Coping With Change, Friday, Period 3
This week, students showing up for Jono's class would be treated to not one, but two teachers! Neither of whom probably looked quite how they were expected to look, but what in the world were you going to do about that, with the island as… Fandom… as it was being, these days?
//So,// Jono began, clad in all black as usual, though his head appeared to be not there, replaced with fire, held in by a metal helmet. Which he figured was status quo, thank you very much, though he supposed everyone else's opinions were going to vary. //I've been informed that the class I'm teaching you today isn't, in fact, the one I remember teaching you lot for the past few months now. Lord only knows why I'd choose to teach a class on coping with anything, but at least I've picked up somebody a little more well-versed in change to assist.//
It was amazing how he could give Cecil a side-eye, without benefit of having, you know, eyes.
Cecil just snickered. "You cope just fine!" he assured Jono. He grinned back at him, a couple of his tentacles going to pat him on the back. "But really, change is life, right? I mean, we pretty much all change all the time; there's no point in fighting it."
//Ah, but fighting, I can do,// Jono sighed. //I have a perfectly good syllabus for that already figured out. Much as I'd like pitting you lot against a pack of Danger Shop Sentinels or something, however, I suppose we ought to focus on what you're actually here for. Considering the state of the island these days, I figure we've all got a bit of it to wrap our heads around.//
"Well, so to speak," Cecil amended, with a sheepish grin at Jono.
He was met with another particularly impressive side-eye. This one might have involved a few sparks.
//… I'd place bets there are at least a few of you in here who've been informed that you're… getting yourself wrong, somehow. Cecil and I are likely rather obvious at a glance, from what I've heard. A few of you seem to be, as well.//
Cecil gave him a blank look. "Obvious about what?"
//… Well, apparently I'm obvious. Cecil here could very well have aged a decade or so and sprouted tentacles overnight, granted.// And really, knowing how special the X-gene tended to be, Jono probably could, too. He wasn't going to think about that. //Either way, something unusual seems to be going on.//
Cecil rolled his eyes. All three of them. "I've had these since I hit puberty; they're hardly new. And I'm...well, mostly aging at the same rate as always, odd weekends and such notwithstanding, and -"
//-- And I've been wearing this thing,// Jono rapped two knuckles against the side of his helmet, making a hollow, metallic echo, //for the past decade, now, but there are people here who insist that I've only been for a week or two. And others who have informed me that at some point in my life or other, I was blue. Something is amiss around here. Changes are happening where they probably aren't meant to be. Discuss.//
