Friendship is Always in Fashion, Thursday - Period 1

[justlurkinghere]

Pinkie had spent ages today decorating the classroom to get the mood just right. There were fancy banners with stylized unicorn heads on the walls, golden columns topped with decorative hearts in the corners, and even a giant ice sculpture of a swan next to the door.

Pinkie herself was similarly decked out, wearing the dress Rarity had made her for the Grand Galloping Gala, and looking absolutely delighted to be there.

Because, well, one of the teachers should be, right?

And Derek, on the other hand, was just wearing a suit and tie for the occasion. No, he wasn't smiling. Don't get your hopes up, Pinkie Pie. His contribution to the decorations came in the form of nothing exploding glitter on the class. So. You're welcome, kids.

"Today you're learning about formalwear." Aaaaaaaaand, Derek?

That's alright, Derek, Pinkie was practically vibrating in anticipation and would gladly take up the explaining. "And haute couture!" she gleed. "Which is the fancy-pants way of saying an outfit is handmade and really fancy-pants!"

That was the technical definition, kids. I hope you're taking notes. Detailed notes.

Derek sighed, not about to correct the terminology. Because that meant more time talking to students than strictly necessary. "Suits for men, dresses for women. Sometimes suits for women. Just watch a red carpet sometime if you want to see more examples."

"And sometimes dresses for men, too," Pinkie noted, because hey, let's not leave anyone out here, Derek! "Like that purple sparkly one I found for you that would have really shown off your cheekbones."

Why did Derek submit himself to this class every week? Oh right. Because his life was pain. "I have a suit," he ground out. "I'm not wearing a dress."

No matter how flattering it looked with his shoulder to waist ratio.

"You're such a party pooper," Pinkie said, somehow managing to make it sound both sad and fond at the same time. "Anyway, kids, it's time to get your swank on!" Wait, their what? "We've got lots of dresses and suits of all sorts for everypony! Feel free to mix and match. That's where the real fashion comes from."

Dress Up!

[justlurkinghere]

In whatever style you liked best! There was a variety of moddable formal-wear and what could, in some way, be considered haute couture.

Look, Jackson wasn't struggling against a task! It was a Thursday morning miracle! He was perfectly content finding a suit that was juuust right.

Mavis was... here! Without a scowling (though very snazzily dressed) Carpathian Count looming over her shoulder, even.

Only because he could loom almost as well from the hallway, but shh, let her pretend she's a big puppy and can go to class all by her own self.

Unfortunately her unloomed shoulder was still less than a foot off the ground and she still lacked opposable thumbs for things like dressing up.

Thus the black wolf puppy with the big blue eyes and the red satin bow-tie in her mouth, bouncing around the room and whining plaintively at anyone who looked like they might be willing to fasten it for her.

Talk to the Teachers

When they ping in!

Derek was, of course, there. And looking a little uncomfortable in his tie.

Megan had found the classrooms.

Fear.

She began with an "AAAAAAA!" and ended with a "YOU ARE SO MUCH HOTTER IN REAL LIFE."

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[justlurkinghere]

"What." HE NEEDED AN ADULT. HE NEEDED AN ADULT.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[boocontinuity.livejournal.com]

SHE WAS EIGHTEEN. THAT WAS AN ADULT. LEGAL AND EVERYTHING. HINT HINT.

"You are like, my idol. And you're definitely my favorite character to write," she squeed. "I'm such a sucker for the brooding loner who secretly cares about people trope."

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[justlurkinghere]

NOT THAT KIND OF ADULT.

"What."

Re: Talk to the Teachers

"I mean, my priest AU, where you've become a man of the cloth after so much trauma and then meet altar boy Stiles and then you two do it in a confessional? I wrote that like a year ago and people still comment on it," Megan told him. "Ooh, do you think we can see that here? Or is there a copyright thing?"

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[justlurkinghere]

THAT ALL SOUNDED HORRIBLE.

Derek was backing away from the clearly crazy woman before this got out of hand. And he cried ever so prettily.

Pinkie was here, occasionally striking a fabulous pose in her Grand Galloping Gala dress.

She loved the hat especially. It was so cute!

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[boocontinuity.livejournal.com]

"OH. MY. GOD. I THOUGHT YOU WERE CGI."

Meet Megan, Pinkie.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[locointhecoco]

"OMIGOSH!" Pinkie answered back, matching enthusiasm for enthusiasm. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS!"

Pinkie could squee high enough that only Derek and Puppy Joe could hear it. Beat that, Megan.

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[boocontinuity.livejournal.com]

She couldn't! But she could make it a life goal!

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE COMPUTER GENERATED. BUT YOU'RE NOT. YOU'RE A REAL LIFE PINK PONY."

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[locointhecoco]

"Oh, well, yeah," Pinkie flicked one hoof in a 'no biggie' gesture. "Humans make that mistake aaaaaaaaaaaall the time around here. Human worlds are sadly lacking in proper ponies."

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[boocontinuity.livejournal.com]

"WE SO ARE." She also now believed unicorns were real, and maybe Santa. "Can I take a picture with you? No one is ever going to believe me."

Re: Talk to the Teachers

[locointhecoco]

Well of course unicorns were real! Pinkie didn't know what a Santa was, though.

"Okay!" Pinkie bounced a few times in place. She was even dressed all fancy for the occasion! "Oooo, you should find a fancy outfit to wear for the picture! We have lots!"

OOC
