Loki was more than a bit excited to start this club up. Because it would grant him power over people. As Student Council did very little to allow him to boss people around other than for dances.

So...

"Greetings, those who wish to become cheerleaders! I am Loki and this is Jessica. We will be judging you today." Judging you so much.

"We may not know the first thing about cheerleading, but it's not like that kept us from restarting the squad in the first place," Jessica said, doing her best to set the bar low. "We also only have one sports team, and I'm not even sure who they play against. But again, not stopping us. Such is the power of cheerleading." She sounded very convinced.

They were a former genocidal villain and the cross-gender clone of Spider-Man. They could do anything. "It is lacrosse. There are sticks," Loki informed her helpfully. "I have learned from Wikipedia, that this involves cheering and gymnastics. So, we ask that you give us an example of both things."

Try it in iambic pentameter. He dared you.

"If you want to use pom-poms for either portion, we found the squad's old equipment and dusted it off, so you don't have to worry about making yourself sneeze in the middle of spelling something," Jessica said. "Unless you're allergic to spelling, in which case what are you even doing in a school?"

"...right." Loki was judging your quips in preparation of the potential cheerleaders, Jessica. "So, we hope to see your best. And if you did not sign up at the club fair, we are still taking all those who are interested."

"Yeah, cheerleading is gross," Gert shared when it came to be her turn. Shared this with the cheerleaders, yes. "But I was told snacks might be a part of this process--" wrong-- "and it seems like this gym is better-heated than my room, so."

She scuffed the floor with her shoe, sighed dramatically, and lazily thrust one fist in the air. "Go team."

Yay! Did she do cheerleading?

"Just so you know, the bake sale will be cancelled if you make a point to insult cheerleading during the meetings," Jessica said. "We're not asking for much here."

"I was thinking of 'gross' as kind of a neutral word," Gert clarified. "No more 'gross.' Got it."

"You have an interesting definition of 'neutral,'" Jessica said. "Also, there are not 144 of us."

"Sorry. I needed to make that joke." Neeeeerd.

"You're telling me," Gert said. "This is a real haven for any potential cheerleaders with performance anxiety."

Because there were like five people here.

Jessica was a little disappointed that the pun went completely unremarked upon, but that wasn't going to get her down. "It just means we've weeded out the people who aren't serious about it," Jessica said. "Okay, that's not true, but let me have my misguided beliefs."

Sorry, Jess. Perils of being the nerdiest member of this weird, weird cheerleading squad.

"You're asking me to not raise my eyebrows in response to the idea that Loki takes anything seriously, ever."

Just checking!

"I would never ask that. I'm just asking that you let me believe that you're raising your eyebrows because your nose is itchy and you don't want to go crazy scratching it," Jessica said.

"I don't make stuff up for just anyone," Gert warned, but when she let her eyebrows shoot up, she dutifully deadpanned, "Ow. My nose."

Itching didn't usually inspire 'Ow's, but she was close.

"I appreciate it," Jessica said, giving a thankful grin.
