<AlexVolkov>: It was a cool, autumn afternoon at the Academy. The sky was overcast, dashes of the sun breaking through the veil of clouds at certain intervals. The bell rang through the halls, signifying the start of another lesson.
<AlexVolkov>: [yeah dude, roll a one-shot]
Wrong_Way is walking to his next class
Alina yawns, walking down the halls as she heads down to her next class. Home economics...
<Wrong_Way>: "Hm...I've never been good at sewing. Maybe this class will change that."
AlexVolkov PRAYS TO THE SHRINE OF LENIN]
<Good_Boy>: Class time!
Dibbles is walking around, as he heads... nowhere. He should really remember his schedule sometime
Good_Boy runs from beneath the tree he was under, as he heads to class
<Wrong_Way>: /me passes by Donnie as he just walks in circles
<AlexVolkov>: [lol borked]
<Wrong_Way>: [brb hanging myself]
Wrong_Way passes by Donnie as he just walks in circles
<Wrong_Way>: "Donnie, what class do you have next?"
<Dibbles>: "What? Iunno. What's yours?"
Wrong_Way pulls out his schedule to show. "Home Economics."
<Dibbles>: "...I'll just go there with you, if that's alright."
<Wrong_Way>: "Cool. We're not that far from the room."
Wrong_Way continues walking down to the room with Donnie
Good_Boy waits outside the classroom
Wrong_Way makes it to the Home Economic room and sees GoodBoy hanging out by there
<Wrong_Way>: "Hey Pal."
<AlexVolkov>: Volkov has finally arrived at the school, dragging a burlap sack with him as he marches down the courtyard.
<Good_Boy>: Hello Friend Mark!
<Wrong_Way>: "Is the door locked?"
Alina walks to the door, see's good boy
<Alina>: "Hey pal, feels like its been a long time since we've talked" she smiles
<Good_Boy>: I do not know!
<Good_Boy>: Hello, Friend Alina!
<Good_Boy>: You still smell good!
Wrong_Way checks if the door is locked by trying to open it
<Alina>: "Thanks..." she plays off like she usually does
<AlexVolkov>: As he stops outside the door, he heaves the bag over his shoulder, grunting as it lands. He kicks the door open, an uncontrollable urge to shout fills him. "I HAVE ARRIVED!" he roars, his thick accent loud and clear.
<Dibbles>: "Heheh, I think I'm gonna like this class."
Wrong_Way nearly avoids getting his hand kicked at
<Alina>: ["y-you too" she then spills spaghetti from her pockets and runs away]
<Wrong_Way>: "...I think the door is open now."
Alina looks in surprise at the door kicking
<Good_Boy>: Let us go in!
Good_Boy goes in
<AlexVolkov>: Volkov looks at the students, studying them one by one with a stern frown.
Alina follows, looking at the teacher quizzically
Wrong_Way sighs and he goes into the classroom as well
Dibbles simply ports directly to his seat
Wrong_Way sees Donnie is already in his seat and takes a seat next to him
Alina sits down by donnie as well
<Wrong_Way>: [everyone finds a seat by donnie]
<Alina>: [everybody]
<Wrong_Way>: [all 7 billion people on this planet]
Dibbles is exceptionally pleased that everyone wants to sit by him
<Wrong_Way>: [if they cannot, they simply bow and pray toward donnie]
Good_Boy sits on the ground floor
<Alina>: [pfff]
<Wrong_Way>: [a new religion]
<AlexVolkov>: The man kicks his chair aside,standing behind his desk, as he slams the sack on top of it. "Good morning, class." he says, his expression softening somewhat.
<Wrong_Way>: [people pilgrimage to donnie]
<Wrong_Way>: "Morning..."
<Good_Boy>: Good morning, Friend Teacher!
Dibbles creates a friendship singularity and kills everyone]
<Dibbles>: "Hello!"
<Alina>: "Morning, Mr. Volkov"
Wrong_Way looks to Alina, wondering why she knows the teacher's name.
