Law and Order: Interdimensional Edition - Week Three

[samnotmax.livejournal.com]

This week, the anthropomorphic six-foot-tall dog and the small feral lagomorph were going to teach the class. Which was in no way a horrible, terrible idea that was going to end in bloodshed and/or tragedy.

Sam and Max stood at the front of the room, patiently waiting for the students to arrive and sit down. They had note cards and everything. On the blackboard, they had written:

Violence in Police Work: When Is It Appropriate?

"Welcome, junior detectives!" Sam said, clasping his hands together excitedly. "Max and I are just thrilled to see the future of law enforcement as represented by your bright, shining faces. The cops of tomorrow have all sorts of challenges ahead of them. Probably solving crimes that involve hovercrafts! Won't that be something, kids?"

"I like hovercrafts!" Max announced. "I like to fill them with electric eels and then set them on fire! But only when I'm NOT on duty, because I'm a paragon of responsible law enforcement."

"Of course," Sam said brightly. "We take our duties very seriously. Kids, your friend Mr. Gibbs has asked us to come in here today and talk about a topic that is very close to my heart. And that topic is ..." He gestured towards the blackboard as if it held the key to the secrets of the universe. "Violence In Police Work. When Is It Appropriate?"

Max turned to Sam and, very obviously reading off his note cards in a stilted sort of manner, asked "Hey, Sam? I was wondering: violence in police work: when is it appropriate?"

"I'm glad you asked, Max!" Sam was not any better at sounding natural than Max was. "The answer may surprise you. Can anyone guess?"

Max jumped up and down and waved his cute, fuzzy little hand. "OOH! OOH! Pick me! PICK ME!!!!"

"Yes, Max?" Sam was totally surprised to be picking Max for the answer. This wasn't at all on their cue cards or anything.

Max grinned. He didn't need the cue cards for this part. "Violence is ALWAYS appropriate in police work!!! There's never NOT a good time to get violent."

"That's right!" Sam tossed his cards over one shoulderl. "Kids, violence is a great addition to any law enforcement agency. Nothing gets a lawbreaker's attention like firing wildly a few inches above his head!"

"Or, a few inches BELOW his head," Max added.

"Whatever works," Sam agreed. "Violence is a wonderful motivator. If your suspect is in enough pain, he'll agree to just about anything. Talk about an easy confession!"

Max nodded. "Just remember, folks, everyone is guilty of SOMETHING. It might as well be whatever it is you arrested them for."

Like you're wondering what the hell Gibbs was thinking, inviting these two.

No, really. What the hell!?

Now, keep in mind that Jaina came from a group of people who thought nothing of slicing off arms and going about their business.

And yeah, she wasn't sure she so much agreed with this lecture? For some strange reason.

Dinah enjoyed violence as much as the next aspiring crimefighter. But these guys... um. Yeah.

Anemone was this close to bouncing in her seat and cheering them on. This was the best class ever!

Ben was sliding slowly down in his chair and trying to hide behind his hands, shooting the occasional look towards Gibbs.

Hoshi gawked from time to time, but she did take notes anyway.

"AH?!" Momoko's first instinct when she saw who was teaching today was to turn and run. Despite the likelihood of being ARRESTED for leaving before the bell, she did turn back towards the door, but her path was blocked by a small brown and white... thing of furry cuteness.

So she was at her desk, alternately taking notes and feeding animal crackers from her bookbag to the cute animal thing sitting on her lap.

One of her teachers was sitting next to her, blinking up at her with big eyes almost as cute and adorable as the furry creature on her lap. "Nom? Nommmm?"

See what they have to say! If they are not struck dumb by the sheer brilliance that is Sam and Max's class!

Class Activity: Pair Up and Interrogate Each Other [L&O Week Three]

[samnotmax.livejournal.com]

It's time for you to practice your interrogation skills. Find a partner! Tie that partner up with duct tape or electrical cords! Beat him or her with a nerf bat until you get a confession! It's police-tastic!

... Okay, you don't actually have to tie each other up (spoilsports) but feel free to bop your suspect liberally with the provided nerf bats. (So long as you have OOC permission, naturally.) How else are you going to get a confession?

Ben looked for a partner.

He wouldn't be using the nerf bat.

Beka was frowning as she approached Ben. "Those two are cracked," she said under her breath.

Dinah had a nerf bat, but she was gently, hypnotically bopping the surface of her desk with it, just watching the bounce height. It'd be easy to take away from her, if not keep.

Max sighed. "No, no, no, you're doing it all wrong. You've got to swing from the SHOULDER, not the wrist -- put your whole arm into it. If you don't smack the desk around, how is it ever going to LEARN???"

Momoko tried to headdesk, but the cute furry thing (now sporting a cute pink bow above the ear) kept catching her head before she could THONK, so she gave up and went to examine her choices for 'skills' and look about for a suspect.

She was fairly sure that Professor Cabot would have something to say about the way these confessions were gotten.

Class Activity: Free-for-All Interrogation! [L&O Week Three]

[samnotmax.livejournal.com]

After you've taken turns interrogating each other, it's time for an InterrogationFest! Take your nerf bat and chase down the hapless suspects! Hunt down the lawbreakers! Smack them into submission! Get them to confess to whatever you can think up! Run, kids, run!

The student who beats the most interrogations out of their classmates will be declared the winner* and will receive a nifty prize**!!!!!!!

*This could happen, maybe
**This won't

Talk to the TAs [L&O Week Three]

[samnotmax.livejournal.com]

Tell them to confess already. They're guilty! They know they are!

Re: Talk to the TAs [L&O Week Three]

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah has nothing to confess. Really. Really!

... And she really needs to get an alibi for a week ago Tuesday.

Re: Talk to the TAs [L&O Week Three]

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Beka had naught to confess, except that she wasn't certain about their approaches. Mayhap they'd work best as Cage Dogs.

They're probably just happy the Danger Shop wouldn't let Sam and Max give you guys guns.

Ziva was fairly certain that she'd earn herself a headslap if she laughed too much, but as a...slightly violent person, she enjoyed this topic quite a bit.

OOC [L&O Week Three]

[samnotmax.livejournal.com]

We nearly had you guys write up your collected confessions to turn in for next week. In fact, feel free to do that if you'd like.
