Intergalactic Justice, Tuesday Period One

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

"Today, we're going to be talking about..."

Jim had his hands full of notes, and he was staring at them in a desperate attempt to find out which one to use. After some flipping (and several notes floating down to the ground in the process), he finally found what he was looking for. "...Art-ee-facts! Also known as worldy... stuff." He gestured at the table he was standing next to-- it held a book, a snowglobe, an egg beater, a roll of Word of the Day toilet paper, a fish in a plastic goldfish bowl and what appeared to be a plush doll with a speech mechanism inside. "Stuff," he continued, doggedly, "Is really really really important if you want to be saving the universe from smaller or greater peril.

"For instance, you never know when you're going to wind up in some kind of underseas mutant fishing problem and if you do, it's really handy to carry a lot of kitchen utensils with you, although obviously you can't keep all of them in your pockets. However," he said, seriously, "The most important part of stuff is when you haven't got any and you desperately need some, like when the universe is threatening to be exploded by a mad cat genius, or someone left your underwear on the wire."

He made a few more bold gestures at the objects on the table, which all seemed to produce some kind of deep, ethereal glow. "This is just a small selection of stuff, but it is a very important one. I want you all to pick the one that looks most important to you, and tell me what you think it might be important for." He grinned. "See this as a great exercise for warming up the great stolid depths of your pristine little imaginations, kids!"

Gladys

Listen to the Lecture

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

It is profound. Pay attention.

Gladys loomed at back of the classroom, staring at Jim intently. Not that one would necessarily get intently from the expressionless face and flickering eyes, but she was intent nevertheless.

Gwen was intensely wary of stuff. Stuff was the entire reason she was here after all, and even when it wasn't turning you into an adolescent clone, there was every chance it would make your head explode, or liquefy your clothes.

For his second note of the lecture, Sokka wrote down "Stuff is Important."

Because it was.

Re: Listen to the Lecture

Stuff. Important.

Okay. That had required, what? Three seconds thought? Ino wrinkled her nose.

Naomi was paying attention to the lecture but she wasn't really trying to take notes.

Jen kept her visual scanners on today, purportedly to pick up any interesting readings off the, uh, Stuff.

In actuality, it was just to hide the bug-eyed look of bogglement.

Lee found himself wondering just how much stuff Jim had encountered to base a whole lecture around it.

Lion-o didn't take notes. He just stared at Jim.

This, Marco understood. Stuff was important.

Stuff was important.

Stuff was what you sold.

Naturally, Turtle is taking careful notes.

Stuff. Was important. Right.

Alex had a feeling the worm was using 'artifacts' differently than his teachers at the Academy had.

Alice had to wonder if the Cat had ever considered being a mad cat genius. He didn't seem the type, really, but one never knew.

Sora had to agree that stuff could be pretty damn important. If he hadn't had his Keyblade there would have been no world saving.

At least not for him.

Pick an Object

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

A book, a snowglobe, an egg beater, a roll of Word of the Day toilet paper, a fish in a plastic goldfish bowl and a plush toy. Pick one, guess what it might be important for.

It's kind of like show and tell, except for JUSTICE.

Re: Pick an Object

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

Gladys picked up each item in turn, considered it carefully, and finally settled on the egg beater. "It Would Be Useful For Beating Eggs," she intoned.

Golems weren't much for imagination.

Re: Pick an Object

[ihaveniceteeth.livejournal.com]

Gwen pointed at the snowglobe. "Alien trade goods. If you happened to be running into any aliens."

Re: Pick an Object

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

With great panache, Sokka held aloft the toilet paper and declared, "IT DISPENSES WISDOM!" He held the pose for a dramatically significant moment, and then added, "Wisdom and cleanliness! Cleanliness FOR JUSTICE!!!"

Re: Pick an Object

[intraspective]

Ino picked up the plush toy. "It's harmless looking and you can give it to a kid to shut them up if you need to get past them?"

Re: Pick an Object

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter picked up the book. "Information, stave off boredom, something to help start a fire if you need to..."

Re: Pick an Object

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

Lee picked up the egg beater. "Um, weapon in a pinch?"

Talk to Jim

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

He might be carefully watching anyone getting too handsy with that toilet paper.

Re: Talk to Jim

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

"I Do Not Like Cows And You Should Not Have Made Ino Ask Me Such An Inappropriate Question." Gladys was practically glowering, and she was definitely looming.

OOC

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

Three nil. Three nil. I am not going to stop mentioning this until Friday.

Re: OOC

A pint to that!

Oh and I already booked flights so now it's your time to back down.
