Creative Problem Solving, June 9, 2025

On the off chance anyone in the class had ever wondered just how drunk two people with an intimate awareness of their limits and who'd decided to race past those limits could get, the answer was: very. The the point that the only reason Ahsoka wasn't wearing dark glasses to class was that she didn't have ears to hook them over.

"Today," Anakin said, very quietly with his hood up like a normal person who feared light, "is going to be a very quiet class. Very. Quiet."

"So quiet that your task involves almost no talking," Ahsoka, who had hearing much more sensitive than a human's and was deeply regretting that fact, said. Which would explain the stack of whiteboards and markers.

"First you'll very quietly take out your pictures of your best-looking family members and in your softest voice explain who they are or were," Anakin said. "And then we've split you into teams of two. We'll explain more once the pictures are finished."

Once Anakin had finished his near silent judging, Ahsoka continued. "One half of each pair has three minutes to come up with and write down as many obscure animals as they can think of. You can go off into your cubicles now and start writing." She turned to the other half of the pairs. "Once their time is up, you will hand them this clue, which tells them they must attempt to mime their list of animals for you to guess. You will write you guesses down on the whiteboard. The team with the most correct guesses wins."

Had Steve known this was the assignment? Not in the slightest! But he had a cellphone and a picture of Danny's daughter Grace, and he was prepared to bullshit right through this!

Lydia was rather more practiced in landscapes than portraiture, but she had really taken her time and put effort into her drawing for this week. Her subject deserved no less.

"This is my eldest sister, Jane," Lydia told the teachers as she presented the portrait. "Everyone agrees she's the beauty of the family."

Henry did not bring a picture.

Henry was sort of staring at his desk for a bit.

"I...I don't actually have any photographs," Jon said. "Or know any family other than my grandmother. So you get a picture of my cat."

Issa was lovely, though!

"This is a picture of my sister, Luma," said Eleanor, pulling up a photo she'd taken that weekend, in the wild woods surrounding their new house up in Maine, since they'd visited there that weekend. The golden sun filtered through the trees made her star-shaded hair glimmer almost radiantly, and she held that smirking smile on her face like she had a secret, with her sharp and hungry eyes to match.

"She's easily the prettiest among us," she added, which felt superfluous.

She had actually wanted to get her cousin Rhys in there, too, feeling like his roguish grin would add a lot of charm as well, but there were no roguish grins in him anymore, just a blank, mindless stare, no matter how much Eleanor told him to smile.

So it was just beautiful, pretty Luma, without a fang or claw in sight.

Vi had a picture on her phone of Little Bot flying a Roomba sized pride flag. It was a pretty sweet picture.

Oh, were you asking a Navy man to list obscure animals? Hell, yeah, he knew obscure animals. He knew them in Hawai'ian, which was going to get him bonus points, right?

By the end of the three minutes, Steve had a very long list ranging from acyloxyls to spinner dolphins to dik-diks. He was killing this assingment.

"Fuck," Steve said eloquently, looking at his list and then at Henry.

Henry shrugged helplessly. "I'm not from here," he said. "And I don't know a great deal of animals outside of the regular ones. But we'll take a crack at it, ey?"

"Exactly," Steve said, scanning through his list for something that wasn't insane. (Curse his inborn need to over-complete every assignment!)

"Okay, ready," he said, putting his hands together over his head like a shark. Please God, let Henry know what a shark was.

"Right, ready," Henry said, nodding along amiably.

And then sat there. Silently.

After a moment: "Oh, have you already gotten started?"

Oh no. Okay, Steve could figure this out! Syllables! Let's do syllables!

He nodded, then put his finger up to his mouth in a "shhh" symbol.

Well, if any of the animals were horrific and terrifying, Jon would probably just Know what they were.

Otherwise...yeah.
