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!"

Design your logo!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shilo glanced up and wondered if this was the girl that Merlin mentioned at the ice cream store the other night. Why the hell not, she decided. "Francine?" she offered, quietly.

Re: Design your logo!

[thatsamilkshake]

Francine looked over at the sound of her name, to see one of the new students. Whom she hadn't talked to that she could remember, but maybe the girl had just picked up her name from the introductions?

"Hi!" she said, with a wave and a smile. "That's me. And you're..." Really quiet, and Francine hadn't picked up her name at all. Gah. "Somebody I haven't met yet!" she finally went with.

Re: Design your logo!

"I'm Shilo," she replied. "Merlin's little sister... person. He told me to keep an eye out for you when I mentioned I was in this class. Sorry if I startled you or anything."

"Oh!" Little was right. Dear God, she was tiny. But Francine wasn't about to start down the same road she'd been with comparing herself to Morgana, because two displays of ridiculous insecurity in one week were entirely too much. "Hi! No, you didn't startle me. I was just trying to decide whether I should use the F after all, or just go with a big cookie for my logo."

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.

Re: Design your logo!

[thatsamilkshake]

Staring. Yes. There was. With italics, even.

Re: Design your logo!

[bitchprince]

Arthur inclined his head at her. "Francine?"

Re: Design your logo!

[thatsamilkshake]

She paused, trying not to sound too incredulous. Everybody had to have a hobby, after all. "Fashion design?"

"The school keeps assigning me these classes," said Arthur, floundering for a bit before catching himself, "...and they're clearly ridiculous."

He just couldn't not do them well. They had been assigned.

Chuck decided to draw something that involved a C and a B that crossed over each other. In purple, of course. He felt that worked for Chuck Bass.

...now that he thought about it that could also stand for Chuck and Blair.

Not that he was thinking about that for real. Just a fleeing "oh, hey!" thought. Really.

Dinah leaned over to look at Chuck's work, examined it thoughtfully. "So you have the super-power of... what?" She grinned. "Super-teasing?"

"You don't need powers if you've got enough money," Chuck said with a smirk. Look at Ratguy. "I can afford cool gadgets."

Re: Design your logo!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Ratguy was psycho. But cool. "This is true. You could probably afford gadgets way better than the bad guy's gadgets. Cars, and planes, and... what kind of weapon would you have?" Dinah asked, doodling the little diamond mesh again.

Re: Design your logo!

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Would a bodyguard to do all the fighting for him count as a weapon?

"Um..." Chuck tilted his head as he tried to think. "Swords are cool looking but, who are we kidding, I can't use one of those. I think I'd have to go with a gun or something since that's the only thing I've ever used."

And he's only used one of those once.

Jo started sketching out a rough devil's trap for a logo.

Fiona didn't have the first idea what to do or how to draw things. She'd never been allowed to draw, not one doodle, and the thought of making herself a logo?

Think of it as a crest.

That helped. The glitter still poofing out of her hair didn't help, but that helped. After a few minutes, she had an idea (she didn't think the woman would like it but she didn't know what else to do) and started: a stylized silver rose.

The whole thing made her angry but it was the one honor she'd been given. It didn't look complete, however. It seemed as if the design was missing something.

Her father's side.

One more thing, then: a gold circle around it with a blue oval at the bottom. There, that (http://i41.tinypic.com/2n7i3rl.jpg) would do it.

Shilo tentatively drew a demonic-looking monkey thing brandishing the letters F and I.

A decidedly sulky Claudia found some black velvet and some very sharp scissors and was working on a large W.

Stupid new nickname.

Kaylee's logo was, if nothing else, very very colorful.

And it had a wrench.

Emma had absolutely no idea what to do for a logo, and no desire for one either, so instead she was doodling some costume ideas and hoping for inspiration.

Momoko stared at the mostly the pink and red fabric that she'd amassed and tried to decide on a personal logo. She didn't actually have one of her own other than the one they'd made in Heroing class and the logo on Blossom's uniform jacket and on her compact was the "P" from the Powerpuff Girls Z team name.

"A heart again?" She reached for a pair of shears and the darkest rose colour. She'd layer hearts in different shades. "And possibly use a flower as the center? I can at least start there. See what Ms Mode thinks."
