Criminal Justice [1st Period, Tuesday]

[victimorvillain.livejournal.com]

"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 kawalsky, multiplez, bruiser_in_pink and mparker17 for the suggestions for mousetrap materials.]

River connected some batteries with wire and put them in a shoe box. She made a mouse-sized hole in the box. Then she covered the inside of the shoe box with glue and sprinkled substantial amounts of glitter on it. Glitter should have metal in it. She added some more batteries, but somehow it didn't quite seem enough to electrocute a mouse. Death by glitter didn't seem to work. She muttered.
