Relationship Ed, Monday

"So you've gotten around to the naked bits," Jeff began.

Sitting in front of every student was a dress-up doll and a bunch of stickers with numbers on them. This was going to go marvelously well, obviously.

"Congratulations," he added, whole-heartedly, and gave them both thumbs up. "But! Now comes the really tricky bit." Because clearly things hadn't been tricky enough up to this point. "Clothes! There's a lot that can go really really wrong when you're taking your clothes off. And I'm not just talking about getting stuck in your own trousers and falling off the bed or anything, because that's the advanced stuff. No, I'm talking about the really elementary thing, the overlooked problem that could send you soaring screaming to apocalyptic doom: Socks!"

Anyone who'd paid attention to their dolls might at this point notice that they were, in fact, all also wearing socks. That amount of attention to detail was what made Jeff's class what it was, all right?

"The most important question when you're about to get with someone is this. When do you take your socks off? The timing is critical. It's got to be after your shoes, obviously, but before your pants, because otherwise you're a naked man in socks--"

Beat.

"Or a naked woman in socks. Actually, I'm not sure how this works for women exactly, but I can tell you this: no woman would let a naked man in socks do the squelchy with her. This is the Sock Gap, the most deadly trap in all the realms of earthly delights. Don't laugh! Many men have fallen through it before you. Maybe many women have, too."

He gestured with abandon as he spoke. "The corpses of a million squelchy bits lay here in this naked pit of Socks!" he announced. "And only you have the power to keep yourself from joining them!"

He picked up a sheet of stickers. "You have three minutes," he said, "To label all the items of clothing on the dolls in the order you would have to take them off to avoid falling into the Sock Gap, or tying up your legs and falling off, or getting stuck in the Prison of Sleeves-- there are many ways to wander off the path, students! You will not do so on my watch!"

... Yes.

Thank you, Jeff.

Stacey was trying not to pay attention.

And then she heard "do the squelchy."

And now sex was gross.

Minako was turning redder and redder by the moment. No! She wasn't old enough for.... that! Romance! Holding hands! A kiss IF it was serious!

NO SQUELCHY, MR. JEFF!

Oh, cool, Juliet could totally play with dolls. So: Shoes, pants, socks, shirt, underpants. And then she was going to dress the doll again, because sitting around with a naked doll was just weird.

Jeremy's order was identical to Juliet's, and he wasn't really having any trouble with this assignment either.

"Does anyone actually worry about this stuff?"

He never had. He was honestly more concerned about the fact that his doll didn't have a cool scarf.

"Well," Juliet said in a low voice as she glanced over to Jeff, "he obviously does. No wonder he's a nervous wreck."

[OOC: Going swimming, back later!]
stars_and_money: (That's how it crumbles.)

"Yeah," Jeremy agreed, emphatically. "What can be so hard about taking clothes off? I barely even pay attention to my socks, you know, just in general."

"But yours are nice," Juliet offered. "Probably his are gross. You know, holes ... snagged elastic. Maybe they don't even match and that's why he freaks girls out."

Stacey had never worried about this, nor had she had a problem with it. And now she was staring at the doll and cursing Jeff's name for making her overthink this.
stars_and_money: (Even smiling can be lazy.)

"Usually best to start with the shoes," Jeremy offered, because he was almost physically incapable of overthinking things.

Also because he liked talking to cute girls he wasn't related to. Now that he was getting out of his mopey phase.

"That does help..." she said, now wondering if the cute guy thought she didn't know how to do this or something. "He puts way too much thought into this."
stars_and_money: (Yeah but no.)

"I know, right?" Jeremy agreed, because seriously. He was a Darling and even he could tell Jeff had some serious issues. "I've never seen someone get that upset over socks."

"And I don't think I've ever paid attention to socks before," she admitted. Of course, she might now. Thanks, Jeff.
stars_and_money: (Tee hee.)

"Me neither." Except, you know, in an 'I'm not sure these socks go with those shoes' kind of way. "I mean ––" And here he smiled a little. "–– there are usually better things to pay attention to, you know?"

"I know," she said, smiling back. "I'm Stacey, by the way." Since they hadn't had a formal introduction that she could remember.
stars_and_money: (Glad you should ask.)

Jeremy couldn't remember one either. Of course, there was a 50/50 chance he wouldn't have remembered even if they had.

"Hello, Stacey," he said, smile widening some. He even held out his doll-free hand. "Jeremy Darling, nice to meet you."

"You, too. Even if it had to be in the weirdest class ever." Though he totally gave her a reason to ignore the doll.

Yeah, Billy had just gotten to kissing on the mouth, so intimate squelching probably wouldn't be happening any time soon. He took his time with the assignment, keeping his doll as dressed as he could.
