The Elements of Friendship, Thursday, Period 1

[locointhecoco]

Any students who made it to class today would find the Danger Shop set up like a cozy, barn-loft-ish room with hardwood floors and a long, cheerfully decorated table. In fact, the whole place was done up with balloons and streamers and there was a giant, multiteared cake at the head of the table.

"Surprise!" shouted Pinkie. "Everyone's been having such a super terrible time of it lately, I thought it best that we just relax and have ourselves a little cheer. And what better way to be cheery than with a party?"

This might seem a bit inappropriate but not all that strange -- ( except that Pinkie's hair was dead straight and her eyes weren't quite tracking. )

This could not be good.

[Party is partially taken from 1x25, "Party of One". Pinkie doesn't react well to stress.]

Tropes and Scope [Thursday, period 3]

It was an exhausted-looking Belle who greeted the class today. "Good morning. I hope none of you are missing anyone vital at home, but if you are, please accept my sympathies. My father's -- " She cleared her throat, shaking her head. "I've never seen anything like this before. And frankly, I'm having difficulty putting together a class, and I can't imagine you're concentrating well as a class, either."

She perched on the edge of her desk, and continued. "So, for today, I'd like to talk about how we deal with the extraordinary in real life, as opposed to literature. How characters face phenomena like this. And loss." She shook her head, and added, "And if there's anything else you want to talk about -- the missing, or your thoughts right now, we can talk about that, too."

Sensitivity Training, Thursday

Guy looked just as surly as always when class arrived today. Possible more so thanks to current events. "If you haven't noticed something is going on, you probably live in a cave." One without cable.

The horror.

"So, we're gonna discuss how to handle yourself when something like this happens." A beat. "Sensitively, I guess."

There, the class title still held true! If you squinted and tilted your head to the side just a little bit.

"First of all, if you can fight back, you sure as hell better be," he said with a dork nod. Oh, if only the power of loooove could defeat the Nothing! He'd totally be set. "Just sittin' back and accepting your 'fate' doesn't help anyone. Even if you're out numbered and out gunned, you just find more people to help you fight."

Just ask a Flash! Oh, Superboy Prime, you dick.

"Anyone else got somethin' to add?"
