"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."

"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. . . .
