fandomhigh | Journalism Class - Friday October 14

Spider is wearing a broad grin as his students file in this morning. The side wall of the classroom has been mocked up to look like a stage with two large doors, each bearing a number, and a curtain at the end. The cat is playing with something that is making helpless and panicked 'ribbit' noises beneath the edge of the curtain, and Spider himself is sitting atop his desk, legs crossed.

"Good morning, students!" He greets the class cheerfully. "As no one saw fit to come up with a project for Parent's Weekend as of yet, I thought that today would be Student Appreciation Day. One of the other faculty left the television on in the lounge the other day and I saw a show which I thought it might be fun to emulate."

Spider gestured toward the stage. "Every student gets to pick. You may choose Door Number One, Door Number Two or pick, instead, what's behind the curtain. Everyone gets a prize of some sort and a good time will be had by me all. Really."

Still grinning broadly, he lit up a cigarette and propped his chin in one hand. "Who'll be first, then?"

Behind Door Number One
Behind Door Number Two
Behind The Curtain

NOTE: There was nothing said about not being able to trade your prize for a different one or sharing your prize with your classmates (save what's behind door number one, which can't be shared, really).

Please Post Reactions Here

OOC: There will be threads posted for each choice. Comment in the appropriate thread. At the end of the day, (so that people can't choose once the answers have been leaked) three links will appear here, each to a locked post in Spider's journal, the results filtered solely to the students who chose each option. Reactions, arguments, 'wtf-ing' and the rest will please take place here in this entry, not the filtered posts. Have fun guessing what Spider might consider a marvelous prize for his students.

Really, really not liking the sounds that are coming from behind the curtain, Chloe chooses the second door.

*gigggling* Love the tatts, man...

Door number one seems safest.

Bwah!

_{But I don't want to explode!}

George notices Phoebe casting glances over her shoulder every few moments. She looks over her own should and turns back around with a furrowed brow? What the hell?

Scanning the class, Duce takes the choice that will bring her as far away from contact with Jake as humanly allowed, and stands by the curtain.

Phoebe catches George's look and mouths "stalker".

Rory stops in briefly before heading home for the weekend (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rory__gilmore/16494.html), because the last thing she needs is to ditch Journalism and get in more trouble. She studiously avoids looking at Jake.

[ooc: Yeah, probably.]

_{Yeah, I will. So... Let's go be bad guys!}

_{Every heist, he's gotta start yellin' my name...}

Beka leans in the doorframe, studying the options. There's nothing to distinguish them outwardly. "Avoiding one unknown fate in favor of other unknown fates is pointless speculation." She inclines her head toward Door Number One. "I'll take this one." Then she steps into the classroom to take her seat.

As an afterthought, she adds, "We should do a brochure or a booklet for the parents, like the enrollment one, but with our pictures and success stories from the year. Like Rover and Cally for Homecoming King and Queen. Highlights from the debates. Things that will show the students coming together."

George raises her brows, surprised. Stalker, huh? she thinks. Thought that was what Jayne was for.

Phoebe looks around and hands George the note she had gotten earlier.

The card reads:

Phoebe, why are you being such a stubborn little witch? Does his safety mean nothing to you? What about your own?

A Friend

After choosing her poison, Beka prowls the classroom as if searching for something she hopes she won't find. Apparently, she's pleased by the results, for she gives a small tight smile and a grim nod. She takes a seat that gives her a clear view of all entrances to the room, then opens her Flexis and starts to ~~pretends to~~ read.

Phoebe smiles faintly at Beka. "Can we talk later?"

Yay, goat!

No puppy dog eyes, but strangely charming anyhow.

Deciding two frogs are enough for any girl and that the B-side is sometimes more interesting, D'anna selects door number two.

*tilts head, considering the choices*

This sOUnds LIke sOmetHing the DOctoR sAid in His cLass. Am I ALloWed tO be THree of ME And ChOosE all THe dOors, or iS THat agAinst the RUles stiLl?

Beka nods. "Damn right we can." There's no particular heat in her tone, but it's clear that she is not happy about something.

George held her breath for a moment after reading the card. She jotted down a quick message on her notebook and angled it so Phoebe could read.

This refers to Jayne?
