The Multiverse is F'd, Y'all; Wednesday, Second Period [12/06].

[somethingwithturquoise]

All the little tiny horses prancing around (which, let's face it, was absolutely one of Summer's favorites, because, I mean, come on!) had really sort of struck some inspiration for her for her class that day, but it took a little doing, because, even though she knew of some places that they could portal to to experience things first hand, blah blah blah Prime Directive, probably best leave it to the sim. So they were meeting in the danger shop that day, it would appear as though either they had been shrunk down into tiny little versions of themselves, or the world around them had expanded to significant size.

You know! Kind of like that one movie!

"Hey, guys!" Summer greeted. "And welcome to a world where people are very, very small and everything else is very, very big! I figured it would be interesting to get in the perspective of what these tiny horses all around today might be feeling, but, like, even more so, because if there's one thing this class should be teaching you, it's that the multiverse is vast, and so while most things seem to be designed for humanoid sized things, other places definitely aren't. And since I've got some trauma tied into being bigger than everything else, I figured this was the safer route to go.

"So today we're just going to exist and explore and experience a world that's clearly not designed for us, and figure out how to navigate it as best we can and hopefully got get attacked by giant bees or bitten by...."

She almost said giant spiders, but stopped, remembering Jon, "snaaaakes? Or getting trapped under a leaf that's, like, big enough to be a tent for you. Have fun! Let me know if you have questions or want to make this seem like an actual class by having a discussion about it!"

Rube Goldberg and You, Wednesday, December 6

[meepmeepmeep]

Did the adorable tiny horses ask to be hooked to adorable tiny sleighs to go through an adorable Christmas village? Probably not! But they were being very good sports about going through the obstacle course Beaker had set up for the class.

You were all welcome to add to the village with the moddable equipment Beaker had left out!

No explosives today due to said tiny horses. No one wanted to blow up the whimsy.

The History of Assassination. Wednesday, First Period [12/6]

[atreideslioness]

Students might notice as they came in that Trebor's pack-and-play had expanded slightly in size this week -- from the 'my baby is a potato and I need a safe place to set him down' to 'he will not stop crawling and I need a Space' -- now situated (mostly) behind her desk and filled with soft blocks. Mostly in the vain hopes that he wouldn't be too distracting to the rest of the class.

"Last week, we talked about the Russian government's love affair with assassination, and their more distinctive chosen methods," Ghanima said cheerfully once the class had arrived, unwinding her son's grip on her hair and placing him in the playpen despite his squeal of disapproval. "Today, we're going to look at the other side of the coin, and the United States of America."

( Hey, pal- I mean you- yeah. C'mere and kill a president. No job? Cupboard bare? one room, no one there? Hey, pal, don't despair- You wanna shoot a president? c'mon and shoot a president... Some guys Think they can be winners. First prize often goes to rank beginners... )

"This planet really is amazing sometimes."
