Artifact Restoration, Tuesday 2nd Period

[jedigrammarians]

It wasn't that Aphra was hungover and sleeping it off at the front of the class room, but, well, that was exactly what it was.

Probably best to make it a quiet day, kids.

Introduction to Earth Zoology, Wednesday, period 1

[livingartifact]

"Good morning, class," Jenkins greeted. "Welcome back. Those of you not familiar with American holiday traditions — which I believe is most, if not all of you — may not understand the cultural significance of today's animal, but seeing as we've not managed to cover any birds yet, I thought this week would be a perfect opportunity to tackle one of the larger species of that class: the turkey."

There was a rumble from behind the supply closet door, which rattled in its frame. Jenkins shot the door a concerned look, then turned back to the class. "Now, ah. Turkeys are —"

The supply closet door burst open, spilling forth a rafter* of four-foot-tall, bald-headed birds, all flapping their wings and gobbling aggressively.

"-- attacking," Jenkins finished. "The turkeys are attacking. Wild turkeys can be extremely aggressive. I highly suggest taking the high ground." He stepped with tremendous dignity onto a chair. "Though if anyone would care to try to get these turkeys out of my classroom, I would be eternally grateful. . . ."

Library, Wednesday

[era_two_triangle]

Peridot didn't want to be here today. The whole... thing... with everyone on the island being a child had freaked her out more than a little bit. It was bad enough she was on a race of short-lived organic beings that grew and changed and then withered away. To have them all regress that way was wreaking havoc on her head.

And then she'd been attacked by turkeys in class, and that about tore it.

So half of her shift was going to be spent distractedly doing actual library work.

The rest of her shift was going to be spent booking a portal ticket. Not for long, no; it was a return ticket, in fact. But there was a sale on tickets to her own version of Earth for Thanksgiving, and it couldn't hurt to be somewhere that made sense for a little while, right?

[OOC: 'Dot is goin' home for the holiday! Last chance to see her before she takes off for a bit!]
