{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 It is outdated und censored und I prefer my vork hands-on.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.

[Hand raising. Hand raising! She's raising her hand and waving it to get his attention!]

Um, excuse me, but... um... what do you mean by 'take apart'...?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

...Vhat does it sound like? Take apart. Break into pieces. Dissect. A book can only teach you so much; hands-on experience is vhere zhe learning really happens.

Und calm down. I see you.

Dissect...? You mean... cut up?! [Sora puts her hand down, but only because she's recoiling in horror in her chair.] But I like rats and frogs! They're too cute to cut up!

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Vhell you vhill have to get over it or you vhill fail my class.

[Headache... forming...]

Do you vant to learn or not?

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

QUESTION.

[no hand raising too cool for that]

[Medic gives Annie a flat look -- hey, hadn't she been dead a while ago?]

Answer.

[appleknighted.livejournal.com]

[Prepare for a year's worth of headaches, Mr. Medic.]

...oh no, do I get in trouble if I fail... [She doesn't knoooow.] But why can't we just look at pictures of what's inside things instead?!

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

[she got better]

You a Nazi?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

If you are villing to settle for a C zhen you can vatch someone else dissect und zhen fill out your assignments. It is a shame zhat you do not appreciate zhe beauty of anatomy, however... zhe curve of zhe kidney, zhe tangle of zhe veins. You are missing out.

[eye... twitch...]

Do you begin all of your conversations zhis way?

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Zhe shark-mouth boy vas not joking... [hrngh] Nein, I am not. Happy?

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

Yes. No. Maybe. I don't fucking know. It's, like, half and half.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Are you afraid I vhill kill you und hang you from a tree?

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Diana raises her hand. ]

What about a goat's heart?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Zhat vould qualify, yes. Better if you bring enough for zhe whole class.

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

... That is... weirdly fucking specific...

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

We couldn't convince the school to do so for us, even if we classify it as an extra credit lesson?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

If zhe school does it for you, vhy vould it be extra credit?

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Aah... you vouldn't remember, of course. Zhe last time I saw you you vhere in much vorse condition.

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

... Um. Explain that shit, dude.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

Eye shot out, naked, hanging from a tree? I do not know zhe details but I assume the vone Nazi zhe town does have vas responsible. I also assume he is zhe reason you decided to immediately interrogate me.

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

They would only be providing the supplies. Besides, with how utterly morbid this town is, I'd believe they wouldn't think too much on students dissecting goat hearts. That, and it'd be a learning experience for all involved.

It might also make you look good to the principal, as well.

[gotyourbones.livejournal.com]

You miss zhe point of zhe assignment. Zhe idea is for you to take enough interest in zhe subject to collect your own samples, und ensure zhe rest of zhe class benefits.

[ Diana purses her lips together, not displaying that she wants to say "be that way" since she's not sure of Medic's intentions as of yet. ]

I shall see what I can do.
