Oh the Humanity!: Friendship is International Adventure, Thursday, period 1

Mar 09, 2016 23:54

Pinkie waited for the students today wearing large mirrored sunglasses and several dozen paper shopping bags tucked at crazy angles across her withers and around her front legs. "Hiya everypony!" she called, waving frantically and setting the bags rustling and fluttering in a way that indicated in so uncertain terms that they were all entirely ( Read more... )

Watch Eliot somehow instantly blend in (does he know someone everywhere?)! Watch Pinkie get trailed around shopping malls by Korean teenagers taking pictures!

Pinkie was making so many new friends!

Eliot went straight for the hotteok. Seriously, world tour of street food. He was totally going to have to do that this summer.

Right before it was time for the portal, Kathy showed up, wearing a new hanbok and arms practically covered in bags. Rather than saying anything, Kathy just beamed at him, before bringing her hands together and performing a deep, sincere bow.

Eliot had collected more than a few bags himself, all full of produce, condiments, spices, and teas from around town. He smiled and bowed back, only slightly awkwardly.

"You have fun, darlin'?"

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 10 2016, 06:19:56 UTC

There was probably a ridiculous amount of overlap in their bags. The other best thing about portals? NO CUSTOMS. Bwahahah.

"I did!" she said, as if her grin wasn't bright enough to prove it. "You know, this is the first time I've ever come to Seoul and got to do touristy stuff?"

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 10 2016, 06:24:42 UTC

"Usually stuck followin' your family's lead?" Eliot guessed. "Surprised they didn't drag you around town to all the cultural stuff. My mom always made us hit up the tourist traps when guests were in town."

You know, all those hot Oklahoma City sights.

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 10 2016, 06:28:44 UTC

"Oh, we did cultural stuff," Kathy assured him. "Had to teach the American cousins what was what. But it wasn't--it wasn't this kind of stuff. Nothing quite so bright and colorful. If there were white people taking pictures of it, then it was too touristy for my grandma."

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 10 2016, 06:31:31 UTC

Eliot chuckled. "Fair 'nough. You could come back, you know. On your own, take more time to see all the crappy tourist stuff. You kids oughta be takin' all kinds of advantage of that portal system."

Even when it went wonky and left you stranded for a little while in the world without shrimp.

"You know what? I think I will, this summer," Kathy said, eyes bright. "It'll be my last summer to get to do this kind of thing. And Raven's always trying to get me to relax. Maybe I'll do a whirlwind tour of the globe with a bunch of friends--you know, stay in hostels, eat random foods, decide that day whether we're going to go full on tourist trap or stay more authentic for the region..."

Literally anything was possible at Fandom. Why should she limit herself.

"You know, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this 'being a kid' thing."

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 10 2016, 06:49:36 UTC

"Just in time," Eliot noted with a wry smile. "You know, I been thinkin' about what to do for the summer myself. Leanin' towards a street food tour kinda thing. You think your fellow kids would be into that?"

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 10 2016, 07:02:41 UTC

"Ooooh!" Kathy said. "Wait, are you asking if a bunch of teenagers would be down with a class all about street food from around the world? Most emphatically yes, Eliot!" She dimpled at him. "I'll be your TA again if you want!"

More food for Kathy, yes good.

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 10 2016, 07:04:31 UTC

"Dunno, sounds like you've got yourself some plans already. Backpackin' 'round the world is a fine tradition. You don't want an old man crampin' your style."

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 10 2016, 07:13:09 UTC

"But I have to take at least two classes each summer session," Kathy pointed out. "Otherwise I won't count as a student. So I come back for class, then use it as a jumping off point to go, well, anywhere else."

Re: Talk to your teachers vdistinctive March 10 2016, 07:18:09 UTC

"Well. I suppose if you're gonna be all logical about it. . . ."

Re: Talk to your teachers spin_kick_snap March 10 2016, 14:58:30 UTC

"Besides, you'd miss your favorite TA if she didn't stick around for her last semester on the island at least a little bit," Kathy said, dimpling at him.
