Ciderfest BOAS APP Stories: 86?!

by Janicethelight


79. T.A.R.D.I.S. (Actor Prompt)

Character: Doctor Whooves

Quest Outline: Whooves used a page to "bring the past to him". Now, he has snapshots off all kinds of different times in pony history, and needs help deciding where to go!

Character Position: 
Doctor Whooves has spent his whole life dedicated to science! Ever since a particularly traumatic experience as a foal, he's been using science to help explain the world around him.

So, when the page came down, he wanted to experiment. Can it be edited? Erased? How many things can you ask for?! Does the page know what you mean, or does one need to be careful of the wording? 

One thing he couldn't stop thinking about it-making time come forward to him. Yes, there was a magic spell, but what if ANYPONY could go back? What amazing things could they find?!

Actor Instructions:

When chatting with the con goer, try to steer the conversation towards time travel, and talk about the snippets you have once you used a page. You have another, ready to use. You show them all the pictures of different times and different worlds (use past generations of ponies, Equestria girls, other fandom lands like fall out Equestria if you can do so without any gore. Anywhere you think the doctor might find interesting!) You tell them you're going to use the page to make some sort of time machine that can go anywhere and anywhen you wish, but you can't decide the best first adventure and ask them for advice!

If they tell you to enjoy the time and place you are in, give them the codeword #theresnoplacelikehome (hero)

If they tell you to go to a decently safe area (Equestria girls, g2, g3 maybe g1 up to you) give them the codeword #bluebox (chaos)

If they tell you to go to a dangerous area (FOE, any timeliness Starlight made to get back at Twilight, maybe g3.5 (those things were creepy. They HAD to be evil) give them the codeword #oncomingstorm (villain)

*note: the examples for areas to give each codeword for are just suggestions. You can always ask why they choose the area they do and use that! For example, g1 could be evil or chaos depending on what the reason is.

Character Headspace: 

Doctor Whooves has a million questions and every answer only adds to those questions. He wants to know everything. He is excited by the idea of these pages and the infinite possibilities they could give to scientists. The things they could learn!
