Criminal Justice Class 8

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Fluff class today. That's better than the No Class that I was expecting, though.]

*Tick is at the podium, as normal. Well, as normal as ever. He looks slightly worn out, as if he had been struggling with something.*

Egads! Writing a test is TOUGH!

I'm a little pressed for time today, but I wanted to work on one of your less developed Justice-related skills: metaphors. A cunning metaphor when talking to someone after stopping an evildoer can help build your reputation as a the Surfboard of Righteousness on the Gnarly Wave of Lawlessness! Grab that curl, students, and hang ten!

So today's discussion is to come up with a metaphor to complete one of the following sentences:

*Justice is...

*Professor The Tick is...

*Crime is...

And remember, extra credit bird calls are still being accepted, and our first exam will take place a week from today.

Ash's Art Appreciation, Studio Work #3

[names-ash.livejournal.com]

::The classroom has large slabs of clay and sculpting tools laid out for the students, and the same picture of Janet Fraiser is set out on display, as well::

::Ash is asleep at his desk, Lisa Cuddy's "Janet in Cave Woman bikini" painting nearby::

::The instructions are on the chalkboard, as usual::

"MASTER-BABY REQUIRES IDOLS. SCULPT HER IMAGE. MAKE SURE TO EMPHASIZE HER GLORIOUS 'ASSETS'."

Journalism Class - Thursday October 6

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider looks like he hasn't slept in a week, and has obviously been chain-smoking with his cat. If he had hair, he'd be in the middle of a bad hair day. Even his tattoos look like they hurt. He has a giant vat of coffee on the edge of his paper-strewn desk, there are take-out boxes everywhere, and he's muttering pretty much constantly under his breath.

The back of the room has fresh coffee with all the fixings, gourmet snacks and tidbits and the screens are running playback feed from last night's debate.

Again, on the screen behind him, there's a message:

Today - Villians. Discuss. Yadda Yadda. Tomorrow we'll be doing a class project tying all three themes together. Double credit.




((OOC: The player is aware that there have been four themes. Spider is just very tired.))

Soc 201: Criminology (10/6)

[drgrissom.livejournal.com]

Grissom sits in the front of the class - he looks exhausted, grumpy, and a little zoned out. He is wearing his sexy as hell, and you know it straw hat in an attempt to make himself feel better.

"Everyone please take a seat, and hand in your homework from last class. [ooc: links are fine] We will spend the rest of class discussing your results."


Assignment for Monday: Read Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, as we will be having a discussion on Monday regarding the text, and sign up for the Body Farm trip if you'd like. We will have class after we return on Thursday.

Biology

[equalsmcsquared.livejournal.com]

In light of next week's field trip, I won't be holding a proper class today. I'm passing around permission slips and I'll be glad to answer any questions you have about what to expect when we go to the body farm. Please don't forget to sign the roll.

Also, if you sign up for the trip and do not show up, you will either write a 10-page research report on a topic of my choosing, or have detention. *a pleasant smile*

The Library is Open -- If You Dare

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos unlocks the library and opens the doors -- even reasonably on time, for once.

He notices a piece of paper shoved under the door and stoops to pick it up. He unfolds and reads it. "Heh. I may take you up on that, MacLeod."

As he rises, a jury-rigged guilotiene blade comes crashing down just missing his neck (and toes). Methos stares at it buried in the hallway floor.

"I. Am. Going. To. KILL. Him."

He heads into the library, then heads out of the library with his sword. "Draco! Where are you, you little punk! Your head is *SO* mine!"

Luckily, he left the door open behind him, so people can get in to the library.

Martial Arts Class 5

[bridekiddo.livejournal.com]

(OOC: Assume I posted this yesterday, rehearsals for Robin Hood have got me all messed up)

Again there is a television and dvd player set up with movies, but this time they are movies about technique which the students will be learning. "Alright guys, this is B.B." Beatrix points to the little girl sitting in a chair at her desk. "She'll be observing the class today. So...first thing, we will be watching several videos this week and next to learn some techniques, I myself will be showing you some of these moves when we you will practice. So for today, just try and get a feel for the moves." Beatrix says. "If you have any questions I'll be at my desk watching Shogun Assassin with B.B. on my laptop."

