Criminal Justice [1st Period, Tuesday]

"Good morning," V said silkily. "As we discussed last week, there are certain procedures when one is working with law - or," he added softly, amused, "against it. However, it is not always feasible to work in such procedures, or perhaps kinks are thrown into your perfect plan."

He waved a gloved hand at a table at the front, where there were Legos, pipe cleaners, construction paper, marbles, several tea sets, whisks, forks, spoons, tweezers, salt and pepper shakers, batteries, chopsticks, wire, lightbulbs, straws, candles, empty egg cartons, hockey pucks, shoe boxes, and dice - as well as all sorts of tape, glue, and other adhesives.

And for some godforsaken reason, there was glitter.

"You," V said to the class, "will be building mousetraps. Not to ensnare rodents, of course, unless you choose to use them outside of this class. But your work is subject to the criticism of your peers," he gestured expansively to the class, "and your superior." He pointed to himself. "You have the class period. Your trap should be effective, just as plan you formulate - be your timeframe five years, or one hour."

[Wait for OCD It's up, have fun, and thank you to [livejournal.com profile] kawalsky, [livejournal.com profile] multiplez, [livejournal.com profile] bruiser_in_pink and [livejournal.com profile] mparker17 for the suggestions for mousetrap materials.]

Jack smirked and started cutting a small hole in the side of his shoe box. "Okay, I won't."

Seely chuckled. "You're a funny guy, Harkness. A frat...it's kinda like a guy's club, you go and you hang, and do guy things. You know, beer, pizza, poker, talking about girls."

"Gangster movies?" Jack hazarded. "Sounds like fun. Are non-frat members allowed to join in?"

"Ganster movies," Seely agreed, then rubbed his chin. "Sure. Guy who want to check things out, but who don't feel like joining are welcome to come along."

"And if that guy just happened to bring beer - or something stronger - that might help sweeten the deal?"

"Most definitely," Seely agreed.

"Then just let me know where and when, and I think something can be arranged." Jack taped the piece he'd cut out of the box to the paper he'd been folding and taping. "I can't wait to find out what a mook is."

"It's not a male prostitute," Seely replied quickly. "Long story."

"I don't know whether to be disappointed or not," Jack said, snickering lightly. "It certainly would have been a different sort of guy's night than I was picturing."

Seely grinned. "Well, I've already had one mix up, just wanted to aviod another."
