Tuesday, June 12th - Period 3 - Advanced Beginner's Guide to Phrenology, Horse-Raising, and Squids

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

Anyone hoping that the Jerries would be mysteriously absent this week were to be sadly disappointed. Jerry Sizzler - and his sister, Jerry Sizzler! - were in the Danger Shop this always said Danger Shop, which they handwavily told you all to assemble at, Jerry! bright and early on Tuesday. It was entirely possible that they had spent the night there. Perhaps several nights. It would certainly explain the lingering smell of turnip cake.

"Good morning!" cried one Jerry, throwing a handful of confetti. "Welcome to the Olympics!"

"We have exclusive coverage, Jerry!"

"If you see the other networks here, stab them!"

"You may stab them with the specially provided bank deposit slips," added one Jerry helpfully.

"Our first event today is very special indeed, Jerry."

"Is the cameraman getting this, Jerry!?"

"We will zoom in close, for a montage!"

And this would be where one Jerry trained the nonexistent camera on the other's nose hair for three minutes while talking in an undertone about overcoming adversity. The Jerry being filmed stuck a finger in his ear and began reciting noun infinitives in Swedish.

It was a very touching montage.

"For our first event!" cried one Jerry.

"Yes! We must solve ... the mystery!"

Both Jerries grabbed flashlights and flicked them on under their chins, while making wailing noises. It's possible the Jerries didn't realize it was daytime, or that nobody was telling a ghost story. You didn't like to ask, some times.

"Yes! Go round to the exhibits, Jerry! All of the evidence and clues are here!" explained one Jerry.

The other Jerry was still wailing, although a few "ooga-chucka"s got thrown in from time to time.

"Only you can tell us who the culprit is!" cried one Jerry.

"Only you can prevent forest fires!" announced the other, stopping mid-"ooga chucka".

"Only you can play with matches!"

"Only you can play with my heart, darling!"

"Jerry! I never!"

Yet again, class was delayed for a few minutes while the Jerries attempted to strangle on another. Take a shot!

"Jerry!" cried one Jerry. "The investigation!"

"The investments!"

"The investables!"

"The vests!"

"Gather the clues, Jerry!" said one Jerry, with a sweep of his hands.

"Make us proud!"

"And remember, you are all competing in the World Championship Olympics!"

"Reach for your dreams!"

"Or someone else's dreams!"

"Steal their dreams!"

"Steal their hairnets!"

"We believe in you," said one Jerry, nodding solemnly.

That was perhaps far less reassuring than it was intended to be.

Boggle! Risk! Monopoly!

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

There are no provided board games, so instead, stare at the crazy people and talk amongst yourselves.

Re: Boggle! Risk! Monopoly!

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel's not really in the class. But she'd heard enough to convince her to come and check it out.

She's sitting to the side, quietly boggling.

Re: Boggle! Risk! Monopoly!

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Cedric really loved this class.

Re: Boggle! Risk! Monopoly!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Pfft. Sokka's done boggling at them. He's just waiting for more crazy.

Re: Boggle! Risk! Monopoly!

"Yahtzee!" Jim yelled out. Just to see if there would be a reaction.

Exhibit #1!

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

This is the first stand with clues on it, Jerry! It is helpfully marked "Exhibit 1."

Exhibit 1 is a large round fishbowl with marbles in it. There is also a slip of paper crumpled in there, sticking half-out, and several cashews sprinkled around the top.

Also, there is a happy face finger-painted onto the side of the bowl. In red.

What does it all mean???

Re: Exhibit #1!

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara poked at the marbles and tried to see if she could read the paper.

Re: Exhibit #1!

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"The fish is missing," Cedric said helpfully.

Re: Exhibit #1!

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"The butler did it," Jim declared.

Exhibit #2!

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

The next stand has seven photographs of the back of a motorcycle. Six of them appear to be identical, at first glance; the seventh was taken at a sideways angle.

On the stand there is large 100x-power microscope. There is also an ink pad, a rubber stamp screaming "NO SOUP FOR YOU!", a butter dish filled with pencil shavings, and the Sears Roebuck Christmas Catalogue from 1982.

