Intergalactic Justice, Tuesday Period One

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

There were a lot of glass spheres at the front of the class. And paper. And pitchers of something watery. And toothpicks. And--

"Today," Jim said, with fiendish determination, "We are going to be talking about the universe. It's really, really big. It's so big you can't see stuff on the other end. You could say we can't tell what it looks like, buuuut that'd be wrong."

He held up a snowglobe. It had the Eiffel Tower and a little plastic cow in it. "This is what the universe looks like!" He grinned. Like an idiot. "We're all living in a giant snowglobe, kids! Now remember that snowglobes aren't indestructable, no matter what the nice made in China people put on the label. You wanna make sure," he tapped the edge of the globe. A little hard. "That it doesn't break. Because that would be bad."

He pointed at the tables. "So today, we are learning about snowglobes!" He was very enthusiastic. "Have at, you wee cow-clobbering, snow-loving defenders of the cosmos! Make your snowglobe SHINE!" Pause. "But don't use anything radioactive, that might violate my parole."

Did he even have parole? He'd have to call Peter.

Listen to the Lecture

It's... big!

Gwen was rapidly growing increasingly concerned about this teacher.

Turtle's head tilted. The universe. As a snowglobe. It would have to be a rather large snowglobe, wouldn't it? And, if you were in a tropical part of the universe, could you really even still call it a snowglobe? Maybe a sunglobe. Or a coconut globe...


Turtle shook her head, breaking the reverie, wondering if that whole thing that happened there meant she'd been spending way too much time with Jeff.

Ino stared at the teacher, so not in the mood for this today, and wishing that they were shooting cows instead. Seriously. Mindless violence was way better than snowglobes.

Lion-o was just confused.

Sam had certainly heard stranger explanations for the universe, but that didn't mean the snowball thing wasn't strange.

Marco blinked and tried to figure out how he can make this even more insane.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Well, the universe-as-snowglobe metaphor made sense to Sokka, but as for the rest of it... Jim was more insane than Deadpool, that was for sure.


He raised his hand. "So, can you teach us how to use our little snowglobes to protect the BIG snowglobe of the universe?"

Lee knew the universe was big but he'd never get the snowglobe thing out of his head now.

It had never occurred to Alice that the universe would be snowglobe-shaped.

This class was terribly educational.

Make Snowglobes

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

Build a little scene, put a globe over it, fill it with water!

We're sure Jim knows what he's doing enough to maintain proper safety procedures. Kind of sure.

Re: Make Snowglobes

Gwen's scene involved a wee pterodactyl attacking what looked like a woman in some sort of metal armour-cum-bikini. It was probably best not to ask.

Re: Make Snowglobes

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle's scene, for the most part, appeared to be a bit of a cityscape. If you looked closely at the tallest building, you'd notice that it was marked as 'Wexler Tower.'

Gladys didn't know what to make. She simply stood there for some time, the glow in her eyes banked, before finally selecting a base and stopping again.

Eventually, she constructed a forest, simple trees and nothing else. Just before she put the globe over it, she added a small plastic cow.

If asked, she'd have no idea why, except the teacher seemed to like them.

Alex's little scene involved a giant robot fighting a giant mutant in front of skyscrapers.

Re: Make Snowglobes

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter made one with lots of skyscrapers. Hey, it reminded him of home.

Re: Make Snowglobes

Lion-o tried to make a small replica of the Cat's Lair to go inside his snow globe. It was sort of recognizable, if you understood that the building was supposed to look like a giant cat's head.

As requested, her snowglobe had pyramids in it. And flowers, because she felt like it. No, it didn't matter much to her that the pyramids were normally in the middle of the desert. Flowers made it nicer.

Or something.

Sam's scene had lots of trees, and a road, and a little black car. He figured he should stick with what he knew, after all.

Re: Make Snowglobes

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco stuck toothpicks in random order. If asked, he'd claim it was modern art.

Re: Make Snowglobes

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

Lee sat down and stared at his snowglobe equipment. He was not at all crafty. Eventually, he made a little scene of Vipers and Raptors and one bigger ship.

Talk to Jim

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

He might be cooing terms of endearment at his snowglobe. Might.

Re: Talk to Jim

[intraspective]

"I missed class last week," she said flatly, ignoring any cooing at snowglobes. "What kind of trouble am I in?"

Quite possibly the tackiest of all souvenirs everywhere. And trust me, I know souvenirs.