<AlexVolkov>: "Hmm, I see one girl has read ahead, is good!" he laughs heartily, slapping the sack. "I appreciate student who work hard without prompting."
<AlexVolkov>: "As she say, I am Alexander Volkov, and I will teach you Home Economics."
Dibbles raises his hand
<AlexVolkov>: "Yes, boy that is clearly too young to be here. You must also be showing of great diligence in lesson, which is why you are here. Da, is good."
<Dibbles>: "...what's Home Economics?"
Alina sits content
Wrong_Way is very scared for Donnie
Dibbles is emotionally neutral
<AlexVolkov>: "Ah! Home Economics is simple. Is study of house-related tasks, ranging from textiles, cleaning, and cooking! The art of the pot and pan! The dance of flavors and textures!"
AlexVolkov is clearly whipped up into a frenzy at the mention of cooking
<Dibbles>: "Oooh, I wanna learn how to cook! Awesome!"
<Good_Boy>: I like food!
Dibbles sits rather pumped up at his desk
Wrong_Way rubs the back of his neck, looking very embaressed at the cooking mention
<AlexVolkov>: "The symphony of taste! Oh? Curious of cooking? Da, is marvelous! I like boy already!" he approaches Donnie's desk, leaving a lollipop on his desk. "Here, have this! For being great student at start!"
Dibbles takes the lollipop, amazed by the good fortune already being brought by this class
<Dibbles>: "Thanks!"
<AlexVolkov>: "Now, for first lesson, I planned a simple recipe, one popular with the дети."
<AlexVolkov>: Volkov confidently grabs the sack, flipping it around and dumping a selection of ingredients upon it.
<AlexVolkov>: "PIZZA! IS SNACK FOOD OF GREAT POPULARITY IN AMERICAN LAND!"
Alina watches with wonder
<Good_Boy>: Yes!
<Good_Boy>: Pizza is good!
Dibbles loves pizza and wants to be able to make his own delicious pizzas whenever he wants
<AlexVolkov>: "Ah, I like floor-sitting boy already! Here, have one too!" he says, tossing a lollipop in Good Boy's general direction.
Alina had very little pizza in her homeland of romania, she wishes to remedy this
Wrong_Way looks up happy at the idea of pizza, but realizes that they're going to probably have to make a pizza.
<Good_Boy>: Stick!
Good_Boy chases after the lollipop
<AlexVolkov>: Now, pizza is from the nation of Italy, but what is wonderful is the variety it is capable of! Your pizza can have any toppings you wish! Sweet, spicy or savory! Nothing to stop you, no limits to hold you back! Your creativity is your only blockade, and that is wonderful!
<AlexVolkov>: My darling babushka, bless her heart, always told me children are the treasures of the world.
<AlexVolkov>: To raise them well is to double their value.
<AlexVolkov>: To harm them is the greatest sin a man could commit.
AlexVolkov lowers his head in memory of his babushka
Good_Boy eats the lollipop
<Alina>: "She sounds like a great woman...."
Dibbles can't help but channel Volkov's passion for pizza, growing even more hyped to make his own
<AlexVolkov>: "Now, let us begin to cook! First of all, we must be ready. Aprons are supplied on hooks near sink. Take one and wash hands, then... wait, da, four students, get into pairs of two."
Dibbles looks over to Alina
Wrong_Way figures Donnie is going to team up with Alina and gets up to go to the sink
Alina looks at dibbles who is looking at her
Dibbles smiles
<Alina>: [looking at him looking at her looking at him looking at her...]
<Good_Boy>: Friend Mark!
Wrong_Way turns to goodboy as he's grabbing an apron
<AlexVolkov>: "Now, as you get ready, I will request names. You, young boy who likely shouldn't be here! Name please!"
<Wrong_Way>: "Yeah, we're working together Pal."
<Dibbles>: "I'm Donnie!"
<AlexVolkov>: "Da, good to meet you Donnie! You, floor-sitting boy with dog-like features!"
Wrong_Way puts on his apron and washes his hands
<Good_Boy>: YEs!
<Good_Boy>: I am Pal!
<Good_Boy>: Hello!
