Journalism Class - Wednesday September 28
Newsfeeds on, cat frolicking beneath the desks, Spider appears to be in a very good mood this morning. Good, verging on maniacal. "Today's class concerns the fine old art of 'Monstering'. Please note, this particular class may contain objectionable material, so the extra course materials have been placed elsewhere, under a friendslock and complete with warnings. That's two levels of warnings about my crass, illegal behavior. You may complain about the behavior, but not of not being warned of it."
Helping himself to a generous swallow of something lime green from a glass on the edge of his desk, Spider continued, "I've been very pleased with the homework received thus far, and I'm reminding the rest of you that you have until Friday at midnight to turn it in. Remember, any interviews with hopeful student politicians or any articles submitted to the Daily Tentacle are good for extra credit."
There was a pause as Spider counted heads before continuing. "Tomorrow, we will be organizing for Friday's field trip. I have four copies of a treasure map and we're going to divide into teams. The team that gets to the treasure first and/or does the best and most exciting job of documenting their adventure gets to keep whatever's at the X. All participants get extra credit and please be sure that you did sign up and your permissions are up to date. We'll be travelling through L-space, so while we're leaving on Friday morning, we might get back tonight. We'll see. Those of you who need permission slips because you'll be missing class, please let me know."
Spider paused to shuffle through the stack of papers on his desk which seem to be permission slips of various types. "Monstering is the fine art of hounding a wrong-doer into total, grovelling submission. A good journalist will stop at nothing to expose the truth, although one would hope that you'd save the brutality for those who deserve it and settle for bribery and honest interviews for the rest. That having been said, feel free to discuss the concept and/or the extra materials. Please be aware that the laws of my world are not the laws of yours, and always carry an experienced attorney and appropriate bail money."
