"Well, last time I was here I had to stop this place from imploding, so I never got the chance to look around properly. But today, we have all the time we need!" he said, rushing up to the front steps.

"Okay…?" Lucas followed the Doctor quietly, taking in his surroundings with a calm manner. He acted as though being on a literal star wasn't completely ludicrous.

Susan followed. This was actually quite intriguing to her. The Doctor ran into the temple, where metalworking was going on all around them. "The Delphorians believe that crafting is a way of worship! Think of that! Tourists can come here and tinker, and to them it's a little fun to pass the time, but to Delphorians it's a holy ritual!"

"Wouldn't that offend the Delphorians, though? Knowing that tourists are kind of being sacrilegious to their beliefs? I would think that it would upset them to know we're just tinkering for fun and not respecting their culture."

"Well, they actually don't mind at all. They feel that if people are enjoying the creations it honors their gods, so it works out in the end."

"Hmm… interesting…" Lucas picked up a strange looking, unidentifiable trinket of sorts. He had no clue what it might be, but it looked fascinating.

"Would you like to ask them if you can make anything? I know I'd like to." the Doctor asked.

"Oh! Um, s-sure, if you want to…" Lucas carefully set down the trinket, being careful not to break it.

The Doctor lead them to a desk, where a smiling cleric greeted them in a pleasant tone. "Hello, would you like to partake in a worship session?" the reptilian creature asked. "Yes, we would." the Doctor said, gesturing to Lucas and Susan. "Have you taken part of worship before, or is it your first time?" the Delphorian asked. The Doctor told him it was indeed their first time, and the cleric went over a tutorial of safety and metalworking, then left them to make their own creations.

Lucas tried his best to remember how to work with the metal whilst doing so. He managed to make a small dog out of what he was given, but not without a few minor casualties. The sharp ends of the metal had cut his hands in several places, but he ignored it for the time being.

Susan had made an Astrosteel dagger, an elegant instrument more for show than anything else. The Doctor had made a plaque, with glittering dust designed to look like a nebula. When they were all finished, they were able to take their crafts with them and the Doctor decided to look at the shops for a little longer.

Lucas held the metal dog with one hand and held his bleeding hand against his shirt to try and stop it from bleeding any more than it already had. He followed the Doctor and Susan quietly as they examined the shops and the Doctor geeked out over them.
(I should probably go to bed now. Bye ^^)

(See you later!) "Doctor, the heat is getting unbearable. Besides, we've been here far too long, we should get back to the TARDIS." Susan said. "You're right. Lucas, come on!" the Doctor said, beckoning him to follow.

(Hi sorry I'm here now)
"Yes, sir." Lucas followed the Doctor back to the TARDIS, panting slightly and wiping sweat off his forehead. He felt like he was melting and the little metal dog had burned his hand because it had become so hot.

(Hi!) "Sit down, I'll get you both a glass of water." the Doctor ordered, walking off. Susan didn't seem affected very much by the heat but was nearly drenched in sweat, which she found embarrassing.

Lucas sat down on the ground, leaning against the wall of the TARDIS. He was feeling pretty lightheaded from the intense heat, but he supposed that the others were doing better since they weren't fully human.

The Doctor came back with a pitcher of water and two glasses. He poured them out and handed one to Lucas and the other to Susan. "Well, that was fun. Of course, I did say one trip, and I meant it." he warned.

(Doctor: God you humans are so frail)
"Thank you." Lucas accepted the water and sipped it gratefully, his head immediately clearing a bit when he did so.

"So, one trip. One trip to the future, now one trip to the past." he said.
(Logic skillz lmao)

"Isn't that two trips? Or is my 'painfully human brain' just not understanding again?"

"Not painfully human, just human. Honestly, the human race is the most triumphant of all, lasting until the end of time- oh, sorry, spoilers." the Doctor said. "And don't spoil the fun!"

"Uh… okay…?" I guess we'll just see how this goes, then. Whether I'll die or not, who knows? "Where are you taking this thing now?"
