Introduction to Earth Zoology, Wednesday, period 1

[livingartifact]

"And so our class ends," Jenkins said as the students gathered. "This is our last week together. I hope you've enjoyed learning as much as I've enjoyed teaching, attacking creatures and all. In lieu of any sort of final exam, which I am as loathe to have to assess as I suspect any of you would be to take, I thought it would be enlightening to take one last field trip, this time to one of the facilities wherein modern humans may enjoy the privilege of watching and occasionally interacting with Earthen animals much the way we have here. I mean, of course, a zoo."

A portal opened, revealing a bright, glimmering entrance. "I hope none of you minds; when I learned that the local zoo celebrates the winter holidays with a display of festive lights alongside the animal attractions, I simply could not resist making sure our portal was scheduled to drop us off after dark. It gives us a rare chance to see some of the animals herein in their nocturnal habits, as well as enjoy some glowing cotton candy."

And if Jenkins ended up going home with a Christmas light mohawk, well. Who could blame him?

It's extremely brief

Look, there was shiny stuff all around the island and Pumpkin kept trying to eat it, which was why Peridot was carrying her into class today. And heck, a trip to the zoo? Peridot and Pumpkin could both get behind that. It wasn't as though anybody on the mainland would believe Pumpkin was real, after all.

"Hey, Pumpkin! We're going to go see all of those weird meaty Earth animals! Aren't you excited?"

Oogle the animal

A lot of the outdoors ones are snug in their beds, but many of the critters in, say, the small mammal and reptile houses are feeling quite active!

Peridot was totally making her way to the small mammal house, yes. Because... well... they made her feel big, okay? And Pumpkin seemed to like watching them scurry around, too, which was a definite bonus. Anything that made Pumpkin happy made Peridot happy!

... Except for the tinsel eating.

If it's food-based and in some way lights up, he is all over that shit.

We had a glorious time at Zoolights last year. Mostly trying to identify the light sculptures when we came up on them from odd angles.
