Practical Philosophy, Friday

[endsthegame]

"We come into life shaped in a certain way," Ender began. Outside again: the weather continued to work with him, which pleased him. Even if there were dark clouds on the horizon.

Before Class

[endsthegame]

Settle in, judge the weather, enjoy yourself.

Britta was, this time, not actually drunk for class, not even a little bit, like last week. She was, however, tending to some new wounds on her wrists, a gift from her newly acquired feline roommate (she wasn't going to belittle Susie B by referring to her as a pet). There was even an angry set of red slashes on her cheek, a badge she wore proudly. Susie B was asserting herself, and she liked that in a cat.

Listen to the Lecture

[endsthegame]

As one does. Feel free to interrupt if you have something to say while he's talking.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[nothornlessrose]

Cassidy, of course, was taking notes again.

Talk.

[endsthegame]

How did you experience transformation, if you did so at all? Do you have thoughts on that? What about turning into another gender?

Or bring up something else entirely. As always: feel free to make things messy.

"I was a unicorn," Cassidy finally said. "It was a bit difficult trying to find other ways to accomplish things that I was used to doing. Not having hands was a little strange."

Re: Talk.

[endsthegame]

"Did you find a way to do them in the end?" Ender asked. "I know Ben had some trouble going down the stairs."

Re: Talk.

[nothornlessrose]

"I learned that sometimes it takes a great deal of patience to find a way to accomplish things that I had always just been able to do." She played with a strand of hair. "I was able to use my Craft to get myself out of my locked room. It was a great deal harder to find a way to be able to use the phone. I ended up teaching myself extreme motor control when I spent several hours trying to get a pencil to touch the keys on my phone just right using my Craft."

If anything, it had definitely forced her to teach herself a new skill that could come in handy in other situations that were less harmless than the weekend had been.

Talk to the TA

[endsthegame]

Once she's pinged in, of course.

Re: Talk to the TA

[life_inshadow]

Tara was trying to make a list of all the things she'd been besides herself in Fandom. Violet, boy (three times), guinea pig, model who didn't look like her, model who did look like her, satanic cult member, six-year-old, purple pony with wings, Surreal ...

It was a long list.
