30: Cygnus
"Well," Brick remarked as he strolled onto the stage, "after a very darn long time of doing these rounds, I haven't found a single cat willing to do this constellation. I'm not sure why. Plenty of cats want to do the next constellations, but for some reason this one has no takers. So for the first time, we're taking cats from the audience!"
He looks around in hope, but no paws are raised until a whoop from the audience startles Brick and he looks around nervously. He has just enough time to sigh and whisper "Oh, no." before a flurry of excited questions barrel at him and he's drowned underneath the enthusiasm of Leopard.
"Okay!" she squeals in happiness. "So I'm doing Cygnus, the swan, which is probably where the word cygnet comes from, I love swans, they're awesome, especially baby swans, which are called cygnets, hey cool! I'm doing Cygnus and I love cygnets!!! That's cool! Anyway Cygnus is commonly associated with the myth of Leda. I have a friend named Leda, she's cool, I wonder if she knows about this myth! Hey maybe I should go tell her about it. Eh I'll tell her after. Ooh, I'll tell, two words with double 'l's. I like words. Oh, right, back to Cygnus. Cygnus is commonly associated with Leda—whoops, said that already—who is a Spartan queen. I love the Spartans, they were cool. I bet Leda is cool. It says that Leda and Zeus had twins and Zeus came in the form of a swan. Ew. What's a male swan called? I don't know. Well, I guess he came in the form of a male swan, and then OH WAIT it actually says she had TWO sets of twins. The mortal ones were fathered by her actual husband. Thaaaaat would be awkward!!! And the immortal ones would be fathered by Zeus. EEP. Really awkward!! I don't like Leda as much now, oh well, so that's basically it. I don't have any slides sorry because I volunteered from the audience you're welcome by the way, so yeah bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Dazed and blinking, Brick came back on the stage.
"Normally....we....have....longer....presentations....but....that...was....long...enough." he panted. '"Thank.....you."
The audience claps and a few purrs are smirked to their neighbors. The curtain falls and the screen cuts to black.
