[Lydia is standing in the foyer of the gallery - and shrewd observers will notice that there is a new doorway off to one side]

Hi, everyone! I wanted to let you know that there are some new things for sale here at the Gallery for Apprentices to use on missions. Those of you who went with Rose, the Doctor and I on our first mission into the jungle will remember the tent the Doctor made - the tent that became this gallery. Now you can all have a tent like this! He and Missy have made three of them, and they're called TARDiS Tents.

[she backs carefully into the new room, so as not to trip over anything and still give those watching a good view. one is a circus tent, one is covered in skulls and crossbones, and the other looks like a little blue yurt]

Right now there are only three, but more will be made once these have sold! Please come by the Gallery in person if you'd like to buy one.

((OOC Note: If you have not already signed up OOC for a tent, you can do so here! This post is for those who have claimed a tent to come and purchase it, or for other Apprentices to ask questions.))

Especially if there's a way to make them to important places like the apartments, the Emporium, and the infirmary... Do you know if anyone can do magic with Earth? That'd be pretty useful.

[serpentinthegarden]

Not Earth specifically but my transformative magic has pretty much returned.

[ Side effects aside. ]

We would just need to decide what to turn the dirt into to make the hole. And... maybe ask the Doctor if punching holes in his old tent would cause it to collapse. Not sure his magic and mine would get along.

Lydia thought for a moment about tunnels, picturing the illustrations of Old Scratch's mines in a copy of Tom Sawyer she'd had as a kid. "What if you turned the earth into beams to help support the tunnels? I can ask him about the tent when I stop by the stables."

[serpentinthegarden]

"Support beams?"

His eyebrows rose up in an appreciative 'humans are clever' gesture, before he bobbed his head and verbally acknowledged that.

"Might work. It would help to support the ceiling... keep it from collapsing... Let me know what the Doc has to say about it?"

He sashayed away, only to end up pacing around the yurt.

"And I might put a bid in on this one."

[strangeandunusual]

"Absolutely. Thanks for the idea!" She grinned. "I'll put your name on the list for the yurt. Once you decide if you want it, just send me a message and we can work the rest out."

[serpentinthegarden]

"Right, message."

He waved lazily over his shoulder on his way out the door.

"You'll be hearing from me."

And she would be probably later that evening. The Doctor was weird and his ideas didn't always work but that tent he had made for their mission had made the trip more comfortable.
