Inside Out -- Class 7, Period 2 [Tuesday]

Juli did not particularly approve of having food in class, but nonetheless, today there were various ~~moddable~~ snacks of varying degrees of healthiness and she, herself, was nibbling on a carrot stick. And drinking her coffee, of course.

Always with the coffee these days.

“Welcome to your class with me for this term,” she said, once everyone had gathered, “please, help yourself to the food, sit back, and each of you tell me one thing that you’ve learned this term--whether in my classroom or not—that had it’s origins in another world.”

She gestured to a student at random. “Begin.”

[~~Wait for the~~ OCD is up!]

One last time!

Help yourself to food! Then listen, chat, pass notes.

One thing you’ve learned while at Fandom that’s not something from your world.

Who is around.

Last class already? That's crazy-talk.

Giselle

Giselle thought for a moment then raised her hand. "I met some lovely little fellows! Their names were Pain and Panic."

"...and they were 'lovely'?" Juli had to ask, very dryly.

She paused. "Well. Yes. Poor little Pain didn't know how to tell his friend he loved him."

Friday Next

...

"Did you, I suppose, teach him to sing?" Even more dryly now.

"Greek gods are insane."

Juli was not going to laugh. No really. Alright, perhaps a small laugh.

"At least one of them," she agreed. "We can only hope that not all of them are like that. Do you think they are?"

Giselle clasped her hands together, so, so, so thrilled that Ms. Mizrahi understood. "Yes! I did! And we sent him flowers!"

It wasn't so much that she understood as that seven weeks of... Giselle... had taught Juli that singing was nearly always the answer.

Depressingly so.

"I'm sure he enjoyed the flowers," Juli said, fighting the urge to sigh. "Do you think he'll remember what you taught him?"

"I do hope so," Giselle said. "He was quite a nice little creature. I think he and his friend might have been treated badly though. I do hope they ended up somewhere happily. I never saw Panic again after he took me to that little room."

Jeff Murdock

"...and you still think they were nice?"

Hoshi Sato

"There are people who apparently don't like fish or fish sauce. That was a new one to me," said Hoshi. "In a way, it was a bit more shocking than finding out I had to use money."

Hoshi made sure to snag a cupcake for herself.

"Oh?" Juli tilted her head. "How was that more shocking?"

"Fish is a staple for us in Japan," said Hoshi. "I never would have considered that people found it disgusting until I saw people making faces at one of the dishes in my foodie workshop."

"Surely though, even in Japan, there are some people who do not like it?"

"If they had a grandmother like mine, they ate fish or went hungry," said Hoshi with a smirk.

"That does not, though, keep people from liking it or not. Eating something does not always mean you like it."

Juli noted that Hoshi had not actually answered her question.

"When I was little, my grandmother would serve me cold soba noodles. I hated them," said Hoshi. "I used to make up excuses like having a tummy ache so I could get out of eating them. Now soba noodles are one of my favorite things to eat. So there may be people at home who don't like fish, but it's so prevalent in the cuisine that eventually, they find something with fish that they like."

Juli considered that. "Do you think that your experience is indictative of everyone's experiences?"

"I think so," said Hoshi. "Most people are turned off by a strange ingredient, but if they don't know it's there, they'll give the food a try. I wouldn't have tried kishka if I knew how they made it."

Juli nodded. "...kishka?"

"It's a sausage that's very popular in Eastern Europe," explained Hoshi. "They make it with pig's blood and use pig intestines as the casing."

That earned a very faint expression of distaste. "I can see why you might've been hesitant if you'd known."

"It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't good either," said Hoshi. "I had enough to satisfy my hostess, and then I moved onto the cabbage rolls for the rest of the meal."

Teyla Emmagan

"Well, yes," Giselle said earnestly. "He did like to dance."

"And dancing," Juli was back to sounding very dry again, "is, of course, an indicator of nice."

She laughed softly. "I wonder how many students would have done the same."

Giselle looked up at Juli with big eyes. "You don't think so?"

"I think some perfectly horrible people can dance beautifully," Juli said, "so, I'm afraid we'll have to disagree."

Temari

"I've heard insanity runs in the family, so yes."
