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.

Your observations on # 4 are very intriguing. It is a good start for looking for it's vocal chords.

Taking his head is a very touchy subject. Most of the reason this hasn't been tested is that he will then try to take your head in return for his.

"Oh...right, sir" Kiki gulps, her hand going to her throat. "Maybe that isn't the best idea, then. But that brings up another question. If there are no eyes and ears on the body, how can the head direct the body to try to take my head, sir? Won't the body just sort of flail around?"
