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

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John's lounging comfortably against a log when the students come upon the main campfire. He waits a few moments for the students to take their seats, chat a little before he sits up and smiles.

"Welcome back," he said. "You survived your first week of annoying teachers and no one came to kill me. Either you guys are really good, really bad, or you scared the teachers. So, first, turn in your homework by telling me who you guys annoyed handwavy, if you need and how."

And he waited some more for the class to tell him about their homework.

"Great." A clap of his hands and he launched into today's lesson. "Today, we're going to talk about a simple technique that can be one of the most annoying things you ever use."

John paused. He was big on dramatic pauses.

"Name calling, while sufficient, can sometimes be brushed off by people who think it's funny or just enjoy being mocked. Now, we're going to do something I like to mimicry. Basically, it's repeating exactly what someone says back to them. You can use different intonations, facial expressions and innuendo, but the words have to be same. This is annoying, believe me. I've done it before, I've had it done to me. Eventually, it either flusters people to the point they walk away in a huff or they just yell at you to stop. This is what we want."

John rubbed his hands together, looking around at his class. "So, let's pair up and practice. Try to make the mimics expressive and different. Don't be monotone. Let your partner know that you know you're mimicking them. For your homework, I want you guys to mimic a teacher. Mimic for as long as you want in anyway you want. Remember, you won't get in trouble. Tell them I sent you and I'll take the punishment."

After teaching the lesson, John said, "Okay, let's get started."

[OOC: Homework can be handwavy, just don't use specific teacher names if you handwave so as not to mod something that shouldn't be modded but mimic away if you have the time because mwahahahaha. Again, you don't get in trouble if you tell the teacher John sent you. Also, fellow teachers who have been annoyed? Feel free to confront John in the appropriate thread! Have fun!]

You can give a link to the thread where you annoyed someone or just handwave it!

"Well," she began, standing up and talking to John. "I tried really hard to annoy Madeline and Sylvia (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1368862.html?thread=81714718#t81716766). They're not very easily annoyed but I think I might have done an okay job at it."

"Let's see...oh yeah, and then there was Deadpool (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1693657.html?thread=78117593#t78117593). Though I can't be certain who annoyed who more. Well, I'll just say I won." She then went on to explain her conversation with him.

Annette smiled, "And lastly I think I might have annoyed you, John (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1369662.html?thread=81656894#t81656894). Do I get extra credit?"

Karal wasn't entirely certain if this constituted annoying a teacher, but there'd been definite hints of irritation when he'd been talking to Ares, so he decided to describe what had happened (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1371813.html?thread=81991845#t81991845).

"I annoyed GOB (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1704004.html?thread=78704708#t78704708),"she said. "By telling him he doesn't know what he's talking about."

Evie looked very discouraged. "I tried, Mr. Crichton. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1374906.html?thread=82824122#t82824122) Really I did. But Professor Deadpool just kept agreeing with me, or getting confused. I'm going to try again today, though!"

"I annoyed Deadpool (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1374906.html?thread=82649786#t82649786)," Zuko claimed. It might quite possibly have been the other way around and he might have been too worked up to remember he was supposed to annoy someone.

"Well, it wasn't a teacher, but I annoyed the Sheriff (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1700792.html)," Edward said. Not that he'd ever spend days planning on how to do that before really. "Twice. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1372045.html?thread=82189965#t82189965)"

Door frowns. "I think I might have annoyed Mister GOB? By letting him think I was trying to chat him up and then telling him I had leprosy when he asked me over to his flat. But it's hard to tell if he actually minded."

"Does completely brushing off a lesson to pep-talk a friend (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1375808.html?thread=82941504#t82941504) count?" Granted, he had started on the lesson. But there were wee orange beads. They had to be played with. It was like a calling. "Or should I have stuck with wacky pizza plan number one?"
Which would have worked better if he knew where he could make a pizza around here.

Mikey probably needed to work on that.

Rikku stood up. "I have failed you, sensei." And bowed. "I was so caught up in detention and the fallout from the mutiny that I forgot that that wouldn't count, since it was before class. So I went into town this morning and handwavily tried to pester anyone who looked like a teacher, with mixed results. This class would be easier if I didn't really like all of my other classes this term. But these are merely excuses. I am sorry."

She bit her lip. "I did dye my hair, though. Does that count for anything?"

Jude didn't have to talk about his homework.

He was wearing it. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1373248.html?thread=82436416#t82436416)

Sokka mutely handed John a Tyvek envelope sealed with many layers of packing tape and smiled.

Evie was writing down new insults in her notebook:

Twit.
Nitwit.
Some village is missing its idiot!
Your fashion sense is retro!
Perhaps you should consider a career as a crossing guard.
Bumbling....

She frowned, then tried to think of what she called Jonathan when she was very upset with him.

Tiresome, irresponsible, short-sighted, drunken lout!

Partner Up and Mimic Each Other

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

See who can annoy who first! If there's an odd number of people, John will be that person's partner.

Re: Partner Up and Mimic Each Other

[lovesrenoir.livejournal.com]

Animal isn't trying to mimic anyone at the moment.

Currently he's looking at the girl students and panting heavily.

Re: Partner Up and Mimic Each Other

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette waited for a partner.

Mikey was bouncing in place as he waited for a partner.

His mun is also bouncy, as she has to leave for work very shortly and will be entirely AFK for another seven or eight hours.

Re: Partner Up and Mimic Each Other

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka sat around smirking and waiting. If he wanted to mimic someone, they had to speak first, right?

He's here for students and teachers that might want to kill him make him pay for being annoyed.

Aly found John. Looking perfectly innocent and not at all like someone who was planning on murder.

No world ending here! The 'repeat game' used to annoy my mother so so so so much.
