[ Bill is used to smart phones, but she's not used to this sort of a network thing where people just go online to chat and ask questions about things... But, she's new here, and she's trying to fit in. Plus she has some questions that she definitely can't ask the Doctor about.

When the video starts, Bill's dressed in a drab dark outfit with her hair pulled back in a braided bun. Very dystopia. She does a little wave, then launches into her question. ]

Hi. I guess. My name's Bill, just arrived. Except the portal thing didn't exactly let me pack, so all I have to wear is... well, not exactly my style. Anyone know where's good to shop around here? Someplace not too expensive; I'm a university student now, I've got to keep a budget.

OH! [ She holds up a finger. ] If you were going to university, and could study anything you want, anything at all... What would you study? I'm at a bit of a loss, myself. Never actually done this officially before.

[ She pauses to think if she has anything else to add, but no. That's it. ]

Anyway, yeah. If you could help me out, that'd be brilliant. Cheers!

This is my first one, personally. I met a guy who said he was from a parallel universe a few days before I ended up here, but I've never actually gone to one.

[ He knows, however, that he will someday. That apparently, his powers let him open up breaches between worlds and sometime in the future he'll be good enough to just pop in and ask Kara to show up when they need some extra muscle dealing with an alien invasion.

Knowing about his future is weird. ]

Wait. Hold up hold up. Time Travel 101? Is that like... is there for real a college class teaching people how to time travel?!

[ That sounds like the biggest recipe for disaster that Cisco has ever heard, and he's heard some good ones. ]

[ Bill laughs. ]

Basically, yeah. If it's anything like his lectures were at the university back home, it'll be mostly theoretical lectures on the nature of time and lessons on what not to do if you ever do find yourself traveling in time.

[ Oh, well, that's a little less awful than Cisco had been imagining. More comparable to a class on 'what to do if you find yourself in a building on fire' rather than a class on how to commit arson. And if he's going to be doing theoretical lectures on the nature of time travel... ]

Does your friend have a policy on people sitting in on the class who aren't technically students? 'Cause... that definitely sounds relevant to some of my interests. Like, a lot.

[ Bill laughs, because that's exactly how she met the Doctor. Sitting in on his lectures when she wasn't enrolled as a student. ]

Don't worry. I'm sure he'll make room for whoever wants to listen.
