Culture Shock, Thursday, 6/18, Period 2
Algren had left a handwavey note for his class to meet him out my the main campfire again. No particular reason, really. He just liked the fresh air. And possibly watching kids suffer in cloudy, sometimes soggy weather.
"In the last few classes," he said, pulling up a stump and having a seat, "we've covered the stages of culture shock, and we've discussed how they pertain to life here on Fandom Island. Today, we're going to focus less on the 'shock,' and more on the 'Fandom,' because you never know when it's going to strike."
He nodded down to a bowl he had placed nearby.
"In this bowl, there are some scraps of paper. On those scraps are written a few different afflictions that this place might hit you with at some point during your stay here. Pull out one, read it, keep it a secret. And then mingle with the rest of your class, acting out your unfortunate symptom. As your classmates guess what the matter is, you'll find yourself transformed back to normal. When that happens, take a cookie and get out of my hair."
Yes, he'd stopped by J,GoB on his way to work today and picked up some moddable cookies. Just so that he could excuse chasing the wee children away early. It was a lazy sort of day.
[Please wait for OCD! Class is up! Enjoy!]
