fandomhigh | How to Be a Complete Bitch Without Really Trying, Workshop 7, Period 2 (Monday, August 18)

Class! Class, this week was very exciting! Were they excited, children? They should be! Today was a very special day! Today was their final! Wasn't that right, Jean-Paul?

"Indeed, Mademoiselle Bell," Jean-Paul agreed. "Today is your final." They should be very excited indeed! They were almost done with Jean-Paul and Tink! "And we have a very special final in store for you. It should be an excellent test of whether you have truly learned the way of the bitch, is that not right, Mademoiselle Bell?"

It should! It also contained random humiliation, which, in Tink's mind, was just as important for a final. Because teachers should get to laugh at their students a lot. Why else would one teach? It certainly wasn't for the money. Did the children have any idea what they got paid, here? Here was a hint: not much.

"It is true, we do not. Do not go into education, children. The pay is horrible and you have to deal with, well, you. When you are thirty looking back at yourselves as teenagers, you will agree with me." Was Jean-Paul being bitchy? Yes. He also believed he was one hundred percent right. "Now, your final will be simple. Complete the tasks assigned to you in the proper fashion, and you are done."

Of course, that was only simple for people with full, functioning brains, so Tink wasn't too convinced that all of their students could pull it off, but at least the failures would be entertaining. Tink had a martini and would be keeping score and videotaping anything that looked particularly useful for blackmail purposes. Had Jean-Paul noticed how rich this island was, for blackmail possibilities?

"I have!" Jean-Paul said happily. "Truly, it is a wonderful place. Unless you are the one being blackmailed." They would not speak of the weekend everyone was a pony. Ever. "But remember, children, after the blackmail possibilities, you are done!" That meant they never had to see JP and Tink again! Unless they needed clothes. Or got stuck in one of his classes. But other than that!

And that was a very, very good thing indeed. Now shoo! Off with you! Time to final!

"What seems to be the problem, Miss?" a...librarian? Yes, a librarian, asked. "And could you keep it down a bit. You're being very disruptive."

"DisRUPTive?!?!?" Agnes screeched. "DISRUPTIVE?!?! I'm not the one being DISRUPTIVE around here!!! Look at my room! Just look at it! The lighting is sallow, the tea is COLD -- and not enough lemon, I might add -- and one of the floorboards SQUEAKS. I just... I can't go on in these conditions! It's barbaric! I thought yours was supposed to be an ELEGANT opera house!!!"

"Well, Miss, and really, could you keep it down? You're going to bother the other performers--isn't part of the charm of a lovely old opera house like this the creaky floorboards and strange lighting? And I'm sure the tea is just fine, but if you'd like I can get some fresh."

"I'm going to... I'M going to bother THEM?!?! I think not! And that tea isn't fit for HOGS! If you can't brew a proper cuppa, then go find a decent tea shop, because I'm not drinking that..."

She put a hand to her forehead and swooned. "Ohhh... Oh, my... I don't feel well... I... I can't go on in these conditions... I..."

Agnes "lost consciousness" and collapsed, although she did manage to somehow drape herself elegantly over a convenient chair on the way down.

"Miss?" the woman asked. "Miss, are you all right?"

Agnes groaned and slowly opened her eyes. Really, it was much more fun being on THIS side of the performance. "I... I think maybe I could... I could be all right... If my dressing room weren't a disaster..." she gasped hoarsely, before "passing out" again.
