Ye Shall Be As Gods? – Class 9, Period 3

On the walls today were several blown up pictures of Gnosis. Juli was mildly irritated with the pictures, they weren’t the quality she was used to working with, but really it was the best she’d been able to do.

Getting her computer which, like her, had come from the far future, to work at all with a printer from the current period of time had been a battle and a half. It would do. She eyed her class, counting heads, and waiting for as many of them to be seated as were showing up today. At least, and here she was mildly amused, there were no sparkle-balls in her class this week.

“We’ll be talking about monsters today,” Juli said, “the pictures on the walls are monsters from my home universe. We called them Gnosis. Their chemical composition is that of mere table salt and water—and their touch is enough to turn a human to salt. In very rare cases though, for whatever reason, a human who is touched by a Gnosis is turned not to salt but into a Gnosis themselves. They are not natural. They were drawn into my home universe by a madman.” Joachim Mizrahi.

Her husband. Juli’s eyes narrowed slightly but that was all the reaction that showed.

She clasped her hands together in front of her. “We have discussed genetic mutation before, but in this case I am not interested in those mutations that have been used for good. Monsters, by very definition, are destructive.”

“What monsters are there in your worlds? Why would you consider them to be monsters? What, in your experience, would you figure is the reason anyone would create monsters? These are your questions for today. Group up, however you will, and go over them, please.”

[Wait for the OCD is up! Yay!]

Bridge could rattle of a list of answers to any one of those questions. He looks around for someone to pair up with.

Naminé nodded to Bridge. "Very well," she said. "Tell me about monsters."

"Um, what kind, exactly?" Bridge says. "I mean, there's several different ways they can be made, for starters."

Naminé shrugged. "I suppose the Heartless count as monsters. They rip out your heart and make you into one of them. Very efficient way of reproducing. That seems to cover my world." She shook her head quickly. "My apologies. I'm not myself today."

Bridge winces. "That sounds pretty monster-like, I guess," he admits. "Um. In my world, there's monsters made of clay, or robots, or, like, inanimate objects brought to life. For example."

"How does one bring inanimate objects to life?" Naminé asked. "Magic? Science? Some hybrid inbetween?"

"Magic, mostly," Bridge confirms. "That was..." he glances around the question. "Uh, there was one evil alien guy in particular, that was his favourite way of making monsters. He'd just zap things with his staff and poof! Monster."

Naminé shuddered. "That sounds particularly unpleasant. What was his goal in creating them?"

"World conquest, pretty much," Bridge says. "That a lot of buildings got destroyed when the monsters grew giant-sized was just a bonus, from his point of view. Not so much, from ours," he makes a face.
