"Oh, right, the event." It's the first time he's heard it called the Famine, that's all, though it does make sense. "Events happen around here, which I'm sure you know, but it's always different, every time." And no, he can't keep the excitement from sounding in his voice, not that he'd really want to. It's just part of the machinations of this event: making him so very hungry for adventure, and even viewing even something like this as exciting.

Life in Wonderland is a bit surreal, but the Doctor's seen so many things in his travels that it's a bit easy to take things in stride, including the weirdness of the events and also reactions to his, well, rather different way of viewing things that he gets from others. "'Course I have. Well, I think I have, anyway."

He shrugs, not really bothered by anything that's going on. "I just feel like there's so much to do and see around here, and I want to do it all, if I can. And thing is, I know I can. Do it all, that is." The perks of not needing a lot of food and rest, or something along those lines.

He's been running all over the mansion at all hours of the day and night and not really showing any signs of flagging.
