Patriotism Yay!: Period 2, Week 1

Jul 10, 2007 21:32

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, ( Read more... )

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

"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.

"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.

The attempt to not giggle did not go unnoticed. Steve folded his arms and arched one eyebrow. "Congratulations, Miss Wexler, you've just shown yourself to be intelligent enough to figure out those answers on your own. Cross the line into using my class for promotional purposes, and we'll talk detention." Years hanging out with Tony Stark had taught Steve all about being too smart for your own good.

Re: Introductions stocksgrrl July 11 2007, 21:37:05 UTC

"Yes, sir," Turtle said, with seemingly the utmost respect, while dreams of recreating her detention-every-week ambitions frollicked in her head.

"I'm Evie Carnahan, I'm a hundred and six years old, or sixteen, I'm from London and Cairo, and I almost fell off the dorm roof once!" Evie smiled around the room, then added, "And an American and an Englishman from Narnia rescued me!"

Re: Introductions socksofcool July 11 2007, 09:04:54 UTC

"I'm Seely Booth, I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and technically I'm both eighteen and in my late thirties."

Re: Introductions bookyeve July 11 2007, 20:39:47 UTC

"Oooo, you too?" Evie beamed at Seely. "I didn't know that about you. Time travel is rather confusing, isn't it?"

Re: Introductions socksofcool July 12 2007, 03:20:42 UTC

"Yeah," Seely grinned back. "That's why I try not to think about it that much."

Re: Introductions bookyeve July 12 2007, 03:26:38 UTC

"I wish I could not think about it, but then there's television and CD's, and it's rather unavoidable... but now I have a real birth certificate! And a Driver's License!" If that ever got back to Deadpool, he'd have a heart attack. "So I can function as if I belong here!"

Re: Introductions socksofcool July 12 2007, 03:31:58 UTC

"I'll admit most of the stuff takes getting used to," Seely said. "But most of it's pretty shiny."

Re: Introductions bookyeve July 12 2007, 03:43:18 UTC

"True. Although I don't know that I could ever be an American of this century." Evie bit her lip, shaking her head. "Things just go too fast, and I adore the loud movies and the music, but... no. I look forward to going home eventually too much." She cocked her head. "Are the 1980's very different? By comparison?"

Re: Introductions socksofcool July 12 2007, 03:51:12 UTC

"They had worse clothes," Seely said. "Really bad."

Re: Introductions bookyeve July 12 2007, 03:53:10 UTC

"Oh dear! And you're going back to that?" Evie gave him a sad look. "I think I shall miss pants. But they're evidently coming into style in about five or ten years, and I shall be able to wear them again. I suppose it's nice to know you have decent fashion to look forward to?"

Re: Introductions socksofcool July 12 2007, 04:01:06 UTC

"Yeah, it is, I guess," Seely said softly.
