20th Century Food Crimes, Cont. - Friday 7/14 - Period 1

[stykera]

It would seem that Summer's usual manic….let's call it charm...that she brought to the class weekly was a little diminished that week, but that didn't mean that she wasn't at least trying to put out the same enthusiastic energy for gross and disgusting and weird food choices of the past that she usually had.

Funny, that. Stark was still rather subdued at this point in the week as well. Not enough that he wasn’t here and watching Summer with the usual respectful interest and mild terror.

"Today," she announced with a lofty lift of her chin, "we'll be focusing on a very simple, very useful, very versatile, as you're about to see, ingredient, one loaded with nutrients, so any time you can squeeze it into something, all the better for you, right? Right! And that ingredient is the incredible, edible egg!"

Cue Summer holding up an open carton of them in case anyone needed the visual reminder of exactly what an egg was, or maybe it was just sort of a vague threat that she did, in fact, have eggs, and she knew how to use them in terrible ways.

“Eggs,” Stark repeated, narrowing his eye suspiciously. That seemed far too tame for a food crime class. “I’m worried, now.”

"This week's culinary evidence will come in the form of a curried egg pie, a hot tuna and egg sandwich, and, of course, eggs en gelee. That's a fancy word for jello.""

“Summer.” Stark was giving her a very disappointed look. Those poor eggs didn’t deserve this! Neither did Stark. Or the students. Hadn’t Ignis suffered enough?

(Clearly not).

Movie night, Friday

"So, um. I had a request for action movies, and another for foreign movies, and...well, this was one that came up? So hopefully it'll work for everyone. It's in French if you speak that, or else there are English subtitles. Also I have plenty of popcorn."

Also he had a cat. Issa was batting a piece of popcorn around the floor like the dignified lady she was.

"So, enjoy I suppose."

Jon shrugged and pressed Play and sat down.

Getting Out of Scrapes - Fast, Friday

[suitably_heroic]

This time around, they met at the Danger Shop. And found themselves... inside a mall. There were bags at the entrance that read 'grab me'.

Once they had grabbed one and made it all the way inside, they'd find Atton standing in front of the local Hot Topic, his hands stuck in the pockets of his jacket.

"Let's start this off simple, shall we?" he said.

A loud alarm started screaming.

"The cops will be here in thirty seconds," he said, "You have to get outside and out of sight before they arrest you. Have fun!"

For some measure of 'fun', anyway.

Library - Friday

[onlyajones]

Jo was not running late this week as she turned up for her library shift but when she turned up at the library she noticed immediately that something was wrong. She noticed that a large section of the library seemed to have just vanished. It also turned out that all the books she had to put away were from the shelves that had seemingly disappeared so the books so after a brief attempt at trying to reshelve the books that she to put back, she eventually gave up and sat down at the front desk instead.
