"Good morning, everyone, and I hope you had a nice weekend," Steve told the class. Today we're going to talk about peer pressure. Now, peer pressure can be a terrible thing. You're sitting there, minding your own business, and then your so-called 'friends' tell you 'everyone else is doing it' or 'you'll be a loser if you don't,' and the next thing you know you're wearing a suit that cost more than should ever be spent on clothes and fighting a Nazi made out of bees in the middle of a Las Vegas casino." You know. Hypothetically. Not that that had ever happened to him or anything... "So it's bad, is what I'm saying. Don't do it. And when people try it on you, whether they're trying to get you to have sex or get a tattoo or buy stupidly expensive clothes or work for the government hunting down other people with superpowers, tell them to get lost.

""Your assignment for today is to resist peer pressure. You can get into pairs or groups, whatever works well for you, and one of you will resist peer pressure applied by the others, who are trying to convince you to eat one of these," he held up a cookie from a plate on his desk, "bacon cookies. Have fun."

Resisting peer pressure.

WTF at your teacher. Or take notes, WTFing at your teacher.

Pair or group up to resist or not resist the lure of bacon cookies.

Once they ping in, if they are here.

Who is here.

HOW AM I STILL SICK? WHY, UNIVERSE? WHY?

Natalie Adams

Ryan Clark

Natalie wasn't so much WTFing at the teacher as trying to decide whether there was irony or humour to be found in the fact that this was the class she shared with Billy.

~~Assuming he was there, omg.~~

Surreal

Seifer Almasy

Dave Nelson

Bacon cookies? Yeah, Dave wasn't going to have trouble resisting that.

What was with people and meat cookies?

Kenzi

*hugs you* Go to the doctor! ... although I bet he just tells you it's a virus, bah.

Kenzi, listening to Mr. Rogers talk, realized she was the Peer Pressurer.

Ooops.

Mmm, bacon.

Kenzi was already eating some of hers. "These are delicious! And I want more." Lead by example, right?

Mercy Thompson

Yeah, no bacon cookies for Mercy, thanks.

Billy Kaplan

Yeeeeah, Billy would just be over here trying not to make eye contact with anyone, let alone Natalie. Surely she wouldn't hate him if he stayed out of her way?

Topher Brink ~~actually has an icon for this~~

Topher was here. Texting, but here.

That counted, right?

Stacey McGill

Stacey was a single parent in class with droid baby twins today. PEER PRESSURE WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

Darcy Lewis

Yeah, Natalie was getting that. The avoidance.

But she was also aware that there'd be play rehearsal on Thursday and that would probably be even more awkward if she didn't deal with this now. So, after contemplating it for a moment, she tore a piece of paper from her notebook, wrote a couple of words on it, and tossed it Billy's way.

It's fine.

Billy caught the note and shot Natalie a grateful look before writing a reply and tossing it back.

Okay, thank you. Sorry I was jerky and handsy. It definitely won't happen again.

Natalie thought more words weren't necessary (though she thought she might still touch on the topic later, somewhere where she didn't need to do it in writing), so she just gave him a slight nod, and... not quite a smile, but some brief look of understanding, and a little shrug, like, 'what can you do?'

Wasn't anyone's fault but Fandom's.
