Relaxing For Dummies [Thursday, Second Period]

[wrongkindofsith]

The classroom was pretty much set up as per usual with too many pillows, but there was a television to let everyone know it was a classic movie day.

"I got to pick the movie this week," Jane said brightly. "Since Cara picked last time. And I went with a classic."

"And extremely...relaxing sounding classic." Cara totally didn't sound like she wanted to use a different word than relaxing. Totally.

"You'll like it," Jane promised. "So everyone settle in."

"And prepare to be...relaxed."

So You're New To The Multiverse....; Friday, First Period [03/14].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer had honestly been planning on using her most recent life experience dealing with other dimensions' Summers as a whole part of a team and what not for a lesson, especially leading into things like dopplegangers or whatever, but to be honest? She was so annoyed with some of those other Summer right now that she decided it was easier, mentally, for her to just focus on a point in her life when dealing with other Summers was much more simple, and all they did was try to kill her.

So the class was meeting in the danger shop classroom simulator yet again, but things were markedly different. The base of it was all the same....general classroom setting, really, but things had very clearly been abandoned and overtaken by nature for a while now: moss and plants clinging to the dark, dank corners, branches weaving through the windows and across the ceiling, chairs and desks looked worn and weather with time and likely termites. And Summer had meticulously wiped away a small section of the teacher's desk at the front of the classroom so that she could sit on it without getting her white pants too dirty, and then smiled a little at the students.

"We're honing in one a specific dimension again," she said. "This here is a simulation of what could be any sort of post-humanity sort of dimensional apocalypse; Nature has reclaimed what is rightfully hers, and everything we people built are long, long gone. This dimension in particular, though, is actually based on another version of my dimension, where all of humanity with the exception of those of my own family's bloodline, were turned into horrible monsters straight out of a David Cronenberg movie, all because my asshole little brother thought it would be a good idea to try and love potion a girl during flu season, and it got out of hand and infected everyone, and now we have a version of my reality where literally everyone except my family are horrible mutated monsters.

"I mean," she added, "I could go on on why love potions are creepy and gross and you shouldn't do it, but could also destroy all of humanity is also a pretty good reason, too. Now, in my dimension, this all happened up to the point of the flu season meaning everyone got infected by the love potion, but the solution resolved in a very different way, when my grampa just made an antidote, ba-da-bing, bada-boom, everyone was better, but the antidote in this dimension clearly did not work, which is another example of the whole butterfly effect of it all, that it only takes one minor little detail to just change everything, and that leads into the whole concept that there truly are infinite possibilities out there in the multiverse, based on the tiniest things, like, every choice you make is like creating a whole plethora of possibilities and dividing the multiverse into even more separate parts.

"Which, you know, can be a lot. So, today, if you want to go out and explore a little bit of a world where literally everyone except for three people were completely transformed into what could arguably be a new form of humanity, I definitely encourage it, or we can just sit around and talk about it a little bit, and speculate on how we all could just be someone's bad decision away from a total dismantling of civilization, which, you know, is a nice, cheerful topic for a Friday morning, right?"

Potatoes!, Friday, Second Period

[carbsliftthespirit]

"It's a beautiful day, my friends," Raiden greeted his class today, "because today we are going to combine potatoes with one of their very best friends: cheese." Was that the heavenly choir singing or was it just in his head? Probably the latter. Angels weren't much for singing at fun moments where he was from.

Actually, he wasn't sure they knew what fun was. Sad.

Anyway! "That's right: today we're gonna make (and then eat) a beautiful potato gratin, which is a dish of thinly sliced and layered potatoes and onions, topped with a creamy, gorgeous cheese sauce. What could be better? Now, you have a couple of options for how to slice your veggies. You can use a knife, of course, but not everybody's knife skills are up to getting thin, uniform slices of potato, and that's okay! That's why someone invented the mandoline, although if you do go that route I'm gonna have to insist you wear the cut-proof gloves I provided, because it's easy to get in a groove and suddenly need a trip to the ER. But let's get started on making our delicious cheesy potatoes!"

Cupcake Wars (Yes, Again), Friday 3/14, 3rd period

[stykera]

“Today is pi day,” Stark said. “Which is a number not a dessert but people eat the dessert but this is not a pie class this is a cupcake class so we won’t be making pies today. But I encourage you to eat pie later. I even brought some tiny pies with me if anyone wants some.”

If not, he knew some people who would probably appreciate them.

“It’s also almost St. Patrick’s Day which is a holiday I still don’t entirely understand but it celebrates someone getting rid of snakes and also being Irish. There’s a lot of green. People eat corned beef but I am not Summer and I did not bring corned beef or cabbage to put in any cupcakes.”

If you wanted to do that on your own time, go ahead. You didn’t have Stark’s blessing to do such a thing but you certainly didn’t need it.

“I did bring green things. So we can have green cupcakes in honor of Monday. Green food coloring, of course, and green fruits, green candies, mint, some herbs if you want to go that route…I think I’ve covered nearly everything but there must br things I haven’t thought of. So, make something green or Irish. Oh. I have irish cream liqueur too.”

Stark waved a hand at all the things set out to be used.

“I think I’ll do something lime and something with the irish cream.”
