The Multiverse is F'd, Y'all; Wednesday, Second Period [11/15].
"Now, I'm going to be completely honest with you guys," Summer said, leaning on the desk in front of the classroom-classroom while waiting for their portal to this week's destination to show up, "I'm kind of winging it with this class."
Shocker, right?
"In fact, I've mostly been cribbing from previous, similar classes I've taught," she continued, "which, you know, is fine, because some of this stuff is just classic and will never stop being relevant, however, due to the off-the-cuff nature in which I've been approaching it this semester, that means I'll probably leave a lot of the things I wanted to go over on the cutting room floor entirely by accident. Which is why, today, I wanted to make sure we did take some time to head out to a planet in my universe called Glaagablaaga...good luck saying that three times fast....home to the Garblovians. Now, if you're from a place where you're used to interdimensional....or even just interplanetary travel, the whole concept of a planet of individuals different from you might not be that mind-blowing, but it can be if you're not used to it. But we're using this trip today as a good example of the difficulties of communicating across the multiverse, because while, on the surface, there might seem to be some similarities between Garblovian culture and ours, they don't speak a word of a Common language like English, which, for some reason, is actually really widely known around my galaxy and a lot of other dimensions, too. Who knew? Anyway, they don't speak it, they do seem to understand it, though, but they have their own language and they are fully convinced that you understand it perfectly, which I'm assuming you do not. So let's go and see what we can do to work on some communication skills by interacting with some Garblovians.
"Oh," she added, as the portal arrived as if perfectly on cue, and she gestured for them all to come up and slip on through, "one more thing: they do tend to randomly explode, so if that happens, don't be startled, it's just a thing, and I promise you, the blue goo really does wash right off."
Shocker, right?
