Creative Inspirations | Monday, period one

The class had been hand-wavily instructed to wear simple clothes they didn't mind getting soiled, and to leave an extra set in the classroom. If any of the students were worried about this...well, they could probably take a cue from Hannibal, who was in jeans and a t-shirt today. (Metallica. What? He didn't have many of his own.)

Jono, who was in a black-jeans-and-plain-black-t-shirt combo, would miss that shirt. Ish. Dearly. Ish.

//Right, so this week we'll be making a trip to Korea, in July, to take in the Boryeong Mud Festival. Which... is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.//

And he sounded maybe a little too delighted about this. So sue him.

Hannibal was already having flashbacks to Woodstock, but at least this time the point was to be muddy, rather than it being an unpleasant side effect.

And admit it, Jono; seeing Hannibal in that shirt was worth it.

"There are a number of mud-related activities, from bathing and wrestling to giant slides using it. There are also colored muds for body-painting. There is a beach nearby if you prefer not to get muddy, but in that case, be certain to stay well away from the festival - anyone caught within it not muddy will be imprisoned until they are."

//It's a mud prison,// Jono explained. //It's all meant in good fun. You're not actually going to jail.//

He had to glance at Hannibal just to make sure, though.

Hannibal shrugged. "You'll simply be placed in a large cage with other non-muddy people and blasted with a wave of mud until you do become muddy. Or until we leave. So - the beach, or the festival. Unless that mud prison sounds like your sort of thing." He wasn't judging.

"They're quite used to tourists, and there are a good number of Western military bases around, so language shouldn't be a problem. Please let one of us know if you need anything, though. Agreed?"

And with that, their portal arrived.

She was in good company as far as not usually dressing this way. Hannibal smiled at her as they headed back. "You enjoyed yourself, mademoiselle?"

"Oh yes," Cosette said, laughing and wiping some mud away from her mouth before she accidentally ingested it. "It's terribly undignified and childish and I loved every minute of it."

Hannibal offered her a towel from his bag. "That's good to hear. We don't often do anything so messy, but this seemed a refreshing change."

"Very much so. It's nice that adults can play and not be scolded for acting like children, sometimes." Cosette might have had some strong feelings on the subject given all the playing she'd had to catch up on. "I think perhaps life might be more pleasant if they felt they were allowed more often."

"It might indeed," Hannibal agreed. "I'm a firm believer in having fun." Even if his idea of fun wasn't everyone's.
