How To Science Things All Sciencily, Monday

[whatisclocks]

A tall, red-headed woman in a suit walked backwards through the open door.

She eyed the ceiling.

She walked forwards through the door, glancing at her feet.

She stepped backwards through it again. "If it's American," she wondered, "How can it be so French? Bloody traitors. Though I heard the French picked macaroni over a pen earlier, I can understand wanting a real snack, but it sounds like they were just tired of eating all that French."

Philomena narrowed her eyes at the ceiling. "Think someone scribbled on there, maybe it's the pen," she said. "Wait, does this mean France has all of one pen--?"

She turned around and startled immediately. "What are you?" she demanded of the class.

... that was apparently going to be it.

Paridot glanced down at herself. And squinted. And then looked back at the human with a raised eyebrow.

"Not last time I checked," she replied. "I've always been green."

Always. Since long before anybody in this room had been a thought.

"Perhaps you've developed a fault then," Philomena offered helpfully.

Peridot's eyes went wide at that.

And then she was standing up on her desk, all the better for pointing a finger as close to Philomena's face as was short-Gem-ly possible.

"You take that back!"

Philomena reeled back, looking offended. "Don't get cross with me 'cos you got the colors wrong."

"You said I had a flaw!" Peridot was now waving her arm around, accusingly. "I'll have you know that I'm a fine example of a Peridot!"

She waved her other hand at the triangular stone on her forehead.

"Look at this! Look at it! You'd have a hard time finding another Era Two Peridot that compares!"

Well. Around here. And she was far inferior to the Peridots of Era One. But she wasn't going to say as much to any human who had the audacity to say that she was flawed.
