I’d like, uh, two normal rolls.

Sure thing!

And one with the… With the pumpkin seeds.

Which do you mean?

The one with the… With the seeds.

What are they called?

Uhm… A, uh, “crunchy pumpky.”

Sure thing. Would you like anything else?

Uhh… I’ll also take a, uh… A… A Nutella donut…?

Unfortunately, I don’t know at all what you mean…

A… One of those right there!

You really must tell me, what’s it called??

I… I’m… I’m a dumb piece of shit.

Sure thing! Anything else?

Hexbug (they/no english pronouns)

An unusually shaped Eridian. Their tiny legs make them quite clumsy and slow. They WERE the coolest science teacher on the planet until this LEAKY SPACE BLOB showed up!! They have "accidentally" stumbled into Grace's legs and knocked him over several times.

Meanwhile, Grace loves Hexbug and thinks they're amazing. He asks them a lot of questions about best teaching practices on Erid. He is oblivious to their rivalry.

The only human Hexbug tolerates is the science guy.... Bill Nye.

when you are on a jury field trip you May Not share a seat, you May Not speak, and you May Not look at anything you have not been officially told you can look at. this is very like the experience of being trapped inside a point-and-click adventure except that instead of being limited in your investigation by the constraints of the game mechanics, you are instead limited in your investigation by the court officers herding you around like ducks with their long wooden Official Court Staffs
