Fashion! Releasing Your Inner Superhero, etc. [Thursday, May 14, 1st period]

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

"It is far too early," Edna grumbled as she stomped up to the students assembled in the Danger Shop with a cup of coffee almost as tall as she was. "People in the fashion industry seldom trouble with the bothersome morning hours."

She glanced around at the faces assembled before her. "I am Edna Mode, and you fortunate few have been graced with my presence for the precious time between fashions seasons," she announced. "Because you signed up for this class, you either have grand plans of becoming superheroes or have difficulty reading and understanding long words." Her gaze rested on a few students that she thought that might apply to. "Either way, it is far to much work to get out of taking my course. People pay me thousands of dollars to notice them! Why wouldn't you want to be here?"

She didn't stop to let anyone answer that.

"Today you will tell me your name--" she meant a superhero name, "and your boring alterego name if you have one. If I do not find the names to be suitable, I will give you another one!"

She sniffed. "And after that, you will design a logo for your superhero uniform." A snap from her finger and a logo appeared in midair. She smiled. "I do enjoy this room. This is an interesting logo! It is sleek, it has interesting colors, it has an "I" for Incredible for villains who can read...excellent." She'd designed it. "This is just as interesting. THIS is a crime against people with eyes," she snapped. "It's gaudy and pink and incomprehensible! Bah! Do not do such things!"

She clapped her hands together and tables full of fabric (and yes, more than a little bit of glitter. She'd taken the deluge as a 'we're so glad you're here' thing), piping, and very sharp scissors. "I will be walking around and offering critique on your choices, as will my assistant, Ms. Davis."

She clapped her hands together again. "Begin!"

Introductions!

Awesome superhero name, boring real life name! Go!

[ashockingbitch]

"My name is Jenny Sparks; what the bloody hell do I need another one for?"

Re: Introductions!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Dinah Lance. I mean, that's my real life name, and..." Okay, Black Canary was personal, and she wasn't sure if she should claim it, so maybe another name? Just for now? Like Huntress?

She had a mental image of Helena glaring at her.

"...Batgirl?"

Now she had Barbara giving her a dubious look inside her head. Still easier to take.

"I'm Francine Peters, and, well. My codename was Wallflower, when I really was a superhero for a weekend."

Oh, bloody hell, it was another one of these classes. Arthur had no idea how he'd wound up in this one. "I am Prince Arthur Pendragon," he started, then decided to stop. He was leaving off the of Camelot for the occasion.

He could've gone with the same as in Sir Hammer's class, but honestly, she intimidated him too much to go with Killing Machine.

"I'm Chuck Bass," he said like that his was catch phrase.

Oh, wait. That was his catch phrase.

No, he didn't think he needed another name.

Re: Introductions!

[wannabehunter]

"My names Jo Harvelle," Jo said. "They call me...Hunter." There that was easy enough to remember.

Fiona was utterly mortified. She had no idea what this woman was talking about, nor was she quite sure she wanted to. 'Superhero?' What made them different than a regular hero? And why did she need another name? She clung fiercely to the one she had.

"Fiona Paige Post," she said firmly.

And that was all. She refused to add anything else.

"I-I'm Shilo Wallace, and my superhero name is... is..." Shilo got a blank expression on her face. She had been thinking about this all last night, before she'd fallen asleep! "It's Future Imp. Short for Future Imperfect."

And now it sounded utterly stupid to her.

Emma was already unsettled, what with glitter falling from the sky, and now there was a midget with bad glasses telling them to pick superhero names.

"Frost, darling," she said, posture perfect as she looked at the little woman. "Emma Frost."

Claudia had dressed very carefully for today's class: turquoise stiletto heels, pink poofy miniskirt over paisley leggings, bright yellow tank top layered over a bright turquoise one, and her hair in a long French braid. She looked a little like a box of Crayons come to life.

"I'm Claudia Kishi," she said, "but I guess you can call me the Artist!"

Re: Introductions!

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"I'm Kaylee Frye!" she said excitably. "And, um. Ummmmm. You can call me Lil' Miss Fixit!"

Her daddy called her that sometimes.

"I'm, uh, George Sands," he began. "I... guess you can call me..." George hesitated; all of the obvious names would give way a little too much, he thought. "... Pale Midnight?"

No, he didn't know what he was talking about, either.

"My name is Alice Liddell," she said, folding her hands behind her back. "I must say, I was quite fond of being Queen Alice, though a bit sad I didn't have a color the way the Red Queen and White Queen did."

Re: Introductions!

[heromaniac]

Momoko stepped up cheerfully and gave a small salute. "Real name... Momoko Akatsutsumi! Nice to meet you!" She paused a moment, dropping her arm. "And, uhm, do you want my real other name or a made-up one?"

Design your logo!

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

Don't make it ugly! Enda and Brooke will be wandering around to offer opinions, but feel free to chat with your fellow students as you work.

Re: Design your logo!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah was doodling little diamond mesh (http://www.fabricparadise.com/fabricshop/categories/1/thumbs/tn_fishnet-D469.jpg) designs, while she tried to think of how to draw her logo, through most of class.

She finally came up with a bird of prey (http://www.canarynoir.com/img/icon.gif), or maybe it was a black canary? Stylized a bit, not exactly like the ones on the communicators back home, but still recognizable.

And no, not a bat.

Re: Design your logo!

Jenny owned approximately five frillion clothing items with the Union Jack on them. She didn't understand why she needed a different logo.

Yes, she was going to be difficult.

Re: Design your logo!

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine stared at the logo that Edna didn't like for quite a while, tilting her head this way and that, before twin spots of color rose on her cheeks. Thankfully, she didn't actually say That looks kind of dirty out loud.

Mostly because she immediately ducked her head the second she thought it, and quickly started cutting out the most familiar shape she could think of, which turned out to be a giant red F for Francine.

Or possibly Fail.

Re: Design your logo!

[bitchprince]

The only symbol Arthur had ever needed was the dragon of Pendragon, so beyond a quick sketch of that, he wasn't sure what else to offer up.

He had it in about five different yellow-and-red combinations back in his room.

Talk to Edna!

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

No autographs, darling.

Talk to the TA!

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

Poor Brooke.

OOC

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

Edna is short. Like, three feet tall short, and speaks with a very random Germanish accent.

You know, if you needed to know that.
