fandomhigh | Study Hall -- Wednesday, September 28th

Welcome to Wednesday's study hall. I'm in a considerably better mood than yesterday, which mostly means none of you will be getting set on fire today. I reserve the right to threaten you with it, though. You have no fucking idea how entertaining the looks on your faces are when I do that.

*grins wickedly and takes a drag off her cigarette*

The announcements for today --

-- Biff is missing once again from the front of the teachers lounge. If somebody could find that stupid goddamn bear and drag it back, I'd appreciate it. (I won't be rettaching any limbs you might lose, though. That's your fucking problem, not mine.)

-- After the events of last weekend, I'm thinking of lifting the weapons ban. I'll be opening up a discussion section in the comments for those opposed and those for the weapons ban to hash out any differences they might have, any requests they might have for licensing or policing those who wish to carry their weapons, and any other problems they might wish to discuss.

-- Parents Weekend will take place on October 28th, 29th, and 30th. For the record, you may make one new RPG journal for whichever parent, guardian, relation, or mortal enemy you might wish to bring in for your character. These characters cannot already be enrolled in the school or exist in town, and if you can find someone not already involved in the game to play them just for that weekend, all the better. However, these characters will not be allowed posting access on FH or any related communities, they will only be allowed to comment in designated threads -- open houses for classes, the Halloween dance, etc. They're only here to visit for one weekend, folks -- they won't be hanging in the dorms or taking classes or anything. Also, teachers will be allowed to call parent/teacher conferences with any of their students they might wish to meet with (or any "parent" they might wish to interview ... *snerk*).

(OOC: Also, for the record, I'm not playing John Connor anymore -- I've passed him off to someone else. Now he can get a little more play, the poor antisocial bastard. :))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

If weapons are reinstated, I want a list - for use in any eventual murder proceedings - of who has what.

That is definitely fair for anyone who claims they don't want to hurt anyone to do.

*hands over list of all weapons she carries, all martial skills possessed, all known enemies -- nil*

Good faith.

[[OOC'ly wonders if mutant/natural powers would have to be disclosed as well. Since Rogue's entire body could, technically, be defined as a weapon...]]

((ooc: Good question. That appears to be the way the tide is turning in the discussions.))

[[If so, Rogue is going to be VERY VERY much against it, since it will sound, to her, very much like the Mutant Registration Act, and, um, that's just v. v. bad in the X-verse.]]

((ooc: I was thinking of you mutant characters when the whole thing came up. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.))

((OOC: Spider will fight that one to the DEATH. That's discrimination, and any student who argues that they need to be armed because their fellow students aren't human... loses at life. The amount of distrust here, most of it based on OOC knowledge... is going to drive him up a wall.))

[[Good to know Spider's on their side. And as far as I know, most students here just think Rogue's just a little weird for the gloves, and only a handful know what she can really do. So far, I think most of the ire in the thread is directed at magic users (Draco, Harry) who have expressly admitted to it; 'Duce, because she can't really hide it; and Angelus, because, well, evil soulless vampire much? As slong as no one starts mentioning mutants by name, there's some IC basis for most of it.]]

OOC: Hey, Kitty Pryde just posted too about nearly the same thing. :)

[Death to me. Jack-Mun is stupid and assumeing makes... I have to go redo a comment real quick.]

[[Yeah, Kitty just jumped in on that discussion, for the same reason.]]

[OOC: I brought the point up with Principal Connor when the ban first went into effect since Tick's whole body is a Weapon of Justice.

Sure, it was comedic, but her decision not to confine him to the shooting range would count as precedent.]
