Home Ec is Outrageous!; Monday, Period Five [ 07/12 ].

Aquaman did not at all seem to be in the front of the class with his usual gusto and enthusiasm. In fact, one could say that he looked possitively un-Aquaman-like. Sure, he was still in his unform, but the scales seemed to have lost a little bit of its gleam, there was a run in his tights, and his beard looked sadly untrimmed.

He still had a headache, and the only time he remembered feeling this nauseaus was the day after he and little Ariel had eaten sushi.

You see, this weekend, Aquaman learned about Long Island Ice Teas. Mostly that they were not at all like regular, refreshing ice teas, no thanks at all to Vice Principal Deadpool.

Still, the home ec classroom looked like a fabric store had imbibed about five hundred drinks too many and ralphed all over the place, as if Aquaman was compensating for everything he wanted to hack out by doing it with lace and polyester.

"Good morning, class!" Even ill as he felt, there was still a smile to that, albeit a watery one. "I hope you all made far better decisions last weekend than I myself did, but in the face of consequences, we must tackle them and move on, and so here is your lesson for today."

Last time, the brandishing of the sewing needle had been very impressive, but, this time, it just wound up seeming sadly anti-climatic.

"Sewing!"

"Being able to sew and darn and mend is very important. Our clothing is what keeps us warm, it's got our backs covered, it can be a distinguishing feature and it keeps us from indecently exposing ourselves to both the elements and our fellow compatriates. So we need to know how to take care of them. One way to do so is...well, to sew. Fix up all those little holes and tears before they become big holes and tears. I shall demonstrate."

Which he did, taking out a large orange shirt that appeared to have gills on it, and narrating as he showed the class the basics of how to sew, not only holes in your clothing, but also a button. It was a little slow going. Negotating a needle while still hungover was not a pleasant task, but he soldiered through it.

"Now, it's your turn to give it a try. There are many clothes here in need of mending!" It seemed beyond Aquaman to think that some of these clothes had been ripped and ruined for a reason. "There exists among them a varying degree of distress, so pick one you feel comfortable with and darn those darn clothes!"

"If you feel that mere hemming, stitching, sewing and buttoning is a little basic for your own personal skills, I also have available some different material and detailing accessories, and you may spend some time trying to sew your own superhero costume. Plenty to keep you busy, and remember to keep in mind your color choices from last week."

"Good luck. I'll be...over here where thre's not as much light, should you need my assistance."

Not even a pun to go with it. It was a sad, sad day.

Alex Russo

Kate Gregson

Delirium

Medusalith Amaquelin

Gunn

Chuck Bartowski

Possibly wonder who this is and what they did with crazy Aquaman.

Although the fact that he's still in costume should help with that.

Hinata eyed the teacher thoughtfully.

He... certainly didn't seem to be much at all like how he'd been last week (she couldn't say if last week had been normal, though she thought it was more likely than this was) and she listened to the lecture spending more time attempting to put the dots together of the situation than paying attention to the sewing methods.

The faint amusement that lit her eyes as he finished his lecture and she realized what was afflicting him was definitely present.

Sewing, Cara was perfectly capable of sewing...injuries. This was not going to be a fun class.

If Jono had it in him to sit there and smirk, he was most certainly making an effort to do so, right then.

Hangovers: One of the few things Jono didn't miss about life before he blew his chest halfway to the moon.

What!?

Just what!?

Del felt ripped off. This was not for what she was paying! She wasn't even paying! This was Outrageous!

On the other side, the clothes reminded her of her own. Maybe she needed to sew her clothes first.

Alex might have stared a bit at Aquaman. He seemed a little subdued today. Then again, he was talking about sewing. How exciting could that get?

These clothes need your help (http://www.uglydress.com/)!

Surely, they can't all be beyond redemption!

Hinata stared in horror at the clothing for a long moment before carefully picking a blue dress (http://www.uglydress.com/polprin.html) that seemed like it could be salvagable.

