fandomhigh | The Fandom High Tour! Saturday afternoon

The Fandom High Tour! Saturday afternoon

At 1:00, The Tick was standing outside the school doors, waiting for any family or friends who may show up. Once they had a good group and it didn't seem like anyone else was coming, Tick said, "Well, I think that's everyone! Hello, and welcome to Fandom High! I am The Tick, Dean of Students here, and I will be your Virgil as we descend into the Seven Circles that we call school!"

The Tick thought for a moment. "Not that I'm suggesting that this school is the underworld. I was really just going with the concept of the Guide character in classic literature. Anyway, let's head on in! And if you have any questions, please ask!"

[OOC: After I get all of the OCD up, I'll be heading to work for a few hours. I shall be slow, but available to have Tick answer any questions.

This is a half-play post, half-linkdrop. Teachers who are not specifically linked to in the OCD, if you could post a link to your classroom or office post in the Classrooms OOC thread, that would be appreciated. Parents can break away from the tour to talk to those any teachers. The tour will go slowly enough to not lose people.

Parents, you can ping in wherever you might have something specific to comment on, or wherever you might talk to someone about something. Considering how many threads there are, though, and how many people may be in here, I wouldn't mind if comments that just check into the room thread are left out for the sakes of everyone's browsers.

There is also a general mingling in the dorm lobby thread if anyone wants to end the tour in another big group meeting. :) ]

"Here you see our classrooms! This is where we teach your children, friends, or other relations a wide variety of subjects! We have classes on history, mythology, criminal justice, spying, and Science! If you want to stop and visit one of your student's teachers today, they will either be here or in their offices."

"Over there you'll see Locker 327, one of the most mysterious things in Fandom. Sometimes, if a student isn't careful, it'll open up and temporarily transport them somewhere else. Nobody knows how this came to be, but be it does! Don't get too close. Stay on this side of the hallway as we pass it by."

"This is where our students have lunch. There used to be certain issues with the quality of the food - it reportedly once made a student think he was the principal we had at that time, and I believe it - but it hasn't done that in a long time. The Chef and Das Schnitzel should be here, so let's see if they have anything cooking!"

"Last year, this was where our shop class was held. Another school was kind enough to provide equipment that allowed our shop teacher to assemble an adaptable virtual environment. We can make it look like anything! We currently use it for detentions. It allows our instructors to make it a much more interactive experience."

"Today it looks like a park. I had something clever in mind for detention this week, but your students were very well behaved and nobody received detention. Well, Jamie Madrox, but he has other arrangements."

"Here we have the library, home of the books! This is a fairly important social place for the students. I guess they like studying that much. Ms Readman should be here, so let's go inside (http://agentthepaper.livejournal.com/1916.html). If you have any questions, you can direct them to her!"

"This is where all of our paperwork is filed! The school office is a strange place, but it's effective. We have a former policeman, a squirrel, and a bunch of animate skeletons on staff. Oh, and there's Bob Gremlin! He's a gremlin, but don't worry, he doesn't bite!"

Bob Gremlin waved.

"Here we have the office of Zoe Washburn, Principal of Fandom High!" The Tick stopped and waved to Zoe from the hallway. "She is the fifth principal we've had since opening last fall and is by far our longest lasting leader! If you have any questions for Principal Washburn, you can go right in (http://bigdamndean.livejournal.com/22476.html) and ask them!"

"Here we have the gym! Students are here nigh every day working out, training, and-slash-or blowing off some steam! In times of need it can also double as a dance hall or a shelter of some sort! If you want to try out what we have here, please do!"

"Here we have the gun range! I avoid it whenever possible because I don't like guns. Bullets sting. But a lot of our students have training with weapons and like to have a safe place to use them. Our Gun Club meets here weekly."

"Continuing that, right next door is the salle, our area for practicing with swords and other melee tools. We have practice swords for training, although the rare students who have their own swords like to use them here. We also have a Fencing Club for people who want to practice their swordwork."

"Both of these facilities are monitored at all times to help ensure that everything is perfectly safe!"

"This is our garage for small vehicles. We provide a large number of bicycles for the students' use in getting around town quickly. Some students have motorcycles or hoverbikes of some sort here as well."

"And not too far from here is the stables, which is kind of like a living garage, I suppose."

"This is our computer lab! Look at all of the technology! Isn't it keen? Now, I don't understand any of it, but our Computers teacher, Abby Sciuto (http://cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com/4070.html), is here to answer any questions you might have!"

"And up here is our brand new observatory, the realm of Ellie Arroway. During the afternoon, the only star you're likely to see is the sun, and you shouldn't stargaze at it too long! Please, come in (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1081711.html) and if you have any questions for Professor Arroway, feel free to ask them!"

"Here endeth the tour! Thank you all for coming along and I hope you enjoyed seeing what your students see on a daily basis. If there are any questions at this point, I'm happy to answer them. Otherwise, there are snacks and punch available to you!"

Now to run off to work!
