"A couple weeks ago, the President of the United States gave a State of the Union address," Josh said. "And every single State of the Union includes the phrase 'the state of our Union is strong,' which is usually a completely bullshit answer. Today I'm going to give you a terrible scenario--your job is going to bullshit your way out of it in a way that would make people applaud you, even if it's only for your complete audacity."

He smiled. "This should be fun."

Face gave an impassioned speech about comfort and fashion. By the end of it, it was entirely possible that some of his classmates might have forgotten their clothes weren't actually flannel pajamas.

Uh.

"Well, it's unfortunately falling on me to break this news to you that girls will have to leave the school immediately."

He swallowed and tried to think of some good reasoning for them having to leave.

"But, that's because the school's sending you on an all expenses paid cruise for the duration of the school year! You'll be having much more fun there than you would be here!"

...yep.

"My fellow students," Raven said. It seemed like an appropriately political way to start. "I have one word for you in these troubled times: radio."

She went on to explain that while the televisions were borked, the radios, books, and internet were still working fine. With their help, it was Raven's plan to unplug all the televisions in the common rooms and replace them with high quality stereo equipment and well stocked bookshelves -- and sure, maybe a big computer monitor or two if they really needed to watch something. "This need not be a time of stress! Instead, let's look at it as a time to expand our minds and our imaginations! Television is dead, but our social lives don't have to be!"

"Dear classmates, I am a decorated superhero. I have personally thwarted alien invasions - plural - a demonic infestation, giant monsters, ancient horrors, and so much more. The potential end of the world is something I know well. What I know just as well is seeing the world continue on its merry way," Johnny said. He held a hand out, reaching directly to the class with his plea, "So when I tell you that there is an asteroid hurtling toward the Earth, I want you to know full well that this is nothing I haven't seen before, and it's nothing that can't be handled."

"After all, when it comes to something from space causing trouble, what's scarier? A spaceship full of world-devouring monsters or a big ole' rock? I'd be more scared of the monsters, personally, and you know what? I'm not even scared of that. This will be taken care of shortly."
