Four [ACTION] In Which BRAINS HAPPEN!

[myblimpisbigger]

[Anyone unfortunate enough to be in Klaus's biology class will arrive to find that, on their desk, is a jar. In that jar, besides some suspicious green liquid which is totally harmless upon inspection, is a brain. It's obviously not a human brain -- too small -- but it's still a brain, and it's still on their desk, and it's still accompanied by a stick-on label and a sharpie.]

Good morning, class. Today we begin our unit on the nervous system. On your desk is your new best friend. Give them a name to distinguish them from everyone else's best friends and we can begin.

Those are high hopes for this class.

[myblimpisbigger]

I have always been optimistic in matters where brains are concerned.

[Besides, he can extend this unit indefinitely if you don't get it the first time around. He just looooooooooves him some brains, spinal cords and nerves, okay...]

[unknownrival]

[Issei writes the name down.]

Some of my classmates seem less than pleased.

[myblimpisbigger]

They will learn to deal with it. The nervous system is arguably the most important in the human body, and I would be doing them a disservice if I did not give it the proper attention.

[unknownrival]

It's simply not a subject that's usually hands-on, as it's typically inside the body where hands can't get to it.

[myblimpisbigger]

I know. It's one of the great tragedies of science, isn't it? You can imagine how disappointed I was not to be able to get my hands on a proper cadaver. Luckily I was able to procure these.

[He taps the side of his own jar fondly. In neat script is written 'Othar Tryggvassen GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER'.]

[unknownrival]

...Should I ask why that name?

[myblimpisbigger]

Oh, it's merely in reference to an old friend of mine.

[And by 'old friend' he means 'man I've been trying desperately for years to kill, involving numerous attempts to drill into his brain and/or throw him to his death from an airship.

Details, details.]

[unknownrival]

Ah. Mine is a classmate I dislike and would like to compare unfavorably in brain size to an animal.

[He's pretty sure these are animal brains.]

[myblimpisbigger]

I see. This particular brain happens to belong to a sheep, so I suppose it's an apt comparison to make if you're looking to be insulting.

[unknownrival]

I'll have to tell him if I see him again.
