Living With Difficult Women [Tuesday, Period 5]

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

With his high level of expertise on the subject, Max hadn't really prepped for class today, or even looked at the class roster. He'd planned to simply launch into an introduction of the topic and outline the goals for the class. He walked in, smiled at his gathered students, and froze.

There were difficult women in his class. Difficult women that he had not brought in to use as examples. He wasn't sure that revealing to them the secret techniques used to make living with them possible would be all that good an idea. After all, as difficult women they were sure to use their knowledge of such techniques to counter them, and make life more difficult for everyone involved.

So, obviously, Max needed a plan. There had to be a way to deal with this problem, after all. Unfortunately he wasn't quick enough on his feet to come up with one on the spot. Max needed a distraction. Max needed...

"That introduction thing. You all know how it works by now. Get to it. And I think that telling us why you're in this class would be helpful." How many of them were spies?

This is going to be an iiiinteresting class.

Introduce yourselves

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

Name, class, reason for being here. Max needs to know who he can trust.

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

He's here if you want to complain that you shouldn't even be here. Even if he does look a little off-balance.

OOC

As is his habit, Max will be recruiting TAs from the class next week or the week after. If you're interested feel free to let me know, though I might harrass you even if you aren't ;)

Arthur Pendragon

"I am Arthur Pendragon," Arthur started, more than a bit put off by all the women, himself. "I'm a senior, and I'm here because it looked to be useful, considering the women I know."

Put-off, and also without any sense of self-preservation. It was the way he rolled.

"Leia Organa, junior," Leia introduced herself. "I'm not sure why I was assigned to this class, unless it was my father's idea of a joke because of how I complain about my aunts."

Re: Introduce yourselves

"Hannibal King. Senior." Honestly, Hannibal didn't know how he'd gotten in this class because he lived with Angela and she wasn't at all difficult. "And I guess I'm here because knowing how to deal with possible future difficult situations in regards to girls is better than not knowing and ending up completely castrated."

Um.

"Metaphorically. Hopefully."

Re: Introduce yourselves

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

A man of Max's own heart. "That is the best reason I can think of to be in this class," Max nodded. He even tossed in a sympathetic look that pretty much said women.

Re: Introduce yourselves

As a woman, Leia was already suspect, but it sounded like she might have a decent reason in this case. "Are there any other difficult women you know or are related to?"

Re: Introduce yourselves

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Hope for the best, plan for the worst," Max nodded in approval. "Quite a wise approach."

Re: Introduce yourselves

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Uhhh, I'm Hurley, uhhh, Hugo Reyes. And I'm a senior. I'm honestly not sure why I'm here? I think there was some sort of paperwork error with my class registrations or something. I don't really have any difficult women in my life," he said.

That would come later in life.

Re: Introduce yourselves

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

Yet. Max didn't vocalize it, but his look said it for him. "Well, maybe you'll learn something that'll end up being useful later on for you."

Re: Introduce yourselves

[likes_scoundrels]

"My three aunts more than adequately cover 'difficult women,'" Leia said.

Re: Introduce yourselves

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"Fair enough," Max grinned. "Then I hope you learn some useful things here this semester."

Helen Haras-Uquara

Re: Introduce yourselves

Helen was stunned. Not only by the class, but by who was teaching it. Hair was definitely down covering her face.

"I am Helen Haras-Uquara. I am a junior and I am not supposed to be in this class. However, I am told it is not possible to switch, therefore..." her voice dropped off. "I am here."

Re: OOC

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen would be a bit horrified to be a TA, but I would be amused.

Re: Introduce yourselves

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"And you don't know any difficult women that this class might help you with?" Fortunately or unfortunately Max didn't seem all that perturbed by Helen's presence. It had been an honest mistake, after all!

Re: Introduce yourselves

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"Other than me?"

She shook her head. "I was raised by male priests."

Re: Introduce yourselves

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"And you've met no one here?" Because Max had encountered plenty of difficult women since his arrival in Fandom.
