Life Lessons Through Screen Time, Friday

When the students arrived for today's class, they would find their teachers eating cheesecake. Straight off the cake, with forks. "It's okay," Vanessa assured them. "We got another one for you...although we might have forgotten plates. Figure that out yourselves. Anyway, this is...what did we call this class?" she asked Wade. "Did we go with our working title of, 'I Dunno, Movie Day?'"

"Let me pull up the post," Wade said with a deeply put upon sigh, digging out his phone for it. He stabbed his fork right into the cheesecake to stake his claim. "Spring... 2019... no, not ours. Nope. Wow, two dance classes? Weird synergy. Here we are! Life Lessons through Screen Time. That's pretty thinky for us, though."

"The moose must have changed it," Vanessa said with a shrug. "Welcome to 'Life Lessons through Screen Time!' We're your teachers. I'm Vanessa. He's Professor Deadpool."

"Excuse me..." Wade broke in. "Detective Deadpool. I'm a Pokèmon now."

"Sure, babe," Vanessa said. "Only it's not Pokemon week. We'll get to that," she assured the students. "But first, you have to introduce yourselves! It's traditional. We probably won't remember your names, but whatever."

"I'm a Pokèmon," Wade whispered at the class before continuing on like it never happened. "Unless you make it interesting. Make it pop. Be like one of the classic protagonists from the shows that shaped our lives. Raised us. Made us think about killing a studio head. Whatever it might be."

"That's right! Tell us which stock character you are," Vanessa encouraged the class. "And, you know, your name or whatever."

"I'm Nell Ingram and I don't know what a stock character is. I most never have even seen a movie except wandering by the common room once in a while this fall."

Funny how the church elders and such weren't fond of movies, wasn't it?

"Really?" Vanessa asked dubiously. "Your other teachers never gave up for the week? What goody-two-shoes did you have last semester?" She was assuming Nell was from one of those tragic worlds that didn't have TV.

"We might have watched an educational film," Nell said uncertainly, "but I don't think anyone ever gave up?"

Nell's world had tv, the cultish church where she grew up didn't.
