fandomhigh | Mad Thientithtth And How To Thurvive Them [week 01

"Welcome to Thurviving Mad Thientithtth." Igor gave the assembled students a big toothy grin. "While you are in thith clath, lithping will be mandatory. It ith an Igor tradition. I am teaching you how to be Igorth, therefore, you will lithp." Igor handed each student a satchel, containing a number of items, and a syllabus. "The Igor clan hath a long tradition of therving thothe whom otherth might judge to be of quethionable thanity, conveniently lumped under the term mad thcientithtth. Thith ith your firtht letthon: we make no moral judgementh, we jutht do our jobth. Our job ith whatever the mathter requireth and if you want to thurvive working for a mad thientitht, you do your job well.

Today, the job ith in three partth. Firtht, introduthe yourthelf tho we can get to know each other. Thecond, tell me what you would take out of a burning building. Third, practithe your lithping by repeating thith phrathe." He passed out pieces of paper on which was written: She sells sea shells by the sea shore.

"Next week, everyone wear clotheth you don't mind getting thtained. Actually, wear thoth every week; until you refine your techniqueth, you're going to get methy. And don't forget your thatchelth."

[ooc: ~~Pleathe wait for~~ And we have OCD! If writing out the lisping gets to be too much, you can handwave it as long as you indicate in narrative that the character lisped. Otherwise, Igor will patiently correct them.]

Lispingly!

...the reacting to the lecture, and the boggling at Igor.

And don't forget to lisp!

What would you take out of a burning building?

And try not to spit too much.

He'll be here, in all his Igorish glory.

Couple of things about Igor: He's a hunchback with two massive ears, one droopy eye and one bulging eye, and he is covered in prominent scars. He also has six fingers on his left hand, and five fingers and two thumbs on the right. Height-wise, he stands just at five feet, because of the hunch.

Igors traditionally lisp - not because they have to, but because it is a tradition. This Igor thinks that's very old fashioned, but he takes his teaching duties seriously and so, while teaching, he will follow the old ways and lisp. Outside of teaching, he won't.

~~Igor is also in need of a TA - if you're interested, drop me a comment here.~~ And we got one!

Friday Nextht

Jeth Murdock

"Er, hi," Jeff said, more than a little bit relieved to find that this teacher was, at least, not a woman.

On the other hand, it gave him a lot less to look at, which was bad. "...I'm, er, Jef-- I mean, Jeth. Hi."

Public speaking, however, was still not one of his best sides.

Now this was an exceptionally easy question. "My pornography, obvious-- I mean, obviouthethlee."

Igor grinned at him. "That'th a good start on a lithp you have there," he said. "Welcome to clath."

Jeff nodded curtly. "Thankth," he said, honestly.

This was absolutely insane and Friday loved it.

The lisping took a little getting used to. It was like dealing with a teacher who had an accent. Once you had the hang of it, it was easy enough to understanding. Still, Friday found himself trying to pronounce things with a lisp to see how it felt with his tongue in the way. It made him look quite silly.

"Er, my go? I'm Friday Nextht."

"What I take out of a burning building would really depend on the building and what'th in it in the firtht plathe." He slowed down when he had to lisp, as if it took a moment to get it right.

She thellth thea," he had to stop and think, "shellth by the," another pause, "thea shore."

Friday ducked his head and snickered at Jeff's answer.

"Very good," he said, nodding in approval. "Flexithibility of mind ith important."

"Welcome to clath, Friday." Igor chuckled, a rather disturbing sight. "Both on a Friday, and to you, Friday."

Gavin Darkthlighter

This was different. Very different. Gavin had no idea if he could talk with a lisp like that without knocking his two front teeth out.

Gavin practiced a few times under his breath. The lisping was hard and he so wasn't knocking his teeth out. They were useful.

"Um. I'm Gavin Darkthlighter," he said.

"Ifth there'th people, I'd try and taketh them," Gavin said, trying that lisping thing again. "Ifth not, probably nothingth."

"Nice lipthing," Igor told him. "You'd make a good mad thienitht with a latht name like that."
