There Will Be Cake [Tuesday, Period Three]

[doubleohblonde]

The temperature in the Danger Shop was leaning towards the uncomfortable side of warm today, though Bond didn't look particularly effected. There were also a number of cheerful red appliances set out along the benches.

"Good afternoon," Bond began. "I'm afraid the Shop seems to have developed a minor fault in the thermostat. But not to worry, because today we'll be making something to help cool down with. Namely ice cream. Though those of you more inclined towards gelato or sorbet can attempt those instead. There's a number of recipes for you to choose from, but feel free to experiment flavourwise."

Friendship 101, Wednesday, period 2

[justlurkinghere]

Today's class could easily have been in a regular classroom, but what fun would that be? Instead, the Danger Shop was programmed to be a giant crafting room, complete with butcher-block shop tables and wall shelves stocked up with every shade of construction paper, markers, puff- and regular pain, and, of course, glitter.

There was even a nice coating of glitter on most surfaces of the room already. Including Pinkie.

And Derek. Oh god why. He was very carefully not touching anything lest more glitter get on him. Somehow. It wasn't possible to be more glittery, but he wasn't taking that chance. "Today we're discussing forgiveness."

With glitter. Because nothing said "I forgive you" more than shiny sparkliness.

"Sometimes, your friends might do bad things without meaning to. Everypony makes mistakes! Even you! It's important when a mistake is made to be able to apologize, and to forgive."

"With a nice card," Derek added through clenched teeth. See, if he was going to ask for forgiveness, it would involve a lot more repression and soulful glances and lot less communication.

It was a wonder he had any friends left. "We have all the craft supplies you need!" Pinkie said. "Just remember, the most important thing about making an apology- or forgiveness-card."

Was it to speak from the heart? It was totally to speak from the heart, right?

"GLITTER!" Pinkie crowed, and threw down a little pink sparkly grenade, that exploded into EVEN MORE sparkly pinkness.

You're welcome.

Supernatural Studies, Wednesday, March 13

[bitten_notshy]

"We're past the halfway point on this class," Jack said -- as if the students might have somehow missed that -- "and we've talked about angels, demons, ghosts, vampires and a few other things. But there's still a whole world of supernatural creatures to explore, and we've barely got time to scratch the surface. So this week, I'd like to take time out to discuss what supernatural creature or phenomenon you'd most like to cover in the next several weeks and why that is. I'll try to fit in at least a few requests."

Jack was, of course, interested in the question. But he was also stalling a bit: He'd tried to come up with a class on lycanthropy, as a logical follow-along to vampires and zombies, and choked every time. Giving himself another week to decide how to present it couldn't possibly hurt.
