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.

Veronica waffles, but says that she lives with her dad now and that her mom left a few years ago. She doesn't go into details about why.

"And do you think your upbringing has anything to do with these crimes?" Connor asks.

Rory shakes her head, as does Parker.

Veronica also shakes her head.

"Where you ever taught about appropriate social interaction in school?," Connor asks.

Rory nods, and tells about how she went through kindergarten and was taught to share and et cetera. Parker agrees (a trifle sulkily).

Veronica also tells her experiences through school and being taught about normal social interaction.

She fails to mention anything regarding Lilly, GHB, Shelley Pomeroy's party or Logan, though she feels his little bunny eyes staring at her while she's talking.

Connor asks them a final question. "Why do you feel the need to commit your crimes?"

Rory thinks, and replies, "Because I can."

Parker nods. "Same."

Re: Presentation 4

"Same."

"Um. I guess we can go now?" Rory asks, turning to Veronica.

Re: Presentation 4

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I guess," Veronica says. She waves to Connor and Parker.

"I'm going to wait for Beka though," she adds. "I need to talk to her about something. Nice working with you. Um, have fun with your bunny," she grins.

Re: Presentation 4

Rory rolls her eyes. "I'll do what I can," she says, smiling. "Have a nice evening."

"I'll see you guys later."