Dibbles finds the smallest apron he can get and has it tied on by his otter after he struggles with it for too long
<AlexVolkov>: "Pal, as in friend! I like it! Now, unassuming boy who has been relatively silent!"
<Wrong_Way>: "Hm? Oh. Mark."
Alina puts on the apron and washes her hands
Wrong_Way finds a seat away from Donnie and Alina
<Wrong_Way>: "Alright Pal, we can't make pizza on the floor.
<AlexVolkov>: "Mark, is good name! You will do good! Last of all, only girl in class!"
<Alina>: "I'm Alina, sir" she says
<AlexVolkov>: "Alina, curious name, but good! Roll off tongue like well-made honeycomb!"
<Alina>: "Thanks, Mr. Volkov" she finishes whatever preparations necessary
Wrong_Way waits for Pal to get his apron and wash his hands
<Good_Boy>: Okay!
Good_Boy gets up
Good_Boy puts on Apron
<AlexVolkov>: "Now that we are ready, I will guide you through procedure!"
Good_Boy stands there
Dibbles washes his hands and goes to wherever he's supposed to be
<AlexVolkov>: Pizza requires two parts, dough and toppings.
<AlexVolkov>: Here on table, I have flour, salt, sugar, yeast and oil. I also have note that gives measurements required.
<AlexVolkov>: Students! Come to the desk, and take what is required! I trust you enough to do the job well!
<AlexVolkov>: [whatcouldpossiblygowrong.jpg]
<Good_Boy>: Okay!
<Wrong_Way>: [bubsypilot.mov]
<Alina>: [I will create a pizza to /die/ for! AHAHAHAHA]
Good_Boy grabs the ingredients from the desk, and bring it to Wrong_Way
<Dibbles>: [And I'll help! Because we're bestest friends, and you'd never want me to die a horrible pizza-related death!]
<Wrong_Way>: "Alright...let's make pizza dough."
Dibbles runs over to get the ingredients/instructions/etc and brings them back
Alina picks up the ingredients and goes to what I assume is the designated food creation area
<Alina>: [both work I guess...]
Dibbles is just one step ahead of the game]
<Wrong_Way>: "There /isn't/ a mixing bowl on my desk."
Wrong_Way reads the measurement card as the bowl appears
<AlexVolkov>: Ah, you have all shown initiative! Good job, all of you!
AlexVolkov gives each student a lollipop.
<Dibbles>: "Alina, do you know how to make a pizza?"
<Alina>: "Weeeeeell... I used to do a bit of cooking growing up"
<Wrong_Way>: "Wait, don't we need water?"
<Alina>: "I think I can manage"
<Good_Boy>: I think so!
<Alina>: [she then creates the appetizer monster from spongebob]
<Good_Boy>: I can get water!
<AlexVolkov>: [>implying i am not fostering competition between you four]
<Wrong_Way>: [OH BOY]
<AlexVolkov>: Ah, in each cooking area there will be sink for dishes!
<Wrong_Way>: "Oh alright..."
<AlexVolkov>: Water must be must warm, remember this!
<Dibbles>: "I'll still help! Let's make a pizza!"
Wrong_Way turns on the hot water and fills the bowl around half way
Alina gets some warm water
Wrong_Way carefully puts the bowl back on the cooking area
<Wrong_Way>: "Yeah, that's some hot water..."
Alina brings it back
<Alina>: "So, where to staaart"
Wrong_Way thinks back to when his grandmother used to make pizza
<Alina>: [>ten minutes of alina cooking later
<AlexVolkov>: Remember, dry ingredients, then the wet ones!
<AlexVolkov>: Mix together well and knead!
<Wrong_Way>: "...Yeast is pretty dry."
Dibbles gets some bowls and spoons and other listed materials
<Wrong_Way>: "Pal! We need a spoon!"
<Good_Boy>: Spoon!
Good_Boy runs to get a spoon
Alina realizes that out of her vast magical knowledge, she lacks the intuitive knowledge on how to make a pizza
<Dibbles>: [damnit I'm gonna look up an actual guide to making a pizza]
<Wrong_Way>: [Ahaha, like i already didn't]
<Wrong_Way>: "Okay...yeast and what..."
