Patriotism Yay!: Period 2, Week 1

[screwyoumarvel]

Steve was waiting for his new students in a small clearing this morning. "Good morning!" he said cheerfully. "I'm Steve Rogers, and I'll be your instructor, which you probably knew already. And in this workshop, we will be discussing patriotism and what it means to be a patriot. We'll start off with introductions. Everybody tell me your name,

Introductions

[screwyoumarvel]

"My name is Steve Rogers, as I said before, I'm from New York City, and I recently turned ninety."

Re: Introductions

"I'm Turtle Wexler," Turtle introduced herself with an excited bounce because she was really looking forward to this class. "I'm from Westingtown, Wisconsin, and I'm co-owner of the Turtle & Canary store right here on Fandom Island! Serving all your general goods needs!"

Leave it to Turtle to work an advertisement into her introduction.

Re: Introductions

[screwyoumarvel]

"Yes, thank you, Miss Wexler," Steve said dryly. "And while capitalism is a large part of America's national identity, I'll have to ask you not to advertise in my class."

Turtle's nose wrinkled, and she bit her lip against an unabashed grin. "Sorry, Mister Rogers," she said. "Habit. Does this include wearing any t-shirts to class that might have the T&C logo on them? Because that's advertising, too, it's just very subtle. In fact, keeping up a general good appearance overall is subtle advertising, as the community knows my position as proprietor, and any impression of myself I leave on others ends up being a impression on my store."

She pressed her lips together, her face pink from the effort of not giggling. She was in one of her moods today.

Patriotism According To You

Go!

"Patriotism, to me," Turtle said, sucking in a deep breath because she wanted to make her Uncle Sam (the real one, not the fake one on the posters) proud, "is upholding the values in which your country was founded on, even if it isn't the easiest path to choose."

Re: Patriotism According To You

[bookyeve]

"Ohh, dear." Evie bit her lip, then said slowly, "Loyalty to one's *country*, but not one particular faction or set of political interests." She chewed her lip. "Except that sometimes that's difficult if they are two countries you're wanting to be loyal too."

"I believe it's loving your country and trying to do what you think is right for it," Sabriel said after a moments thought.

Talk to Steve

[screwyoumarvel]

After class, Steve hung around for a bit in case anyone wanted to speak to him.

Lana stopped by to talk to the professor. "Hi, I just wanted to let you know that Jim Ellison's dad pulled him out of school for the week, which is why he's not here today. He should be here next week."

He'd better be back next week!

Re: Talk to Steve

[screwyoumarvel]

"Pulled him out of school?" Steve asked, alarmed. "Is everything all right?"

Re: Talk to Steve

[lovelylana]

Lana nodded a bit glumly. "I think everything's fine. His father just does this periodically to check on Jim, make sure he still jumps whenever his father calls."

OOC

[screwyoumarvel]

Because preventing the world from ending is patriotic. Really.