First things first, that bow had to go. And what was with that... star-thing?

Cara picked a random item of clothing and was to all appearances sewing industriously. Of course since she wasn't really paying attention to what she was doing, she'd managed to sew one arm to the other in very short order.

Alex had no idea where to start, so she spent a good five minutes just starting at the assortment of clothes.

She finally settled on a green dress (http://www.uglydress.com/stpatdaywed.html) that looked almost normal compared to what else was around it. Alex was taking the bows off the straps of the dress to start with, oh yes.

You have about an hour to make your costume (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/2471816.html?dr_log=-1&linkout=http%3A//marvel.com/create_your_own_superhero). Of course it's possible! It's like Project Runway! Make it work!

Especially you, Gunn.

Jono had contemplated the dresses for a moment. He really had. He'd contemplated them long and careful, and then had decided to flee the instant his hand had grazed the Hello Kitty wedding dress.

At least with this, he had a bit of experience. Somewhat.

Tights, boots, belt. Toss an X-logo on there for good measure, and then... Give up on it, mostly. Sewing wasn't his strongest point, and if he really wanted a uniform, he'd go back to Massachusetts to get one from the people who knew what they were doing.

[I had to toss him here, mostly because I laughed forever that it's impossible to make anything remotely resembling Chamber using Marvel's own hero-maker.]

No, he doesn't want to talk about it.

Well, that wasn't what Kate wanted to talk to him about. Actually, Kate didn't really want to talk to him about anything, but when you missed the first session of a workshop, some apologies were necessary.

"Um, hi," she said as she approached him. "I'm Kate Gregson. I'm sorry I missed class last week, I kinda got turned into a cat."

Again.

"Ah haa," said Aquaman, trying to sound his usual cheerful self but having some difficult. "So you're the mysterious Kate Gregson! Glad to see you bipedal again, but don't worry about it. You know what they say. Cat happens."

"I don't think anyone says that," Kate said before she had time to stop herself. People who wore costumes in their everyday lives tended to have that effect on her. Especially ones trying too hard to be cheerful. It was kind of weird.

She was quick to continue, though. "So, uh, do I have to make up for what I missed?"

Well, usually, Aquaman didn't have to try at all, but today was...

...special.

"Well," he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "we did introductions and discussed color theme and made dioramas of decorating rooms based on that color scheme. You shouldn't have to make a diorama, no worries there, but it might not hurt to pick out your colors, since they may come in use later in the semester."

"Pick my colors." Well, that was easy enough. She was actually almost sure of which ones she wanted, already. "Any limit to how many?"

"Of course not," said Aquaman. "As many as you feel are needed to suit you and who you are."

"Okay, good," Kate nodded. "And is that all, Professor-- Actually, sorry, what am I supposed to call you?"

Aquaman was a weird name, okay? And even Vice Principal Deadpool had another name.

[Oh self, it helps when you hit 'Post'.]

"Aquaman!" That managed to get a least a little bit of a smile out of the abnormally somber superhero. "Just Aquaman is fine. I'm not a professor, but I supposed if you feel more comfortable with formal, King of Atlantis would work."

And, yes, he was utterly serious about that.

"King of Atlantis. Really." Oh, the deadpan going on right here. It was epic. "I think I'll just go with Aquaman. Thanks. So, that was all? The colors?"

Kate almost sounded as if she didn't believe him! Now wouldn't that be silly? Who wouldn't?

"You got it," Aquaman nodded, very carefully. "Just the colors."

"Okay, good," Kate nodded again. "Thanks. Bye."

... Just because her exit looked a little like fleeing from the weird person, doesn't mean it was.

"Anytime, Kate Gregson!" Aquaman lifted a hand in a wave as she didn't flee. "See you next week!"

Now, that went well. It almost made Aquaman forget about his terrible headache. Almost.

I'm sad that the aftermath is the only thing I really got to do with drunk!Aquaman.
