Is Love a Tender Thing?, Tuesday
This was, quite possibly even more entertaining than Dojima ever thought teaching was going to be.
"Ohaiyo!" she sang as the students arrived. "Today we're going to give you some practical exercises in how dating - or wooing - can go very very wrong, Fandom-style."
Romeo shot her a swift, amused smile. "For example," he said, "the gremlins. I've heard tell of brilliant nights, burned to ashes because something with fangs decided to make a plaything of half of a pair -- or of both halves."
"Fandom Lesson Number One," Dojima put in impishly. "Video of the aftermath of a gremlin encounter is worth a LOT on the open market."
"However, taking video of your would-be-beloved in such a state is a good way to guarantee there will be no second date."
"Though after a fourth or fifth date, perhaps, a little blackmail may be overlooked in a loving relationship," Romeo put on. "But to go to the larger point -- the amount of time people here spend out of their mind or not in the right body can strain any relationship."
"Even if that relationship is just one of friendship - But! - friendship is not what you're in this class for. So! We've come up with a few scenarios for you to work with," she supplied cheerfully. "First dates gone so, so, so very wrong. Because around here? It's bound to happen."
"First you cry, then you laugh, then you move on," Romeo said solemnly. "And today … today is for practice. Your pairs are Lucrezia and Frank; Rapunzel and Sholeh; Thomasina and Atton; and George and Shira. And, as we've an odd number, Stacey, Hanna and Sparkle will all work together."
