WEEK 2

[lockdownmods]

 [ Week 2 has begun. It's quiet and calm on campus so far, and you definitely aren't being called out for more. You know. BS or icebreakers. The wall is still deceptively easy to hop over, the birds are singing, Todd's somewhere on campus.

Welcome to week 2 of classes everyone. ]

That would take all the thrill out of it, wouldn't you think?

[unhalting]

I've got enough thrills out of this place already. Besides, I don't think I'm gonna see anything groundbreaking from a stack of pancakes.

[sendintheclown]

You need to open your mind a little more! How often have you seen breakfast turned into entertainment?

[unhalting]

Never, but I think there's a reason for that. [Just. Takes a bite out of a pancake to punctuate that.]

[sendintheclown]

Yes! Because no one's been so bold to try!

[You've still got some pancake left he's not giving up yet.]

This would be a groundbreaking venture!

[unhalting]

[He just stares at Gogol as if he's in thought for a bit.]

...So what's stopping you from just usin' your own and leaving it at that?

[sendintheclown]

Two words!

[He holds up two fingers.]

Audience! Participation!

[unhalting]

What's so important about it that you have to go around botherin' people who are trying to eat?

[sendintheclown]

It's only half the fun! It creates a unique immersive theater experience!

[unhalting]

So what if they don't find it fun? You keep pestering them 'til they give up?

[sendintheclown]

...Pretty much.

[You got him there.]

But who wouldn’t want to? It’s the most universally appealing repertoire I have!

[unhalting]

I don't. [With the flattest expression, another bit of pancake bites the dust.]

[sendintheclown]

Have you ever been to the circus?

[unhalting]

Never had the time to. [Amongst other reasons, but.]

[sendintheclown]

That’s exaaaactly my point!

[He points! For emphasis!]

You’ve never been, so you don’t know what you’re even declining!

[unhalting]

If it's anything like last week, I doubt I'll be missing much. [Granted, the show from before wasn't bad, but... probably just not worth a stack of pancakes?!]

[sendintheclown]

A performer always aims to outdo himself.

[Said with just a hint of threat.]

[unhalting]

[Huh...]

And it's bad business to not explain to people what they're supposed to be buyin'.

[sendintheclown]

It’s called the art of surprise!

[unhalting]

I don't exactly like surprises if I'm on the receiving end.

[sendintheclown]

Well that’s rather boring, isn’t it?
