Getting to Know Your Own Backyard | Monday, Period 2

"Last class," Kanan mused as he ushered the students into the cockpit of the ship, "and there's one more planet to go. That worked out pretty well."

Poor Pluto, relegated to 'dwarf planet' status, like a chump.

That just meant it was in good company. With others like Xena.( Cut for nattering length and racism against Hutts. )

"Today we're going to work on boiling water and not setting the place on fire," Steve began.

"That seriously only happened once," Tony muttered under his breath. "Instant ramen is a way that many college students survive. And starving artists. It's all salt and carbs. It's one of the easiest things to make according to some."

Which was debatable.

"I once watched Thor eat it raw out of the package," Steve said. "Don't be Thor."

But sometimes that was good! Like the blamdest chips in the world.

"Simple instructions," Tony said. "Boil water. Put the noodles in. Add the flavoring. Easy, right?"

"Do you drain the water first?" Steve asked.Steve was possibly overthinking ramen.

"What? No." This is what happened when JARVIS refused to stock the apartment with instant ramen to keep Tony from getting scurvy. "It's like a soup. A noodle filled soup."

"I was just asking for the students," Steve said, not entirely genuinely.

Tony hummed like he believed that. "So, we have some different flavors and some pots of water to try this out. If you get good, maybe try adding some vegetables."

Because you shouldn't subside on plain ramen, kids.

Sciencing Things All Sciencily, Monday

[whatisclocks]

"We talked 'bout waves last week so I thought we should go out and find some," said Philomena.

While standing in the water just off Selkie Cove, said (very tiny) waves lapping liberally over the edges of her khakis. "Waves happen 'cos of this sci-fi thing with the moon," she said. "It's so sci-fi, they named the process after that thing Jay-Z did with the music streaming, except it costs less 'cos it's nature."

She let that one sink in for a moment.

"Anyway Tidal causes the water to go up half of the time and down the other half of the time. It's like the moon's way of fuckin' with us, like your best friend hidin' your keys all the time. You turn 'round and it's just-- gone."

She paused and looked over her shoulder, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.

"...It might be gone now," she said. "Or it might be here, just layin' in wait, waiting for the right time to go up in smoke to the moon and such." Beat. "So that's our project for today. We'll be watchin' this sneaky fucker and seein' if it goes anywhere, or if it's already gone and it's preparing to get back."

She trodded through the water with big, sloshy steps, turned around as soon as she got to the beach, and just... stood there.

So... ... ... you weren't getting an exam, kids.

Just a beach day.

Enjoy.
