The Elements of Friendship, Thursday, Period 1

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie had the class meet her in the Danger Shop, which thankfully had much more pony-hoof friendly controls than her keyboard in her office did. She'd programmed the room to look just like Sugarcube Corner, the sweet shop she lived and worked at back in Ponyville. On the counter was a wide array of (thankfully real) baked goods and sweets, with a big bowl of punch on the end. On the table by the door was a pile of party hats in a wide variety of moddale shapes, sizes, and colors, with a sign over them reading "WEAR ME". Pinkie herself was decked out in one of her favorite party outfits, waiting for all of her new students to gather.

"Hi!" she said, when she thought everyone was probably all here. "I'm Pinkie Pie, and this is the Elements of Friendship! Where I'll be teaching you all the important lessons my friends and I have learned about the magical power of friendship and how to maintain it even when things aren't going so well. We're all going to be the bestest of friends in this class, so each week, I'll ask you guys to pair up to solve a problem with the power of your friendship! Doesn't that sound like fun?"

It might. The fact that the problem might well be escaping a giant rampaging hydra would possibly make it even more fun. Or less, depending on the student.

"But this week, we maybe don't even all know each other yet. And if we don't know each other, how can we be friends? Well, that means we have to meet each other, and there's no better way to meet each other than. . . ."

Introductions, right? It had to be introductions. It was the first week, introductions were obligatory. Where was that drumroll coming from?

"A PARTY!" Pinkie flung her hooves into the air, and balloons rained down from the ceiling. "So put on a party hat and grab a cupcake and tell us all your name and the name of your moster bestest friends in the entire world." Yep, introductions were obligatory. "Then we can get down and get funky!"

[ooc: And we're live. Shake that groove thang!]

Gather 'round and listen to the lecture [9/1]

For those who haven't yet, boggle at the OMGTALKINGPINKPONY.

Bobby didn't boggle so much as try not to burst out laughing. A talking pony was so much more awesome when it wasn't, well. Him.

Annie found that she no longer boggled.

Which meant she was beginning to worry about herself.

And she'd brought a notebook to this class. Don't judge her.

If it hadn't been completely illogical, Spock would be beginning to suspect that the universe had it in for him.

Jason was too busy facepalming to boggle. He was really hoping that being in class with the pony again was a paperwork error for him, and not Bruce trying to exhibit some kind of sense of humor.

Rilla had been a little distracted at the picnic, so she hadn't noticed the TALKING PINK PONY.

Boggle, Rilla, boggle.

Squall had been trying to AVOID classes with Professor Pie. He wasn't sure how he'd managed to end up with this one on his schedule, and he wasn't happy about it.

Introductions [9/1]

O. Blig. A. Tory.

"I'm Pinkie Pie," Pinkie demonstrated, "and my best friends are Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash!"

"Bobby Drake," Bobby introduced himself. "My best friends are Warren, Hank, Warren, Jean, and Scott." Yes, Warren was on there twice. No, it wasn't a mistake. That was just how Bobby rolled.

"My name's Annie Edison," she said, "and I don't know that I could call anyone my best friend...s. Plural."

She totally did not have a best friend. Singular.

"I am Spock," said Spock, "and while I am not certain I would quantify her as a 'best friend,' as that is not a concept I am terribly familiar with, I am well acquainted with my former roommate, Momoko Akatsutsumi."

"I'm Chuck." He'd managed, miraculously, to stop boggling by this stage. "And my best friend is called Morgan. I've known him pretty much my whole life."

"I'm Jason Todd, and I don't have a best friend." Okay, so Nico probably counted, but he kind of wanted to see Pinkie's reaction to not having someone close.

"I'm Dana Scully," Scully said, "And my best friends are Mulder and Claudia, Peter, Jake and Karla." She was a lot closer to the first two, but still pretty fond of the last three. And over a year ago, there really only would have been one person on that list.

Jeremy didn't boggle at all. He just ate cupcakes. Thankfully, he even stopped eating them during introductions, this time.

"Jeremy Darling," he introduced himself with a smile, then inclined his head in the direction of his sister assuming she was there omg. "And my best friend is Juliet Darling."

"I'm Rilla Blythe," Rilla said, wondering if sleep deprivation was starting to bring on hallucinations, "and my best friend is my older brother Walter."

Squall grabbed the most outrageous hat and cupcake he could get his hands on, just to PROVE that he wasn't intimidated by all this annoying happy-feely crap.

"Squall Leonhart," he announced very matter-of-factly. "My best friend is Rinoa. ...And Jono."

"Hi, I'm Juliet," Juliet said, with a fluttery little wave. "My very best friend is my brother Jeremy."

Talk to Pinkie [9/1]

[locointhecoco]

She won't actually give you cavities just by talking to her. We promise.

TAs! [9/1]

[locointhecoco]

"Ooo! And before I forget, I've head there are these things here called 'TAs' and that I should get some, so if anyone knows where I can find any, let me know?"

[For those prearranged to be TAs]

Re: TAs! [9/1]

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

"Can I be your TA?" Juliet asked, as winningly as she could manage. "I'd brush your mane and get copies made and I'm super-good at planning parties, really!"

OOC [9/1]

Hey LJ, this isn't how your interface is going to be working permanently, right? 'Cause that giant list of response options is gonna get old real fast.
