Wednesday Assembly, Wednesday, December 16, 2020

"Everyone here and not...engulfed in hot chocolate lava, what the frell?" Anakin asked. "No head wounds? No one in a snow bank assisted by a candy cane?" He let out a deep breath. "Well, fortunately for all of us, we have a local expert, Duke Crocker, here to lead us all through some yoga poses and guided meditation."

Which explained why there were no chairs today, only yoga mats, but didn't really explain the small crowd of gremlins, raccoons, squirrels and the Front Office Moose loitering in the back of the auditorium.

Maybe they were there for yoga too?

"Take it away, Duke."

Or complain. This is a good place to complain.

Astrid had almost not bothered coming to this thing today and just generally staying in her room which is what she planned on doing in general once things started to get really weird again, because, look, the last big winter thing that happened here left her kidnapped by a goat demon in a volcano immediately after her foster mother's tragic death, so...

She was a little wary about doing anything right now.

But being around people felt significantly safer and better than being mostly alone right now, and so...assembly.

The hot chocolate streams made it a bit more difficult fer Wayne to get around on the snowmobile, but it still allowed him to get back and forth between taking Elli to the clinic fer the day and making sure she was all set and getting to the assembly fer whatever nonsense that would have fer them that day, without having to deal with too much of the other tom fuckery.

Felt like it'd been a while, since they had a week like this one, and it was only Wednesday, fer fuck's sake.

Troy was pretty sure a lot of this stuff was not part of Christmas normally. Pretty sure. But at least the assembly seemed like something pretty normal to latch onto while everything else felt decidely not normal, but if it was?

He was starting to feel a little bit better about not having celebrated Christmas all these years so far.

Yoga? Well, why not. Lana rarely minded meditating. It would help with killing candy canes and angels later.

"Anyone who wants a ride back to the dorms after this, come find me later," Illyana announced when she arrived, shaking rock-candy icicles out of her hair. "This is bullshit."

Ohmmmmm--

"Um," Duke said, eying that crowd with suspicion. The moose bellowed softly, and one of the squirrels came scrambling up to him, holding a little folded piece of paper. Duke accepted it with due gravitas and unfolded it. "'This is stressful for all of us'," he read. "'Yoga for all.'" He folded it back up and tucked it into his pocket. "Guess I can't argue with that." He pointed to one of the gremlins. "No biting."

Yeah. 'Cause that would work.

Duke led the group -- squirrels and gremlins and raccoons and all -- through a simple relaxation flow.

Or as much of one as you could do while also trying to keep an eye out for teeth.

Once that was complete, he started into a short, guided meditation. Hey, maybe this could actually work!

Lana breathed deeply and sank into the meditation. It was different than she was used to, but she could see how it might be useful, even if she was more inclined to ball up her feelings to use rather than let them go.

. . . Or not.

Apparently what really helped gremlins relax was biting people. Just as people were starting to truly find their centers, the gremlins scattered through the crowd, looking for some juicy, juicy chaos.

Lana could feel them coming before they ever got to her, and promptly set up a Force shield around her. One gremlin tried to get in, and she glared at it. It bared its teeth, pounded on the shield, then gave up.

While he madly tries to dodge gremlin teeth.

Look, there was a time and a place for hallucinations, and in front of the whole school was not it! Not this time, at least. . . .

Or complain. You can complain here too.

Thank you so much for playing along with our assemblies this semester!
