One would think that Bolin would have learned by now. Kemekin never could be content with a pretty poster with labels and glued-on pictured and shit. Oh no. He wanted to actually make something. He liked to use his hands, and he liked to use them to their potential.
So when Bolin assigned his class a new project, Kemekin pounced on the opportunity to play around with possible shows of creativity.
The assignment: select a recognized phobia, and design a project that brings that phobia into perspective.
Kemekin had selected paedophobia with much glee, and sat on the floor at the far end of the Student Lounge, working diligently on his project.*
Bring paedophobia into perspective? Check.
Kemekin cackled and added another leg.((*click. it.))

Kathy was heading on past the student lounge on her way between the gym and the dorms when she saw the thing. No; at first, she just saw something, like a fey vision, a glance into some other world, populated by alien horrors. A pale ghost made substantial by the hands of a madman.
She paused and took a step backward, too entranced to let that vision go. Its form... was a thing of art.
"Ooooh," she said, peering wide-eyed in from the doorway.

Kemekin heard someone... er. Well, not speak, but it was a vocalization. He sat upright and arched an eyebrow, another plastic arm held in one hand.
"Hallo," he said automatically. The girl was cute. He held up the plastic arm and used it to wave at her.

Kathy laughed brightly and leaned forward, tugging her gym bag further up on her shoulder. She hated to disturb the guy, but how would you learn how it worked if you didn't stay and watch? Sure, you could just take a seat somewhere and stare at them, maybe get some popcorn, but it wasn't the same. For one thing, she preferred getting to know people before making them doubt their sanity.
"Hi. Some... something you got there. What is it?"

Kemekin grinned and held up the centipede-baby. "A psychology project," he said innocently. Then that innocence melted into mischief. "I don't like just making posters. I'm almost done, if you want to come look at it. It just needs another arm or two. Maybe some ketchup splattered on it to simulate gore."

Kathy stalked up to it and walked around the side before crouching down to take a closer look.
"You know, I bet the kitchen has corn syrup. Or you could make chocolate blood," she pondered, "and make some sort of statement out of it about archetypes and neo-Aztecan symbolism. If you wanted, I mean."
She smiled up at him. "It looks good; and it's really creative. I hope you get a decent grade."

"Neo-Aztecan... It's a paedophobia representation, my dear," he explained. Then he grinned. "Thanks. Heh, I better get a good grade. Or else I'll have to work extra hard on the next project. And I don't know how much further I can push Professor Honghui before he pushes me. Out a window."

"Tch. I'll just have to use that one myself, then." She tapped her lip. "And don't call me dear until we've gotten a chance to know each other better, if you please."
"My name is Kathy. You have to be Kemekin Evans-Barros. What have you been doing in that poor man's class?" she said with a smirk.

Kemekin smiled. "My bad," he apologized. "Sorry, Kathy."
"Yeah, I am. Good call." Again with that mischievous grin. "Taking advantage of every loophole in every assigned project. My goal is to have him tearing his hair out by the end of the semester."

"Really. Is this something you do to all your teachers, or just him?" She grinned. "You'd think a really good teacher would appreciate this kind of creativity, though. Not everybody's going to put this much effort into really learning freshman psych."
"Maybe I should take this class next year." She sat down with her knees curled up to her chest and crossed her arms in front of them. "They're a little sparse on the social sciences here. Oh- do you actually need any help, or am I just rattling on?"

"Bah. He's a good teacher. I dislike him for different reasons." He shrugged.
"I definitely recommend taking the class. It's probably one of my favorites. But I'm biased towards Professor Yogo's classes, anyway."

She raised an eyebrow. "What does the English teacher have to do with it? I don't get it."