The cafeteria smells vaguely of the sea. It even feels like it's rocking back and forth, like it was on a boat. Das Schnitzel comes into the cafeteria dressed like a pirate wench. The Chef follows behind her, also dressed piratey. But he also has two eye patches on. With a yell of "BOOOORK!" he runs into a wall and falls down. Das Schnitzel rolls her eyes. The Chef gets up and looks in what he thinks is Das Schnitzel's general direction. He's actually facing a stuffed moose head.

"Hoo du zeese-a puretes du it? I cun't see-a a theeng! "

The stuffed moose head just "bahhs" or whatever the sound a moose makes is. Das Schnitzel leads the Chef to the front of the food line.

Study Hall -- Thursday, October 6th

[principalconnor.livejournal.com]

Sarah doesn't bother announcing the study hall or the announcements. She is leaning back in her desk chair, chain-smoking cigarettes while she nurses a cup of hot black coffee and occasionally rocks back and forth in the chair. She's wearing dark sunglasses and her hair is a mess. Every once in a while, she stops moving, and it's entirely possible she's napping.

There's a large bowl of marbles on the desk in front of her. If anybody pisses her off or annoys her, she may or may not peg a marble at their head, depending on whether or not she gives enough of a shit.

I know your minds are probably on the upcoming extracurricular events, I know mine are, so I’ll try not to overload your systems too much.

The Joys of Being a Newspaper Editor [locked to the newspaper folks]

[mycanonhatesme]

In the Journalism classroom, it's a little quieter than usual, simply from the lack of students. The coffee machine is perkolating away, ready for the thorough use it's going to get, and Chloe is sitting surrounded by papers and video tapes, sorting excitedly through all of the election notes she's made over the past few days.

Quantum Physics 305: Thursday 6 October

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[There is a sign on the door to the Doctor's classroom.]

Class is cancelled for this week. However, I would like to have a 200 word, typewritten paper from each of you by next week's class, on the following topic:

Does science indicate the presence of a space that intersects multiple universes? Relate this to personal experience--Fandom High, after all, seems to be indicative of this kind of space--or primary sources, if possible. Tell me what YOU think as well as what you can find out in a book or on the Internet. Extra credit to the student who finds makes Julian Sark go to my class next week.

You may use class time to work on this.

Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable Homecoming. I'll be in my bunk.

-The Doctor

Fashion baby, fashion.

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

Alright kids,

Don't let anybody tell you Beeblebrox doesn't know a good time. In lieu of the events coming up this weekend, and the fact that I have my own 'extracurriculars', this week's class is canceled, and those of you who haven't turned in an assignment yet have an extra week to do so. I've got no projects from half the class, and while that probably makes Ms. Gilmore breathe a bit easier, it makes me...well, I don't care quite enough to be angry, but I am mildly discomforted.


Have a good weekend. Remember, wrap those rascals. Or whatever term your particular species uses for male sex organ. We don't need tiny versions of you psychos running around plot bunny!. Or even worse...mpreg. *shudders* Zaphod doesn't do mpreg except that one time with Ford, and sweet jesus ouch.

EDIT: And this coming thursday, you can all stop holding your breath in suspense. I'll announce the winning costume at the start of next week's class. There might be streamers.

Important Announcement!

[iwasawesome.livejournal.com]

Hey kids, Lilly Kane here, and it's the time you've all been waiting for- Homecoming King and Queen elections!

Now, I'm sure you're all terribly, terribly full of Student Council election problems and issues, and I understand completley- but, honestly, this is much more fun.

Here's the deal- every student and teacher gets one vote. Votes from townies? Nope. Votes from anyone else? Hell no.

(And just remember- Rover and I? Totally the hottest couple going. I'm just saying.)



Now go VOTE!

