia. I plan on visiting Mauthausen today, and over the next five and a half weeks will be visiting CERN at Geneva, Switzerland, Paris, visit Dublin for a day and take a 6 day guided tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland, visit friends and every country in the UK for a couple weeks, and visit friends in Sittard, Netherlands, Vaasa, Finland, and Skyttorp, Sweden (just outdside Stockholm) before I fly back to the US.

Damn, you don't do things small! Man, that sounds awesome - having the freedom to travel is the tits.

[neverfeltthatway]

That's why I'm doing it like this! After graduation, before finding a job, and already in Europe - it's the one time in my life I'll probably have this kind of freedom, no obligations or responsibilities to worry about.

(The only way I'm managing this long is staying with rp friends nearly every step of the way, though - otherwise I wouldn't have the money.)

[set_your_watches_for_fun]

When I went it, it was pretty much the same situation: I was twenty five, was moving to a new city and a new job, so I had time. No friends to stay with, though, that works out well that you can do it that way!

[neverfeltthatway]

Yep! It definitely makes sense to do it this way. Where did you go for that trip?

I'm actually doing the same thing when I get back to the US, only I'm traveling mostly on $1 megabus tickets, so I've nearly cut out transportation and housing costs. So I get to meet lots of people and then apply for jobs all over the country along the way.

I stayed with family in Wales for the first bit, then London for a few days, then we went to Paris, Zurich, Munich, Amsterdam, and Bruges.

And dang, smart way to look for work!

[neverfeltthatway]

I thought so! :)
