Kanan, in sixteen-bit and clad head to toe in the most ridiculous tanuki onesie the world had possibly ever seen, crossed his arms over his chest and... mostly just stood there looking at his class as though daring them to say anything about it, today.

"It's mushrooms and turtles this week, apparently," he said, "and apparently they're biters. But - and admittedly this is the case for most things - just stomping on their heads should be enough to fend them off, and they're easy enough to avoid anyway. So, with that in mind, today we're going to go hit some bricks. In groups. And then we're going to collect whatever comes out. So far I've found money and," sigh, "a leaf."

He didn't want to talk about it.

"The money's pretty straightforward. Pocket it, spend it wherever, I guess. I don't care. What we're looking for are more leaves, or whatever else there is that might help us get the upper hand this week." He sighed again, and then gestured to himself. "You end up stuck in one of these after you grab the leaf, but the tail lets you fly for... whatever reason. So it might be useful. Or at least fun."

Possibly a little redundant if you could already leap tall buildings in a single bound, but okay.

"I have no idea what else is in those blocks yet, hell, most of them have nothing at all, so let's all pair off and take a look around the campus."

He'd regret this the moment one of his students ran through holding a flower and throwing fireballs.

Like your teacher wants you to break stuff.

Prince Sidon

Sabine Wren

Billy Batson

Lana Beniko

Okuyasu Nijimura

First person to giggle about the onesie gets detention.

Lana was very carefully not giggling. Smirking a little, yes, and maybe sort of almost chuckling, but definitely not giggling!

You never know what you might find! Kanan is around to make certain nobody gets in over their heads with goombas and koopas, and it's all a bit of a free-for-all besides. Break some floating blocks. End up in a frog suit that lets you breathe underwater, or grabbing a star that grants you a short burst of invincibility. Maybe the fire flower is more your speed, but please don't burn down the school.

And then there are the mushrooms, if you ever wanted to know what it was like to be roughly twice your usual height.

That won't at all be inconvenient, right? But at least whatever power-up you get seems to grant you an extra layer of protection until something bites you. So there's that.

Yes, because that was exactly what Sidon needed to find after busting open a few of those blocks: a mushroom that made him roughly twice his usual height.

He, of course, though, was loving it. "Ha-ha!" he bellowed, with en excited pump of his fist. "So this is what it'll feel like to be king!"

Of course, being twice Sidon's height meant being so big you really couldn't see what was going on around your ankles very well, meaning it didn't take too long for him to get bit by one of those turtles and shrink back down to his usual proportions with no small amount of disappointment.

"Ah, well," he said, then grinned, hoping up on a few blocks to reach some that were a little higher, "I suppose I'll just have to find another!"

Fireballs! Okay, this was fun. Lana had a flower.

Sparkle called what he's wearing a raccoon suit. He's not convinced it isn't a Loth-Cat.

They're both wrong, it's a tanuki.

Anyway, he's around if anyone has a burning need to tell him how great he looks in sixteen bits with fuzzy ears and a big fluffy tail.

"Ohmygod."

Summer listened to radio, Kanan. She knew what was up and that you had class today and now she was here to bear witness to it with her own two little pixel eyes and to take all the sixteen-bit pictures of it, too.

"... Not you too, Summer."

Yes, Kanan. Yes, Summer, too.

"Yup," said Summer, unapologetically, as she turned her phone to get a better angle. Because there was just so many different angles you could take advantage of when everything was pixelated, yup. "Me, too, BDG. And this is even more glorious than I had pictured it when I heard Sparkle losing his shit.

"Do you think, when this whole thing passes, the pictures will go back to normal or stay pixelated? Either way, I mean, amazing. AH. MAZE. ING. Truly. I think we might have a whole new look we need to consider for you, Beeg."

"... I have no idea, Summer," Kanan deadpanned. You could tell by his tone of voice. His expression really didn't change much.

It had already been deadpan.

"But I can tell you now, this isn't sticking around if I can help it."

"But it looks so comfy!" Summer protested, trying not to laugh. And finally stopping with the photos. "I mean, come on. Just think about it. Think about comfortable that would be on a long, long trip through the expanse of space. And then if you got into trouble, you wouldn't have to worry, because the bad guys'll be too busy laughing to even start shooting."

She blinked her little pixel eyes and gave the sweetest smile she could muster, which was, admittedly, still pretty sweet.

So, it was, probably, a costume. Probably. But the way Kanan's pixel tail puffed up and the way his ears slicked back definitely suggested otherwise.

"I can't even take a seat in any chair with a back to it," he muttered. "Too much tail."

So, so much tail.

"I didn't ask for this," he added.

Kanan, you touched the leaf.

"No, you didn't," Summer agreed, and it was a bit harder to pull off sympathy in her smile there, but she did feel the tilt of her head, the waggle of her pixel-ponytail added at least a little something to it. "But, there are fates far worse than being stuck in an adorable raccoon suit, too."

Kanan paused a moment, and then shrugged and supplied, "It could be the frog suit."

Stance got that one.

...

...

"....there's a frog one???"

And if you had trouble telling if that was indignation or delight, don't worry. It was definitely both.

"There," Kanan said, pulling out a sixteen bit phone to show Summer a sixteen bit photo of his dog, happily panting away clad in his own personal frog onesie by the duck pond, "is a frog one."

Kanan had taken the photo of Stance partly because he knew people were going to want to see it, and partly as a distraction from the weirdest urge he'd had to shoot at the ducks that morning during Stance's walk.

When she tags in!

Sabine was here ~~and totally did not get sucked into RL~~.

I wanna play Mario RPG again. The Final Fantasy-iest of the Marios.
