How to Annoy Your Teachers (And Not Get Turned Into Animals) [Week 1, Period 2]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

As the students found their way to the main campfire, they'd seen John lounging against one of the logs, almost look half asleep. Well, as half asleep as someone could look with a smile on their face. He wasn't that gleeful. Really.

"Are we all here?" It looked like everyone was here. He hoped everyone was here. "If someone's not here, they miss out. Bummer for them. Anyway, if you're here, you should know that I'm John Crichton and this is a class on how to annoy those talky people who stand in front of classrooms. You know, teachers."

"Some of you guys might know me," he said, "and some might've heard of me and some might think nothing of me. I have a little experience annoying teachers. I spent a semester getting turned into an animal because of that annoyance. It's a talent really and one I'd like to spread around."

He stopped and sat up a little, looking more awake.

"This class is going to be more practical than anything. Because, really, who wants to listen to me talk? And when I say practical, I mean, you are going to have to go out there and annoy teachers. Whether it be during their office hours or during their class or if you see them out on a hot date. Grades will be given on how often I get punished."

He stopped and grinned. "Another quirk of the class. Because I'm telling you to go out there and annoy teachers, you will have the option of letting them punish me. Really, what're they gonna do, kill me?"

John might've been very, very deluded sometimes.

"First class is easy. We'll do introductions and I want you guys to tell me your favorite annoyance technique. Everyone's gotta have a favorite. And yes, there is homework. It's easy though. For your homework, I want you go find one teacher and call them a name and/or insult them in some way and remember you won't get in trouble. I will. I'll give you some examples."

He wrote a few of the faculty member's names on the board.

"For instances, the dearest vice principal, Hades? Call him a whiny mortal who's compensating for lacking in other departments. GOB Bluth? Call him a Canadian sympathizer. Professor Deadpool? Tell him that costume makes his rear look big. Tell John Winchester he looks like the brother of Richard Simmons if Richard Simmons looked like an ugly bear. And don't limit yourselves to these teachers. This is just the start of annoying teachers so, if it doesn't annoy them right off, don't worry. You have a week. Make it good."

"Also, I'm looking for a TA. If you're interested, see me after class. If not. All right then," John said, "let's get to it."

[OOC: Students will NOT get in trouble for calling or insulting a teacher. Just tell them John sent them and John will take the punishment. The homework can be handwaved, if you'd like, but I'd love to see you guys actually name calling a teacher. This is for fun, for kicks, and I really love and appreciate all the teachers that have said go ahead and annoy them. Have fun with this!]

"Hey, dudes! I'm Michelangelo, I'm sixteen years old -- that's people years, not turtle years -- and I guess I don't really intend to, but people don't seem so thrilled when I offer them my pizza. Which is funny. Because who out there doesn't like salami, liver and skittles on their pizza?"

"ANIMAL! ANIMAL!"

Animal doesn't know how old he is. Or how to verbally articulate how he annoys people.

Instead he demonstrates by beating his head against the log.

"BEAT LOG! BEAT LOG!"

"I'm Jo Harvelle, I'm fifteen, and as far as annoying people goes," she scratched her head. "I existed and got called a love interest shot the Vice Principal in the ass with rocksalt?"

"I'm Rikku!" She bounced excitedly. "I'm fifteen, and I like to sing Cuban Pete because Hades doesn't like it. And I like to mutiny! We decorated the vice-principal's office with silly string and princess ponies and kitten figurines and lots of pink! I have double detention but I am okay with that!" She stood and pumped a fist excitedly. "Because it was worth it! And because I am really, really tired now and I might need a nap before I go annoying more teachers. Just a quick one!"

Karal stood, smoothing down his robes in what he realised was becoming a habit. "My name is Karal Austreben. I'm sixteen years of age, and I'm not sure I have a favourite way to annoy someone. It's not something I enjoy." He paused, trying to think of something that would fit while he wondered what he was doing in this class. "Perhaps, being literal? When I was younger, that's how I would respond to some of my classmates."

"I'm Annette Hargrove, I'm seventeen and I don't annoy teachers or anyone at all." Pause. "Okay, that might not necessarily be true. It's not annoying to me because I don't see it that way, but maybe, just maybe, I talk too much. I mean, really, there is no harm in talking too much or asking tons of questions, right? If you don't ask questions, then how are you supposed to learn?" Pause. "Teachers like questions right?

Also? I might have a tendency to take things from the classroom that aren't mine and are potentially dangerous, by accident, and then realize later that I have it." Lie! "Like that thing I took one time from my Spy Tech classroom. And I shot the toe of my boot off! Man, those were expensive boots, too. But you got to know, it was totally cool, this thing, and I didn't mean to whip it out and pull it on Stickpoke, it just happened. And he was all flaily like." She laughed. "Okay, it wasn't funny really. Yes, it was. I'm hungry. Are there any donuts around or anything?"

"Hey, I'm Dick Casablancas. I'm seventeen. I like the whole playing dumb thing." said Dick. "You know, asking them a lot of dumb questions until they freak out."

"I find I annoy people even when I don't try." said Dick.

Sokka smirked.

"I like to annoy people with my razor-sharp wit and biting sarcasm. And when they annoy ME, I beat on them."

"I'm Edward Elric, and I'm sixteen," Ed said. He had to think about the third part. "And it's really gotta depend on the person. But in general, making them look stupid works."

"Evelyn Carnahan, I'm sixteen, and well, I've never intentionally annoyed anyone," she admitted. "But both Professor Deadpool and Aeryn Sun were rather-- anxious? Annoyed?" She blinked at John, trying to come up with the word. "Frustrated? When I drove the car in Driver's Ed and flew planes in flight club. I thought I did rather well, even if the simulator crashed a few times."

To talk to others in the class

Re: Talky Talky

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette would talk, sure she would. She was in a talky talk mood today.

Currently though, she was making tiny paper airplanes. She'd gotten to be a pro at this over the last school year.

"Wheee..." They soared pretty good too.

Talk to John

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

He's here and he loves to talk.

Re: Talk to John

[the_merriest]

Rikku bounced up to him after class with an enormous plate of chocolate-chip cookies. "I told you I would!" she said excitedly. "Do you know that my classes this summer are incredible?!"

Re: Talk to John

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette was just in a good mood today. Lucky her.

"Hi, John! Er, Mr. Crichton!"

Re: Introductions

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka stood directly behind Crichton and stared at him.
