Intro to Fandom, Monday 12/12, First Period
"Well, everyone," Summer began, with a bit of a gesture of her hands as she looked over the classroom, "you finally did it. You're almost at the end of having completed a first semester here at Fandom High."
“It was a mostly quiet semester,” Stark said. He knew better and you could blame him later in the week when everything started going wrong. “But this place is a lot to take in and a lot to deal with. Making it through your first few months is still very good. I hope we helped, at least a little. Maybe you weren’t too surprised when every building turned edible this morning.” He paused. “Please don’t eat the buildings.”
"What we thought we'd do today," Summer continued with a nod, "is let you guys put together what you think was helpful or useful, either from this class or from your own experiences outside of it, that you'd want to impart to an incoming student. If you'd like, you can even make a little list or guidebook for an incoming student with the next semester, as a way to share your knowledge and wisdom and help make someone else's transition into this place a little easier."
"Maybe your guides will come in useful for the new students that come in," Stark said. "Or for someone else who might try to teach a course like this." Or maybe these two would try it again in the future. Who could say. "We're here if you need help, of course."
"Otherwise," Summer said, "we'll leave you to it and have a look at your progress as you go along, and, not gonna lie, it's a good way for us to see what you took away from the class that you found particlarly helpful, too."

He paused, then grinned. "Unless they're gummy crabs? Jello shaped like crabs?"

"We could decorate them." In a friendly non-vibey fashion.

A pause.
"Or vegan."

"I found a recipe for fried cupcakes but that seems like it may be a bit much."

"And kosher means something meets all the dietary requirements of Jewish law. Do I know what those are? No. But I do know shellfish ain't it."
Re: Talk to the Teachers - Intro to Fandom 12/12
He grinned. "And I'm glad shellfish aren't kosher then. Less likely to sneak into any desserts for the party."