<Alina>: [I should too]
<Alina>: [brb[
<Dibbles>: "Flour!"
<Wrong_Way>: "..If we're going to need sugar, I guess we should use it first and see if we can't fix that later."
Good_Boy comes back, with a spoon in his mouth
Dibbles stands on a chair to reach the table comfortably and pours flour into the measuring cup
<Wrong_Way>: "Pal! Spoon?"
AlexVolkov admires the hard work his students are putting in.
Good_Boy smiles, spoon in mouth
Dibbles pours the flour back and forth, until he gets the precise amount needed and pours it into the bowl
<Alina>: [baaack]
Wrong_Way smiles, as he sanitizes the spoon quickly under hot water
<Wrong_Way>: "Thank you."
Dibbles smiles and looks back with pride over his bowl of flour
<Dibbles>: "Making a pizza isn't so hard!"
Wrong_Way puts in a spoonful of yeast and sugar in the bowl of hot water
<AlexVolkov>: Ah, pizza is simple recipe, and so variable too. It is like a fingerprint in some ways, no one pizza is the same.
<AlexVolkov>: From the toppings chosen to the crust and dough type, it's all different.
<Alina>: "Good job, now to take the flour and mix it with the water"
Dibbles struggles to find an acceptable amount of yeast to fill the teaspoon
<Good_Boy>: Anything I can do, Friend Mark?
Wrong_Way puts in two spoonfuls of salts
<Dibbles>: "Alina, is a teaspoon supposed to be level with the edge of the spoon, or is it supposed to be a little mountain?"
<Wrong_Way>: "Uh...we're going need a cup for flour."
<Wrong_Way>: "Can you go get one?"
Alina adds in the sugar to the mix
Wrong_Way takes the olive oil and carefully measures a spoonful of it
<Alina>: "Either can be acceptable, Donnie"
Wrong_Way adds it to the mix
<AlexVolkov>: I will go briefly to secure the toppings. I will only be a minute.
AlexVolkov walks quickly out of the classroom, leaving the door open.
<Wrong_Way>: ["Finally!" and Mark leaves the classroom]
Alina lightly stirs after adding the yeast and sugar
<Wrong_Way>: "Pal, can you get a cup?"
Dibbles puts 2 rather large teaspoons into the mix, to compensate for not putting a 4th of a teaspoon in separately
<Good_Boy>: Yes!
<Wrong_Way>: "Thanks."
Good_Boy runs outside
Wrong_Way looks over to the other group
<Wrong_Way>: "Man, we've gotta catch up..."
<Dibbles>: "Wait, Alina! We need salt!"
Wrong_Way looks at his mixture and opens the flour bag
<Alina>: "Do we have any?"
Dibbles falls off the chair trying to scramble to the salt on the main desk
Good_Boy comes back in, with a cup full of flowers
<Dibbles>: "Ooooooooowww!"
<Alina>: "Oh, donnie, you okay?"
<Wrong_Way>: "...I'm not going to ask where you got the flowers, but thanks for the cup."
<Dibbles>: "THERE'S NO TIME ALINA, GET THE SAAAAALT"
<Good_Boy>: You're welcome!
<Dibbles>: ]
Wrong_Way takes the flowers out the cup and puts in two cups of flour
Alina rushes summons salt from the salt dimension]
<AlexVolkov>: If you were sitting in a more boring lesson, like Math or History, you can see Volkov wrestling a bear over ownership of the toppings.
Wrong_Way starts mixing
<Wrong_Way>: "Alright Pal, we just need to keep mixing until we can't mix it no more."
Dibbles rubs his arm and shows the bruise on his elbow
<Alina>: Boomer looks out of the math class window, rather bored until he sees Volkov
<Dibbles>: "It's fine, I just got a little excited for a second..."
Alina quickly taps donnie's elbow, it heals very quickly
<Good_Boy>: I can mix!
