Star Wars - Episode 3
Actor : Yoda
Set : My ANatomy lab
Props : Anakin Skywalker, Animal Pen
Yoda was furious upon learning that Anakin skipped his Jedi training and locked him inside an animal pen at the lobby on my anatomy lab. Anakin felt like he's an animal in the zoo (动物园) but chose to be positive and started planting flowers around him.Mandarin Blueprint

Guan Yu is in the kitchen in the -an set thinking about how best to design a novel city park. He starts with imagining an animal pen and of course within that there is space for people to throw their yuán coins in for good wishes. This will help offset the cost for the park. “Yes, this is how it should be done” Guan Yu thinks.

Freya (from Norse Mythology) is in the kitchen if my DORMITARY IN JAPAN. Having just cleaned up the place she gestures to the students to go to the PARK to find out more about her nature (Fertility), only it's a long way from where they are. Freya insists they one by one touch her GREEN FLAG which activates a FORCE FIELD before they're instantly transported to the PARK.
