Ethics & Etiquette - 1st Period - 7/6

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

The main campfire may not have seemed like the best place to learn about etiqutte, but that's where you'd be proven very wrong. Because Captain America said so. And he's physically incapable of lying.

True story.

Removed it before they super soldiered him up.

"Gooooood morning Vietnam! Deadpool in the hizzy!" Please. Someone make him stop watching Cribs. PLEASE.

Steve--who could lie, and simply chose not to whenever possible, no matter what Deadpool told anyone--kept a wary sidelong eye on Deadpool for a moment, then turned to the class and said, "It's probably for the best if you ignore him. So, hi, I'm Steve Rogers, and I used to be Captain America. And he's Deadpool."

"And I didn't used to be Captain America," Deadpool added helpfully. "Not shiny enough. I like cotton, not the weird space age fabric everyone's favorite drunk Tony Stark is tossin' around these days."

"And you're Canadian." And insane. "But that's not the point."

At least he didn't shimmer. "He's right! The point is, that--what is the point again?"

"The point is that this is a workshop on ethics and etiquette. And we're your teachers," Steve said, addressing the students again. "We'll be presenting opposing viewpoints on how to behave in certain situations, and you can decide for yourselves who's correct."

"Me," Deadpool said, raising his hand in the air. "Totally me, bee tea double ewe. But first we'll need to get to know you all. Getting to knooow yooou. Getting to know allll abooouut yooou!"

Steve cast him another wary look, then told the class, "By which my...esteemed colleague means introductions. Name, class, and where and when you're from. Pretty basic, right?"

"But they'll be doing that all week," Deadpool whined. "How about we do something fun? You all hafta sing it. And make us feel the emotion. He may be a less coked up Paula, but I'm the Canadian, husky voiced Simon. So, make it good."

"I have no idea what he just said, but I'm willing to go with it," Steve said. Possibly because arguing with Deadpool was bad for one's sanity. "You have to phrase your introductions in the form of a song."

Deadpool frowned at him. "You need to watch more TV, man."

SING. SING A SOOOOONG!

Elle just stared. "Do I seriously have to sing?"

"Preeeetty much," Deadpool replied cheerfully. "I'm thinking maybe a Calypso beat?"

Bobby managed to fight off the urge to sing his introduction to the tune of 'Frosty the Snowman'. Nobody would've gotten it anyway, right?

So instead he used the second thing that came to mind, the Galaxy Quest opening theme music, to tell everyone the important information: Bobby Drake, sophomore, New York, and 2009 thank you sliding timescales.

Riiiiiight.

Deadpool just grinned in a positively cruel way. Thank god for the mask hiding most of it. "Weeeeell. Bobby Drake, huh? Are we gonna get some snooty blond here next?"

Re: Introductions

There would be no singing.

"Rose Hathaway.

Seventeen. Female.

St Vladmir's Montana America.

Senior. Summer.

Guardian."

It was a cinquain, dammit.

"Do you take requests? Maybe a lil' King of Pop? Too soon? Anyone? Too soon?"

Ellie was trying to think of something to to sing her introduction to the tune of for a moment before deciding on the theme from ER her favorite medical drama. It was still fairly fresh when she was from after all.

The facts she sang? Ellie Bartowski, junior, LA area, 1996.

"I always hated that show. George Clooney was just so smug." Really, Deadpool? Really? "Try that like you're singing from a Broadway musical instead. I think that would work better."

Zack was not pouting. He wasn't. Much.

"I don't know any music from this world," he whined pointed out. "Is it okay if I sing something from my own?"

Re: Introductions

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool considered that. "As long as it doesn't end in howling, sure."

Re: Introductions

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

Diana froze for a very long minute before beginning to sing. "Di-A-na Ha-a-a-a-nnsen. Juuuuu - " She hit a very high note there. "-nior. Um...from Ca-na-da." It was all very off key.

Re: Introductions

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Deadpool was honestly surprised Zack wasn't wincing. Or singing along now.

"You shoulda gone for the patriotic theme. Sung to to 'Oh Canada', ya know?"

Re: Introductions

[ihaveniceteeth.livejournal.com]

Gwen sang the pertinent information: Gwen Cooper, senior, from Wales, that's the country not the mammal, to the tune of an incredibly filthy drinking song Jack taught the team that one time.

Re: Introductions

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Okay, Joan could so do this.

To the tune of the Alphabet Song, thankyouverymuch.

"Joan Gir-ar-di, junior class. From Mar-y-land (yes-I-am-bor-ing). Two thousand nine."

It... sorta worked.

Re: Introductions

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Oh god, singing. No.

"I don't really want to sing so just imagine Professor Deadpool singing since we look alike sometimes," he tried. "Hannibal King. Seventeen. I'm not related to Professor Deadpool or from his universe or anything like that. I'm from all over around the late nineties or so."

Oddly enough, the first song that came to Eva's mind to sing to was the 2-Pac song, "California Love". It had come out last year back home, but it was just getting big when she left.

So instead of the repeated:
Califoria
Knows how to party
California
Knows how to party

She went with:
Eva Rodriguez
Came from Boston
'96; Junior class
I know how to party

She tweaked the melody a bit to make it work, and the last line wasn't necessary, but it made her smile to add it.

Singing. Really?

Angela cleared her throat briefly before throwing herself into a brief rendition of the "Angela Montenegro, seventeen, DC 1995" basic information to a tune that sounded suspiciously like something by Madonna.

Wasn't even too shabby. She'd grown up around musicians, it shouldn't be entirely surprising she'd picked up a few things in all that time.

Oh, Tara hated this. Everything about her bearing communicated how very much she hated this.

So it might have been surprising that the voice that came out of her mouth was a lovely, flexible soprano. For some strange meta reason, she picked a tune from a musical about a sweet transvestite from transexual Transylvania.

"T-t-t-t-Tara
M-m-maclaaaaay
California and noooooow
This is sophomore yeaaaaaar."

That done, Tara swallowed, hard, and sat back down.

It might be her turn? But Elle was pointedly looking down, searching for something in her purse she wasn't really searching for.

Singing in the shower was totally different than singing in front of a bunch of people she didn't know omigod.

Jon had to actually think up a few bars of something that would fit. And just went with singing his information to the tune of 'Run Through The Jungle'.

Jon O'Neill, Junior, Colorado Springs, 2004.

Well, if he wanted her to sing, Agnes would BRING IT.

Agnes picked a beautiful aria from an opera from her world -- one which she'd sung professionally -- and sung it loudly and clearly.

"My name is Agnes Nitt, and I am a senior, and I am a witch from the town of Lancre, in the country of Lancre, in the Ramtop Mountains, on a world called the Disc!"

The last note was a low one, and she held it as long as she could. The ground trembled, and the logs in the campfire sprouted green shoots and then burst into bloom.

Raven did not sing. Well, she tried, but it was barely above a whisper, and had no emotion at all. It might have vaguely been to the tune of the chorus of Evanescence's biggest hit because I'm a huge dork.

"I am Rachel Roth, in the sophomore class. I am from a place called Azarath."

Re: Introductions

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"I am A-dor-a!" She sang, hoping that her voice wasn't terribly out of tune. She knew a really good song introduction, but it happened to give away her fabulous secret, so she had to make up her own. "Princess of E-ter-ni-a! That's a whoooole other pla-net!"

Esme was just going to sit here and glare. A lot. There would be absolutely no singing. None. Ever. She'd make someone else sing.
