Today, Zhaan is clothed neatly in grey robes, the bunny slippers perched happily on her toes.

"I'll be handing back your exams, children. You all did extremely well." She smiled, "And I also expect you to hand in your homework on plants in stories."

Shuffling her papers, she tilted her head, "There is no further lecture today. If you have any questions about the exam, please feel free to ask them."

: A
1. Is there a ceiling in the sky?
At times, there appears to be. Perhaps the atmosphere simply wants to present itself as hospitable?

2. All of the above.
I take it you've been to the Uncharted Territories, my dear.

3. Yes.
Lovely.

4. Yes, unless it is a water plant of course.
You'd be surprised. I once knew a sea anemone--not from Earth, of course. She was a lovely blue-green sub-species from--and she had a bit of a shock in regards to a shark, and forgot for a moment how to regulate her environment. Later, I head, they'd buried her at sea.

5. For my plants Sea Chanties are best. I'm sure there are some plants that would prefer some other type of music. But I do not have any of them.
They are quite lovely. I believe I shall start subjecting Batou to them.

1. Very, very tall.
Quite.

2. As I had been inclined to believe that only animals could walk, I'm beginning to wonder if they're not a wee bit of both.
Rocks, sadly, are less interesting than most plants. And yet I find animals to sometimes be specious.

3. ... Are they trying to hug me first?
Quite possibly. You could ask them, of course. Although trees are notoriously hard to understand. Perhaps after a century or two of meditation one would come to an agreeableness with them.

4. Yes.
Correct.

5. Bagpipes and drums. Always bagpipes and drums.
And why not the woodwinds?

1. ~~Very very tall.~~ Ginormous.
Indeed. *sighs* An encyclopaedia would be difficult to find?

2. Animal. Although, I think I'm beginning to like plants.
As you should, my dear.

3. I think so.
You think so. Very good for you.

4. Yes. They drown.
Correct.

5. It seems to like ~~hacked~~ satellite radio.
Good.

1. Taller than me.
I should hope so.

2. Plant
Perfect choice. Children today make my heart glad.

3. Ever? Yes.
Lovely.

4. Yes
Correct.

5. Vyvyan likes thrash.
Intriguing. I shall make a note of this thrash, and perhaps listen myself.

[Sorry for the lateness, Bones was extra squeeful, and then I started dinner...]

Mint tea, and butter cookies.

Pippi signs in.

Walter signs in.

*signs in, swipes tea*

Macbeth signs in.

You can handwave it, of course. ~~But now I want to write a research paper. Damnit.~~

Pippi turns in her homework giving the story of the farmer who bragged that his daughter was so beautiful it was as if her hair was straw that had been spun into gold. And the King misheard and thought it was that the girl could spin straw into gold. So he had the girl shut up into a barn full of straw. And how a little impish troll showed up in the girl's cell and how he spins the straw into gold for the poor farm girl so she wouldn't be exicuted. How he did this in exchange for her first born child. When the time came she didn't want to give up the child, so Rumplestiltskin gave her three guesses for three days to tell him his name and she wouldn't have to give up her baby. And the night before the third day she hid in the reeds where she heard him call out his name to the night sky. So her first guess on the third day was not a guess at all, but the correct answer. And so she didn't have to give up her child.

Walter turns in a paper about Briar Rose and how he'd wanted to cover one of the walls of the school with a fast growing vine and have races up it.

~~I'm gonna do it tomorrow when my brain isn't shot. Besides, I want that reesearch paper.~~

Sharon turned in a long, rambling essay about how woods figure largely in most fairy tales. Of course, it's a fact of life that in the times the tales were told, the forests of the world were far more prevalent. Not to be side-tracked, however, she discusses how it was the normal people, the woodcutters and their children (generally daughters) who were given great wishes and riches due to their good hearts. Unless they'd been bad, and even then, they could simply repent.

The paper ends rather abruptly after a discourse about Snow White and Rose Red, and their affliction of a dwarven nature.

Macbeth turns in a paper about a really, really, really tall beanstalk and some stupid kid who gets his kicks from really, really high heights. Somewhere in the paper, his digresses into a rant about why people should always practice caution when dealing with enchantments and plants, particularly when they're connected to one another, and he somehow manages to pull the two topics together again by pointing out that the beanstalk lead the boy into the den of a man-eating giant.

Y'know, the dinner thing would be more impressive if you'd done more than thawing the chicken.

HEY. It could have been worse. You could've burned it again.

Ack! Not the burned chicken! Dad was cooking chicken guts on the stovetop today and decided that it would be a good idea to abandon the frying pan for an hour to come downstairs to play solitaire and wrestle with tech support and customer service reps because our internet was down. Macbeh-mun comes home to the lovely smell of hour-charred bird flesh, takes one small breath, and promptly goes outside again to remember how to breathe before running back inside to put out the fire.
The house? So very smelly like blackened chicken guts. Blackened chicken guts? So very, very smelly.

Ack! I've never left it that long! Long enough there are blackened bits and dead onions, though.

So I'm not the only one who has a dad who does that?
