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.

Speculation, bets and all other tomfoolery goes here.

_{Is there a goat? or a car?}

Just don't ask what's in his pockets.

*chants* No whammies! No whammies! Big money!

RHI: I WANT A GOAT!

...I have no idea where that came from.

TEN: It's the product of a deranged mind, I assure you.

*gigggling* Love the tatts, man...

Bwah!

Yay, goat!

No puppy dog eyes, but strangely charming anyhow.

...oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die?

I am a leaf on the wind!

Hee! Exactly.

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

...I don't think he can cut off anything that won't grow back.

That's a very good point. But the arena for mental trauma is wiiiiide open.

Just out of curiousity (and a need to plan the rest of Chloe's day...I think Jake's OCD is rubbing off on me), how long with the students be...occupied with their prizes?

The prizes themselves take little time. Two minutes, tops, I think. They're all perfectly portable and none of them are going to explode. Most of you won't be thanking me or Spider for them, however... although you never know.

Haha! Yes, I suppose you never know. *g* Thanks.

They're all perfectly portable and none of them are going to explode.

Are any of them alive, undead, or otherwise independently mobile?

... and is it bigger than a breadbox?

Are any of them vampire puppies?

Suddenly, I have a very, very bad feeling that no matter which selection was made, every one is going to be dealing with some sort of animal.

Please no! Angela is already babysitting a muppet chicken, and she's supposed to get a cat this weekend. And her roommate is having a baby.

Room #304: When we say "this place is a zoo," we mean it.

*giggles* Poor Angela (one way or the other)!
