The Weird, Wonderful, and WTF World - Friday, First Period [09/06].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Lotta classes meeting in front of the portalocity office this semester! You loved to see it! And that was absolutely where Summer's class would be gathering this week and probably most weeks, and she grinned easily at everyone as they gathered.

"So, hey," she said. "Welcome to the class where I'm going to show you some really weird, some really wonderful, and some really what-the-fuck things about this planet for a whole semester. That's a pretty broad range of topics, I know, but I hope you won't be disappointed. Today, though, we're going to be leaning into the wonderful to get started, so I don't scare too many of you off right out the gate. Well, wonderful, unless you're allergic to cats, in which case, enjoy the what-the-fuck, I guess. Because we're going to be hopping on over to Aoshima in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan, which is best known as one of that country's most premiere cat islands."

You're welcome, Jon.

"It's a tiny little fishing island with right around 200 hundred cats and significantly fewer people. The cats were brought in to help with the mice, and clearly stayed for the island's abundance of delicious food. There's really not a whole lot to do on Aoshima, it's a pretty quiet place, but that's fine, because we're just going to go and do our introductions surrounded by cats! So let's just get going and we'll continue from there!

"I mean," she added, "unless you are allergic to cats and want to just sit this one out. That, like, would be totally valid."

If there's any significant allergies, speak now or hope someone packed an EpiPen or at least some tissues.

It's a small fishing village on an island covered in cats! Summer is definitely going to give everyone a chance to sort of be swarmed by the curious and friendly feline residents of Aoshima for a little while before gathering everyone to grab a cat and grab a seat on the wharf as they get into actual class business.

"Now," she said, "for a class like this, it's hard to really gauge what everyone might think is weird or wonderful or sort of what-the-fuck if I don't know where everyone's coming from, so I just want to make sure we spend a little time today to go over the basics: what's your name, where you're from, and, just for a sort of idea of where the bar is, what was one of the weirdest or most wonderful things to have happened to you...that can also be considered appropriate for a classroom setting."

Not looking at you, there, Stewart.

Summer snuggled a little with the calico that she had claimed and then asked, "Who's first?"

Her own cat was going to be so pissed at her when she got home, but whatever. She was going to take plenty of pictures so that she could just tell Pancakes that if she didn't behave, she was going to send her to live here in Aoshima. Mwa ha ha.
