Self-Expression through Music, Friday August 14th

"Right," Glinda said, "performances are next week. I look forward to what you will show for each of your pieces. Today you will have free time to work on your project, and ask me questions about it, if you so desire. Please work quietly, and take as much of the food as you like."

Glinda had gotten creative today, and all the food and drinks were items that were referenced in songs: cherry Coke, slider cheeseburgers, canned peaches, candy, pizza and pasta fazool.

Yes, she had no bananas.

[OCD up!]

Work on your project.

...he knew exactly who he looked like and he wasn't all that interested in scaring the living Oz out of his professor, so he came in with a scarf around his head and started working with his face to the desk.

Joan gave the unfamiliar 'girl' a sideways glance. It was a small class and she definitely had not noticed her before.

"Hi," she said.

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He peeked out from one side to smile at Joan, lips tight.

"Morning," he said.

Re: Activity :: 8/14

"I, uh, don't think we've met," Joan said hesitantly. Because there was something familiar about her. She just couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

He rubbed at his face for a moment before shaking his head.

"Oh, we have. The island just thinks it has a fine sense of humor."

Brightly, a little too brightly, he held out a hand.

"Liir Thropp-Tigelaar, miss."

Joan managed to control her giggling long enough to shake his... her hand. "Oh, this place."

She well remembered the time she woke up as a boy.

Re: Activity :: 8/14

He ducked back under the scarf, rolling his eyes.

"It's really not funny. Especially the second time around."

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry," she apologized. "It's just... unexpected. You're a very pretty girl."

Because that would make him feel better, yes.

"Miss," Glinda said, sounding confused but firm, "I believe you have the wrong class. Or that the office has neglected to tell me that there was a new student coming in."

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I" and he tried to make his voice sound gruffer before realizing that by adding the gruffness, he'd actually just made himself sound more like her, "I'm in the right place. I guess they forgot to tell you."

Not looking up. A whole world of not looking up.

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

BLINK.

For a moment, the new girl sounded just like... No.

"Well then!" she said, too cheery, the happiness cracking at the edges. "Welcome to Fandom, help yourself to a snack or two, and... I hope you're enjoying the class!" She wanted to retreat to her desk so badly. "Of course I won't expect you to do the project, since you just got here..."

She was babbling, and she knew it, but as long as she was talking she wasn't asking herself questions.

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Ozdammit.

"Miss Glinda," and he finally looked up, "Miss Glinda, it's me, all right? Liir?"

And there was the difference, the bright green eyes instead of bright green skin. But the features, well, the features were telling.

"The island's playing games, of course. I didn't mean to upset you."

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Liir," she said, sounding immensely relieved. "You didn't upset me... more startled, then anything, really!" She couldn't help but stare for a moment. So that was what Elphy would have looked like if the Wizard had been able to degreenify her. "Is it just you, or are there other boys in this predicament?"

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I'd assume the rest of us are as well," he said with a faint wry smile, "as that's how it happened the last time. But who can tell? Things have struck me on my own before anyway."

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

"Well, if you need anything," she said with a smile, looking and sounding like she was finally starting to relax, "let me know. I'll do my best to help."

Priestly grabbed some sliders and coke, sat down, and proceed to attempt a badass drum riff on the various hard surfaces surrounding his desk.

Because girl-drummers were badass.

Yeah. Too bad he was no good at the hyper-active beat punk stuff he was attempting.

Peyton stared for a moment. "Priestly?"

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[lovemykilt]

Priestly grinned. "Yep. Nice look, right?"

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"You know your sense of style is well-developed when you can change genders and people still recognize you," Peyton said with a smile. "So... how are you doing in your new form?"

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[lovemykilt]

Priestly shrugged. "It's kinda weird. But, hey, broadening my horizons, right?"

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "Got to be a guy for a day myself."

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[lovemykilt]

"Yeah? How'd that go?"

Re: Activity :: 8/14

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin was momentarily confused. Was he suddenly the only boy in class? That didn't used to be the case. "Ohhhhhhhhhhh!" he exclaimed, getting it.

Yakko hadn't made it to class last week, so he didn't actually know what the assignment was. But anyone who thought that knowing what the assignment was would make the slightest impact for Yakko probably didn't know him well at all.

After all, he was going to have a well-choreographed impromptu musical number one way or another next week. And this week he was going to waste on snacking without doing any work regardless of how much he knew.
