Friendship 101, Wednesday, Period 2

[justlurkinghere]

Class today was not set in a magical field. No, today it was set in a normal classroom. Whoa. Whoa. Calm yourselves, boys and girls.

And ponies. Mostly the pony.

Derek was there again, still looking surly and uncomfortable in front of the class. "Friends talk," he said like he was possibly being forced to. Forced by the threatened tears of his co-teacher. "Today we're talking."

That we did not include him. He hoped. You'd think he'd know better by now.

"That was great!" Pinkie enthused, hooves springing into the air like they were, well, filled with springs. "Didn't Derek do a great job, students?" She believed in positive reinforcement. Though possibly couldn't tell you what "positive reinforcement" meant. "We're gonna put you all into groups and then give you something to talk about. It's great practice!" She pulled out a set of index cards from pretty much nowhere and spread them out face down on one of the desks. "So come pick out a card, and find who got the same topic you did!"

And please, please don't question where those cards had been before this point.

"Biscuits." Look at Jackson's unimpressed face. Look at it.. "Seriously?"

Sorry, Cassidy. You really drew the short straw this time. If you were present, omg.

"Purple is a great color for team uniforms, isn't it?"

This was the sum total of Juliet's football knowledge, Lex.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves!

[hasadestiny]

"I guess. The Metropolis Sharks are blue?"

Lex did not know much more.

"Purple-backed what?"

It was a bird, that much she knew. Still, what the hell.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves!

[notconflicted]

Geometry of love?

Don't mind Sia if she was staring at the card and wondering what part of it was a typo.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves!

[serial-quitter.livejournal.com]

"Okay, so I'm confused. I'm not even sure if geometry and love are actually related," said Ryan, looking just a little bit lost. "Unless it's a really bad translation of the Kama Sutra, in which case it's not exactly the most appropriate topic for class."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves!

[nottrivial]

"...Is that a real thing?"

Alec knew of some pretty weird stuff that they served at Taki's Diner, but faeries ate there. So they probably didn't serve faerie meat.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves!

[selfhelphero]

"I'm hoping not. Unless maybe it's meat made by fairies?" Billy said. "That sounds... slightly better."

Rapunzel frowned slightly in consternation. "I don't think I've met Lenore yet... Is..." Her frown deepened. "I don't even know if Lenore is a boy's or a girl's name!"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves!

[wasthecuteone]

"I think in this case it's a town," Petra said. "In Idaho." She paused, then added, "Also, Lenore is usually a girl's name."

"Where's Ubuntu?" Rilla asked plaintively. "Is it in Japan?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves!

[walkswithcoyote]

"The sphynx," Mercy said doubtfully. "Well... I suppose there are worse things to talk about."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves!

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Idaho. Um. Don't know it. Lenore? Maybe they named it after some chick who got lost?"

Talk to the Teachers and TAs

[justlurkinghere]

When they ping in!

Re: Talk to the Teachers and TAs

[justlurkinghere]

Derek was still there if only because he hadn't been able to find an escape route as soon as the discussion portion of the class had started. Damn classrooms!

Re: Talk to the Teachers and TAs

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

Juliet was around, and ready to make additional conversation if anybody ended up short a partner.

Re: Talk to the Teachers and TAs

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie was excited to talk to any of the students about anything.

Anything.

Re: Talk to the Teachers and TAs

[walkswithcoyote]

Mercy was here in case anyone needed help, um... talking.

OOC

[justlurkinghere]

NO YOU'RE NOT, DEREK.
