Civics, Friday, September 1, 2017
"One more day," Tony said as class began. "You made it through the first week of the semester with, hopefully, minimal damage. I'm Tony Stark, you can call me Tony if you want. And this--" He paused, glancing over at his teaching partner.
"I'm Steve Rogers. Please don't call me Steve. It's strange."
TONY.
"This is civics class--the study of our government, which will hopefully lead to greater understanding of how it works. Or doesn't, depending."
Welcome to class where your teachers vented about the current political situation going on off the island. It was fun. Sort of.
Tony tried very hard to look cheerful as he added, "If you are new to this place or come from a different time, planet, or governmental system, we will be focusing on the version of democracy practiced within the United States we currently reside in. This timeline. This awful, awful timeline."
"But if it's not your real one, it's an excellent case study in what not to do," Steve said, trying to be optimistic. "Today's going to be the last time you'll have to do introductions, we promise."
"Until next semester. Sorry." Tony was not sorry at all. "But we'll let you off easy because it's Friday and you've been through enough. Tell us your name and your experience with government and we'll do something both political and crafty."

Re: Craft time!
Because that was the important thing, here.

And she stopped there, tilting her head. "Actually, I'm, like, not totally sure what purpose the glitter is, like, supposed to serve? But it, like, works?"
Re: Craft time!
Which, Peridot supposed, was the point.
"And gets into everything."
Possibly also the point?
Re: Craft time!
Oooh, she liked that.
