Home Ec [first period, Tuesday]

Today, it wasn't Emma Frost standing at the front of the room - it was a different, much more clothed and tired-looking blonde.

"Um, hi," she said with a nervous little wave. "My name's Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham. You can just call me Hannelore. Ms. Frost isn't feeling too swift, so she handwavey asked me to sub for her. Um. I've never done this before, so here's hoping I don't suck too badly."

"So, um," she continued, "she just left us a couple notes. We're going over cleaning and tidying and vacuuming and...." Hannelore gave a happy little sigh. "Okay, this is something I'm really good at. We're going to clean the classroom. There are vacuum cleaners, and just a few cleaning products in the back."

Hannelore pointed, where there was a plethora of vacuums, mops, Swiffers, sponges, and a seemingly-endless supply of cleaning fluids. Best not to ask how many of those came from Hannelore's apartment.

"All right, I brought you guys some stuff," she said, pulling out a huge box of HazMat suits and gasmasks. "I didn't bring all my supplies, but I don't want you guys to get sick!"

Not that they'd actually become ill cleaning the classroom.

"You can pick what you want to do. Oh, and this is Winslow," Hannelore said, pointing to an oversized iPod sitting on the desk. Winslow waved. "He's here to help me."

Hannelore kind of waved at the group. "Okay. Go. I'll be around and stuff if you need me." She then dug a set of suction cups out of her bag, strapped a belt equipped with several cleaning products around her waist, and climbed onto a table. Then with a little hop, she was on the ceiling, where she began to scrub.

[Wait for OCD, please]

"No artistic appreciation," River commented.

"Heathens," Dawn nodded, "Someday they will regret the wanton destruction of a Tam and Summers holy water and dust painting."

Let go of it? Did someone yell that? Annette tried to look around but that so did not work, so she did what she thought she heard. She let go of the rabid machine and it shot forward and she fell back on her butt, swiping her gas mask off her head.

"It's freakin' possessed!" She yelled and desperately looked around for Hannelore.

"Our artwork will be remembered as the lost painting of Berthold with his first unicycle. Few will have seen it. A legend." She picked up the mop again. "If we mop this part clean we can add some dust as a painting instead."

"Oooh, okay, let's do that." Dawn agreed. She liked talking to River. River didn't think she was strange.

"Um, okay...are you okay up there?" Layla asked nervously.

River didn't think 'strange' was a useful category when deciding on the character of people. She found Dawn creative and clever, not constrained by useless conventions. That was a good trait, of course.

Digging in one of her pockets she found a handful of pink glitter mixed with dust. "And we can add this."

Setsuna's actually attempting to take notes. That are neat and organized, but it wasn't working very well.

Ooooh, look. Setsuna could sweep pretty well. She'd won battles with just a broom before; so conquering a floor wouldn't be difficult at all.

And wasn't using minor Shinmei Ryuu wind techniques channeled through the broom to help push stuff along at all. Really.

"Where'd you get the glitter?" Dawn asked, moving some chairs out of the way so they'd have a bigger "canvas."

Tyler tilted his head waaaaay back. "Hi," he said. "I'm usually the TA, but I was kind of stuck in a locker, so ... sorry you had to cover."

River shrugged. "Must have picked it up somewhere. Glitter seems to show up in strange places here."

They needed more than just a handful of glitter however. River brought the half-full bag from one of the hovers, a grin on her face. "Plenty of dust!"

Tyler grabbed a mop and started cleaning. Or possibly just pushing dirt around. It was hard to tell.

Dawn grinned back. "So, dust with accents of glitter?"

"Dunno," Tyler said. "I reached to close it last Wednesday and got sucked into this ... classroom place. I had to finish a test that was like the PSAT times 500 before I could go."

"Oh. Never heard of one that wasn't from a leviathan. But that must be useful to have around."

River nodded and handed Dawn the bag. "Dust away."

"On a few of them," Tyler said. "And then I tried to draw a skull out of some others. But the test sheet was weird, it wouldn't let me goof off."

"You got stuck there too?"

Stark eyed the gasmasks and HazMat suits warily, wondering why exactly anyone would think those were necessary just for cleaning. The he shrugged, hoped nobody ended up dead of cleaning, and picked up a sponge and went after possibly imaginary dirt on a desk.