OPEN MIC STUDENT COUNCIL QUORUM

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

((OOC: let the games begin. GO! (edit: Bingo Cards are done! Yay! Now go play.)) (second edit: This will be open for discussion until 10pm US CST, Friday, 10/7. If you want to chime in, do it before then. After that time, comments will be locked.)

"Hello and welcome to the Open Mic Student Council Quorum. This is going to be a cross between a Crossfire event, a debate, and a party. We want you to get to know your Student Council candidates - all of them - better. A lot better. To that purpose, we've invited all of them here tonight. However, as this was not a mandatory event, we don't have a roster yet of who will show up. Feel free to write your questions in, we'll make sure they all get them whether they show tonight or not.

Here's how tonight is going to work:

1) Each Student Council Candidate will be asked 5 questions from the quorum directors (that's us), and they will have 1 minute to answer the question to the best of their ability. We'll be keeping score and awarding points for how accurately each question is answered, as well as style and delivery. At the end of the night, the representative with the most points will win a prize.

2) When the 5 questions have been answered, the floor will be opened to the audience for the Crossfire section - to ask the Candidates anything they want. HOWEVER, the questions must be on topic. Questions phrased with vulgar or offensive language, or questions about personal lifestyle choices or habits will be striken - and the asker will be asked to leave. So phrase your questions carefully. We're here to learn things and have fun.

3) The Candidates may ask each other questions in the Crossfire section. Feel free to go head to head over your issues. Well, verbally, anyway.

4) I mentioned fun, and to that effect, we have Buzzword Bingo going. Each of you was handed a set of Buzzword Bingo Cards and a pencil as you entered. Here's how it works: Each card has the name of a Candidate on it, and many, many buzzwords pulled directly from the debate last night. When you note any Candidate using a buzzword in any of their answers, tick it off on their Bingo Card. The first player to declare a Bingo wins a doorprize. The first player to get Bingos on more than five cards gets the grand prize.

The Prizes:
Single Card Bingo: First 12 people will each win 1lb boxes of chocolates from Wonka's Sweet Shop
Two Card Bingo: First person to get one wins a $15 gift certificate to Deb's Diner and Retro Store
Three Card Bingo: First person to get one wins a $30 gift certificate to Deb's Diner and Retro Store
Four Card Bingo: First person to get one wins a $50 gift certificate to The Emporium
Grand Prize: a $100 gift certificate to Red's Tattoos

Starting a Small Business

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

[ooc: sorry for the late post, mun hit happy hour tonight!]


Okay gang... here's the current roster for the class and what type of business you're doing.

( Current Roster )

Tonight's in class project is to come up with a name for your business. Now remember, your name is the first impression a customer is going to get of your company and can be a very important branding/marketing tool.

For example, the Inn that I own is called the Dragonfly Inn. We use the image of a dragonfly in our logo and on many products we sell.

I'd like you to take these papers home and read them for next week's class. They're about different ways of getting financing for a business. We're going to start dealing with budgets next week.

Make sure you sign the attendance sheet.

Thursday - Music 101

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

MUSIC 101

[OOC: This week, just drop a comment in the attendence thread that you showed up. You've got until the next class is posted to do that. No discussion necessary this week, but feel free to chat if you'd like!]



Greetings, my excellent little student dudes, babes and other students of the non-dude/babe persuasion!

I know you're all totally excited about Homecoming, so this week we're gonna do music from 80s movies. But first, now that I'm, like, a teacher and stuff, I feel like I should say something about what you're gonna get up to this weekend.

Now, I don't wanna sound cheesy or nothing, but most excellent dudes and most bodacious babes, if you're gonna get horizontal and do the nasty, make sure you're safe when you do it! That means no going up on the roof or trying it in the storage closet near Dean Bristow's office.

Okay? Okay. Excellent! *air guitar* *hands out junk food*

Now, music dudes. Music is most excellent. Movies are most excellent. When you combine music and movies, you get something that is most most excellent.. *pauses to think for a second* excellent! Today we're gonna look at some of the greatest movies of not only the 80s, but of ALL TIME.

