"So... glitter monster," Kanan said, looking faintly amused as he addressed the class. "I've seen a lot of things in my lifetime, but that's a new one to me. Hell, the animal life in general around here is a new one to me. Those big alot things, the little bitey gremlin guys. Moose. And I'm pretty sure I haven't seen a single reptavian since coming here. Except on Endor, I guess."

But Endor didn't count.

"The cats here are pretty weird, too," Cecil offered. "No tentacles, and such small voices! Even if you were so cute!" he squeed at Kanan.

"Hey, now. I wasn't a cat from here," Kanan replied. "The cats here have really small mouths."

Like, really small. They probably couldn't even fit a whole human hand in there.

"Yeah, right?" Cecil shook his head. "So weird! So," he turned to the class, "what's weird about the animals here to you? What's good and what's bad? I mean, I never would have found a sweet bird like Foucault back home," he scritched the bird's head, "but yeah, the cats? Super weird."

"Though I really can't complain about the size of the insectoid life here," Kanan mused, as an afterthought. "Does Earth have anything with more than four legs that comes even halfway up to your knees?"

Thank you for that aside, Kanan. Now maybe the class could get on with the conversation.

"Oh, sure!" Cecil said. "Though I don't think I've seen any here. But there are some really big spiders and things." Or Cecil could help you derail it.

"Anyway, we probably could have gone on a nature walk or something today to let you all take in the local wildlife, but apparently alots are moody things, so we're going to just talk about the animals on the island, and then... I don't know. Play fetch with Cecil's bird."

Foucault perked up at the word "fetch" and bobbed his head a bit. Cecil grinned at him. "So, what animals have you all met, and how do they compare?"

With the local fauna!

Khadgar

Ahsoka Tano

Kuzco

In which two grown men babble mostly nonsense about wildlife.

Have you had any experiences with Fandom's alots? How about the furry fish? Have you been waved at by the giant squid recently? Or run afoul of the gremlins? Those are the most interesting ones to talk about, really. Are they anything like the creatures you're used to at home? Have you picked up any safety tips for dealing with Fandom's wildlife?

Or do you just want to throw a ball for Foucault?

"I... have encountered students who have turned into animals?" Khadgar said uncertainly. If his expression suggested that he was afraid to go into the preserve now... well, yes, he was.

Cecil perked up. "Anything fun?"

"We are totally missing the point of the dance," Kuzco sniffed. "Which is that I wasn't elected Homecoming King. I'm already an emperor. I have a crown. What is wrong with everyone?"

"I'm pretty sure that wasn't the point of the dance," Cecil said. "Homecoming's all about who's most popular, or prettiest, or best able to face off against the lurking powers of darkness."

When they tag in!

Cecil is here, along with Foucault, who's really hoping someone will throw something for him to fetch.

Kanan is here, but he left Stance at home today. Not because he didn't think the dog wanted to play fetch. Not even because he was actually from someplace else. But entirely because he was a big softie who didn't want to wake the puppy up that morning, since he'd been so damn cute all curled up and sleeping.

Shut up.

I got nothing. It's early.
