Culture Shock: Adjusting to Life on the Weird Side | Tuesday, Period 2

[voiceoverdue]

Instead of meeting in the classroom today, the class was being redirected to the Danger Shop, which was set up today to resemble a farm. Complete with corn. A lot of corn.

... And apparently a few racing chickens. Kanan wasn't sure what their purpose was, but he hadn't tried terribly hard to program them out of this simulation, either. Presumably they added to the whole charm of the farm scenario. Kanan just shook his head a little at them before kicking into the lecture.

"Since last class we were talking about distractions, this week we figured we'd let you leap into one and get some hands-on experience," he said. "In a way that I'm assured is very... American?"

He was very not American, so he was rolling with it.

Cecil was eyeing the corn a bit dubiously. "It's really...visible." He shrugged. "But whatever. Apparently some places, that's a thing! But then they make paths in it and everything, and there's a maze! I think it's a metaphor for life or something."

"Corn as a metaphor for life," Kanan echoed, dubiously. "Why not? Anyway, there's the maze. Somewhere in the middle of the maze is pizza. Get past one, you get to dig in to the other. Pretty straightforward distraction, right?"

The kind with food. Those were often effective.

"And apple cider," Cecil added. "That's supposed to be traditional."

Whether it went with pizza was anybody's guess, but this was Cecil.

"Enjoy!"

As you walk through corn. Looking for pizza.

The odds were good that unless she managed to follow someone who was going to be successful at finding the pizza, Merrill was just going to end up lost in the corn.

Possibly forever.

Or at least until the end of class.

Talk to the Teachers

Once they tag in.

Cecil was here, and eating a bit of pizza himself. He would never pass up an opportunity to eat wheat that wasn't going to turn on him.

Pizza? Kanan could get behind pizza, even if it was of dubious traditional value. So there he was at the other of the maze, helping himself to some. He'd probably save some for the students. Probably.

OOC!

Sorry for the late!