<Alina>: "C'mon, get the salt, we need to get to work"
<Wrong_Way>: "Alright, mix it as hard as you can."
<Dibbles>: "Woooaah. Right! Will do!"
Dibbles runs over and gets the salt with slightly more caution than before
Wrong_Way scoots away from the bowl so Good Boy can mix the bowl
<Wrong_Way>: "Put your everything into it
<Wrong_Way>: "except your hands...just use the spoon."
Alina begins putting the rest of the mix together
<Dibbles>: "Waaaait! We forgot the olive oil!"
Dibbles 's otter simply puts in 2 spoons
Good_Boy grabs spoon, and mixes with the intensity of all the dogs in the world, smelling gravy
<Dibbles>: "I got it when you were falling out of the chair."
<Dibbles>: "...Oh."
<Alina>: "Nice call, Umbra"
<Dibbles>: Umbra giles the otter-equivalent of a thumbs up and a "ch-chk"
<Alina>: "Alright, lets get the flour"
<Dibbles>: "I put it in first!"
Dibbles shows the flour residue in the measuring cup
Alina takes the spoon of glorious mixing while donnie handles the pouring
Good_Boy intensifies his mixing
Wrong_Way just watches
Dibbles looks in awe at the mixing of the ingredients
<Wrong_Way>: "Let me know when it's hard to mix."
<Dibbles>: "I bet our pizza is gonna taste /sooooo/ good."
<Alina>: "I can't wait for it, honestly"
Alina begins mixing vigorously as the flour is poured
Dibbles had put in the flour a while ago
Dibbles put it in before any other ingredient, actually
<Good_Boy>: I am helping!
<Good_Boy>: So Friend mark can relax!
Good_Boy stirs faster than ever before
<Dibbles>: "We forgot to heat up the oven!"
<Wrong_Way>: "I know, but we need the dough to be hard enough to kneed."
<Alina>: "We did?"
<Dibbles>: "...did we?"
Dibbles checks the oven
<Wrong_Way>: "Then when we flatten the dough, we can put everything on it."
<Alina>: "Well, if we're lucky it won't take that long"
Dibbles sets the heat to 400 degrees
<Dibbles>: "Aaaaah, I get it."
Alina casts a small spell to expedite the process
Alina meanwhile mixes the dough until its far too thick to do so
<Good_Boy>: Okay!
<Good_Boy>: I am done!
Good_Boy stops stirring
<Wrong_Way>: "Alright then."
Wrong_Way puts some flour out on the table
<Wrong_Way>: "Now we're gonna push this dough
Alina puts some flour out on the table and puts out the dough to begin kneading
Wrong_Way takes out the dough and starts kneading the dough on the flour
Dibbles washes his hands quickly and helps with the kneading
<Alina>: "Alright think you can help with the kneading, Donnie?"
<Dibbles>: "Right! It feels weeeiird."
Wrong_Way kneeds it enough until he feels like it's strong enough to pull out
Dibbles seems somewhat more concerned with playing with the dough than actually kneading but isn't entirely useless
Wrong_Way slowly kneeds and pulls out the dough into a 12 inch disk shaped thing
<Alina>: "just keep doing it, try not to have /too/ much fun, otherwise it won't taste as good later"
<Wrong_Way>: "Woo."
<Dibbles>: "Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot!"
Dibbles begins kneading with much vigor
<Wrong_Way>: "I think we still need to do that thing italian chefs do, with the whole throwing into the air."
Wrong_Way supports the dough underneath with his hands
Wrong_Way spins it a little as he lightly tosses it upward with his fingers
<Good_Boy>: You are good at this, Friend Mark!
<Wrong_Way>: "I've seen too many ways this has gone wrong."
<Alina>: "Alright" she inspects the progress
Wrong_Way shudders a bit when thinking back to his grandmother
Wrong_Way finally decides it's enough tossing
<Dibbles>: "I think we're just about done. It doesn't look wet anymore."
Wrong_Way looks at his nice pizza disk dough
Dibbles paws at the dough a little bit more to confirm the texture
<Alina>: "I'd say so"
<Wrong_Way>: "The teacher should show up any minute now..."
