Treat Yourself, Thursday, Period 2
Class had been notified to meet at Portalocity today, and that is where Liliana, dressed in normal, if low-cut, Earth clothing met them.
"Self-indulgence is about giving yourself permission to enjoy things, especially things that you normally would consider out of reach, costing too much in time or energy or money to usually enjoy. Not all of these are relaxing; in fact, some can be quite active or intense. It is not everyone's cup of tea to enjoy a languorous massage--" some people were just weirdos "--and might prefer something more lively and exciting instead. Still others might not find creature comforts particularly indulgent, but may be transported by the opportunity to experience aspects of the cultural scene they normally would not be able to. And so, today we're going to indulge ourselves experiencing some cultural activities at their finest, perhaps even a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We're off to Paris; though you each have your choice of locations."
Behind Liliana three different portals opened up. "To the left, we have a portal that will take you to one of today's Olympics showings, the--" She had to check the tickets. "--Women's Artistic Individual All-Around, which is a gymnastics competition. Through the middle portal, we have the show En Amour at the Philharmonie de Paris, labeled an 'an immersive, interactive experience at the intersection of live performance and visual art installation.' And then through the right portal is a trip to the Louvre, to see some of the most well-known artistic works on the plane. Now, because we are splitting up, it's on you to make sure you return to your portal on time, otherwise you'll be making your own way home."
But they were all adults and if they couldn't figure out how to summon a portal on their phones, that was a them problem. And who was she to deny them if they decided they wanted to indulge in a little more time in Paris, hmm?
"Each portal will drop you off in a secluded location in or near your chosen activity and will open there at the end of class. This way, there's no worry about having to navigate your way through a foreign city. Any questions? If not, take one of the three tickets and enjoy your trip!"
