Love & Romance, Hollywood Style [Period 4, Class 6]

[carpe_demon]

Drake had on extremely tight leather pants for today's class. They were so tight you could tell what religion he was, if demons had religion. When the class had settled in, he snapped his fingers to start some clips rolling.

"Today we're going to talk about the Power of Luuuuuuuuurve," Drake began. "In the movie Krull, the evil Beast with a capital B and his equally evil army invade the planet Krull. Two rival kingdoms decided to form an alliance by marrying their children in the hopes that their combined forces can defeat the Beast. Fortunately, Prince Colwyn and Princess Lyssa seem down with idea, which is good because arranged marriages can be so awkward. Anyway, during the wedding ceremony, the Beast attacks, kills lots of people, and kidnaps Lyssa.

"Of course, Colywn wasn't going to stand for that, so he gathers up the usual band of misfits and hunts down the Beast. There's fighting and people dying and Colwyn finds Lyssa. He fights the Beast but isn't having much luck. Xena would totally do a better job with that Glaive. Lyssa comes to the realization that the power of their Luuuuuuuuurve can destroy the Beast, and she starts to finish the interrupted marriage ceremony. So they say their vows and Colwyn destroys the Beast and they all escape the Beast's fortress and live happily ever after."

"So what do you think?" Drake finished. "Can love defeat evil? Or is that just a fantasy?"

Marvel at Drake and Prince Colwyn's leather pants! Spot the old school BSG set! Giggle at a wee Liam Neeson!

Thanks to her conversation with Hayley last night, Joan couldn't help but notice Drake's pants.

Leather what leather was leather the leather question pants?

Fiona listened... and sunk even further into her desk.

Ugh.

Venezuela. Looking better all the time.

That. That right there. That was why Warren was hell-bent on rejecting the uniform tights that some of the other mutants on the island were trying to goad him into wearing.

Jeans. Jeans were comfortable. Also, they breathed.

Despite some thoughts to the contrary earlier in the day, Kate did actually make it to the class.

Where she then spent most of the time trying not to stare at Drake's pants.

Diana felt somewhat traumatized by the choice of pants.

Joolushko was not looking at the teacher's pants. Really. That would be highly inappropriate. Of course, the choice of pants was already inappropriate so if she looked it wasn't really her fault. Was it? In any case, she wasn't looking.

She was looking at her notebook. Or the screen. Anywhere but the pants.

Class Discussion [L&R: Class Six]

[carpe_demon]

Can love defeat evil? Or is that just a fantasy?

Re: Class Discussion [L&R: Class Six]

Chloe gave this a lot of thought, but in the end, she just wasn't sure if it was possible or not to defeat something with just love. Weapons and and magic seemed to help a lot.

"I think it's possible that it can help defeat evil," she finally said. "But I also think you need other back up on a fight."

Re: Class Discussion [L&R: Class Six]

[living_endless]

"Sure," Didi said. "If love gives you the strength of will to win the fight. I don't think love means you always win."

"Maybe," Kennedy said dubiously. "I don't know. It makes a good story, anyway, but if it could? Seems like the world would be a lot less of a screwed up place."

She might be thinking on too big a scale here.

"I think it depends on what you mean by defeat," Joan said. "Love alone isn't going to defeat the evil things that invade us, but it gives people a reason to keep fighting."

Re: Class Discussion [L&R: Class Six]

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

"Love can make people do incredible things," was her answer.

"Anything else depends on the circumstances."

Re: Class Discussion [L&R: Class Six]

Dinah's feelings on this were mixed. "Maybe? I mean, I've seen people try harder for love, and accomplish more for love. And I guess in places where magic's real, it's a real power. I just don't think it's an automatic win."

Talk to Drake [L&R: Class Six]

[carpe_demon]

"Power is fleeting; love is eternal."

TAs [L&R: Class Six]

[carpe_demon]

"A girl of ancient name shall become queen. And she shall choose a king. Together they will rule the world. And their son will rule the galaxy."

For Kennedy's benefit, cross out "king" and replace it with Tara "queen."

Re: TAs [L&R: Class Six]

[brat-intraining.livejournal.com]

Oh, gross, Drake. Were the pants necessary? Seriously? It wasn't that Kennedy had a leather-pants problem, but some things, like guys in them, she really didn't want to see.

So one of the TAs would just be over here, half nodding off.

Fiona was just going to wonder how Drake was actually walking around in those things and try not to be too frustrated with life, the universe, and everything.

Oh, 80s scifi. <3 <3 <3

FLORALGEDDON IS ALMOST OVER.

Yay!

Man, I love Krull so much. More than is warrented, probably.

You know what would make floralgeddon better? Some floral hex.
