[Any of the resident children will find Granny in the kitchen in the morning. Speaking to their drone daddy in no uncertain terms.]

Porridge is what I made. Ye can eat it or not, yer decision. Didn't make it fer you.

[Granny glances down at the lesson plan someone handed her on her way in. And promptly tosses it in the rubbish bin]

Well we won't be talking about that. Apparently I'm expected to teach you lot, so we might as well learn something of use. Like what reality ought to look like.

[When class lets out, Granny can be found in the park cataloguing everything for future class purposes.]

Well it ain't like this town. Seems more useful to teach you lot to spot all the shenanigans than...

[Picks up the lesson plan]

Spotting commune-ists.

..."shenanigans"?

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

All the business in this town that ain't right and proper. Whole town's too tidy.

[waiting4prince.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't it be more useful to see what really is here instead of what should be?

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Exactly. What's really going on rather than what the town wants you seeing. All that tidiness is hiding plenty.

[Alright, now that that's been cleared up, Sue's excited to learn!]

So how do you do it? See through the shenanigans, I mean.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

You start by asking questions. Like whether things should be so alike.

[waiting4prince.livejournal.com]

Okay... so you question what you see in front of you.

Then what?

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

THat's when you start looking closer, make sure it's not just the surface distractin' you.

[waiting4prince.livejournal.com]

Like trying to find something that sticks out from everything?

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Nothing is ever that tidy unless it's hiding something.

[waiting4prince.livejournal.com]

So if it is hiding something, you need to find exactly what that something is, right? And then figure out what to do with it?

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Not bad, yer catchin' on here.

[waiting4prince.livejournal.com]

It's probably a lot easier to say then do though. Do you have anything we could use to practice it? So we can have some experience for when we really need it?

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

The park is a good place to start from. Not much to learn just sittin' in here.
