School Assembly, Friday Afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

After watching the crowd gather and encouraging them to settle down long enough to listen to people talk, The Tick began to speak.

"Welcome, students and faculty, to our first assembly of the year! We'll be doing these to help impart something to our students. Give them advice, entertainment, and something worthwhile to do on a Friday afternoon!"

"Today you'll be getting advice from several speakers. They are motivational speakers, people who speak and give advice to help you better yourself! They are the tops in their individual fields, respective Everests, and this assemply is your sherpa, helping you scale that mountain to a better you!"

"Some of today's speakers are professional motivational speakers! Some are fellow students with some special advice! And one is a local business owner just looking to help out!"

"I think it's about time to let them do their jobs now. Please give the speakers your undivided attention and have some fun!"

[OOC: Each speaker will have their own thread, plus there will be a Q&A thread at the end of the post for them to ping into. Please wait to ask the speakers questions until the speakers have pinged in.

There are also a couple of general conversation threads for people who don't want to give their undivided attention. :)

Big thanks to all of the speakers!]

Marty grabs a seat already looking bored.

Angela took a seat next to Marty. "Yay, assembly," she said, with not much enthusiasm.

Hawkeye was here, as was to be expected. He was wearing his standard bright Hawaiian shirt and pants. Oddly, he was carrying an umbrella.

He took his seat and waited for the assembly to start.

Josh took a seat nearby, grinned, and held out a box of popcorn.

Conner was here, looking skeptical in the extreme, but here nonetheless.

Peter grinned at Conner. "You look thrilled. Honestly."

Mac slipped into a seat to one side of the auditorium. Fandom high school assembly? Could be interesting, or weird, or more likely both actually.

Naomi came in and found a seat, looking very happy because her mother was coming home tomorrow evening. She didn't actually mind the fact that there was an assembly because she had never been to one before.

Jaye's here. Not with popcorn, though. Gummi bears.

Ray, having no classes today, wandered down and took a seat.

Oh, boy. Assembly. Chad grabbed a seat where he thought his headphones might go unnoticed if things got dull and unbearable.

Hermione hasn't actually been to an assembly like this before. Maybe it will be new and interesting. At the very least, she has a lot of homework, so maybe it will be quick.

Walter came in and took a seat. This promised to be dull.

Door, having never been to a school before, has, not so surprisingly, never been to a school assembly before. Therefore she's in her seat actually looking interested -- if a little sleepy because it's Friday afternoon and she hasn't really discovered the wonders of coffee yet.

Lyra walked in to the auditorium, a bit confused. The only school-wide gatherings she'd gone to at St Sophia's were Mass. Still, she thought naively, couldn't be much different. She found a seat and prepared to play a rousing game of "the Minister's Cat" with Pan.

Willow made herself comfy. Normally she didn't like assemblies since they took up time that could've been spent in a classroom. But she didn't have any classes at all on Fridays so she was happy to have a chance to do something school related.

Peter took a seat. An assembly at this school could be fun.

Zoe came in right before the assembly started and took a spot standing in the back. There were a few things she definitely didn't want to miss today.

Parker sighed and settled into a seat, hoping FH's answer to school assemblies wasn't as boring as her last school's was.

Janice was lurking near the back of the room, chewing agitatedly on a cigar. Damn assemblies. Too many people.

Evie certainly didn't want to get in trouble for missing an Official School Function. So she found a seat early and looked around, bright-eyed, wondering what was planned.

Jack grabbed a seat. Hey, anytime there were this many people in one place, there was a chance it could end up being very entertaining.

John grabbed a seat and prepared to sleep.
