Extraterrestrial Civilizations - Class 8 [3/7, Period 4]

[stargazer-ellie.livejournal.com]

Ellie was talking excitedly with the guest speaker for the day, a tall man with slanted eyebrows and pointed ears, when the class arrives. When she finally tore herself away, she may have been blushing just a little. "I'd like you to welcome Mr. Spock from the planet Vulcan," she told the class. "Please give him your attention." She certainly was.

Cameron was momentarily distracted by the ears. "Are you sure you're not an elf?"

Spock arched an eyebrow. "I am not an elf," he said. "I am an Vulcan."

"Sorry, it's just that elves in the movies have..." he pointed towards his ears. "But uh, a Vulcan's cool too."

"I am aware of the appearance of Elves," Spock said. "Dr. McCoy frequently uses the term to describe me. I fail to see the resemblance beyond the shape of our ears. I do not nance."

"I did not mean to imply that you do, sir. Does nancing fall under the whole emotions category?"

"I studied elves from Earth mythology when Dr. McCoy began to call me one," Spock said. "There were many references to frolicking. Vulcans do not engage in such displays of merriment and gaiety."

Cameron was going to take that as a no. "What kind of displays do Vulcans engage in? You must celebrate something.

"We do not celebrate," Spock said. "There are rituals Vulcans participate in, however, such as kolinahr. It is a process by which all remaining vestigial emotions are purged and the discipline whereby this is maintained."
