DETENTION Saturday

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

ETA: Mun jst got horrible news and will be AFK for a bit. I'm sure you can tell this is a pretty loose detention. Just don't blow anything up. I'll be back later to release you. I'm back. Play this funny for me, ok? I need cheered up.

Visitors are welcome during LUNCH only.


The Danger Room has been programmed to resemble the press briefing room at the White House. On each chair is the student's name on an etched brass plaque. Make sure you only sit in the chair with your name on it.

At the ends of each rows are thick folders rubber banded to a large stack of books. Behind the lectern is a white pull down screen covering the seal of the United States of America.

CJ stands at the lectern, wearing her glasses. She looks up as the students enter the room and checks their name off the list.

Honor System, Gang. If YOU know you have detention, please serve it. Not all the teachers submitted information, or else there were late additions. Thanks.

Ok. It's Saturday. It's detention. I'm supposed to mention about your wicked, wicked ways...yeah, not going to do that. Work harder. Quit screwing around. In some misguided attempt to keep you all sane and alive I signed up for this gig, so let's make the best of a bad situation, and make CJ happy, ok? [She smiles]

All right gang, this is going to be as painless or as painful as you choose for it to be. I want you in groups of not more than four. You each have a different stack of information. These are reports that are sent to the government so we can decide what to give money to. We had an intern, Winnie, and she's read them all and briefed me on them.

Your detention, since most of you are here for not doing your homework, is to consolidate the information, come up with a coherant presentation, and then get up here and present your findings to the rest of us. If you do it well, single moms and garbagemen get to keep on making a living. If not, you damage the environment, poison the masses, and generally create hell on Earth and destroy our noble Democracy as we know it.

But first, we're going to watch a couple films to help orient you to politics as I know and love them.

[Walks to the back, flips off the lights, and starts an old fashioned reel projector. Footage of the Kennedy-Nixon debates flashes on the screen at the front of the room and the lights dim so they can watch.]

I will post sub threads for different detention activities through the day.

Kennedy-Nixon Debates

Re: Watch The Film

Veronica signs in, sits in her assigned chair and watches the film.

Re: Watch The Film

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor came in with his Bright One Phoebe. He didn't see his name, but shrugged and signed in anyway.

Re: Watch The Film

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory sighs, settling into a seat and setting Logan-the-bunny on the desk in front of her.

He looks annoyed.

Re: Watch The Film

[teen-twin.livejournal.com]

Connor signs in, very sleepy, and settles to watch the movie.

Re: Watch The Film

[nightsmoonchild.livejournal.com]

Oz signs in and scratches his head. He sits to watch the movie, and hopes he can stay awake.

Re: Watch The Film

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka signed in and settled in to watch debates about people she'd never heard of and couldn't care less about. Talking to Buffy, convincing her she's not going to hurt her and that this assignment will be OK were foremost in her thoughts.

She smiled at CJ, though, grateful it was she and not - she shuddered - Drusilla again.

Report on Parasitic shellfish in non-native waters: Tiny clams of mussels that are taking over the Great Lakes

Re: Group 2 -- Belthazor and Phoebe sign up

[demonbelthazor]

There were plenty of parasitic demons that Belthazor had experience with. He could handle this topic, he figured. He and Phoebe signed up.

Group 3

First 4 to sign up. Your topic is--

Report on study of Route 66: Condition and traffic flow of America's oldest trans-continental highway.

Re: Group 3

Oz shrugs and signs up for this one.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

First 4 to sign up. Your topic is--

Report on use of Pell Grants for the incarcerated: Scholarships for convicts

Re: Group 4

[teen-twin.livejournal.com]

Connor's not sure why this topic appeals to him more than any other, but he signs up to work on this one and waits for others to join him.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

First 4 to sign up. Your topic is--

Report on the economic feasibility of government subsidies for corn farmers and the wholesale marketing by the USDA of processed high fructose corn syrup.

Re: Group 5

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

*sits down at the Group 5 table, and motions for Anders to come over, before picking up one of the papers and starts reading*

Chatter

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

I know you're going to talk...

Re: Chatter

[demonbelthazor]

Are we allowed to talk? Because, you know, people got in trouble for it last detention.

OOC

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Questions, concerns, comments?

Re: OOC

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

I'll be around sporadically today - I had plans to thoroughly clean my apartment this weekend as I'm having guests next weekend.

Also, Phoebe & Buffy mun had to go to the hospital last night for her migraine, so not sure if either will make it today.

[and sorry for the deleted comment, but i didn't notice the ooc thread until after i posted!]

Presentation 1

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Group 1, you're on.

Re: Presentation 1

[kimberly-shaw.livejournal.com]

Kimberly and Evie do a presentation on solid waste that is...boring as crap.

*rimshot*




Thank you, I'll be here all week. Sorry, blew my creative wad below. ;)

Presentation 2

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Group 2, you're on.

Re: Presentation 2 - Working Out the Kinks

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor looked over at Beka. "Let's just get this over with. You need to warm up?"

Presentation 3

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Group 3, you're on.

Re: Presentation 3

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Right, so." Jack looks uncomfortable, then claps his hands. "Rock for Route 66. Raise funds to beautify, and improve, and... uh..."



_{[godmodded by request]}

Presentation 4

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Group 4, you're on.

Re: Presentation 4

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory smiles at Professor Cregg and Logan...who looks sleepy.

"Um, okay, so...we're going to do a little game show thing. Connor is the host, and Veronica, Parker and I are contestants."

Presentation 5

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Group 5, you're on.

Re: Presentation 5

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

*stands, chewing the end of a pen and still trying not to think about Anders and corn syrup*

Okay, well, Corn subsidies are kinda dumb. The current system, which involves paying farmers to not grow corn, doesn't really make sense, and isn't beneficial in the long run. *looks at Anders to continue the presentation*

Not In Detention

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Although there is no viewing deck anymore, I know there are sneaky people who want to watch and comment. Do it here.

Re: Not In Detention

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack checks the list one more time, then cheers. Apparently, Professor Drusilla forgot to list him.

He goes running out into the light of day, all happy and getting ready for the trip to the plotting zoo the next day.

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

*comes in late, rumpled, and with a slightly smug grin on his face*
*takes a seat, humming quietly*

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

LUNCH (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/255494.html?thread=12510214#t12510214)

(frozen comment) LUNCH

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Ching Tai has delivered. Come get some and have a nice break. Outsiders may come say Hi in THIS THREAD ONLY.

(frozen comment) Re: LUNCH

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Thank *god* they don't require us to eat cafeteria food in Detention. That'd be right up there with getting injected with gremlin spit."

TIMELINE

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Lunch is done...go to your groups presentation threads, work out any kinks, and get to entertaining me! Let's go gang.

Re: TIMELINE

[teen-twin.livejournal.com]

I've got to run for those *gasp* RL plans. Which means I can't actively participate in the presentation threads, I won't be back till way later. But, Oz and Connor participated in the researching/talking threads, so...hopefully I covered the bases with them.

Oz is in group three with Jack O'Neill who is already modded by Parker!mun, but I gave modding rights for him as well.

Connor is in group 4 with Parker, Veronica, and Rory. Modding rights given to them for the presentation.

DETENTION DISMISSED

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Please finish up your presentation threads and you are excused as of 5pm.

Re: DETENTION DISMISSED

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Um, Professor...may I have Logan back?"

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

Roy enters and sits down for detention, mentally groaning at the idea of a group presentation.

[[ooc: I've been unable to log on today until now (8:57pm pacific); can I still get attendance credit?]]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

It's all good. Considers you here all day.
