Choose Your Own Government--Monday--Period 5--Class # 14

[spacepiratevala.livejournal.com]

"Hello, my class, and thank you very much for your patience with my absence last week," Vala said, as soon as everyone was seated and paying as much attention as she figured they were going to. "Thank you also for not giving Evey a problem. I appreciate that very much, and to show my appreciation, the final next week is going to be a bit...different."

Mostly so she wouldn't have to grade it, but this was a good reason, too.

"As I'd mentioned previously, today we'll be discussing theocracies and religious oppression." There might have been a quick glance at Karal to see how he was doing with this before she continued. "If you're part of the majority religion, what are your reasons for limiting the practice of other religions? How far are you willing to go? If you're a member of a minority religion, what actions can you take to keep yourself, your family, and your community safe? How far should you take those actions? At what point is it worth it to give up the religion instead of fighting the majority?"

Maths For Real Life, Period 1, Class 14 [4/14]

"Congratulations," Jean-Paul said at the beginning of class. "You have survived my instruction thus far. As a result, I am giving you this week to review for your final next week. I am not going to tell you how to do that; it is up to you. I wish you all the best." Then he leaned back in his seat and said, "Do as you see fit for the rest of the period. If you have any questions, I am here."

Applied Inventiontronics, Period 4 - Week 14

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

Inventiontronics was in the Danger Shop today, and the Danger Shop looked like a generic field to one side and tall-treed forest to the other.

The guys standing in the field with long black trenchcoats weren't quite so generic, and a few had a bit of shiny metal armor covering one arm. Really, they were probably very hot in those outfits. That was Glitch's general theory as to their disposition.

Glitch, who was standing somewhere about the middle, waved everyone over for a quick explanation. Or, well, as quick an explanation as Glitch could give.

"Today, well, first, your projects are due next week." He let that sink in for a second or two before continuing. "This week, though, you're going to get to learn about defending yourself. With those," he pointed to the men in the severe outfits in the field, "longcoats over there. If you don't want to fight, though, you can head into the forest and deal with the anklebiters. That's probably more evasion than it is defense, but it's good to know if someone is chasing you to get at something you've invented."

It was a loose connection, but Glitch felt it was important and repeated it once before shooing them all off.

Library [04/14]

[likethegun]

With finals approaching, Sam was looking forward to the possibility of having more company in the library than his usual visitors.

Then he opened the doors and found the library full of tiny sheep.

This was not how he wanted his week to begin.

Criminal Justice (As Taught By A Criminal) - Period 3 - Monday 04/14

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool was trying very hard to ignore the weetiny sheep clinging to him right now. There was even one clinging to one of his knifes!

...

He was watching that one extra close.

But he had a job to do, darn it. "Good morning class--"

"Baaaaaaah."

Deadpool paused, waiting for them to be done. "--oooohkay. So today we'll be learning why televsion lies to use about forensic--"

"BAAAAAAAAAAH!"

He rubbed his forehead. "--Just enjoy the show, okay?"

"...baaaaah."

"Shut up! I will make wee little lambchops, okay? WEETINY LAMBCHOPS."

World Mythology - Monday, April 14th - 2nd Period

[atreideslioness]

Ghanima was not wearing her normal formal Imperial clothing.  Instead of her usual elaborate gown and hat, she was dressed in her Fremen robes, hair pulled back into a simple ponytail.  The classroom was also transformed, with large pillows taking the place of desks and chairs.

"Today, we're going to discuss what happens when myth becomes reality," she said, gesturing for the students to take seats on the pillows heaped around the room.  "As some of you may know, myth does not always stay detached from our day-to-day lives.  On occasion, myth becomes fact, fiction turns reality, and we are left with the aftermath of our gods and heroes." 

"This is not as theoretical as you think.  In Fandom alone, anything is possible, and many of us are from worlds where that it has already happened at least once," Ghanima said.  "So, what do we do when faced with such an event?  How do we reconcile the merge of two previously incompatible worlds?"


[OOC: Wait for the OCD is up and ready for action!!!  Have fun!]

Interactive Religion [Tuesday, April 15]

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Biff got halfway through his opening sentence of "Today we're going to talk about--" when lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone out from him, and his hair looked like a shampoo ad.

And Biff was sore annoyed.

"Azriel?"

The blonde man in the dress robes nodded his head placidly.

"I'm kind of in the middle of something," Biff said testily.

Azriel looked confused. It was not an uncommon expression for him. "The Son said to see you immediately."

"When did he say that?" Biff asked.

"...March?" Azriel replied.

Biff restrained himself from beating either himself or the angel. "Well, you're here now," he grumbled. "In my classroom. Terrifying my students." He waved his hand towards the angel. "Class, meet Azriel, former angel of death, current pain in my ass. Every dumb blond joke in the world started because of this guy."

Azriel gave him a sour look that disappeared almost immediately. "I would be happy to answer your questions," he said.
