There is a distinct lack of Twinkies at the front of the classroom today. Instead, there are Twinkies strategically placed around the room in areas that are open, visible and would be easy to expose a would be Twinkie thief.

"Professor Ted's still out and we're still talking about music of the Uncharted Territories today. It's almost had to have discussion on this type of music since we really don't know what's out there and what different sounds we might hear. It could be the same, it could be different, it could be damaging to our ears, it could be beyond our comprehension, and it could really stink."

Today's Assignment: Keeping with our last assignment about describing ourselves to natives who don't know us or our music, today's assignment is to tell the class what musicians or pieces of music do you think natives that have never been exposed to your music before would react best towards? What about the musicians or pieces of music that would garner the most negative reactions?"

"Also, if you haven't already, please turn in your homework from last class period."

"And if any of you happen to see the Twinkie stealer, let me know."

"Not everyone likes the Beatles. Professor Skeeter went downright weird on me when I asked her if the Beatles were more her style," Cameron said.

"Really? Isn't she, like, old and English?" Angela shrugged. "Maybe she liked the Rolling Stones instead."

"She's very old and very English," John says. "I think she might look boy bands or something."

"She said she doesn't know moogle music or something," Cameron shrugged. "She didn't even know who David Bowie or Elton John are."

"Moogle music? Like, with synthesizers?," Angela said. "Weird."

"Actually, she said it meant non-magical." Cameron frowned. "It didn't make much sense."

"Oh yeah, she used that word with me once, too," Angela said, frowning. "I think it's nasty."

"Why?"

Re: Today's Assignment!

[chasingangela]

"Her tone. It sounded like it was a really rude word for people who can't use magic. Like, almost a racist thing."

"Really?" Cameron hadn't noticed that. "She's kinda weird."

"And rude," Angela agreed, making a face. "I don't know, I only met her once. I might be wrong."
