School Assembly, Friday Afternoon

[idontlooktired.livejournal.com]

Harriet was beaming as she walked out on stage. "Good afternoon. I'm Harriet Jones, Dean of Students."

Before she could continue, there was a heckling from the back of the auditorium, sounding not unlike a certain flame haired god of the dead. "Yes, we know who you are!"

Harriet fixed the back of the room with a look. "If I could continue, please?" There was silence. "Thank you. Now, there's been a recurring problem with gremlins at this school, so in the interests of educating you about this potential danger, we've arranged for some people to speak here this afternoon. I urge you to give them your attention, and don't be afraid to ask question. After they finish, of course."

[ooc: You have must waited for the OCD! Instructions (cause I was tired when I OCD'd and it kinda got away from me...): Speaker, please ping into the space for your talk, then ping into the ask questions thread when you're ready to answer questions. Students who are speaking, just ping in with your talk, and people can ask questions off that ping. Hades modded with permission!]

Mingle before the assembly

Talk and chat and converse and find yourself a seat, perhaps for more talking and chatting and conversing.

Meg took a seat and wondered if she'd finally get to see a gremlin.

Jack was there, wondering what this one was about. Okay, so he was starting to fall asleep.

Jeff was still looking mildly frazzled from the dog incident that morning.

Then again, Jeff always looked frazzled. It was the hair.

He sat down.

Anemone wandered in and grabbed a seat, curious to know more about all these gremlin stories she had heard.

Peter couldn't help coming to this assembly though it seemed like there was a high probability of getting gremlin bit while here.

Johnny took a seat, hoping to be entertained. He was also doing a girlfriend check to see if Savannah was around.

Andrew really hoped this wasn't boring. He was in need of a pick-me-up.

Considering that Peter was the most recent gremlin victim that he was aware of, he took his seat cautiously.

Sit at his feet and listen in awe. Or you could just stay in your chairs.

Either way is good.

Once they've pinged in to tell their stories, the audience can ask them questions.

Rikku bounced up to the stage and waved. "Uh, hiya! Okay, I've never been bitten or whatever? But other people have and it's really awesome. I mean. It's kinda humiliating or embarrassing or whatever? But then, lots of stuff around here is. Like the weekend we were all our own evil twins, right? Okay. So. Everybody looks stupid now and again, and it keeps us all on our toes. And when someone's suddenly crazy, you have to go, gosh, is my little sibling his own evil twin, or doing performance art, or is does he really think that droid is a tiger?" Her eyes widened. "Hypothetically speaking, I mean, not that Gavin would do anything like that. Hi, Gavin!"

"Uh. But. You know. Last year someone completely, uh, unrelated got bit by a gremlin and there was a droid there, too - different droid! - and video of the incident ended up as part of a film festival and I think was acclaimed pretty highly and the droid might now have new opportunities ahead of him as a director and that's pretty amazing, isn't it? I mean. That's pretty great for the arts and for all of us getting to experience it, not just when it happens, but also on videotape for later, not that anyone wanted copies just to laugh at - the people who might have hypothetically been involved. Uh. Yeah. But see? The, uh, future of ... our children or something like that depends on it, right?"

"So I say we keep the gremlins. And lastly, uh, if you ever get into a conversation with a gremlin-zapped person and they offer to bounce a quarter off someone else's ... um ... body? Just say no. Thank you! Any questions?"
