How to be Awesome | Week 1 | Period 6 | Mon. 7/6

Barney was back. Teaching. It had to be a joke and yet it wasn't. He strode into the Danger Shop like he owned it, blond hair perfect, dark grey suit screaming, 'Why yes, this jacket did cost more than a year's tuition to this school!' With a click of a remote, the room transformed around the class to become a massive department store dressing area with a long covered rack, tables and chairs for students, and a podium for the teacher.

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life," Barney announced, smoothing his tie as he took his position at the podium. "Over the next several weeks, you will be challenged by the most LEGEN- wait for it and I sure hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next word is -DARY workshop to ever grace the halls of Fandom High. Should you value your Awesomeness and ever want to get laid regularly, heed my words, people.” Barney paused, looking pointedly at certain students who had obviously never suited up in their lives.

"The journey to Awesome starts with the ritualistic destruction of all things denim. No more will you wear your lemming-style jeans, your witty t-shirts, or your--" he shuddered visibly "--cargo pants. To be taken seriously you must and I repeat you WILL SUIT UP!" With that exclamation, Barney hit another button on his remote and the covering exploded off of the rack, dramatically uncovering expensive-looking suits in all shapes (yes, even female ones) and sizes.

Pleased with drama, Barney snapped his fingers to regain student attention at his podium. "These suits are yours to keep, and I expect you to suit up for every workshop this session. No exceptions! If you don’t wear a suit to class, you will earn a special seat in the hell that is Fandom detention. I promise you’ll be thanking me for this before the session is over."

"Now, why should you wear a suit outside of class, you ask? That’s simple, people. Any man--or woman-- serious about the art of consistent layage needs to comprehend the following truism: Chicks love suits. Why? Because men look hot in suits. See Example A,” Barney gestured to his own incredibly hot, suit-clad body. “Wear your suit on a date and your date will be awesome, guaranteed." Okay, not always, but he was working on building hope in these fools this week.

"Now lemmings, I want you to pick out a suit and put it on. There are trick suits on the suit rack. Your first challenge is to select a suit that will work for you without making anyone else go blind. Then, I want each of you to introduce yourself, tell us why you’re in this workshop, and give your level of experience with your preference of women or men." Barney paused and looked around the room. "What are you waiting for? SUIT UP!"

He waited a moment, watching the students before calling out, "Oh and you! Yes, you with the face. Too slow to move, join the grad in glasses as her assistant TA!" It was good to be the king. Even of a class like this.

Chuck Bass

Well. I still think he looks good.

Well, Chuck loved this guy. That was all there was to it. And this was probably a class where he wouldn't have to jack Sam's notes.

He was still gonna ask anyway. It was the principle of the thing.

Chuck was, naturally, already in a suit so this was one assignment he could skip.

Harper Finkle

Yes, it's as bad as you were expecting.

Harper wasn't listening too intently after the first few minutes. She wasn't sure if this was the class she signed up for and kept re-reading her schedule.

She also wasn't too keen on having to change out of the dress (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/thena8572/wizards/cap00036.jpg) she'd picked out for the first day of workshops.

"I'm Chuck Bass. I signed up for the workshop because it looked like an easy A." Well it was true. "And I'm extremely successful with both men and women."

No need to hide the fact that he was awesome.

Yakko was building a house of cards. For the horizonal cards, the back was facing down.

That's right. They were suit up.

Leave it to Harper to find a suit made out of camouflage (http://blog.nola.com/susanlangenhennig/2009/06/medium_colbert.JPG).

Yakko looked at the suits. He was a little disappointed that there was a perfectly decent suit in his size fairly small size. He had brought a pair of scissors to act as his own tailor and everything.

Yakko thought about this.

He grabbed a bigger suit and attacked it with a flurry of snipping. After a couple seconds, he was dressed in the newly small (and strangely perfectly tailored) suit. Honestly, he had preferred the other one, but he just really enjoyed attacking things with scissors.

"My name is Harper Finkle, and I'm not really sure how I ended up in this workshop, but that's okay. My grandmother tells me all the time how awesome I am," she began. "And I like boys, though they don't really seem to like me that much. I'm not sure why."

Bobby couldn't help but think that, well, actually this guy kinda made a lot of sense.

"I'm Yakko Warner, and I'm in this workshop because I signed up for it," Yakko said. "Nobody wants to hear about my level of experience because it would ruin way too many childhoods."

Yakko held a hand up to whisper to Barney. "But there's probably fanfiction on the internet about it. Beware Rule 34!"

After a good amount of searching, Bobby finally found a suit he liked. That didn't stop him from tugging at the sleeves nervously after he'd put it on, though. Warren might be used to these things but Bobby was strictly a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy.

"Bobby Drake, who signed up for this workshop. Um... I've been on a couple of dates with a girl." Yes, one girl. Who ended up running away screaming. It was not the smoothest of breakups.

So ... this class was about rocking the hell out of a suit, and getting laid?

Elena's first class, and she already loved this school.
