I'm not sure how well this will go down. It's not really a story, just an entry on the CS from that wholly remarkable book. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I hope the first comments will give a clue!
Entry 1: The CS Parasite
The CS is a parasite world which latches onto any other world which exists in any of the universes on the probability axis. This parasite world creates a boarding school, called the Chalet School or similar, on the infected world, regardless of local knowledge, or lack thereof, of what a Chalet actually is. These 'Chalet Schools' can be either fictitious or real on the infected world, but whichever the case, a 'Chalet School' can have a deep impact on life on the world. 'Chalet Schools' have the ability to distort time, personality and geographical features in their host world (See EBDism).
A typical Chalet School starts with a very small number of pupils. This then grows over the years to huge numbers, sometimes encompassing whole populations (See the Chalet School on Upsilon Andromedae). Chalet Schools are often also heavily influenced and dominated over their lifetimes by one large family. In one notable instance, a Chalet School was eventually attended and staffed entirely by clones of the founder. *On the planet of Upsilon Andromedae, the Chalet School became such a large entity, it eventually took over the entire planet. The loss in economy and defence of the planet resulted in it's destruction by the Silastic Armourfiends of Striterax.*
Chalet School generally instil a certain set of values within their pupils - these are considered 'good' by the staff, and 'ridiculously Naïve and short-sighted' by the rest of the known universe. Chalet Schools also generally develop good relationships with medical services on the infected world. *On the planet of Mu Arae, the extensive Chalet School became known as 'The Doctor's Utopia' due to the tendency of pupils and staff to provide sexual comfort to any doctors on the planet.*
One recurring figure in all Chalet Schools is the 'Joey'. No matter when this figure appears in the timeline, by the time the parasite abandons its host, the Joey will be considered the most important figure in the history of the respective Chalet School and all significant events will have been attributed to it. Contradicting the Joey on events in its respective school is one of the most dangerous pastimes in the known galaxy - trying to blind a Vogon with a blunt stick while listening to it recite self-composed poetry is a safer bet for those wishing to stay alive.
It is unknown what the maximum life of a Chalet School on a host world is. Several times, the parasite has left its host world seconds before its destruction. When the parasite leaves, all traces of the Chalet School are erased from the host world. This sudden removal of what can be very large parts of a planet's history have been the cause of several major wars (See the Grebulon War). The ability of the parasite to avoid destruction with its host in this way has led to the theory that the CS is, in fact, immortal. Opinion is divided, however, on whether its immortality is God-like or Devil-like. Certain philosophers, government officials, Guide researchers and random people you met last night on the street have, however, noted that God and the Devil are just two different views of the creator. This of course, has led to the further theory that the CS parasite must therefore be the creator of the probability axis and therefore all known universes.
Edits - many various little things which are just trying to improve the entry in general
. There may be more on certain aspects of the CS universe if I get my act together.
