On the vast playground of MNE, some play sports, some build temples, and some do tricks on the swings. Over in the corner, sitting on the planter, is a duo called Homework Help. Kelsey Bisson and Kris Schobert, in their pedestrian life, are lovable intelligent folks, but on the playground they are sorcerers. They chill in their corner speaking a language they made up, giggling at jokes that only they get, and solving riddles of the strangest rhymes. When you approach them, they are happy to include you in their games, but theirs is an unreachable plane. In the end you excuse yourself, step back into the safety zone, and marvel at the cathedrals of their creativity.
