fandomhigh | Canada Is Not That Strange And Other Biases | Wednesday

Fraser back in the classroom today, looking relaxed and refreshed after the holiday break. He smiled and nodded as the students filed in.

"Welcome back. I hope everyone had a good holiday. Today, we're going to talk about something a little close to home. I'm sure all of us have been new to the island at one point or another. And I'm sure all of us have heard different stories and legends from people who might have been here longer than you. So, my question for today is what's the strangest thing you've heard that's turned out to be false? Did someone tell you the ocean burped chocolate? Did someone tell you one of the teachers was a three headed hydra?"

That one, Fraser admitted, could be true one day.

"Conversely, what's the strangest thing you've been told that's turned out to be true? In talking about things like this, we can see firsthand how urban legends begin. They might take root in a small fact but grow when people embellish the fact to make it seem like it something more than it is. Let's discuss."

"Oh," Fraser said, eyes widening. "That's...an interesting story, isn't it? I thought perhaps it just made them act a little more obnoxious than usual. Apparently not."

She flushed more deeply as she sank just a little further into her seat.

"I c-could be wrong," she supposed, wishing she could die. "But that's what I heard."

"Thank you," Fraser said, noticing her embarrassment and bypassing any further questions. "I appreciate your contribution to the discussion."

Her smile was tiny, but grateful, as she bobbed her head in response.

"Umm, you're not wrong," Karla said, also flushing. "Glitter works. I've seen it."

Granted, she'd seen it working on females at one of her slumber parties, but she'd seen it.

Hinata's flush was never going to die at this rate.

"It d-does?"

How traumatizing!

Karla nodded, paying Very Close Attention to her notebook. "I can't remember off-hand if I've seen it work on males, though I know it did once on females. Though I was told that was a special case, and most of the time it's just the males."

Hinata's eyes widened further.

"It can work on girls as well?"

Well, that was... something she'd have been happy to not know...

"Only once that I know of?" Karla said, trying to be reassuring. "There was a party and some glitter got into the heating ducts..."

Notice how she didn't mention whose party or how the glitter got in there.

"But everyone I talked to said that was the first time. And it hasn't happened since."