1. Top Gun
There was so so very much more to this movie than Tom Cruise's sunglasses and lack of chest hair, dudes. You've got... *thinks and counts on his fingers as he lists them off* Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone, Jerry Lee Lewis with Great Balls of Fire and for those babes in the audience, or the dudes who like your music on a more sappy gooier side, you've got Berlin's Take My Breath Away and The Righteous Brothers' You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. And little dudes, karaoke totally woos the babes.

*screens the bar karaoke wooing scene on the wall-sized projector TV screen that he totally doesn't use to watch porn watch music videos*


2. Back To The Future
A most triumphant time travelling adventure. But who needs a car when you can just use a phone booth? Now, we're not talking about the score here, even though it is a totally excellent one. This movie has Huey Lewis and the News. That's its biggest draw card, dudes. Top songs include The Power of Love, Back In Time and Johnny B. Goode. Johnny B. Goode has THE most excellent solo ever. EVER.

*screens the scene at the dance where Marty plays Johnny B. Goode and ends with "...but your kids are gonna love it."*


3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Now this movie did NOT have an official soundtrack, which was totally bogus. But it has some of the greatest pre-80s and 80s music of all time.. up to the 80s! Wait, no, even after the 80s. Sorry more contemporary Earth dudes, but your hip hop and funky rad rap stuff sucks. You may recognize this movie from its most addictive dance mix of "Oh Yeah", which I have been told is also the Duff Beer theme song! Excellent. This movie also has a flashback to one of the ancient times of rock and we should always remember where we came from.

*screens the parade scene where Ferris is dancing and lip-synching to Twist and Shout*


Anyway dudes, what I'm trying to tell you is that movies totally wouldn't be the same without music. We'll talk about instrumental scores another time like never, because I really don't care unless there's a loud guitar involved, but without the rockin' modern-type music with lyrics and guitars and stuff, the movies would totally suck! So remember. Music is important. You can't watch movies without it. And if you can't watch movies without it, you can't do much at all without it! That's the problem with life, dudes. There's no soundtrack.

So my advice, from the sage type teacher Professor Ted dude to your ears: never go anywhere without headphones!

No homework this week. See you all at Homecoming, and if you see my date Johnina, can you, like, tell her to call me?

Class dismissed.. and party on, dudes!

Thursday - Band Practice

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

[OOC: I live in a funky time zone, so when you folks are all awake - US, UK, whatever, I'm asleep. So these classes are posted together and thrown out when I can get to it on a Thursday. Sometimes it'll be late. Sometimes it'll be early. You've got until the next post for this class is sent out next week to comment to show that you attended. Participation is much more fun though :D]


The remnants of Music 101 trickle out. Ted picks up his guitar, plugs it into the amp and cranks up the volume, deciding to get a little jamming in between classes. "HEY, LITTLE DUDES!" he shouts over the music as some of the students come in. "Uh, YOU KNOW THE DRILL!" He does an awesome freeform solo that results in one of the amps being kicked over. "Uh, yeah." Ted picks himself up and pushes back his way too long hair. It ends up falling over his eyes anyway. He tilts his head up and peers through the mop of hair.

"Today, I want you to get out the instruments. Hyper Drummer Dudette has got everything out. Your job, should you choose to accept it - and, um, I really hope you do, otherwise I'm gonna have to do the 'teacher' thing and you dudes know how I hate that - is to grab your gear, find a room to practice in and start getting a feel for the band. When you're done, bring the equipment back here and you get a special made Band Practice showbag, dudes! I made them myself." It's not hard to figure out that Ted spent more time making the junk food/party toy showbags than he did planning the actual lesson.

[OOC: Really, pack up and go find a part of the school to practice in. Let's see who you can harass with the really mediocre music :D Someone - anyone - can pick a nice basic song to mess around with just to get people playing and figuring out who can do what. Ted will wander in at some stage. Again, this is slow-played, so you've got all week.]
