Parent's Weekend: Slartibartfast has "Open Office". Saturday morning.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

The frogs are practising in the nets at the far end of the kitchen/classroom. The professor has readied his room for any visitors who might turn up. He has a small handful of notes about each of his students, so that he can bring parents, guardians and/or minders up to date about the progress of their charges. He has some light refreshments laid out on the table -- small squares of pizza, little bowls of pasta salad, bread sticks, a crate of cheap Italian white and a number of paper plates and plastic glasses. One of the glasses is full of plastic forks, another with paper serviettes. The professor himself is sat enjoying a glass of white and a piece of garlic bread. All is right with the world.

Until two mice -- small white mice carrying rather smaller brown suitcases -- point their twitching little white noses around his door.

He's in here. Look at him, sat on his fat Magrathean behind working his way through the European snack food mountain. I'll tell you something, Benjy, it gives me the heebie jeebies.

I know what you mean, Frankie. We'll give him such a talking to. I bet he hasn't worked on any planetary design for weeks.

They scurry over to near where the professor is sitting.

Oi, Slartibartfast! I hope you've been spending your time here at school productively.

The professor looks down, spots the mice, leaps up to stand on his chair, and screams.

(OOC - That's how the first visitor will find him. Mun is around intermittently during the day (UK time), but will be going out around 6pm for his cousin's birthday. EDIT: now out. There will be another post on Sunday.)

Criminal Justice Open Classroom, Saturday

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The Tick is at his desk, ready to greet any parent, sibling, guardian, cousin, uncle, aunt, grandparent, employer, mentor, pet, or anybody else who could roughly be defined as "family" of his students. He is wearing a tie. The Tick recognizes that he looks a little different from the other teachers around here, so he bought what he will assure anyone is a hypnotic tie that makes people ignore the fact that he is a very large man in blue tights with antennae sticking out of his head.

For the record, the tie is not actually hypnotic.

"Students! Parents and/or other assorted family of students! I welcome you to Criminal Justice! I am Professor Tick, and I teach!"

[OOC: Massive apologies to anyone attempting to interact with me in here. SBC chose today to have issues all over the area. I will be here all day, though, unless Tick sees something really shiny.]

Speech Comm Classroom

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[She leans back in her chair, her feet up on her desk, legs crossed at the ankle. Today she's dressed in a light grey skirt suit with a pale pink blouse. She reads in between parents. On her door is posted an invitation]

( Parents of the following students are invited to come talk to CJ Cregg about their progress in Speech Comm. )

Padme's Special One Time Weekend Hours

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Padme thought it a good idea to hold some weekend hours for the purpose of meeting any parents who might wantto talk to her. She wouldn't seek anyone out on purpose, but there were certain parents she really hoped would talk to her. Others she wanted to avoid completely

Business Classroom

[msgilmoredanes.livejournal.com]

Lorelai is sitting at her desk, drinking an enormous cup of coffee.

She doesn't know if any parents will want to stop by, but decides she should be on campus, just in case.



[ETA OOC: Mun is afk for a few hours - however, is more than glad to slow time any more parent meets.]

Celtic Studies Open Classroom, Saturday

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

The Celtic Studies classroom has been transformed. Various clan tartans are hanging everywhere, there are several large posters entirely in Gaelic, and the moose is looking very rakish with a tam pulled rather haphazardly down over one eye. The radio is buried somewhere, playing music that consisted mainly of badhran and reedy voices. The Arthurian timeline is displayed at the front of the class, as well as the storybook of Celtic literature. A stack of books - copies of the stories - is at the corner of his desk, ready for someone to borrow.

Camulus is sitting behind the desk with his feet up, once again enjoying Entertainment Weekly.

Open Classroom: Quantum Physics

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[Against his better judgement, the Doctor decides to hold open classroom hours all Saturday morning ((FST)). He's never done parent-teacher conferences before--at least not on this side of the table. That and the fact that there's another version of him running about makes him appear slightly on edge. He's trying to read, but can't seem to get past one page.

The sense of something being wrong is running very, very high this morning.

His door is open. And there is food and coffee and tea for those who visit, provided he doesn't compulsively eat it all.]


((Assume that if the door is closed, the discussion is NFB. However, anyone can see who enters and exits the room. This scene will be played until 3 PM EST, at which point things go to slowplay. The mun's trying to start shooting on a film project...god knows what will happen.))

Western Literature and Poetry: Open Classroom

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Professor Chaucer's classroom is open for any students, parents, or random droppers-by who'd like to visit. He'll be in all day, and if no one stops in -- well, it's a good quiet place to catch up on some work for his new patron.


[OOC: Will be slow-played until 8:00PM EDT.]


EDITED: It's been announced that the deadline for drop/add is Tuesday. Enrollment is still open for Introduction to Western Literature until that time. Any interested students can sign up here.

Open Classroom: Journalism

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Sometime early morning on Saturday, Krycek reached the Journalism classroom to open it for students and parents to visit.

Around the room are several projects with attention grabbing posters and fliers.

Say Yes to Body Art! [Warning: Some disturbing imagery]

Say Yes to Unprotected Sex!

Say Yes to Vampires!

Say Yes to Student Government Accountability!

Say Yes to Celine Dion!

Say Yes to Smoking! [Warning: Also disturbing, maybe.]

The large screens up at the head of the class are set up to display various images, some of them of the students during classtime, some of them current news footage - all are turned to a very low volume so as to allow conversation at reasonable levels.

Then he sits down at his group's project to wait, occasionally thwapping candy teeth into submission.

[ooc: You may want to have a member of your group comment below if they are sitting with your project in order to answer questions. Also, if you have an updated link or one you'd rather have linked to for your project, please let me know.]

Languages Open Classroom

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream is in his offices.

He will be pleased to speak to the parents or guardians of any of his students. He has even set out coffee, chocolates, and crackers for their enjoyment.

Duncan makes a point of being at the gym, in case any parents have questions or concerns. He has apple cider in his huge mug instead of the usual coffee.
