The Ever Changing Facets of Reality, 2nd Period - Monday

[captainskullpoopl]

"Good morning, students!" Vanessa looked absolutely thrilled today for some reason. Some mysterious reason.

It was probably the inexplicably hot blond chick next to her. Because, look kids, it was gonna be A Week,

"Wow, these are so distracting," she said, looking down at her own chest. It was Wade. It was clearly Wade. You all knew these things were happening, right?

"Stop poking them, baby," Vanessa said without looking. "That's for later. We have to teach the children now." Boring. "And today we're doing...House Hunters! Wait, no. Not competitive. Shit. I already programmed the houses. Okay, we're doing Trading Spaces!"

Wade sighed, keeping her hands to herself for now. "We even brought the straw to really fuck up a room with your 'aesthetic'."

There was a large pile of paint and what seemed to be half of a crafting store dumped in the corner of the room for people to use. And yes, here was glitter. Because glitter was always there.

"So your assignment for today is to redecorate the living room of one of these perfectly innocent bland suburban houses using the handwavey materials provided. Bonus points will be awarded for creativity." AKA 'really fucking up a room with your aesthetic.' "We've carefully and thoughtfully divided you into two teams." By which she meant they'd drawn a line in the middle of the class roster.

"Loser gets kicked off the island." Still a no, Wade. Still a no.

"They still won't let us do that," Vanessa reminded Wade. She sounded pretty bummed about it. "Now get to trading those spaces, or whatever the catchphrase is!"

Sidon....didn't really look all that different today, at least not for most people, because the differences between male and female Zora were...subtle. He was smaller, but not by much, and slimmer, but, again, not by much.

Honestly, the biggest difference would be slight appareance of what looked like breasts on his usually smoothly flat and broad chest, a secondary sex characteristic that made perfect sense on a species that wasn't even mammalian, right?

Right.

But that was neither here nor there because there was a house to be decorated, and this apparently current princess had ideas.

"Do you think," he trilled, because there was that, too, his voice, which was much lighter and brighter and feminine than his usual timber--he rather quite liked it, finding it wonderfully musical. He turned to his team eagerly, "we could build some sort of fountain?"

Oh, he hoped so!

"I mean, sure, why not?" Illyana replied with a shrug. "...do you know how to build a fountain? I don't."

Re: Decorate!

[in_sidon_we_trust]

There was...a pause.

"Not at all!" Sidon eventually said, with an enthusiastic pump of his fist. "But how hard could it be?"

In his defense, he did sort of come from a race that was crazy good at sculpting entire water palaces out of their surroundings. Sidon himself couldn't do it, but the ones that did make it look so easy and effortless!

"I say we paint the walls orange."

Ulysses had no reasoning for that. It was just the first thing that came to him, because it wasn't like anything in this class actually mattered.

(Also if you thought that after last week, he wasn't slightly bummed Illyana wasn't on his team this week, you thought wrong.)

"I like orange," Shuri said, who was wearing an orange shirt today. "It's not like anything matters here. It'll go really well with the straw. Very 'pumpkin patch exploded'."

Re: Decorate! - Team 2

[amitragic]

"Nothing does matter here," Ulysses agreed, pointing at her. "So the fake people who fake live here, they're gonna get like a super seasonal, pumpkin patch explosion extravaganza, or something. Basically like modern art."

Beat.

"Or post-modern, maybe even post-post-modern art. I don't know, I don't really keep up."

Re: Decorate! - Team 2

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Me either," Shuri admitted. "But if we're going for post-post modern, that's probably hugely impractical sharp edges on everything, right? Maybe suspended from the ceiling?"

Re: Decorate! - Team 2

[amitragic]

"Ooh, like something that looks great on Insta but probably impales you like you're in a gory movie if you get up from the couch in the wrong spot?" Ulysses checked.

"'Cause, I am down with that."

Re: Decorate! - Team 2

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Exactly like that," Shuri said gleefully.
