Dealing With Stupid People [Tuesday, August 21, 2nd period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh was sitting in a chair in the Danger Shop, which was mocked up to look like Caritas a karaoke bar.

"One of the most common places to run into stupid people--especially stupid ones who won't take hints--is in a social situation."

He waved his hands around. "Stupid people who don't know lyrics, stupid people who order drinks with plastic monkeys in them, stupid people who won't take no for an answer, it's all wrapped into a typical Friday night." He grinned. "And that's your challenge today. You get to be those annoying people. All of you. See how long mutual stupidity will last before one of you has to break character and attempt to beat each other with sticks."

He took a sip from his mug of coffee. "It's been a thing, kids. See you all in government class."

Stupid People Sing!

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Sing, sing a song! Sing it loud, sing it long, sing it with the wrong lyrics! See how long it takes someone to crack.

"I just called." Charlie took a breath. "To say." Another. "I LOOOOOOVE YOUUUU!"

Totally off-key. "I just called."

Beat.

"To say how much I CARE, IIIII DO!"

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Oh, very nice!" Eve called, enthusiastically and sincerely. She even clapped.

And then made a mental note to go into town later and buy something for the migraine she was sure to have.

Re: Stupid People Sing!

Gavin knew no Earth songs.

So, he just put random words together and sang them loudly and off key.

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka knew how to do that!

Believe it or not, when he was deliberately trying to sing badly? His singing was worse than usual.

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel glared at Sokka's bad singing.

And attempted to peck at him until he stopped.

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"OW! HEY! OW! Quit it!" Sokka waved his arms wildly, trying to ward off the bird. "Professor Lemon, is this thing yours?"

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel squawked a couple of times and glared at Sokka. She was definitely NOT a thing. Human in bird form but NOT a thing. Damn it.

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey, look at that! It was almost as if the bird understood what he was... saying.

He looked it in the eye. "Student?"

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel rolled her eyes which looked a little different in bird form but nodded.

The she gestured to the pink and purple highlights on her feathers.

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

It took Sokka longer than it should have, staring at her plumage, to catch on. And then he started chuckling. "MEL?" he asked. "Oh, man, Umbridge got you good, huh? Where's your boyfriend? He's gotta see this!"

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel attempted to peck at Sokka again. NOT HER BOYFRIEND!

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"It IS you!" Sokka chuckled gleefully, doing his best to bat her away. Then he started making kissy noises in her direction.

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel glared at Sokka.

She contemplated scratching his eyes out. Katara can heal that, right?

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka knew that expression. Any time a girl looked at him that way, it meant he was about to experience lots of pain.

Except right now, she was a bird.

"Pffft. Don't try anything stupid," he said. "I can take you."

Re: Stupid People Sing!

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel squawked out a warning. Dude. You don't want to mess with this.

Stupid People Order Drinks!

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Make it complicated! Try to impress someone with your completely made up knowledge of drinks! Decide the bartender is trying to short change you!

Re: Stupid People Order Drinks!

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

Eve really just wanted to see how long it'd take her to confuse the ever-loving shit out of the bartender. Because really? She liked arguing with people.

"No, that's not what I ordered!" she protested, putting a note of hysteria into her voice. "It's not, I tell you!"

Re: Stupid People Order Drinks!

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah was watching Eve... and giggled uncontrollably... even though she was tempted to hit the bartender... just because.

Re: Stupid People Order Drinks!

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

Eve couldn't help turning to Savannah. "Can you believe this?" she asked rather huffily. "First I order something and get a drink that is not what I ordered, and then he doesn't even have the decency to admit it and apologize!"

Re: Stupid People Order Drinks!

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah made a tsk'ing sound. "You would think that an ass whose livelihood relies on tips would know better."

Re: Stupid People Order Drinks!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka thumped on the bar. "Armadillo-bear on the rocks," he ordered. "Hold the cinnamon."

Stupid People Can't Take Hints!

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Try out your knowledge from awesome classes like Sex Edder and How to Be Awesome in a real-ish world situation.

It'll totally turn out well. For real.

Re: Stupid People Can't Take Hints!

[absolutesnark]

Summer figured the babbling curse would be of good use here.

Re: Stupid People Can't Take Hints!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"LADIES, LADIES, LADIES!!!" Sokka shouted. "Who wants to get nasty???"

OOC

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

I'm around sporadically tomorrow, but the big work thing is wrapping up so they're probably be a wheels-up party. Try to annoy the crap out of each other, or mod NPCs to your little hearts' contents.
