Leadership and Teamwork, Tuesday, January 21, 2020 [1st period]

There was a quiz already queued up for the class when they arrived. Or there was supposed to be, but it just kept glitching no matter what the teachers attempted.

"So, some technical difficulties today," Tony said, giving the computer an annoyed look.

"One of the time-tested and...well, not exactly all that helpful, but a good ice breaking approach, is for a new team to take a personality test to see how different people approach different problems," Steve said. "There have been ones about colored parachutes, ones that are about introversion and extroversion, and we were trying to get one of those for you to take. What we keep getting, though--"

"Is from Buzzfeed." Which clearly did not impress either teacher.

"And about food." Steve waved his hand. "So take a test on your weird food opinions and we'll...work with the results."

Somehow.

"We'll make it work," Tony added with some forced cheer.

Jules looked over the list on the quiz again, listing them off:

"Mayonnaise, black licorice, candy corn, white chocolate, pineapples- I've had pizza, actually, since coming here, but I don't know what a pineapple is. Tofu, kale, and coconuts."

So... basically anything that involved a significant amount of processing, or hadn't grown on Fennbirn.

Oh, Jules, Steve loved mayonnaise in that 1930s way where it was in pretty much all the food.

"Mayonnaise is a mix of oil and eggs that's whipped together until it becomes a spread and then is put in salads, onto sandwiches--" In cake. On Jello. Stop them, Jules. "--and many other places. Licorice, candy corn, and white chocolate are candies, and pineapple on pizza is a crime."

Not really.

It was entirely possible she'd at least had mayonnaise in the almost-a-year since she'd been on the island, even if she hadn't actually know that's what it was. The rest was still new. And-

"What's the problem with pineapple, exactly?"

"It doesn't belong on pizza," Steve said. "Pizza has cheese, sauce, and pepperoni. Maybe sausage. No fruit."

Re: Discuss!

[legionqueen]

"But isn't the sauce made from tomatoes?" Jules countered. "That's a fruit."

Also she'd definitely had pizza with more than just pepperoni and sausage on it, and enjoyed it just fine.

"And that's sometimes why it's called tomato pie," Steve agreed, "but people who call it that are strange. Tomatoes tend to be used in more savory applications, not desserts."

"That much I know," Jules said with a wry smile. "The village I lived in back home was responsible for most of the hunting and farming for the island."

"So you're going to bring back pizza and become a millionaire?" Steve teased.

Re: Discuss!

[legionqueen]

... Perhaps she would introduce pizza to Fennbirn.

You know, after she got done falling in with a rebellion and all.

"Fennbirn is very... insular," she said, trying to find a way to put it delicately. "People there don't get terribly excited about new ideas, for the most part."

Except for those aforementioned rebels, but she didn't actually know about them yet.

"They'll get excited about pizza," Steve said. "Just don't put pineapple on it."
