Intergalactic Justice, Tuesday Period One

"Today, we're going to be talking about..."

Jim had his hands full of notes, and he was staring at them in a desperate attempt to find out which one to use. After some flipping (and several notes floating down to the ground in the process), he finally found what he was looking for. "...Art-ee-facts! Also known as worldy... stuff." He gestured at the table he was standing next to-- it held a book, a snowglobe, an egg beater, a roll of Word of the Day toilet paper, a fish in a plastic goldfish bowl and what appeared to be a plush doll with a speech mechanism inside. "Stuff," he continued, doggedly, "Is really really really important if you want to be saving the universe from smaller or greater peril.

"For instance, you never know when you're going to wind up in some kind of underseas mutant fishing problem and if you do, it's really handy to carry a lot of kitchen utensils with you, although obviously you can't keep all of them in your pockets. However," he said, seriously, "The most important part of stuff is when you haven't got any and you desperately need some, like when the universe is threatening to be exploded by a mad cat genius, or someone left your underwear on the wire."

He made a few more bold gestures at the objects on the table, which all seemed to produce some kind of deep, ethereal glow. "This is just a small selection of stuff, but it is a very important one. I want you all to pick the one that looks most important to you, and tell me what you think it might be important for." He grinned. "See this as a great exercise for warming up the great stolid depths of your pristine little imaginations, kids!"

Gwen pointed at the snowglobe. "Alien trade goods. If you happened to be running into any aliens."

"I'll be sure to remember that," Gwen said, without a trace of sarcasm for once.
