"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!"

Francine ducked her head. In a way that would make villains quake in their fashionable boots, yes. "I didn't make it up. It was just her name. The person I turned into."

Shh about the part where she had, sort of, since it was the same codename she'd used for the Sneaky Pranks In Cloaks And Masks Club.

"Ohhh, so you're one of those method heroes?" Edna asked. "Can't help who you channel, et cetera?"

Francine tried to translate that. "I think I was at the time. I'm not usually a hero, though. I'm just a girl."

Edna winked. "Aren't you all, darling. Aren't you all."

She'd meant I don't have powers, but Francine suddenly felt self-conscious about saying so. Yes, despite the fact that she knew at least two of the other students didn't either. Chuck and Arthur could both get by on sheer strength of personality, after all.

So she just asked, "Should I pick a better name? I'm not sure what would fit me, really. The Cookiebaker probably doesn't strike fear in the hearts of evildoers either."

"It does if they have gluten allergies," Edna said, "but who advertises that?" She tapped her pen against her lips, thinking. "Cookie Crook is bad, Sweetie Pie sounds like a stripper...Sugar Shock?"

~~ILUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...~~

Francine opened her mouth to protest that it was too flashy for her before she actually heard it, which was kind of dumb, because... "Oh. I like that!"

"Of course you do," Edna replied. "I am very good at this."

"I guess so!" Granted Francine tended to be easily impressed, but she did mean it. Plus? She liked short people.
