Culinary Fundamentals; Friday, First Period [04/16].

[chef_chocobro]

Due to a good amount of restraint even in the face of leather-begotten discounts, Ignis had kept his drinking moderate last night, for which he was glad for, because today was going to be a very...special day in the Culinary Fundamentals classroom. Today was the sort of day that Ignis would hold up forever as proof that he could, in fact, be conciliatory to absurdity on occasion.

Because today they had a guest co-teacher, in the form of a grinning and eager Prompto with a box in his hands, and clearly unable to stand still with the sheer anticipation for what they were about to do.

But first...

"Good morning," Ignis greeted them with a nod, "I hope this week went a little more smoothly for everyone than the last, and I'm pleased to tell you that we'll be doing a very special activity for today's class that will hopefully actually get you thinking a little bit about next's week's class, which will be our final class, so before we get into today, a word about your final exam:

"Your task, if you choose to accept it, which I certainly hope you do since it is an assignment, after all, is to pick a recipe of your choosing and prepare it for us in class. It can be anything you'd like, though I will certainly dole out far more points for creativity and difficulty based on your particular range of skills. We should have a wide variety of ingredients at your disposal, but should you need anything particular that's a little off the beaten path, please let me know and I will ensure that it will be available to you for class next week. That's it. Bringing in a recipe, prepare it for the class, and put those skills that you've hopefully acquired in our time together to good use. If there are any questions, please let me know, and, in the meantime, we'll get onto today's activity, which should hopefully be just a bit of pre-exam fun, and for which I'll turn the attention over to our guest today, whom some of you may already know, but for those who don't, this is my colleague and former Fandom student himself, Prompto Argentum. Prompto?"

The eager, nervous grin blossomed on Prompto's face as the floor was turned over to him. "Hey, guys," he said, then nodded to Ignis. "Thanks, Ignis. Boy, have we got something really special for you today, because today iiiissssss....."

He took a moment to cup his hands over his mouth and doot out a little fanfare.

"Cup Noodle^TM Day!"

Please, everyone just ignore Ignis pinching the bridge of his nose and wanting to just disappear down a hole of quickly diminishing culinary integrity. Oh, the things he did for his friends...

"Now," said Prompto, oblivious to any withering prestige beside him, and thrilled to continue, "for those of you who don't know, Cup Noodle^TM is an instant noodle soup that is popular as a quick and easy snack or meal across the multiverse! It's definitely a favorite among me and my crew, but even I'll admit, sometimes, the simplicity of the convenience of it all leads something to be desired. But here's the thing! It's, like, super easy to do things to really amp up that already delicious Cup Noodle^TM experience by adding your own ingredients and seasonings! Like, want more meat? Bam, grill up some steak and throw it in. Put an egg in it! Add some fresh veg or maybe a sprinkling of cheese or some bomb sauces, and you're really going to elevate an already amazing food to totally the next level! So that's what you're going to do today!"

Was that a particularly smarmy smirk being directed at a certain sister in the classroom assuming she was there? Maaaaaybe.

Prompto flipped open the box.

"We've got all sorts of different varieties and flavors in here, so come on up, pick out your Cup Noodle^TM, and let's see what you can make of them!"

Advanced Phys Ed: Xtreme Edition, Friday

[magnusrushesin]

The danger shop was set up with giant as hell pillows and little blankie scattered about. Because somehow they'd make even napping into an extreme sport.

You knew this would happen, right?

"It's naptime!" Magnus said way too loud.

"The most important part of napping is having a secure location to nap," Cara said. Which was the reason she was constructing a pillow fort. Shut up.

"Defensible," Magnus added. "Sturdy. Comfy. Lots of these things."

He was building a sort of pillow-based exosuit for his own comfort.

"Ammunition for when someone tries to disturb you." That explained the extra pile of pillows Cara had.

"So, get to building and first one napping gets an A!" Magnus said. Competitive napping. Aw yeah.

Intro to Performing Arts | Friday, 2nd Period

[defenderofdesmoines]

Did Annie seem a little irritated today? Good, because she was, because she had had a traumatizing morning, thank you so much for asking, everyone.

"Reminder that next week is your final, and that you should be working on your acts," she greeted everyone fairly tersely as they filed into the room, which had been made up like a theater dressing room this time. "You'll have a bit of time today to practice, but I had kind of a fun thing to do today, since it's near the end of the semester and all." Which was a good thing, since while Annie was sure she could get back here for an hour or so next Friday for the final, she was not all that confident that Vought would allow that on a continuing basis. "We're doing stage makeup."

And, again, normally she'd probably be more enthusiastic about that, but this morning.

She took a moment to demonstrate old age makeup on one half of her face and gave herself some masculine characteristics on the other half. Which, seriously, would have probably been pretty amusing if she hadn't been all annoyed today. "Feel free to play around with makeup on yourself or a partner -- I can help if you want to do, like, gore or clown makeup or something, too."

Or at least she could look it up on her phone and punt it.
