56: Norma

Brick doesn't seem high anymore because CoS is a PG-13 channel, despite Dusky's non-sequitur of our not-so-solid policy.

Ahem.

Back to the chapter...

Brick waved his tail as he padded back onto the stage. "Welcome back to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars!" he called to the ground with a broad smile flashing in his eyes. He adjusted his bowtie before continuing. "Today we have the renowned astronomer, Brownfur, here to present his favorite constellation!"

Brick stepped off the stage, letting a small brown tom pad out onto the stage.

Brownfur looked rather nervous as he glanced down at his notecards. "He-hello. my name is Brownfur, and I'm a renowned astronomer." His voice seemed to have the special quality of putting any cat asleep. "I'll be presenting the constellation of Norma to you."

"I'm sorry, but I didn't know we had to prepare a powerpoint, so I'll just be going off my word," Brownfur meowed. "Norma is located in the southern skies. Translating from Latin, it means 'normal', relating to a right angle."

Luckily, none of the listeners seem to be falling asleep. Everything is particularily... normal.

"It was introduced by a French astronomer named Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, during the middle of the eighteenth century. It's the 74th largest constellation, and because it was introduced later, it's not associated with any myths," explained Brownfur. His whiskers twitched.

Is this finally a normal TTLS?

Wow.

I'm shoc-

Suddenly, a large yellow bulldozer bursted through the wall behind the stage. A crack echoed through the room as Brownfur was crushed beneath the wheels. A few cats screamed. One cat jumped up, having been previously asleep.

Brick decided not to bring any more boring cats onto the stage ever again.

Rest in pieces, Brownfur.
Rest in pieces.
