Class 5: Lab

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

"I was delayed in catching this week's lab topic.



"This, class, is a Fiery. Be careful as you're studying him, he has a way of lighting things on fire. Also, do not under any circumstances agree to take off your head, or for that matter, touch his.

"Because he is a living and dangerous creature, you will have to rely primarily on observation. However, he is intelligent after a fashion and can speak, so you are free to talk to him.

"Here are the questions I would like you to ask yourselves today." Jareth hands out sheets of parchment to everyone.

1) Mammal, avian, or something else entirely?
2) What qualifies a creature as insane, if that is the way they all are? How are we to judge?
3) Why hasn't their whole forest habitat burnt down yet?
4) Are their musical numbers better than mine?
4) As it can remove its head, where, precisely, are its vocal chords?
5) Make your own hypothesis about the Fiery and test it to the best of your ability.

::Thinks that maybe the more important question is how it can still move without its brain attached. But then she'd once seen someone exploded into a pile of goo that could still talk. Decides she doesn't want to know and goes about the assignment::
