The Elements of Friendship, Thursday, Period 3

[locointhecoco]

When the students entered the Danger Shop today, they'd find themselves in a Grecian styled city made entirely of clouds, which were somehow thick and fluffy enough to perfectly support their weight. Little rainbow arrows pointed the way through the city to a central square, where Pinkie sat in the basket of a pink hot air balloon flying level with the cloud cover ground.

"Hi everypony!" she called once it seemed like they'd all made it to the square. "Welcome to Cloudsdale, the home of the pegasus ponies, including my very good friends, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy! They couldn't make it today, of course, what with this really really really not actually being Cloudsdale at all, but I'm sure they won't mind if we hang out for awhile, anyway!

"In Equestria, the clouds are the very extra-special homeland of all the flying creatures, from pegasus ponies and griffons to bats and flamingos! Only creatures with wings can walk on and manipulate the clouds. Which is why today, all of you get your very own pair of wings!"

She gestured to one side, where sets of various wings attached to backpack straps were hanging from a wall of cloud pillars. There were all sorts of moddable wings, from pegasus pony wings to bat wings to dragon wings to lizard wings to insect wings and everything in between. They came in all sorts of colors and sizes, too, so the students could pick the ones they liked the best.

"Of course, getting to fly and hang out on clouds comes with its own responsibilities! Pegasus ponies are the ones who make the weather, right over there in the weather factory! That's where they make rainbows and rain clouds and thunder storms and snow flakes and everything! Well, not sunshine. Sunshine's a whooooole different deal. But if it's got to do with clouds, you can bet you'll find it in there!

"So come on, everypony! Let's get shakin' and make some bacon!" She blinked. "I mean, weather! Woo!"

Ethics [Thursday, January 26, 2012, 1st period]

[sith_happened]

One of the occupational hazards of living with a politcal blogger was being forced to sit through the State of the Union address for a country Anakin cared about but, let's be frank, wasn't overly emotionally invested in.

At least it helped to come up with his next discussion in Ethics class?

"Hello, class," he said, beginning to speak once the speakers stopped broadcasting Chloe's radio. "Today we're going to talk about the ethics involved with money. Are there things that money shouldn't buy--elections, perhaps, or people? Do those sorts of transactions happen in your dimension anyway?"

Life of the Sea, Thursday, Period 2

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

"I thought today we could watch a short documentary film on sea life, and see first hand how some marine life coexist together and cooperate to survive, while other species feed on weaker ones to continue living," Summer began.

"Feel free to take some notes on it. Next week, we'll discuss different types of plant life, how they survive in the depths of the ocean and what creatures use them as a food source to survive."

[OCD is a go!]

Superheroing 101, Thursday, Period 4

[electrocynic]

"Today's topic is super teamwork," Electroclash announced once most if not all of the students had made their way into the room they were meeting in this week. It was a regular classroom, and she was standing up front with a projector. By the look on her face, the topic seemed to be particularly displeasing to her, but wasn't that always the case? "Which I think is a load of bollocks but the SPA want it covered and apparently they're spying on me through the radio like utter creeps so I guess I have to."

Your dedicated teacher, ladies and gentlemen.

She sighed. Heavily. Then she got out a paper with a big SPA logo on it, and consulted that for the next bits. "So this is different from having a sidekick. We're gonna get to that later. This class is about teaming up with another superhero, whereas working with a sidekick is about getting stuck with some whiny kid who's basically a glorified assistant." ... Okay so she may have been ad libbing some of the stuff. "I was in a superteam once ––"

The SPA mandated projector had about five seconds to show the front cover of the first and only issue of Ladytrouble's comic book before Electroclash snapped in her electronic voice, "|Projector don't work.|" to shut it down. Too bad about the rest of the SPA's slide show.

"–– and it was shit. I don't recommend it. But the SPA wants you to consider it so I've divided you into teams and I need you to think about team names and what your joint shtick is that makes it seem like you weren't just randomly assigned into groups. Extra credit is both are equally stupid."

Ladytrouble because they were both ladies (well, women) and caused trouble, see? Sigh. It had been She-Force's idea in the first place, yes.

"Right. The teams are as follows: Flamemover with Average Girl, Invisihair with G.I. Blast, The Flying Sycophant with Magic Slicer, Magicka with Ghost Hotline, Imagilad with Excelsor Jr. and Guardiangifted with Emotion Taxi and Slightly Less Average Boy." Yeah, she was going to keep using those names. (Sorry, Raven.) And no, she didn't care whether all of the named students were actually present or not. "Get to work."

[Wait for the OCD is a go!]
