Intergalactic Justice: A Crash Course, Tuesday First Period

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the students would find a severely disinterested-looking worm sulking somewhere in the corner.

"Oh, hellooo, students," Jim said, when they'd all managed to make their way in and he could manage some scrap of enthusiasm. Some. "I'm supposed to be teaching you. You want a lesson? Community service SUCKS. I mean, what's their problem?! You don't surgically implant fish heads in the middle of an invasion from La Planeta de la Agua (arriba!) or you're going to end up shot, it's not rocket science or anything."

He took a moment to consider it. "And in terms of fashion it's reeeeally gauche." Ew. Fishheads. "Unless you're a Giant Furbearing Trout. Oh!" He leapt up to his feet, "Teaching. Riiiight. So going by the radio I figure you'll all be wanting to tell me stuff about yourselves. Be a little quick about it or I'll miss the first few minutes of my show and then I'll be really CHEESED OFF."

He took a breath to compose himself. "If you look at the table in front of you, you'll find a couple of blasters. If we're going to be dealing with Intergalactic Justice, you're going to want to figure out how those work. They come in really handy, kind of like this--"

A target in the shape of a cow popped up out of nowhere.

"EAT DIRT, YOU BOVINE INSULT TO ALL THINGS NATURAL!" Bursting into a round of malicious laughter, he reduced the target to a smoking crisp in a flurry of blasts.

Then he put the blaster back. "Alright, now it's your turn, kids."

More cow targets popped up. Jim just threw himself back in his chair and tried to look bored.

Baffle, make notes, talk amongst yourselves.

Gwen frowned. She wondered if this teacher had the same dealer as that blowfish back in Cardiff.

Gladys stood at the back of the class and listened.

Peter noticed Gladys and waved hi.

Gladys waved back, eyes brightening. She was as happy to see him as a golem could be, reassured that he was in her first class.

Peter moved closer so they could talk. "How's it going? Settling in okay?"

"I Am Having My First Class And I Have Met Many Of My Cabinmates. Already I Have Learned Many Things, So It Is Going Well," she replied.

"Good," Peter said. "Everybody treating you okay? Anybody I need to beat up yet?"

"No. Everyone Has Been Very Nice, If Surprised. The Boys In My Cabin Are Respectful." She paused. "I Did Not Know That Girls And Boys Were Allowed To Live Together."

"One of the quirks of Fandom," Peter said. "Most places they wouldn't be. In the dorms I room with a girl named Mac."

"It Would Be Inappropriate Were We In Ankh-Morpork, But If The School Says It Is All Right Then It Must Be." Another pause. "Each Thing I Learn Seems To Lead To Another Thing That Must Be Learned. Is This Normal?"

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely," Peter assured her. "That's the best part. There's always new stuff to learn. It's part of what makes the world - uh - everything around us so interesting."

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

"Yes," she agreed after a moment. "It Is Interesting. I Look Forward To Learning What Else I Am Going To Learn." She looked down at him. "Thank You."

Re: Listen to the Lecture

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Anytime," Peter assured her.

Wes? Pretty much with the baffling, yeah.

Well, a worm teaching a class was a first. At least he had energy though and wasn't just going to inch his way through the class.

Sokka was going to love this class. LOVE it.

Lion-o was a little puzzled by the teacher's method, but he paid attention. At least, he did until he got bored.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

Oooookay. Okay.

The fact that they were being taught by a worm (a Worm, she supposed, since he could talk--and teach) was a bit... unsettling.

But if they were going to get to shoot things then she had no problem at all with him.

Naomi didn't baffle so much but she was feeling slightly confused as she listened to the lecture.

The sad part was? Marco had seen still stranger.

Friday had decided last night that nothing was weird anymore. This was still a little weird.

Alice had been curious about whether "Earthworm" was a nickname or a descriptive term. Good to have that cleared up.

Alex could definitely say with some confidence this was the craziest teacher he'd ever had.

Sora was maybe a wee bit excited.
