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.

Cosette went for the clay today, having been put in the mood to build things after all that squishing about in the mud.

She ended up with a somewhat lopsided coil pot, and it would win no awards for craftsmanship, but it had been fun to make, all right?

Hannibal nodded to her. "Do you think this is a skill you'd enjoy learning, or was it merely a whim of the day?"

"Oh, I think I'd enjoy dabbling in it from time to time, but nothing very serious," Cosette said thoughtfully. "It just seemed like the right thing to do after all the mud, but I can see how it might be a soothing kind of activity."

"So no other art yet vies with music for your heart?" Hannibal teased, grinning.

"I'm afraid not," Cosette replied, although she looked vaguely repentant about it. "Oh, I haven't ruled out the possibility yet! We'll see if I've changed my mind by the end of the semester, shall we?"

"There is no deadline on creativity," Hannibal said. "Later this semester, or later in your life. Whatever moves you."
