Show and Tell, Tuesday, Period Two
Funny thing about teaching a no-brainer class? Sparkle looked way more comfortable up at the front of the classroom this week than he did at the front of the classroom last semester. This one, hopefully, was going to be way less intimidating to teach than that one about 'urban survival.'
Which was not a hard bar to skip over, admittedly.
"Hey, guys," Sparkle said, offering people a little grin. "I'm Sparkle," yes, really, shut up, "and this class is basically my excuse to keep my teaching cred without putting out any real effort."
He gave the students in the room a grin. Maybe he was even joking! Who knew!
"Fortunately, it's easy marks for you guys, too, right? If you aren't from a place where 'show and tell' was a normal thing when you were growing up, it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Presumably it's supposed to help people work on, like, public speaking or whatever, so sure, we're gonna go with that. You bring something in, show it off, and then tell the class a little bit about it. I'm not going to leave you at a total loss for what to bring in every week, hell, I'm gonna try to keep this fun, too, but this week we're gonna have to keep it pretty simple. Name, how you ended up in this class, and show off and tell the class about one random piece of clothing or item in your pockets."
He grinned.
"I'll start. I'm Sparkle, I already told you why I'm teaching this class, and..." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue, kind of plastic-looking bill. "... And I guess I still have Canadian money on me because, hell if I even know. This is five bucks. Five bucks Canadian. It's pretty useless here, but it's got some old guy on the back and space dudes on the front? I think that's the Canadarm or whatever it's called. You can pass it around if you want while you guys do your introductions, just so long as I get it back when you're done. And go."

"It can record holos too, right?" Sparkle had to check. "Like, if you didn't have a mirror around and wanted to know if your hair was looking good from the back too, could you totally just, like, project a holo of yourself and turn it around to be sure?"
This was why the GFFA wasn't ready for Sparkle.

See Sparkle. See Sparkle enthusiastically making grabby hands.

And then paused.
"... Is that Candy Crush?"

He was just barely resisting the urge to open it and play a level or two, yes.
