Popular Culture [Monday, January 8, 7th period]

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

The classroom looked ordinary enough, not much surprises around or squirrels Rose hoped. She took a chalk and wrote:

'21st Century Popular Culture" then after some debate added, "Earth."

Rose faced the class and tried not to look so nervous, they looked to be a varied bunch.

"Right, I'm Rose Tyler." She began, "You can refer to me as 'Ms. Tyler' in class but hopefully not outside of it, since Ms. Tyler would likely be my mother." Rose distributed the handouts. "Before we begin, I'd like everyone to introduce themselves and what, exactly, each of you will be expecting from this class."

"My name is Hermione Granger," she says, and she sounds like someone who's very used to speaking up in class. "I'm really only here because I'm from 1995, and there are things that I sometimes don't recognize so I want to make sure I'm as up to date as possible."

"I'm Anders," he said, avoiding his first name as usual. "I'm here because I'm not from Earth, and I kind of want to learn as much as I can about the popular culture here before I have to go home. Mostly I've been focusing on baseball up until now."

"My name is Marco, I'm from Riverside, California and I'm here because seven years have passed between December 31st and January 1st and I'd like to know what happened in between."

"My name's Alphonse Elric," he began. "I'm not even from this world, so... I guess I'll have to say this place confuses me more often than it doesn't, and I'd like to at least get an idea what goes on."

"My name is Henry Jekyll. I'm from London, in the year eighteen hundred and eighty-six." He looked a little-self conscious talking in class. "I also have a bit of catching up to do."

"I'm Draco Malfoy." says Draco "I'm from England but I don't really live with um..."normal" humans. There's no electricity or anything so I'm really out of touch with music and movies. And sports. And about a hundred different other things."

Edward was sitting backwards in his chair, arms folded over the back and chin tucked on his arms. "My name's Edward Elric," he said, then shifted enough to hike a thumb in Alphonse's direction. "I am, in fact, related to that but it's kind of sketchy how due to alternating dimensions or time warps or some weird dancing. Give me enough time and research materiels and I'll figure it out eventually."

He paused, then remembered there was a second part to the question. "Not entirely sure on why I took this class. I don't think I was awake for class sign-ups again. I'm from a different world? The culture around here is different." He waved his hand in the air flippantly. "And that whole futuristic techology and stuff. I come from the equivalent of 1915." He dropped his head back to his arms and half-heartedly listened to everyone else.

Armony offered a wave to the class, albeit a little sheepishly. "My name is Armony Eiselstein," she said, and held a hand out to gesture to the Elrics. "I come from the same world as these two... or at least one of them, as it seems Al is a different Al than the one I met." She frowned. "Strange stuff, all this..." A shrug. "Anyway. I'm in this class because, like blondie over there--" She meant Edward, of course. "--said, it was the early 1900s where we lived. I figure I should be up to date if I'm gonna be a student here."

"I am Ami" Ami spoke quietly. "I am here because it sounded like fun and I needed a non math or science subject. My mother insists on one a semester."

Re: Introductions, FYI ...

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose laughed. "This is as far from maths and science as any could be. Anything particular you want to learn, Ami?"

Chat among your mates

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose knew students and knew no power in the universe could ever stop students from chatting with each other.

Armony waits until after class to hoist herself onto the desk Edward is seated closest to, hunching forward to watch him for a moment. "You know, it doesn't give the teacher the best impression of you if you fall asleep on the first day."

Re: Chat among your mates

Edward didn't open his eyes. Someone was talking to him again, weren't they? He didn't drag himself out of his (admitedly dark and secluded, roommate be damned) room to be social. He was dead set on ignoring the person in question until he got the niggling little voice inside of his head (which occasionally sounded remarkably like Al, that was slightly disturbing) that told him he knew this voice and the polite thing would be to respond.

Well, in Edward's book the polite thing was to flip his superego off and go back to sleep. The superego threatened to start singing. Edward compromised.

"Doesn't matter what sort of impression I give," Edward muttered without opening his eyes. "Don't care."

Re: Chat among your mates

Edward immeaditely got up from his seat, about-faced, and marched over to Alphonse's seat. "We. Have. To. Talk."

Re: Chat among your mates

Alphonse looked up at him, slowly, as the tone of his brother's voice implied that there was something, well... very wrong. So he tilted his head, puzzled. "... Yeah?"

Talk with Rose

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose's completely open to discussion.

Re: Talk with Rose

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker might be loitering in the doorway *after* class.

No reason.

Re: Talk with Rose

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose looked-up from where she was organizing her notes. There was a student hanging about the door.

"Yes? Is there anything I can do for you?"
