[ Getting tased was not fun -- it actually made him feel some strange, crushing emotion that he had been heretofore completely unfamiliar with -- so he might as well get this "craft supplies" thing out of the way. Of course, it would help if he actually knew how to make these things... So in this video post, Raito/Philip/whoever he is can be seen sitting at a table in the library, looking through a book as he makes some extremely lousy-looking dreamcatchers out of construction paper. ]

As "punishment" for leaving the beach area yesterday, I am required to share a "secret about myself". I was unsure of what exactly this entailed, as there's nothing I particularly cared to hide to begin with, but a perusal of a dictionary provided me with the definition beyond human understanding. Thus, the secret that I am going to share is this: I am the smartest human being in the world.

[ Absolutely no irony here.

He scowls down briefly at his terrible dreamcatcher, which looks more like a web spun by a drunken spider. ]

[ morning ]

[Why couldn’t they give him letter writing? Or cleaning the toilets? It was something public last time too. He gets that it’s a punishment, but being up in front of people, presenting, it was humiliating. At least this wasn’t an all-day thing, or broadcast to the entire dome, like last time.]

So apparently my punishment this time is to give some kind of “respectable” lecture. I’ll try to have something thrown together this afternoon. You don’t have to come. [Please don’t come.] But it’ll be at the Education Center.

[He spends the morning cleaning up his store and working on his lecture.]

[ afternoon – lecture ]

[So, he really has so very little prepared. He has no idea what he’s doing. Even if he came with tons of notes and worksheets and materials, he would be lost, because this is just not something he can do. At least he has a topic. It’s dumb. The more he thinks about it, the more dumb it seems, and he should just not do it, but then he’ll catch hell for not doing it, and that’s even worse.

He winds up writing and drawing on the board.]
