Introduction to Earth Zoology, Wednesday, period 1

[livingartifact]

"Welcome back, students," Jenkins greeted at the top of the class. The projector screen had been hung again, and an old reel-to-reel film projector was set out in the center of the table, behind the slide projector. "I hope you all had interesting weekends, whether or not you had any guests to visit. I certainly found my meetings with your varied friends and family quite enlightening.

"This is, I believe, our last class before the autumn break. The school is sponsoring a skiing trip during the break, so I thought it might be interesting to take a look at a creature native to snowy, mountainous regions — though I shouldn't think you'll be so unlucky as to encounter them in the Austrian Alps. If you should meet with one — and survive — I would be very much obliged if you could collect a sample or two. . . . I suppose I am getting ahead of myself. Our topic of the week is the Norwegian troll."

( TROLL! )

Artifact Restoration, Tuesday 2nd Period

Well, the Danger Shop wasn't a games room today? Instead it was an extremely fancy looking archive, an extremely large, extremely fancy looking archive. It was all very impressive, even with the Danger Shop version having less automated defences and more handrails.

"So we've covered some of the easier ways to get hold of various parts you might need, but sometimes you need specialised or unique parts, which means going shopping!" Or other words beginning with s. "Now sometimes you luck out with having places like this which like to collect all sorts of special and unique gadgets, but the down side of that is they tend to have lots of the stuff. So today you're going to learn about the importance of cataloguing systems by using this archive's to find various items they have stashed away here."

That was a very fancy way of saying scavenger hunt, Aphra.

Library, Wednesday

Peridot had some very important studying to do today in the library. See, her zoology class had covered a fascinating Earth species this week that apparently turned to stone when exposed to sunlight, which was a property that Peridot had never observed in Earth fauna before. Peridot wanted - nay, needed - to investigate further.

Unfortunately, the school's janitor was in the library doing some general janitorial work. Emptying the wastebins, running the vacuum, wiping coffee stains from the tables, and, once he noticed what it was Peridot was researching, attempting to get the little Gem's attention.

"Not now, Fosse. Can't you see I'm trying to find out how to meet a troll?"

Poor Fosse.
