Surviving Deep Space - Thursday, Period Two - 7/23

[uptheziggurat.livejournal.com]

Rimmer looked unpleasantly cheerful this morning as the students came in to sit at their desks.

"Well, class, today it seems we'll be doing a theoretical lesson concerning a creature called a 'polymorph'. Other forms, such as the 'emohawk' used by the Kinitawowi, can be quite troublesome as well, but there's really nothing like a wild polymorph.

"They can appear to be anything, from a rubber ball to a screaming hellbeast from the sewers, but most importantly, they act to bring about an especially strong emotional response which they then feed off of and subsequently remove from the victim until the polymorph is destroyed.

"So today, we will be cataloging our strongest, most vulnerable emotions and how we might be able to cope without them."

...worry, he's still smirking.

Karla was slowly sinking into her chair. This was so. Not. Good. Mother night, why this assignment today?! While she wasn't a Wiggin, she was certainly smart enough to figure out what Rimmer was smirking at.

Idly, she wondered if she could smack him. Not whether it was permissible, but actually possible.

She just should have skipped class like she'd thought about doing earlier.
