Food Appreciation [Class One, Period #3]

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

When the students came into the classroom today they would notice that it was set up like a usual classroom except for a loooooooong table in the front of the room. It was covered in all sorts of food. Seriously. A ridiculous amount of food. Marshall was standing beside it, eying the food hungrily. He couldn't wait until it was time to eat. When it looked like everyone was in the room, Marshall tore his attention away from the food and onto the students.

"Hi guys. For those of you who don't know, I'm Marshall Eriksen and this is Food Appreciation," he said with a smile. "This class is exactly what it sounds like. We're here to appreciate food. I tried to make it seem like there's rhyme or reason to this class and we're not just stuffing our faces but...we're here to stuff our faces. Don't tell the principal."



"Your T.A. for this class is Miss. Peters. She's pretty much awesome and she's perfectly capable of taking over the class if I'm not here," he said, smiling over at Francine. "Some of you guys look familiar and some of you are new to me so let's start today with some introductions. Just give me your name, your favorite food and tell me something about yourself. I'll go first. I'm Marshall, and, yes, just call me Marshall. Mr. Eriksen still weirds me out. My favorite food is any type of candy and I'm married to Ms. Aldrin, who is another teacher here. And, um...I've won a slap bet. Okay. Who's next?"

After the introductions Marshall clapped his hands together and pointed at the table of food. "Okay, today we're going to start with the most obvious food to start with: breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day. There is nothing worse than going through a day without breakfast. I guarantee you ninety percent of the time when you run into a grumpy person during your day they are grumpy because they didn't have a good breakfast. Eat it. Every day. It can be simple, some cereal, some fruit, yogurt. You won't regret it."

"Now we've got a ton of breakfast food that I got the cafeteria to mix up. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles..." Marshall said, pointing at the various stuff on the table. "We're also getting New York with the bagels and lox and--ooh, there's a strip steak. Steak and eggs are the best. And oh! For you guys going to college: leftover pizza. Trust me, get used to it. Don't heat it up. You're most likely going to eat it cold."

"Okay, so there's plates and silverware up here and juice, coffee and other drinks in the back," Marshall said. "Get eating. Talk to each other about breakfast food."

Yep. This was going to be the best class ever.

Marshall was kind of a giant but don't worry. He's one of the friendly ones.

Priestly decided he liked this guy.

A lot.

Ned remembered Professor Eriksen from a class before and, despite his ginormous size, really liked him. Put a professor he liked together with food and he was a happy camper.

Alex grinned. She loved this class all ready.

Molly was all for this class--both the eating, and the fact that the teacher didn't seem nuts.

Ohmygod Amber loved this class!

Oh, Jen could totally get behind a class that pretty much did nothing but eat.

This beat her last term at Time Force Academy for stress levels hands down.

Oh yeah, Dean thought. This was definitely the class for him.

No way! No way! No way! No way! No way!

Momoko listened to the lecture, waiting for someone to come out of the walls and tell her it was a dream. She surely was having a fever dream. This was NOT A CLASS WHERE ALL THEY DID WAS EAT!

No way! No way! No way! No way! No way!

Best class ever? Harry was thinking this was a distinct possibility.

Introductions

A must for every first class.

"I am being called Blysse," Firekeeper said. "This is Blind Seer," she added, gesturing to the rather large wolf sitting beside her. "I am liking elk to eat. I am a wolf."

She wasn't really one for conversation.

"My name is Hoshi Sato, and my favorite food is cold soba noodles with soy sauce." It was an acquired taste. Even Hoshi refused to eat them as a little girl.

"And something weird about me is that back home, we have food replicators but I prefer to cook real food. The replicated stuff usually taste a little bit funny."

"I'm Hurley Reyes?" Hurley says. "You might have me down as Hugo, and that's cool, too. I guess... I really like chicken? And I work at the flower shop on Fridays and the Music store on Saturdays."

Priestly was sporting a green mohawk today, and a white and pink t-shirt reading "cat: the other white meat".

"I'm Priestly. I like a roast turkey sub with thousand island and provolone, and, uh. I think people who think Elvis is dead are fooling themselves."

"I'm called Andros, I don't really have a favourite food but I don't mind Chinese food," Andros said, "I come from the planet KO-35, which is located in the Karova Sector,"

"I'm Ned, I' m a senior," Ned started, "and I like to bake pies. Which hasn't changed since the last time I was in your class. I don't really have a favorite. As long as it's sweet. I've gotten more into pies with strawberries in them as of late."

Re: Introductions

"I'm Alex Russo, and I love New York bagels," she explained. Alex missed them, a lot. "I also know how to make just about any kind of sub you'd imagine." Working at her family's sub station helped with that.

"I'm Molly Carpenter," she said, "and my favorite food, at least right now, is pizza with sausage and pineapple. And, um," Molly fidgeted, trying to think of something she could say about herself, "I love really bad movies, especially horror or sci fi ones."

Eat breakfast food

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

And discuss it. Or just talk among yourselves. Marshall is not gonna care as long as you're eating.

Firekeeper went for some pancakes and waffles, mostly because they were unfamiliar but looked interesting.

Blind Seer, perhaps not surprisingly, went after one of the rarer steaks. He pretty much ignored the eggs, though.

Talk to the TA

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Once she pings in.

Re: Talk to the TA

[thatsamilkshake]

The TA was here! And giggling over the fact that Mr. Eri-- Marshall had openly admitted that the class was just about stuffing their faces.

Shockingly? She was really good at that, and would have no trouble helping out anybody who seemed to be having a problem with it.

Talk To Marshall

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Who pretty much pushed his way to first in line at the buffet table and was now stuffing his face.

OOC

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

I don't have any icons of Marshall eating. That's sad.

Well, anyway, a lot of this class is gonna be an excuse for people to ping each other and chat. Play with each other! Not dirty. Or...well...if you want it to get dirty, go back to your damn dorm rooms.

Re: OOC

...you know, the basis of the class is kinda awesome.
