[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'm building a robot under climbing equipment in the gym. So I know which one I chose. I really need that lab space to work.

It would have been nice to put a second favorite.

Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff there. For me, it was more of a question of picking the thing I really wanted most, or something I figured was more likely to win out. I ended up picking art, because that's what I really wanted out of the various options, but as I understand it, 'art' has come up as an option every single time the train has done one of these polls, and it hasn't won yet. And it looks like that'll probably happen again; it seems like a toss up between a lab and double rooms at this point, but these polls tend to stick around for a few days, so we'll see.

[He shrugs. Really any of them would be nice, so he won't complain no matter what ultimately wins out.]

Also? I'd like to thank you for the mental image of a clock that kicks you in the butt every hour, because that's kind of hilarious and awesome.

I picked the lab. It sounded the most useful of the options and wasn't something we already had something similar. It did pain me to not select art though.

The clocks option though, I was curious about that. The music carriage is basically a giant music classroom so I can't help but admit I'm curious what clocks would be.

I think that giving all of them at once might dull the novelty of each singular addition. And also that the ability to choose gives us a certain feeling of control over our environment.

They didn't mention barbeques on the list. [Trust him, if it had something to do with food, Vegeta would had noticed it on the list.]

[It couldn't be, could it? Countless universes, what are the chances? It would certainly explain a few things, though...

Shoving all that aside, questions were asked and should be answered.]

Don't think 'all of the above' was an option. Seems a bit greedy, anyway.

[lanxichen]

I think... some of the questions are repeating from the previous time there was such questioning. Perhaps if you do not choose something now, you will yet have the chance to choose it later.

Of course, I might be wrong.

[agoodsoul]

Would've been better if we got all of it. I picked double rooms. Dunno if that's more like couples and stuff, but figured if it is that could still make the regular cabins rooms uh... roomier.

Lotta folks seem to be tied up.

[About that glitter...]

You got a magic way to get all that off ya?

[dyingpro]

I said we needed more plants. Always need some more food to grow and some more space to grow it, right? And it's great to see all the different types there are from everyone's worlds.

[Says the deity who spent his whole life underground.]

[secondconflict]

Glad you said to stop thinkin' about that question existentialism 'cause I was 'bout to have a full-on crisis. [He mostly means that as a joke]

Idea of a pool ani't half bad though. Once I did promise myself I was gonna swim more.

Audio.

I went for the lab. It'd be nice to have an actual lab and then maybe I won't have to worry so much about having points to refill my webshooters.
