fandomhigh | School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

"Welcome, one and all, to the first school assembly of the new semester! In case you haven't met me yet, I am The Tick! Dean of Students here at Fandom High. That means that where student issues are concerned, I am the parking attendant in the self park garage of your education!"

"Today, we have a special in the garage! It's a special that speaks of a different kind of special you might get in a seedier garage. Today's special is called DANK: Drugs Are Not Kool! Spelling is cool, of course, but sometimes you have to make an exception and spell something with a 'k' to work. Anyway, we will have several speakers this afternoon, guiding your car into a parking space of a clean and healthy life! Please welcome our guests!"

[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. Also, since it seems appropriate this time, there will be a thread for after the assembly to speak to the guests a bit more privately. 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! Speaking of which, speakers should be sure to check their comm invites.]

"So, does anyone have questions?" Nikki asked. "Except my daughter. She doesn't count."

"MOM!"

"Did you take off your top on stage before or after getting a record deal?"

"Yes," said Nikki with a twinkle in her eye. "You look familiar."

"I think maybe I saw you around during parent's weekend? Oh, and I'm in Teal Dear."

Parker smothered a grin. "The last time you got arrested? Did your record sales go up after that?"

Nikki looked impish as she said, "Well, publicity, you know...but I should stress I was not arrested for drug use. I was at a protest."

"I know. I caught the highlights on CNN dot com." Parker grinned over at Zero. "They got some really fabulous shots of you. Do you think you would have become more successful, more quickly, without the drugs?"

Zero? Rolled her eyes at Parker.

Nikki beamed at her daughter and told Parker, "I don't know. I mean, I can't rewrite history, so who can say? But would I have had my act more together and been more able to capitalize on my chances without the drugs? Definitely."
