Teacher's Lounge [Period 2 and on]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

After her workshop, Veronica dropped by the teacher's lounge and put on a pot of coffee. She also had a tray of brownies she had baked over the weekend.

She sat at one of the tables and started working on her lesson for next week.

Muttering under her breath about "waking up with the dawn" (she meant "before 10"), Edna stalked into the lounge. "Coffee!" she demanded imperiously.

The woman was used to having a lot of assistants, yes.

Veronica looked up, unimpressed. "There's a pot on the counter."

More muttering as Edna quickly walked over to get a chair to drag to the counter so she could reach the pot.

"Columbian?" she checked, reaching for a mug.

"I didn't check," Veronica said, watching the tiny woman.

Edna gasped in horror. "It could be Maxwell House!"

"And that would be bad?"

Veronica was not exactly a coffee snob. As long as it was made properly.

"Bad?" Edna repeated. "It would be a tragedy! The resurgence of 80s fashion tragic!"

"I think resurgence of 80s fashion would be way more tragic than Maxwell House coffee," Veronica said. "I'm very anti-80s fashion."

"With the shoulder pads and the neon and the fabrics not found in nature," Edna ranted. "Peh!"

"And the hair. Dear God, the hair was," Veronica shuddered. "I think the 80s are single-handedly responsible for the hole in the Ozone layer. All that Aquanet."

"I seem to have a few people in my workshop trying to bring the look back," Edna said. "I will not allow it!"

"What workshop are you teaching?" Veronica asked, horrified at the notion.

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

"Fashion, darling," Edna said breezily.

"Oh, good," Veronica said. "Hopefully you can keep that travesty at bay."

[nocapesomg.livejournal.com]

"That's the idea," Edna said. "No capes, pants under dresses or polyblends."

"You are doing a great service," Veronica said.
