fandomhigh | School Assembly, Friday Afternoon, The Auditorium

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!]

"And now for the first of our two special guests! This speaker has hosted his own cable access show where he tried to help people help themselves! Additionally, according to his press materials, he 'is a caring nurturer, a member of several 12-step programs, but not a licensed therapist.' Please give a warm Fandom High welcome to Stuart Smalley!"

For reasons unknown, when Stuart took the stage, a full-length mirror came with him. He took a seat beside it, and completely ignored the students as he spoke to hs reflection for a moment.

"I'm going to do a terrific show today! And I'm gonna help people! Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggone it, people like me!"

He then turned his focus back to the audience with a frighteningly bright smile.

"Hello, I'm Stuart Smalley, and I'm here to reach out to all of you as much as you'll let me. Sometimes we all need little affirmations in our lives, and I try to help people with that while thinking in a really gosh-darn positive way. Sometimes we all have a little rage, and that's inappropriate! Don't let your anger come out all sideways. Just rememeber - " and here, Stuart paused as though he expected peopleto chorus the words with him, " - I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!"

He smiled. "Now, who can I reach out to today?"

Nadia shrank down in her seat.

"Creeeeeeepy,"

Vader lurked in the back and wondered if the "no killing people" was limited to students.

And he liked his rage, thank you very much.

Parker started laughing silently at "don't let your anger come out sideways" and pretty much had to cover her face to keep from cracking up.

Lyra wished she'd sat behind Chad, so Stuart couldn't possibly see her. As it was, she settled for slouching down in her seat as far as she could. Pan whispered, "The minister's cat is an extremely creepy cat."

They weren't on E, or C, but Lyra couldn't find in her heart to disagree.

Jack's jaw dropped and he just stared at the extremely disturbing guy on stage.

Alanna gaped. And considered diving under neath her chair.
