Fur, Feathers, and Scales: The Biology of Domestication, Thursday, Period 2

[puppy_fair]

Zack was totally giving that little, 'well hello to all of you how good to see you today!' grin that he was prone to giving to basically everyone in the world, because Zack, when he came into the classroom today, holding a baby goat in his arms.

Tip had mentioned that they were cute at some point, and today he just so happened to have one.

... He had no idea why anyone was keeping goats on the island in the first place, but it was terribly cute, even if it did keep trying to lean up to eat his hair.

"Hey, guys. Today's class is about goats!" Because why not? How often did a small town animal shelter get something like this in anyway? "Goats were another animal that were domesticated for meat, and for milk, fur, and skins. They are also," he set this particular goat down, and it took off at a prance across the room like nobody's business, "really bouncy."

It was the cutest thing, okay?

"So today we're going to play with the goat. Maybe set up something for it to climb on? They love climbing!"

This class was so educational, weren't you glad you were taking it?

So one of the teachers was an adorable woodland creature and the other was Magnus. Who was an adorable murder puppy sometimes, but that wasn't relevant to this.

"So, Cara is a chipmunk." And he thought that was adorable, but made talking to her difficult. "That means movie day! I tried to find a movie that worked with the class subject, but instead we're watching this kids' movie that I found."

For some reason it was now his jam.

"I brought candy too!" The stuff that Octavia didn't even up liking. "And a ton of cheerwine."

Miguel eyed the students when they showed up. Okay, they hadn't all done terribly last week. And he'd ended up with some sort-of-cute monkey-ponies to name after Iris. This week...they'd see.

“This week we’re doing something that’s mostly computer models,” he said, “so hopefully it won’t have quite as phenomenal a potential for disaster as genetics.” He spoke from experience. “Even if some of last week's were cool. This one’s from a movie, and we’re just going to watch the section where they build their code, not the whole thing.” He set it up and played the movie, his expression going from annoyed to confused to incredulous.

He flipped it off.

“Okay, that is not how computers work, even in this time.” He threw up his hands and used the Danger Shop console to call up a series of computer consoles, magazines, and dolls. “You want underwear on your head, you can call it up yourselves. The consoles are set up to work with the same sort of language as this room, so at least you won't have to program from scratch. Go for it; try to get a functional human - or heck, even an automaton - from those directions."
