fandomhigh | Zen Computer Science - Period 3 - Tuesday

Flynn sat at his desk again, feet up, waiting for everyone to shuffle through and check in.

On the table near the front sat a small collection of shoeboxes, taped shut.

Once he was satisfied that everyone was present, he began class.

"Understanding computers is not just knowing how to click here, or click there. It's about knowing what your machine
can and cannot do, and it's history of why."

He grinned.

"Computers are logical. They use a system that dates back to the time of the Greeks and Aristotle, only modified
and tasked to suit the technology used today." Flynn got up and stood in front of his desk.

"So today, we're going to study logic. To that end, we're going to have a little fun." he grinned the patented Flynn boyish grin.

"I want you to partner off into groups of threes or twos, and every group gets a box from up here." He gestures to the box. "Inside each box is one
object. Using just your powers of observation and WITHOUT looking in the box, tell me what's inside it."

Flynn looked at their faces. "This means no powers as well, so don't get any bright ideas."

He watched the kids play with the boxes and waited for any of them to come up with an answer.

Pick your groups here!
We have 11 people, so we need at least one group of 3.

Ami looked around, seeing if maybe anyone wanted to pair up.

"Good morning," Henry greeted. "We're in the same Popular Culture class, are we not?"

He did look familiar. "I believe so, yes. " Ami extended her hand out. "I am Ami Mizuno."

"Henry Jekyll. It's a pleasure to be introduced properly." Henry shook her hand. "May I have the honor of being your partner?"
Whoa. If that didn't sound awkward, Henry didn't know what could.
"Today, I mean, in class. For the assignment."

Ami attempted to swallow the giggle, but failed. "It is nice to meet you too Henry. And i think it would be interesting to pair up, so lets." She walked towards the boxes.

[taking it to the box looking at thread?]

Mac took a break from watching over Cally, for class. Much as she would've liked to stay at the clinic in case she woke up, she was TA and not showing up would be bad.

She's not trying very hard to cover how much the whole thing is bothering her. She is, however distracted, still looking for a partner, though.

With a yawn, Marco sat down next to Mac. "Hey."

Mac glanced to the boy beside her. "Hi," she replied. "Partners?"

"Sure." Marco poked at the box. "So what does this have to do with computers?"

"It's a logic thing, apparently. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1188227.html?thread=68493187#t68493187)"

Rikku bounced a little in her seat and looked around for a partner.

Willow gave a wave. "Hi. Wanna be box buddies?"

Willow was oblivious to any dirty connotations in what she'd just said.

Rikku grinned and waved back. "Hi! Sounds great!"

She scooted her chair closer to the redhead. "Do you think we're allowed to smash the box up? Or burn it? Oh! And I'm Rikku."

"Willow," Willow replied with a smile. "I was wondering about burning too. Though maybe we should save that for step two (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1188227.html?thread=68513411#t68513411)?"

"Yeah. If we burn it up, it'll be gone. But then at least we'd know it was flammable."

OOC: am now moving to the other thread. Also, "box buddies" made me want to go, "Oooh, is it season four already?" ;)

Marty looked at the box and poked at it

Everyone else seemed to be in cozy little pairs already. Nova looked around the class for someone to partner up with. Finding someone who seemed to be alone, Nova silently walked over and stood by him.

Marty looked at the person standing next to him and raised an eyebrow. "Hello?"

"Hello," Nova said in an even tone. He continued to stand there quietly, waiting for something to happen, as if this all was completely normal.

Marty waited a few seconds. Then a few seconds more before responding.

"I'm Marty."

"I'm Nova."

Nova took to examining the box now that he felt he and his partner were well acquainted, whether his partner was aware of it or not. He poked at it like he had seen Marty doing, wondering if that method was effective.

"Did you want to partner up?" Marty asked looking confused.

Ignoring that he thought the answer was obvious, Nova nodded to confirm Marty's conclusion.
