Ethics & Etiquette - 1st Period - 8/3
Despite the... weekend of hell and bitey bitey, Deadpool and Steve were there for class and ready to shape young minds with their hard earned wisdom.
"Okay, so things happened, stuff and blah blah blah. Class time now. No vampires here, thanks."
"Unless you happen to already be a vampire," Steve added quickly. "In which case you are, of course, welcome as long as you do not bite anyone. So! In light of this past week's events, and some confusion that I understand occurred over in that other universe, we thought it would be helpful to discuss ways to determine that your friends are who they say they are without hurting their feelings."
"Or having to kill them in a tragic fashion," Deadpool added. Because he was helpful like that. "There are many reasons why your friend may not be your friend anymore. Shapeshifting aliens, alternate timelines, evil goatees, possession, crazy mind control devices, really weird coincidences with people looking like twins..."
"You forgot actual evil twins," Steve provided helpfully. "Additionally, there are clones and people surgically altered to look like your friends. And I'm sure I'm still forgetting something. But the important thing is, when these things inevitably happen to you, how do you deal with them?"
Twins were easy to forget, okay?
"Like, having a special code word to let you know they're the right person!" Not that it helped, really. "Or having a telepath nearby to help out."
"You can also quiz--subtly your friend on something only they would know. But sometimes even these methods will fail you. Like your friend might have been replaced by a Skrull. In that case, you'll need to consider technology."
"Which they won't have." Really, Steve. Really. "But exists! So, how about we come up with a list of questions to subtly question each other in case of being replaced, kaaaay?"
"That sounds reasonable," Steve agreed. "You never know when it'll come in handy."
"Weeeeell. Get on it, kiddos!"

Re: Talk to the Teachers
"It's like a movement or something. Spread the Oreo love. Solid food all the way." He gave a little punch into the air with one fist, and then dropped his hands by his sides again.
He was going vegetarian or something after that weekend. Honestly, now.
Re: Talk to the Teachers
A beat.
"So... you're okay, right?"

"And you're okay, right?"
Look, he had to ask. If he didn't, then there would be gnawing guilt issues. Or at least some pouting for a bit.

Re: Talk to the Teachers
"Good. Keep okay, okay?"
That was followed up by a yawn, and then an awkward sort of shift from foot to foot. "I guess I should get going, or I'll sleep through my next class. And I've had enough of doing that already."
