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!]

Door studies the M&M's curiously when they're shaken into her hand, then tastes warily. "Ah, Smarties. Sort of. Thanks." She glances over at the podium with a small grin. "Pompous and boring comes through in any dialect, I fear; there's plenty of that at home."

"You're welcome. What's a Smartie?" Dawn asked. "And I'm very sorry to hear that. I'd like to find someone from somewhere, or somewhen, I guess, without the pompous. I'm sometimes okay with boring."

"These, but the shell's a bit thicker and the orange ones actually taste like oranges," Door says, popping a green m&m into her mouth. "And I'm the opposite - with pompous ones you can at least make fun of them in your head. Boring's just..." She thinks of Buttercup's Baby, unabridged and makes a face. "Boring."

"Weird," Dawn commented, "and less people get hurt if things are boring. Unless you can die of chronic boredom, but that's still just a theory."

"Ah, no, I'm good with things being boring. Books and people, though..."

"No, I totally agree about that." She glanced at Door curiously, "So, you still doing okay here?"

"It's wonderful," Door says honestly, and not for the first time this week.
