[she's sitting in one of the quiet rooms, up to her elbows in glitter, probably best not to ask]

Hallo! I'm the Doctor. [she scrunches her nose] Sorry if that's awkward for some people. [she'd deal with that later]

But! Well! That was a bit of a question, wasn't it? What will make us happy. I mean, avoiding the existentiality of it because that is a broad spectrum requiring much deep thought and lots of poor decision making skills--

There are a lot of choices, and I don't know how to choose.

A lab would be nice. More labs. All the labs. A pool. Love a good pool. Good for barbeques and catching your falling wife from a fifty foot drop. ... er... that might be awkward too. Sorry. Plants. Could always use more of those. Double rooms well-- I'd rather be able to stay up as late as I like.

But clocks! Now, clocks are intriguing. What does that mean? Does it mean a room with clocks? Does it mean clocks throughout the train? And what kind of clocks? Wall clocks? Grandfather Clocks? Kicksey-Winseys? I had a Kicksey-Winsey once made by ...Bloody Stupid Johnson, I think is name was. Never did tell the time but every hour on the hour it would hunt you down and give you a boot in the rear. A great way to get things done if you get settled in one particular task.

Oh but I like art, and I love games.

D'you think I can choose all of them?

I think we deserve all of them.

What do you think?

I know the feeling. [the universe was also like that. She was always in it, true. Well, usually. But nothing beat being in it and free, spiraling out to dangers untold and wonders uncounted]

I'm sure you'll return one day. Even better, you'll return with stories. Not much will beat this.

That would depend greatly on the disposition of the audience.

[She's not sure that 'I missed out on the first year of the post-Ganondorf rebuilding process because I was kidnapped by an eldritch world-travelling machine' is going to fly with a lot of her people, to be honest.

Though who knows, maybe they'll create a republic in her absence and she can run off to be a Sheikah bard. Stranger things have happened.]

Fair, but-- some stories, I don't know. I don't know how anyone can say no to stories. Especially brilliant ones. Even if they don't like them it's something exciting, isn't it?

[wisdominshadows]

I am sure many on the train will have such an experience....

[A shrug.]

But my guess is that many in Hyrule will have had quite the fill of excitement over the past few years. And there will be a different story on the people's lips regardless- one much closer to home.

[famtastic]

The great thing about stories is that when one ends another begins. [a faint smile]

In any case, I hope you get home soon...

[wisdominshadows]

It does at that.

And apologies. I shouldn't inflict a glum mood on others.
