The Ever Changing Facets of Reality, 2nd Period - Monday

This week the danger shop was done up to look like a tropical island, devoid of civilization. Save for the pre-programmed camera crews. But that just melted right on into the background, right?

"This week on... Survivor," Wade said in a deeper, radio announcer voice. "You'll be voting one of your classmates out of the class permanently."

One of the pre-programmed camera crew handed Vanessa a note. She read it and said, sotto voce to Wade, "Apparently we're still not allowed to do that."

"*BEEP*," Wade said, getting bleeped out in real time by the editing team. "Oh, c'mon. You get one *BEEP* in a PG-13 movie."

"We can't say *BEEP* now either?" Vanessa complained. "What kind of *BEEP*ing program is this? Uuuuugh. Okay, fine. Today you'll be voting one of your classmates off the island until the end of the class, I guess." Boring.

"This show *BEEP*ing sucks *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEEEEEP*," Wade said, making a series of complicated and vaguely offensive hand gestures to illustrate whatever point he was trying to make. It wasn't working too well.

Vanessa was handed another note. "Apparently we've used up most of the production budget for this week on beeping out the *BEEP*s. We have a *BEEP*ing production budget? Nobody told me about a *BEEP*ing budget! Okay, we have to issue you a challenge, I guess." They might have forgotten to plan this part.

"...*BEEP* me," Wade sighed, tossing his hands up. "I knew we shouldn't have programmed the movie magic side into this."

It really was a poor choice on their part.

"Okay, the challenge is to find food here so you don't slowly starve for our entertainment while the production team just watches dispassionately."

"And then vote who you're kicking off the island!" Vanessa said, and, after a moment of thought, added that, "It can't be us."

Sidon, of course, by now, had certainly come to this class expecting to be confused, but he had to admit that this particular scenario left him feeling exceptionally bewildered, as he eyed that intricate series of balance beams and the ball that would very clearly be difficult to balance on the particular curves and slopes of his head.

So he simply had to ask.

"Why go through all that trouble for a measely sandwich when we're on an island and I can merely go fishing for significantly superior and much more satisfying fare? If the goal truly is to procure sustitence, anyway..."

And Sidon grinned broadly, toothily, as if all those beeping sounds made it clear that he'd obviously won something of a intelligence challenge by having pointed that out.

"Does that then mean I can go fishing instead?" he asked, hopefully. "As a...creative solution to our current...limited sandwich conundrum."

"Or," Sidon proposed with a countering laugh, "perhaps that is just the thing that allows me to secure my spot, as it seems rather counter-intiuitive, does it not, to vote off the one invidiual who can expertly ensure that that rest of us have something far more delectable and bountiful to consume than one rather drab looking sandwich?"

Not, of course, that it mattered, since the voting off didn't have any consquences, anyway, beyond perhaps a small stab to one's self-confidence, but Sidon had plenty of that to spare and if swimming around during class trying to catch fake fish in a fake ocean meant getting voted off, he would gladly take that hit!

"All done."

So, the thing about being raised by someone who'd spent their life training Jedi was that this was neither the hardest or the strangest thing Theron had ever been asked to do.

Wade hadn't even expected them to walk on their hands.

"I vote for myself," Illyana said, utterly deadpan. "Please vote me off."

Yeah, they'd changed their minds once about if people were out for the semester or not once already, but it couldn't hurt to try. Maybe they'd change their minds again.
