The Fool and the Pink Lady ☻ Video/In Person ☻ OTA

[topsyturvyfool]

[The feed starts with Clopin (actually missing his mask for the first time) sitting perched on the back of the Joe West couch, grinning like a satisfied cat and... who's that in the background?] Good morning, Academy! Or afternoon, evening, or night. It's quite hard to tell in this weather.

[Surprise! It's everyone's favorite dance teacher, upside

[What the...what? Why is Mlle. La Bouff hanging upside down, and why is this on the network? That poor girl. Esmeralda glares into her communicator as she marches down the hall. CLOPIN, YOU HAVE SOME 'SPLAINING TO DO.]

Bon Dieu, was that really necessary?

[Dude Esme he's a trained fool. The concept of humiliation does not cross his mind.

He tosses a big gap-toothed grin over his shoulder as he works on Lottie's knot.] Of course it was! Don't want the students to go running off, now do we?

[Also, he's a bit of a dick.]

[in person]

[sirenspell]

[She arrives in a flurry of righteous indignation, hands on her hips.]

Did you ask her if she was running off?

[And, taking a deep breath, she looks over at Lottie, both apologetically and sympathetically.]

Mlle. La Bouff? Are you all right?

[action]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Jus' get me down!

[Oooh, Lottie's madder than a wet hen. She hates this Misty business, but she's been around a long while; she has an idea of when it's okay to push the boundaries a bit. To be strung up like a pinata? Not on her to-do list.]

[Mike's somewhat impressed with the trap. But still...]

Setting an example for the others, huh?

Need any help with traps? My brothers and I are trained in 'em. I'm increasing patrols if students are goin' to ignore the Head Mouse's orders like that.

[topsyturvyfool]

[You don't need to be a ninja to know how to set a trap! >D ]

Oui, oui. I suppose I could have just told them, but some students are visual learners. What kind of teacher would I be if I did not accommodate them?

Oh, any help is appreciated, monsieur tortue. I don't know how many students will be naughty before this is all over! [He gives a charming wink. He may be having a lot of fun with this, but he is genuinely concerned about stupid kids being stupid kids and getting hurt.] Oui, I think maybe more patrols would be good. I'd be glad to assist in any way I can.

Visuals like that work for everyone, I think. ... ... Though you probably should've waited for someone wearin' pants.

We can work together on the patrols. Buddy system, settin' good examples, and all that jazz.

Perhaps, perhaps, but she did an excellent job of staying decent. Another reason to applaud her, I say! [Clopin, stop being a dick.]

Excellent idea, mon tortue. We must be good role models, after all. [FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT] Tell me when and I'll be ready.

[oh_icanfeelit]

[Kronk has absolutely no idea what to say for a moment. Then he remembers his chivalry bone and decides to ignore Clopin for a second.]

Lottie! Can you feel your feet?!

[tiatiatiatiatia]

I-I think so?

[GET HER DOWN, KRONK ;A;.]

Y-you mind lendin' a hand?

[oh_icanfeelit]

[Whoops! Annnd Kronk springs into action, trying to pull Lottie down from where she's been rooted as carefully as possible.]

You didn't really try to go out in the mists, did ya?

[tiatiatiatiatia]

I took the route through th'Academic Buildin', so I was only out in it for a moment! And then Mistah Clopin turned out to be bonkahs and put traps all ovah th'place!

[She continues to hold her dress to her legs, trying to keep what dignity and decency she had left.]
