Hubris from Revelation: the Social Engineering of Ultimate Truths [Monday, Period 2]

[atreideslioness]

Ghanima had had a sense of tingling unease all weekend, like something was scratching behind her eyes, wanting to be seen. A tingling she had pointedly ignored, which had only served to make it so bad, she had taken to bed and not gotten any of the prep for today's class finished.

She wanted no part of the prescience of her brother or father, thank you.

"We're watching a movie today," she said as everyone came in. "There's a handout right over there, and we'll actually discuss Hinduism as a religion next week."

[OCD up!]

As short as it is...

Watch the Movie

[atreideslioness]

The Danger Shop has been set up with big fluffy pillows, piles of blankets, moddable snacks on a table by the wall, and a big screen at front with the movie. Settle in, get comfy, and feel free to chat with a friend while you watch the movie.

Raven settled in to watch the movie with a cup of tea and a plate of cheese and crackers and grapes. Vegetables still made her a teeny bit nervous.

Tahiri helped herself to some crackers and an apple, then found a spot off to the side, snagged a couple of pillows, and curled up under a blanket. She wasn't going to object to a movie day at all.

Jonas was almost grateful that his brain got a small break during this class. It wasn't that he didn't like learning but he'd learned so much that having a small rest would do him good.

He settled on a pillow to watch the movie, prepared to not understand a thing.

Jack curled into a pile of pillows and prepared to enjoy the movie. It wasn't bad -- though some part of him was annoyed he'd taken the early train back from Baltimore just for a movie day.

Raven glanced over at Fandom's reigning Ms. Multiple Personality. "Hello, Tahiri," she said. "How have you been?"

Re: Watch the Movie

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri gave her a crooked little smile. "I'm all right," she said noncommittally. "Just busy."

Re: Watch the Movie

[trigons_child]

Raven nodded. "As have I," she said. Busy was a good code word, yes.

Ben had a pile of snacks on a plate in front of him and he flopped onto a pillow not to far from where Tahiri was.

Not that he was overly worried about her. Really.

Re: Watch the Movie

[weetuskenraider]

It was a useful code word, that in this case happened to mean as much AFK a whole lot 'hiding' as much as anything else. Tahiri shrugged one shoulder, rearranged her pillows a little, and asked, "Quiet weekend?"

Ender sat on one of the pillows, looking engrossed in the movie, but being anything but. After fifteen minutes or so the format had become clear. He picked it up easily as it went along, but his attention was quickly drifting away to themes and bigger things.
