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."

Introductions, FYI ...

...as they say in the olden days.

Introduce yourselves, please. When and where did you come from?

Chat among your mates

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

Talk with Rose

Rose's completely open to discussion.

Hermione Granger

"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."

"Hallo, Hermione," Rose said, "From England, yeah? Besides the usual things, what else do you want to know about popular culture? Language? Popular movies?"

Re: Introductions, FYI ...and Expectations

[smartestone]

"Anything and everything, please," she says. "If you have a list of all the popular movies and books and television shows, actually, I could look them up myself, just to get an overview so I'm not behind."

Wow, she's even going to overstudy for Pop Culture.

Re: Introductions, FYI ...and Expectations

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Ah. Hermione was one of those students.

Rose nodded, "I'll be sure to hand you over a list. Although, I think you can easily catch-up, you're not far off the time line after all."

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?"

Re: Introductions, FYI ...and Expectations

[smartestone]

"Well, I also hadn't really seen much before then," she admits, knowing this probably makes her a little strange.

Parker studied her face. Definitely older than the Rose Tyler of last year. "Not-- exactly. You don't know me, do you?"

"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."

Re: Introductions, FYI ...and Expectations

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"That's something we have to rectify," Rose said with a determined nod. "A crime not knowin' the best movies and TV shows around."

Re: Talk with Rose

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"I'm afraid not," Rose admitted, "I suppose you knew the other Rose Tyler too?"

Re: Talk with Rose

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"We met a couple times. She was a senior, we didn't hang out much. She dated a friend of mine very, very briefly." Parker cocked her head, studying Rose. "But that wasn't even you, with time passing. It wasn't you at all."

There might have been an implied 'yay!' in there.

Re: Introductions, FYI ...and Expectations

[smartestone]

"Are they really the best or what's been determined to be the best just by being popular?" she wonders. "Because I have channel surfed and that makes me wonder."

"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."

Rose tried to decide if he was human or a human looking alien.

"You wouldn't be a fan of cricket then would you?" Rose asked, "Scratch that, football's a better game anytime."

Re: Talk with Rose

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"I see." Rose said not seeing it at all, then remembered her time at Caritas, "This friend of yours wouldn't be someone named Jarod, would it?"
