Death Ten: DISCWORLD: A HISTORY
Jan. 12th, 2011 03:42 pm[A. TEACHING:
High school students. By now you've realized there is something odd about your History teacher. The fact that he's teaching the history of another world may be one sign. The fact that he's a 7ft tall skeleton might be a better one. Still he's been here for a while now so all but the newer students would be astonished by this fact and that when he talks, you don't really hear it. It just arrives in your head.
The name Bill Door, is still written on the board. At the moment there are a few chalk diagrams on the board. There is a lot of stench lines.]
TODAY CLASS. WE WILL BE LEARNING ABOUT ONE ONE OF THE DISCS MORE.....INTERESTING CITIES.
ANKH-MORPORK.
THERE ARE MANY LEGENDS SURROUNDING THE FOUNDING OF THE CITY OF COURSE. ACCORDING TO SOME, THE FIRST CITY WAS BUILT BY TWO BROTHERS WHO WERE RAISED BY HIPPOPOTAMUS. ANOTHER LEGEND SUGGEST THAT MANY CENTURIES AGO THE DISC WAS FLOODED. AN ARK WAS CONTRUCTED, CONTAINING TWO OF EVERY ANIMAL. WHEN THE ACCUMULATED DUNG OF FORTY DAYS AND NIGHTS WAS DROPPED OVER THE SIDE, THEY CALLED IT ANKH-MORPORK.
HOWEVER, IN REALITY IT WAS A SMALL CITY BUILT TO SURROUND THE TOWER OF ART AT THE UNSEEN UNIVERSITY.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR?
[B. Walking down the street, he seems lost in thought. You can tell this because he doesn't seem to notice that he's walking through things, like telephone poles and mailboxes as though they weren't' even there. Feel free to point that out, or just stop and stare.]
