a guide to getting past life's little quirks | wednesday | period 2 | august 19

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Today was the last day of class and Loki's last day of teaching for a long while, at least. He'd be leaving all that up to the non lazier ones come fall. For now, there was just one last time to get to torment his students.

"Good morning," he began exuberantly. "You all made it to the last fucking class of the term. Now, now, don't cry. I'm sure we'll see each other again. And, if you don't, well, I'm sure we'll all live. Now, I'd thought of planning some super hard final just to piss everyone off but I just couldn't make myself plan something hard like that."

That would have meant he'd have to pay attention or grade something and he was just too fucking lazy to do that on the last day of class.

"So, instead, I'm going to assign each of you an individual situation," he decided. "Could be anything and I want you to tell me how you'd solve that little quirk or, if you can't solve it, how you'd deal with it. You can use things we've learned this semester or you can make up your own fucking way. This is just to see how you do with things on the fly. Let's get started."

Oh, the quirks he'd devised. His brain was fucking awesome.

It's the last day of class! Feel free to chat it up, go to sleep, pass notes, whatever!

Considering Effy hadn't gone to bed yet, she was looking remarkably alert. It was something she had a lot of practice at, even if not much of it had been recent.

She'd sleep it all off later. For now, she was actually listening.

Each of you has a quirk! Tell Loki how you'd deal with it and he will judge you tell you what he thinks!

• Agnes - You've got a flat tire, late at night and your cell phone's dead
  
• Blysse - You're pregnant
  
• Edmund - You've accidentally congratulated a woman on her pregnancy when she's...not
  
• Effy - You've got guy related jealousy issues that you can't seem to contain
  
• Elena - You've been waiting in a hospital trauma room for hours and still haven't been seen
  
• Elle - The hairdresser completely fucked up your hair
  
• Emmett - You recognize your girlfriend in the porn you're watching
  
• Fiona - There's no toilet paper in the bathroom you're using and you can't find where the person whose house you're at keeps it
  
• George - Someone thinks you look like a girl and tells you so
  
• Griff - Someone asks you to be in a threesome with them
  
• Helen - You're told you have herpes
  
• Jaina - You live below loud neighbors that rebuff any attempts you make at solving things diplomatically
  
• Jenny - Instead of giving you a boob job, the plastic surgeon gives you a bad nose job
  
• Layla - You are forced to go to a Celine Dion concert
  
• Prince Edward - You are rendered unable to sing
  
• Tara - Your roommate insists on walking around naked because that's the way God made her
  
• Yuffie - You destroy a display at a store but no one sees you do it
  
• Zack - You accidentally apply and get a job at the porn store

Oh, well-played, Loki. Well-played.

Zack opened his mouth to formulate a reply. Yes, indeed. This was Zack, about to make words.

"Do I get a discount?"

And this was Zack, turning a vibrant shade of pink and talking himself out of hiding under something.

"I will go to the concert! Then I will attempt to get backstage speaking in an outrageous French-Canadian accent by claiming to be Celine's long lost daughter and then demand money to keep her family secret quiet," Layal replied.

Oh, please, Effy would never get this problem. She repressed brilliantly. Mostly.

"I'd go screw someone else."

Because that's mature.

Tara would find hers pretty distracting, actually. Not that she had a thing for Fiona -- she really didn't -- but that didn't mean she wanted a pretty naked straight girl hanging around all the time.

She gave the roommate in question a slightly embarrassed glance assuming she was there before turning her attention to Loki.

"So, um, I'd tell her that I'd be m-m-more comfortable if she wore a robe or something."

Elena chewed her lip and considered the matter seriously.

"I have a gun," she said. "My first thought was, take hostages, but then I can't necessarily trust that the doctors have my best interests at heart. I could shoot myself in a decidedly not-vital spot and pretend to swoon from blood loss. It'd get their attention."

"That would be the coolest thing ever." What? It's not like he could get a disease or anything! But he'd be kind of upset that Rose cheated on him. But was porn really cheating? Nah. It's like a job. "Yeah. Coolest thing ever. And I'd tell her so."

"How am I getting pregnant without mating?" Firekeeper wanted to know.

Agnes considered the situation.

"...A 'flat tire' means that your automobile no longer runs properly, right?" she asked. "But it's easily fixable?" She was pretty sure that was it -- she'd been in Fandom long enough to absorb some knowledge by osmosis -- but didn't want to weigh in until she had verification.

Of course it would be something sexual. What better way to make Griff uncomfortable and borderline cranky.

"I think I'll pass, but it's a nice thought," he said, trying to answer without going pink in the ears.

"What am I using the bathroom to do? After all, I would think you'd check for those things before you started anything where you'd need it."

Helen frowned. "I believe one of the magic users back home can cure that. But if I could not get there, I'm sure someone at the clinic would be able to help."

GASP!

This could not be!

"This cannot be!"

"Well, they'd be wrong," George said instantly. "An' if they didn't believe it, I'd have t'prove it to them."

"Well," said Jaina, "I can't solve things diplomatically anyway, so they just get threatened."

Jenny eyed him disbelievingly. "I wouldn't be getting plastic surgery in the first place."

"Well, I'd apologise," he said, "but from the reactions I've seen on television, I suspect I'd be nursing a black eye whether I did or not."

"Wait, no one saw me do it?" Yuffie smirked. "Get the hell out of there as fast as I can. And possibly dump my things into someone else's cart as I go."

Who I thank very much for volunteering to TA for Loki!

Elena was here. Rather sad that her TA gig was coming to a close. She'd enjoyed this class.
