fandomhigh | Bad Ass Bitch Life Lessons; Wednesday, First Period [01/15].

"Okay, fuck it," said Rosa, because she could drop F-bombs ever since the network switch, and she threw the piece of chalk she'd been failing to write on the board with out the window (which was, it should be noted, closed at the time, but don't worry, she'll pay for that). By the point, the class had been treated to a variety of different efforts on Rosa's part to present to them the actual lesson she wanted to teach that day (even her notes with the aphorism on it was conveniently rendered unreadable by a spilled cup of coffee), until she finally reached a point where it stopped being worth it, because, honestly? She didn't even care.

Still, she was stubborn, to a fault, but she eventually gave in to her reluctant resignation. "Let's just see what the old bag has to say this week."

She flipped on the projector and braced herself for their next nugget of wisdom:

"Every morning, I punch the clock. And the copier. And the printer. And the vending machine..."

Rosa, having just punched many, many things in the classroom, was feeling very called out.

She glowered a little at the comic (considering punching it), and then sighed. "Okay," she said, turning to the class. "We can work with this one. Punching things. It doesn't always work," as they had clearly seen demonstrated that day, "but it does always make you feel better. And then there are times when it does work, and that's pretty bad ass. Punching."

Yay, advocating casual violence!

"Discuss."

Maybe if Rosa didn't know who you were, Nina, she might have considered believing it, but as they stood, that was about as convincing as when Santiago insisted she loooved dogs despite being deathly allergic.

"Never?" she asked dryly, quirking a brow. "Really." Then lifted her chin. "Why not?"

"I mean, like, that's so hard on your hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said, stubbornly maintaining her flower of femininity vibe as much as possible. "You don't know where someone else's face has been!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Rosa at least had to appreciate the effort.

"That is true," she allowed. "There are a lot of nasty faces out there."

And she liked to think she'd punched many of them, indeed.

"But it's the 'never' part that I'm having trouble with. A Bad Ass Bitch should always be ready and willing to punch someone...or something...if it comes down to it...no matter how nasty."

Again. She had punched many nasty faces. And would gladly punch them again.

And again. And again.

"And, like, I totally understand that in some circumstances that I'll have to make due," she said earnestly. "Which is why I am never without a book or the ability to set people on fire................"

Really now, Rosa. Why punch people when you could light them on fire?

... though it was hard to be a flower given that statement alas.

Well, for one thing, punching had a much smaller risk of other things setting on fire...

But Rosa smirked, juuuuuust a little, because, yeah. Yeah.

"Generally," she noted, "I feel that the fire thing should be a bit closer to the last resort side of things," sidenote, Nina, arson was bad, please don't, the paperwork for it was a bitch, she should know, because of all the apartments she'd burned down because people she'd worked with had been in there once, "but I do like the personal touch of smacking someone with a book."

If someone or something was trying to hurt her, Nina had zero problems setting them on fire.

"They never expect it," she said brightly, "and, like, if you're searched for weapons, they barely ever realize that trashy romance novels count............"

"You don't, like...have an ability or anything where, I guess, the trashier the novel, the harder it hits, do you?"

Look. She'd heard Nina's radios, and she'd been living on this island way too long, it seemed totally plausible, to the point where she might actually be disappointed if the answer was no.

Nina's radios were a national treasure, don't even!

"I mean, like, I've never quantified that," she mused thoughtfully. "But it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility..............."
