New Species Event - Mass Interaction Log

[lucetimods]

Who: Anyone!
What: All in here
When: Today, Tomorrow, Until April 2nd
Where: Anywhere in Luceti!
Summary: People in Luceti wake up as something they weren't before. An elf, a gremlin, a vulcan, or perhaps a mermaid? Try living in someone else's shoes... if they can even wear those.
Rating: Not recommended for those with weak constitutions, raging hormones, shipping goggles, or people just too cool and attractive for this kind of thing.

No need for LJ Cut! Mass action style stuff all around town. You can use this if you don't want to make a post. Or you can make a post anyway. Have at!

[She swims a bit closer to the bridge to get a better look at Raine. Honestly, she's still having a hard time trying to figure out a pattern for this experiment. If there is one.]

... Is that so?

[wise_maiden]

[She shrugs a little.] It's nothing terribly interesting. I'm just not really myself, I suppose.

[She tilts her head curiously, but decides to drop the matter nonetheless.] Well, at least it'll be over soon. I hope so, anyway. This form is rather... odd.

[wise_maiden]

[She does feel a little guilty for not being as open with Gelda. Maybe ...

She'll test the waters, so to speak.]

Just another means of stepping into another's skin, isn't it? Some of the changes are quite diverse.

[She gives a helpless smile and holds up her arm, showing off one of her huge fins.] That's putting it rather mildly. We've more peculiar species than usual in the village, now.

[wise_maiden]

When there are more differences, I suppose it stands out more. It's a little surprising that no one really calls attention to the day-to-day ones.

It's hard to tell just who changed and who didn't, I suppose. In some cases, you can't tell their identities at all anymore and they just mix in with the crowd.

[wise_maiden]

Given the variety of species, it's clear that most people have been changed. Unfortunately they haven't all changed in ways that would make them distinguishable.

I wonder if we could make an assignment out of it.

[zora-professor.livejournal.com]

You know, I was thinking the same thing. This experiment would make a perfect subject for World Sharing class.

[wise_maiden]

Perhaps research on the species they've turned into, and whether or not others recognize it? Or perhaps the affect at being turned into something else--does it affect their perceptions of the world any?

[zora-professor.livejournal.com]

Of course, we'll have to be sure to include something for the students who weren't affected by this. Did they recognize the species their friends and family were turned into? Or perhaps we could question what species they would've liked to be.

[wise_maiden]

No... I don't believe that last one is necessary. We want to expand their knowledge, not have them doubt their own species.

[zora-professor.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose not.

[wise_maiden]

At least in Luceti, something like that doesn't seem like too much of an issue among the majority of our students. [...] But I'd rather stay away from that direction.

[zora-professor.livejournal.com]

Of course. We wouldn't want to venture into too dangerous territory. Our goal is to educate, after all.
