Conspiracy Theories - Period 2, Wednesday
"Since last week's student 'lecture'--" Washington sighed and gave Lottie such a look for it. "--had aliens in it, today we're going to cover the conspiracy around Area 51."
Mostly so the teacher could laugh at how quaint and adorable people in the past were about aliens.
"The location of this military facility is northwest of Las Vegas at the sight of Lake Groom. Which is the actual name of it, chosen because the lake dried up, leaving a level surface that was perfect as a landing field for the experimental aircrafts that were being used there." Wash took that time to pass out notes about the facility if anyone was interested in them. Or if they wanted to make a paper airplane while he gave them disappointed looks. "The theory is that the experimental aircrafts are actually UFO's that crashed in the area. Or retroengineered crafts based off crashed UFO's. Or maybe just weird alien experiments going on there. Several people have claimed to have worked there and say aliens were there. Which sounds ridiculous unless these aliens were unsanctioned by their own governments and the crash left them completely without the ability to call for help. Because a race capable of intergalactic flight is probably going to be more advanced than a few guys with guns who are still awed by the microwave."
Tell us how you really feel, Wash.
He cleared his throat. "After the discussion of that, Anders will be giving his presentation. There are still open spots for anyone interested."

Student Presentation - Anders
Re: Student Presentation - Anders
(Somewhere, Cassandra groaned and didn't know why.)
"The deck's stacked against us. Children are told stories where mages are the villain. At Chantry services, we hear that mage greed is the thing that tore us away from our Maker. And then if we show powers, we're locked up for the rest of our lives in the Circle of Magi. It's horrifically unfair.
"My theory is that the people in charge are jealous of mages. They can't take or control our power, so they make it sound as threatening as they can. It makes people hate us, and guarantees we'll never be able to do anything important with our lives that doesn't fit into the Circle's limitations. But if you say that, people think you're some power-hungry mage, and that makes them even more afraid. It's perfect, really."
The monologue was enough to get him out of his bad mood; his eyes shone as he finished speaking.
"Any questions?"