Who is the culprit???

Re: Exhibit #2!

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Cedric's wondering why someone would have a no soup for you stand, mostly.

Re: Exhibit #2!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka took one of the identical six and tore it in half, nodding sagely at anyone who was watching.

Re: Exhibit #2!

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"The butler did it," Jim repeated.

Exhibit #3!

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

The third stand has been set up almost like a little science lab.

There are three test tubes filled with a brownish liquid, a bunsen burner, four pipettes, six vials marked "HCl - DO NOT TOUCH!!!" with a skull and crossbones underneath, four bottles of Perrier, and two Little Debby Swiss Cake Rolls, still in the wrapper.

(OOC: the vials marked HCl are not, in fact, hydrochloric acid, should your student care to throw them around a little. They're just Sprite.

How will we solve this mystery???

Re: Exhibit #3!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka munched on one of the Swiss Cake Rolls. Detecting is hard work, after all. Besides, he already knew who the culprit was.

Re: Exhibit #3!

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"The butler did it," Jim declared once more.

Exhibit #4!

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

There is a person seated on a stool! Not a real person, Jerry! Just a holographic figment of the Danger Shop!

The person seated on the stool probably does not like you. Sorry, Jerry.

You must ask the person seated on the stool about the night of March 5th. It says so on the helpfully provided chalkboard.

This is not at all a shameless reuse of the icons I uploaded for Jerrydetention.

What does he or she know???

Re: Exhibit #4!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Sooo.... About March 5th?" Sokka asked.

Exhibit #5!

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

On a counter in front of you, there is a loaf of bread, and several slices each of ham, turkey, salami, bologna, and roast beef. Still chilled as if the latter were recently pulled from a refrigerator, Jerry!

Next to these are containers of mayo, mustard, butter, ketchup, and horseradish. There's also salt, pepper, and oregano.

There are also a wide variety of cheeses.

What does this clue indicate???

Re: Exhibit #5!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

LUNCH! It indicates LUNCH.

Sokka made himself a cold cut sandwich with the works -- it ended up so tall that bits started falling out from between the slices of bread. If only there were lettuce and tomato, his life would be complete!

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH!

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

Come, Jerry! Solve the mystery! Tell us all how you did it, Sherlock Holmes! Answer the clues and ... buy a vowel! Buy all of the vowels! You're rich, Jerry, rich!

Remember, this is being filmed for the Olympics, so do try your best.

Solve that crime!

Re: THE MOMENT OF TRUTH!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka stood up in front of the class.

"ATTENTION! I would like you all to know that I have, in fact, discovered the culprit, with my amazing skills of deduction.

It was ME!!! Yes, that's right, ME. I did it! I stole the donkeys!"

Bank Deposit Slips

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

They're over here in case you see someone filming for another network. You may commence stabbing now.

Re: Bank Deposit Slips

[stuckeyboy]

Warren made paper airplanes out of the deposit slips.

Our Illustrious TA

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the crown prince of Hackeysack knows where the Queen hid her crumpets! If that was a real mystery! Which is isn't! Which is why we have the Olympics and you don't!

Wait for the TA to ping in, despite this confusing icon that we shall never stop using, Jerry! Ever!

Re: Our Illustrious TA

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Back in Denmark, Hamlet's Mother Queen Gertrude used to hide the crumpets inside a 400-year-old bejeweled box, in hopes that no one else would find them. It had taken Hamlet until he was twelve to find them, and then sneak out fresh crumpets whenever she wasn't around.

Your glorious royal TA was here, ready to answer any questions, and hide the garbage can that had pieces of paper marked "Exhibit #6" through "Exhibit #29 and 7/4ths".


Imma gonna cut u 4 stealin ma icon, foo!!!!1!

Talk to the Jerries!

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

During class! After class! Poke them with spoons! No, they aren't badgers, and we have no spoons.

Re: Talk to the Jerries!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka poked them some more with bank deposit slips.

OOC

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

If I knew WTF was going on, I assure you, I'd tell you.

Hold me.