<Wrong_Way>: "We just need pizza sauce, toppings and then to cook the sucker
<Dibbles>: "Do we get to use a rolling pin now?"
Alina had a rolling pin prepared
<Alina>: "Yeeeep"
<Dibbles>: "Can I use it? I never used one before!"
<Good_Boy>: Can we have meat?
<Good_Boy>: I like Meat!
<Alina>: "Sure, be careful with it though, Donnie"
Alina gives him the roller
Dibbles looks at the roller with the kind of excited smile only a child could have from being passed a roller
Dibbles begins to rolls the dough, but fails to apply enough force
<Dibbles>: "Uh, I think you should do it Alina."
<Alina>: "Donnie, like this" she helps him apply force properly
Dibbles is having fun and applying proper force
<Alina>: [NO SCREW YOU I'M GONNA TEACH YOU VALUABLE LIFE STIIIILLS]
<Alina>: [SKILLS]
<Dibbles>: [THANK YOU BASED ALINA]
<Wrong_Way>: "Yeah, we can have meat."
<Wrong_Way>: "What else..."
<Wrong_Way>: ["How about onions?"]
<Wrong_Way>: ["Maybe some chocolate?"]
<Dibbles>: I actually love onions on my pizza...]
<Wrong_Way>: same
<Wrong_Way>: because i actually eat veggies
Alina inspects as they finish rolling
<Dibbles>: "We did it!"
<Alina>: "Yes, we did"
<Good_Boy>: I Like Meat!
<Alina>: "Now..... we have to pinch the sides, right?"
<Wrong_Way>: "Alright.."
<Wrong_Way>: "uh, how about anchovies?"
Dibbles looks over the paper
<Wrong_Way>: "Not saying I like them, but just asking."
<Dibbles>: "I'm not sure... I like thick crust pizzas though. Do we pinch those ones?"
<Good_Boy>: Fish is good!
<Wrong_Way>: "huh."
<Alina>: "hrmmmm"
<Alina>: [I know not of this answer]
<Dibbles>: [neither do I]
<Dibbles>: "Let's just pinch it to be safe then."
<Alina>: [WRONG MOVE]
<Alina>: "Alright" she pinches
<Dibbles>: [B-BUT]
<Wrong_Way>: [the pizza explodes]
<Alina>: [2L8M8]
<Good_Boy>: What next?
<Wrong_Way>: "Well, we just need the pizza sauce and toppings but the teacher said he's getting them
<Good_Boy>: Okay!
Good_Boy sits down
<Dibbles>: "So, we just need to wait for ingredients now?"
<Wrong_Way>: "So, just meat, pal?"
<Alina>: "Well... we should toss the pizza"
<Good_Boy>: Yes!
<Good_Boy>: I like meat!
<Dibbles>: "What if we drop it?"
Wrong_Way shrugs
<Wrong_Way>: "Alright."
<Alina>: "I'm good with this"
Dibbles waits to see the art of dough-tossing
<Wrong_Way>: ["the ceiling fan is /off/"]
<Good_Boy>: teachers gone]
<Wrong_Way>: [WOO]
Wrong_Way jumps on his desk and starts doing bad stand up]
*** Good_Boy is now known as HabeusKaiju
Alina takes the dough, begins tossing it. She does it rather expertly, at one point spinning the dough on her finger like a basketball
Wrong_Way turns on the ceiling fans]
<Dibbles>: "Wooooaaaah. You're awesome at this!"
<Alina>: "Thanks, just a trick I learned"
HabeusKaiju stomps on Dibbles and Alina as they bond]
Alina makes the kaiju part of the pizza]
Dibbles dies a horrific death, crushed by the foot of a kaiju]
<Wrong_Way>: [delicious kaiju pizza]
<Alina>: [get da logs, we'll continue tomorrow]
<Dibbles>: [good stuff]
<Wrong_Way>: [k]
<HabeusKaiju>: >DonnieMeetsGodzilla.gif]
