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!"

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

Edna glanced at her notepad and then back up at Jenny. "You are an exception because your name has panache, darling," she declared. "I have run into dreadful people named Humperdink and Arthur and Frank trying to use those as superhero names. It will never do. Can you imagine bursting into a bank being robbed and announcing 'stop! I am Frank and I am here to save you!' Peh."

"Those aren't even good actual names. Well, maybe Arthur," Jenny amended, because he was right there. "But my name is also--" electricity arced between the fingers of her left hand. "Demonstrative."

"Excellent!" Edna exclaimed. "Your outfit should be streamlined, metallic," she gave an appraising glance at Jenny's legs, "perhaps extremely short. No capes!"

"Metallics are really more Apollo's thing," Jenny said. "And you just don't argue with a gay man about his look. And why would I want a cape? They get caught on things and tangle around your legs. I quite like the badarse longcoat look, but again, taken." Extremely short she could work with, though.
