Japanese Etiquette & Tradition, 3/29/10, Period 5

[shiroi_tiger]

"Alright, class," Algren's arms were crossed over his chest as the students made their way into the room. There were extra cushions laid out, today. Because... Well, it was hard to miss that giant dinosaur, yesterday, and it had been a long week besides, and they'd just earned themselves some extra cushions. And boxes of Pocky. And bottles of Ramune. Try not to make a mess with the Ramune. "Today we're straying from the syllabus in favor of some very important educational video, straight from Japan, that might come in useful if we ever see a repeat of yesterday."

It could happen. This was Fandom.

"So take it easy, and sit down and watch this movie that has become so deeply entrenched in Japanese culture that people worldwide have come to know it as a household name."

A beat.

"Try not to mock the lipflap too much. I couldn't find a subtitled copy."

Monstrously!

Lecture

[shiroi_tiger]

Grab some pillows, grab some Pocky, and try to get the marble into the bottle of Ramune without small soda explosions all over the classroom, please.

Watch the Movie!

[shiroi_tiger]

Because only Fandom can turn the classics into educational video.

Talk to The TA

[shiroi_tiger]

When she pings in.

Talk to Algren

[shiroi_tiger]

Who is tempted to just nap through the movie.

OOC

[shiroi_tiger]

I have had many, many bottles of Ramune over the years. I always, always end up wearing it when I press the marble in.

Always.

Melon is still my favourite flavour, though.

OMG RAMUNE. \o/

I always end up hurting myself trying to carve the plastic off the top and get the marble out. -_-

... oh God, I want Ramune right now.

It was true that Ino was far more interested in her Ramune and Pocky than the movie but that was rather par for the course.

What she did catch of the movie, though, was pretty okay. Monsters! Fighting!

Didi had pocky and a monster movie. There were worse ways to spend a Monday.

So, they went to Eurodisney in horror movie class, and watched a horror movie in the Japanese tradition class.

Kate could work with that. Not to mention be amused by it.

And try her best not to get soda all over herself.

Pocky, Ramune, cushions and a movie.

Annja was loving this class even more today.

Re: OOC

[spiritandsword]

I've never had it and now I want to try it.

I miss Ramune so, soooo much. It was one of those things that I could snag any time I wanted when I was living in Edmonton, because of the huge Asian supermarket in the mall. And now? I'm all East-coasty and Ramune-free, and that makes me a sad puppy. *sads at*

Morgana was splitting her time between watching the movie and trying to get the Ramune open without spilling any on herself. It was an ongoing process of fun.

POCKY! RAMUNE! KAIJU FIGHT!

...

POCKY!

Re: Watch the Movie!

[heromaniac]

Best teacher ever was still best teacher ever, Momoko decided as she popped her Ramune and took a drink. Although she'd totally seen this one (it was in her boxset from Jaime, afterall) she still watched closely to compare the fights with the one from yesterday.
