Sam Eagle Presents WeirDONT'S: How Not To Be A Weirdo, Monday, Period Five, 5/15

[but_mostly_america]

The flag hanging on the wall was at Sam’s back and he was standing at attention behind his podium as the students for his class filed in.

He produced a pocketwatch, glanced at its face, then cleared his throat as soon as it was time for the class to begin.

“Welcome back, students!”

Sam peered at everyone. "Today, my fine young students, we will be discussing clothing!"

Were any of you wearing anything weird today? Too bad!

"I am firm believer in uniforms. If everyone wears the same thing then none of you will stand out and none of you will look weird! However that does not seem to be an option on this absurd island so I suppose you will all continue making your own unfortunate sartorial choices. "

Sam was judging all of you right now. Yes, even you. Especially you, Beaker.

"To not be weird I recommend wearing subdued colors! Nothing too flashy. Certainly nothing unwholesome. For that matter, nothing full of holes! Particularly holes from science experiments gone wrong." Beaker.

"Your clothing should blend in with those around you! And it should always be appropriate for the occasion. Wearing a bathing costume at the beach is all well and good but it should never be worn in a formal setting."

Sam glared around the room.

"Clothing with jokes on it should never be worn. Not even if you are a comedian performing on The Muppet Show!"

"Sequins and glitter are weird in most instances! Spikes are unacceptable at all times. Clothing that is deliberately distressed is both weird and a waste of money!"

Sam shook his head and took a deep breath.

"Weird fashion choices that can be made are endless. However, there are stylists who can guide you to the correct choices and tailors and seamstresses to ensure your clothing fits. Naturally, over- and undersized clothing would fall into the weird category. For today, let us examine your outfits to determine whether or not you have dressed weirdly!"

Sam looked around the room, hoping for a volunteer to begin.

Will all of you be deemed weird?

Yeah, probably.

Well, considering even his normal clothes had to be made to accommodate certain *ahem* features, such as three fingers two toes and a tail... yeah Kurt had a feeling even the fairly basic clothes he had worn were going to ping on the weirdness meter.

Does a brown leather jacket, matching headband, black pants, and snazzy weapon count as weird? If so, then Gojyo was proudly presenting the fashion trend today.

Gray looked down at his outfit of the day: a t-shirt as shown above, pastel pink and blue tie-dye pajama pants, and pale blue Chucks, worn unlaced because tying them would have been far too much effort and he probably would have fallen asleep in the middle of it.

He felt suddenly that he needed to add some glitter.

Graham was always eager to talk about his clothes and dashing knightly fashion!

"My mom made this cloak for me!" he announced, lifting it up to the side so everyone could admire her fine handiwork. "And look! It has pockets!"

He reached his hand into one said pocket, surprisingly deep, and pulled out a bag of jelly beans that was far too large to have possibly fit into the folds of that cloak.

"See? And this," he doffed his hat for a moment, to admire that as well, "is my Adventurer's Cap! I never leave home without it!"

His tunic, boots, and leggings were all pretty generic, though, and probably didn't garner much comment or attention.

"Pockets are a very useful item," said the large felt bird who clearly did not have any such thing in his nonexistent clothing.

"I am not sure that they ought to be used for storing candy and capes are quite unusual. They stand out, as does that hat! I cannot complain about honoring your parent by wearing their work, however!"

Eleanor was actually wearing something that looked like a private school uniform.

Because it was. She didn't have a log of need for clothes at St. Brigid's, and she still had a lot of the clothes from Ggrandmère, but it felt....wrong, to wear a lot of them.

Maybe now that she had a job, she could save some money for new ones, but for now, she shrugged.

"They had uniforms at my last school," she offered, by wah of explanation. "It made deciding what to wear every day pretty easy."

Re: Class Activity: Defend Your Fashion Choices [5/15]

"Excellent," Sam said approvingly. "And you have continued to wear them. That is an excellent choice, young lady! You look very normal."

Re: Class Activity: Defend Your Fashion Choices [5/15]

[what_big_teeth]

Eleanor was tempted to point out that wearing a uniform at a school that didn't have one, especially a uniform for a different school that did, seemed pretty weird to her, but if the large talking bird teacher thought she was normal....who was she to disavow him of that notion?

It was definitely a first for her, too.

"Thank you, sir."

Arthur was dressed in a way that would probably be considered slightly odd by people nowadays, though who knows what Sam would think.

He was in a suit with a somewhat old-fashioned cut, waistcoat, tie, and all, and his hat sat on the desk in front of him.
