Culture Shock, Thursday, 6/18, Period 2

[shiroi_tiger]

Algren had left a handwavey note for his class to meet him out my the main campfire again. No particular reason, really. He just liked the fresh air. And possibly watching kids suffer in cloudy, sometimes soggy weather.

"In the last few classes," he said, pulling up a stump and having a seat, "we've covered the stages of culture shock, and we've discussed how they pertain to life here on Fandom Island. Today, we're going to focus less on the 'shock,' and more on the 'Fandom,' because you never know when it's going to strike."

He nodded down to a bowl he had placed nearby.

"In this bowl, there are some scraps of paper. On those scraps are written a few different afflictions that this place might hit you with at some point during your stay here. Pull out one, read it, keep it a secret. And then mingle with the rest of your class, acting out your unfortunate symptom. As your classmates guess what the matter is, you'll find yourself transformed back to normal. When that happens, take a cookie and get out of my hair."

Yes, he'd stopped by J,GoB on his way to work today and picked up some moddable cookies. Just so that he could excuse chasing the wee children away early. It was a lazy sort of day.

[Please wait for OCD! Class is up! Enjoy!]

Weirdly!

The Lecture [06/18]

[shiroi_tiger]

Listen to the lecture, swat at mosquitoes, take refuge from the random bouts of rain that Algren doesn't seem to care about because he's a cold, heartless jerk sometimes.

And he is ever-amused at your misfortune.

The Activity [06/18]

[shiroi_tiger]

Pull a misfortune out of the bowl! Act it out among your classmates, who are also similarly afflicted! There are duplicates of some of these, so feel free to take one that someone else has grabbed already. Why not?

Gremlin Bitten and you think you're a rockstar
Transformed into a monkey
Recently abducted by squirrels
You're now one-foot tall!
Sudden amnesia
Gender-swapped!
You've become your own evil twin
Everybody else in the class is now a zombie
You can't stop singing everything you want to say
You're being followed by a weetiny herd of tapdancing cows
Your clothing keeps vanishing. (Please refrain from removing actual clothing.)
Everything you say is a lie.
Second childhood! You're now five. Enjoy.
You weren't expecting parenthood quite this early. Your classmates are all five.

And then take a cookie and get out of the rain.

Talk to The TA [06/18]

The teacher was nice enough to leave an umbrella for her, at least.

Talk to Algren [06/18]

Complain about the weather. Go ahead. He'll shove another cookie at you and tell you to suck it up.

I have a day off.

It is a lazy day off.

But I am here, woo!
