{02} cardiovascular questions

[Action, at Mayfield High; backdated to Friday]

[Yeah, Medic hadn't really known that school was back in session until he'd started receiving annoyed phone calls from the faculty. If anyone is enrolled in Mayfield High's biology class and lab, well, enjoy your couple of days off! When you arrive on Friday, though, you'll find a very annoyed teacher, dressed pretty much nothing like a teacher, leafing through the textbook in irritation.]

Vhell. It seems zhat it has fallen to me to teach you zhe finer points of zhe study of life; however, ve vhill not be relying on zhis textbook to do so. It is outdated und censored und I prefer my vork hands-on. It vhill be a tool, not our source.

[He leans back in his chair, putting his feet up on his desk and wishing sorely that he had a cigarette or his Kritz right about now.]

I expect you to read it anyvay, of courze. Now, I am certain zhat zhe school vhill provide zhe usual rats und frogs und pig fetuses, but I vhill be giving extra credit to anyvone who brings us anyzhing more interesting to take apart.

Fuck, it was totally a one-sided fight, it was nothing!

Well, of course we'd use...gloves... But usually, the animals one might dissect in a lab would be checked for disease or anything--like that.

Wouldn't they?

[appleknighted.livejournal.com]

Well, no, but... where... would you get a dead...

[Noooo she doesn't want to think of these things.]

[[He totally meant he's afraid of what a mad scientist would want to dissect, but still.]]

Bodies we are not given?

[Terezi looks horrified and delighted.] Gross! What's a mother? What was it doing inside of the mother?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Zhe same place I vould get a live body.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

I have not checked zhe lab's specimens, but if ve have anyzhing ozher zhan frogs und rats, I vhill be surprised.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

I also do not vant to ask zhis town for anyzhing. Zhey vould fill it vith spiders or poison.

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

Even our possessions?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Mayfield isn't providing zhose. Zhey are returning zhem.

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

Point taken.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

[Okay, this will be fun.]

Nobody told you how babies are made?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

You are over-analyzing zhis. Vhat are you vorrying about catching?

Und if a specimen is disfigured from disease, it is simply a more valuable subject for study.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

I assume you have had more zhan vone fight vith him.

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

Just two. I, like, don't got out and start this shit, dude; he started it.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

No. [Terezi tilts her head; she's from a planet full of a species that reproduces in much the same way ants do. she's never heard of one single mother incubating one child that is genetically hers.

hell, she doesn't even know what a 'baby' is, even though her custodian dreamed about them.] Tell me!

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

So, like a pig?

[miraculous]

Very well.

Maybe I'll let you use one of my goats.

[c-o-u-r-a-g-e.livejournal.com]

I suppose I can see how that would be... fascinating. But safety should be first, certainly?
