Decide Your Destiny: The Time Crocodile - Read-along 6

Maybe they need a better teacher? :wink:

Uhm, we didn’t have a tie…

Not that it matters, because the winning option was the same as the one Handles chose (good bot!).

Anyway, I’m very bad at lying and I was one of those kids who actually enjoyed school (geek, I know!). So I’d actually tell the truth here. I’m going to play this book exactly how I would do if this was real life.

WTF! It was 50/50 when I looked, and that was after the poll closed. The polls have been very buggy for me lately.

This begins to feel like one of these books. We make a choice but it doesn’t actually matter what we choose because we’re going to let a dice roll decide what we do anyway :wink:

Definitely - their teacher is always messing around on a Doctor Who forum when he should be teaching them. It’s scandalous.

In other news, guess what I forgot to read last night (I haven’t even got it down off the shelf yet…)

Sounds like the wrost possible teacher! Poor kids!

You forgot to go to work? Tell your wife you love her? Say something nice to me for a change?

Are You Sure About That

Well, according to my diagram, some of the choices don’t matter. This book does have seperate paths, but weirdly, just only two endings (spoiler for the ending)

I like school but traveling feels much more enticing.

The Time Crocodile - 82

Last choice: You lie and tell the Doctor you don’t need to go back

As you admit needing to return home but suggest a quick detour, the TARDIS is suddenly caught in a violent storm, forcing the Doctor to perform an emergency dematerialisation. After a turbulent spin and a crash-like stop, Martha feels shaken, and the Doctor prepares to investigate—but insists one of you must stay behind, clearly meaning you.

  • If you volunteer to stay, go to 68.
  • If you’re not sure whether to go with the Doctor, go to 51.

I think that this has started kind of good.

Oh bugger, our last choice had no bearing on the story because we admitted to lying ten words onto the chapter. Yay!

And these two choices are a bit weird: “stay behind” or “you’re not sure if you should go with the Doctor”. Why not “stay behind” or “go with the Doctor”? It feels like those two choices are actually just two versions of the same choice.

I’m going to be unsure; that sounds like me at that age!

Yeah and odd couple of choices (and I also checked the other one to see what happened and it was totally pointless).

I hope this one starts to give us a bit more variation as I love the idea of a Space Zoo.

The Time Crocodile - 51

Last choice: You’re not sure whether to go with the Doctor

The Doctor, Martha, and the narrator investigate a mysterious time distortion. While the Doctor prepares to explore, he assigns Martha to monitor the time distortion levels, warning her to act if it exceeds a critical threshold. Despite the danger, he remains curious and eager to investigate, inviting the narrator to step out first.

  • If you go out first, go to 67.
  • If you prefer to follow the Doctor, go to 81.

Since the forum is going to be busy with the new episode during the weekend, we will continue on Monday!

Is it? I’ll be busy over the weekend, but not with an episode I won’t get to see until Thursday. But good to know. Till then, I’ll be hovering in the TARDIS doorway.

I don’t think this book is going to kill us but I’m staying with the Doctor anyway!
