Dealing With Stupid People [Tuesday, July 31, 2nd period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Today, you will deal with real people, so keep your eye rolling to a minimum, please," Josh said as the students assembled in the Danger Shop. "We will be working...retail!" he said, clapping his hands together.

The Danger Shop turned into a sandwich store of a chain that might be familiar to some of you, oh yes. "Half of you will be working behind the counter. The other half of you will be the incredibly irritating customers. Ask how long a foot-long sandwich is! Demand a sandwich with everything except most of the ingredients! Wonder why a sandwich shop doesn't serve Mexican!" Josh's grin turned positively evil. "And you customer service types--remember to smile. And, um, not to punch anyone."

Faile did not laugh. "It couldn't have been the pie," she said in apparent shock at the suggestion. "My hair is not pink. Other people in the common room ate some. The only other person I know with pink hair is my roommate and hers isn't glittery." She examined his hair with a slight tilt of her head. "It is very sparkly, isn't it? It looks nice." She grinned at John.

She seemed too calm. "You know who did this, don't you?" John wondered what he had possibly done to call for a prank this...visible.

Faile straightened up and lifted her chin. "Of course I do," she said in her most regal tone. "I was told the color would wash out soon."

Crickets? No, just John's jaw hitting the floor. His eyes were oddly wide. "Wait! You did this to me? Why? What did I ever do to you?" John exclaimed. He did't expect his own little sister to be so cruel.

"You made me do that dating at the bar," she reminded him. "I wasn't allowed to punch you so you get pink hair instead."

"..." John was speechless with shock and anger. He rubbed his hands through his pink, glittery hair. "You couldn't just have punched me in my room last night?"

Faile looked maybe the tiniest bit uncomfortable now. "This was suggested to me first. As a non-violent solution."

"I'd say the color's pretty violent," John snarked. "Who suggested it?" He crossed his arms in front of him.

"I'm not going to tell," Faile replied.

John glared, "Why not?"

"Because they did it for me, ultimately," Faile told him, crossing her arms in front of her. "You want someone to blame, you can blame me."

"Fine! Just be prepared for retribution," he replied with an evil glimmer in his eye. He pointed at his hair again, "This means war."

Faile smirked. "I don't know why you are so upset. It's very pretty."

He stared at her, "It's pink."

Faile blinked innocently at him. "You don't like pink?"

"Not really, no," he smirked.
