Today's junk food of choice is milk and cookies. There are cookies of all shapes and sizes.

"Welcome to class, dudes. It's Friday afternoon and I know you dudes would rather be going and doing stuff that's all not-class-like, so today's class is gonna be short.

The dudes on the Rim usually don't have much money and have to pack all of their stuff up and spend months in space, like, traveling to their new homes and stuff. And when they're there? It's kinda like waking up in Nevada in summer, only without the casinos and military bases. So there's not really much around to make instruments except wood, and even then it's hard to get a good sound. So they have to pack small instruments that can be fixed and stuff. But even though they only have a small amount of room to pack up in, they still take instruments so they can have music to get them through rough times.

Is that not most excellent of them?"

Discussion: "Say you're going to a new planet or country far, far away to live and you have to take a musical instrument with you to learn and play and have music. You don't have much room. What would you take?"

"That's kinda gay with the jingling," Cameron grimaced.

"It's the hippy associations that are the biggest problem," Cameron said.

Marty laughed. "Somehow I don't think anyone is going to associate you with being a hippie."

Cameron brushed a hand over his military coup hair and smirked. "Good to know. I'm still not playing the tambourine or the triangle."

"Very small snare drum?" Marty suggested.

"You mean like the ones they used to have on the battlefield?" Cameron asked. "That could work."

"And it would go along with that whole military vibe-thing you got going for you."

Cameron nodded. "Works."
