The Multiverse is F'd, Y'all; Wednesday, Second Period [10/11].
Class that week would be meeting in the danger shop, not because anyone was likely to be in any real danger or anything like that, but just because it was the easiest way to get everyone nice and comfortable in one of those flashy home theater set-ups, although she definitely did think of just using the classroom mod to wheel in a TV on a cart, because, hilarious.
But honestly? For the week she'd had? She was going for cozy and comfort over comedy.
"Hey, guys," she said, "have a seat, get comfortable, I've got popcorn and snacks and drinks for you, too, so help yourself. I'm going to be completely honest with you guys, I have not have the time or energy this last week to really arrange something for class today, so guess what, we're doing the classic movie day. But we are doing it multidimensional-style, which means I'm about to introduce you all to the wonders that is Interdimensional Cable.
"Now," she explained a little further, "since we do live in an interdimensional nexus, we do, sort of, already have something like this here, it's just a little more limited, subtle, and nuanced, I guess. Not nearly as far reaching as an interdimensional cable box. Here, most of the media available seems to be pretty closely tied to this dimension; a lot of people come from places that have franchises or other things that don't exist here, but can be brought it in easily enough. This this goes fucking everywhere, and you'll get some of the most random stuff. A version of your favorite show where genders are flipped, or everyone's a different flavor of alien....I know there's one channel where you can't escape movies starring my dad because they're from the dimension where I wasn't born so he became a big movie star instead...and then you have things completely out of left field, advertisements for businesses in bizarro dimensions where pizzas are people or crime shows about a foot. Because, remember, the key factor about multiversinality is that the possibilities really are infinite. If you can think of it, there's probably a dimension out there that's got it.
"So each of you have a remote for the ID cable box and we're just going to spend some time today relaxing and watching TV across the multidimensional spectrum. Brace yourself, because it can get really weird....it can also get really boring, too, though, like imagine another dimension's version of C-Span but where everyone is literal statues and communicate mentally, or literally any dimension's version of the most boring TV show you can think of: it's out there, and it's even worse than you could have imagined."
