Quantum Physics 123: Monday 24 October

[The Doctor has warm non-alcoholic drinks for everyone today. He smiles and seems ridiculously pleased with himself.]

Hello, everyone. I hope your projects from last week went well.

Today I want to throw an impromptu presentation at you, based on your project. My apologies to those of you who were in detention this week, but that's life for you--unfair. You'll have 20 minutes to plan it, and then each group will present their findings. I want these to be as interesting as possible--you can present however you wish--but please take your classmates' possible ~~hangups~~ triggers into consideration.

All right, have at it. You will be graded not only on your presentation but how well you prepare, so please ~~for the love of GOD~~ try to stay on topic.

Get yourselves together.

Jack wonders if presenting a Lego diorama of a Fandom High overrun with zombies would be a good presentation.

*If Cally could read Jack's mind, she'd totally tell him it would be a great presentation*

Hey... what're we gonna do?

Well... I have my legos on me. We could build a model of Fandom High as though it had been overrun with zombies, if we had enough time ~~or a time machine to give us a half an hour extra time~~.

[[OOC: No, I have no idea why I'm abusing this lego thing. But it amuses me.]]

Maybe if we work together and really fast, we can do it? I'm good with my hands. *nods*

Cool. If Sonia gets here, we might be able to add some of the town or something. This could be fun.

*starts putting together lego zombies*

Hey, this is pretty fun. How come you've not invited me over to play with you before? *giggle*

*laughs at the lego zombies* You know, we should institute a regular lego night. See what you can build with these things.

*puts together a Lego Doctor complete with giant sword. Positions it so it is decapitating a Lego zombie*

You could probably do anything with 'em, really. Lego night, huh? I like the way you think.

You are so sucking up to the teacher with that one. And yeah, lego night. Can't be anything too weird or trippy about legos, right?

Hey, sucking up to the Teacher is always a good idea. *leans in to whisper*

Especially when it's a cute teacher.

But yeah. Nothing weird or trippy about Legos, unless they somehow get cursed or something.

*shoots a quick glance at the Doctor* You have a point. Now I'm trying to imagine what cursed legos would do. If you built lego people, would they come to life?

That could either be really cool, or really disturbing. Especially cause they're so small. It could be like some disturbing Gullivers Travels nightmare of doom. *starts work on Lego replica Fandom High building*

If zombies want to eat brains, would cursed legos want to eat plastic? *helps build tower*

Plastic brains, maybe? Atleast we'd be safe. *nods* Maybe cursed legos wouldn't be so bad. *finishes half of the building*

Not so bad, but not exactly something I would pick, personally.

*finishes the building*

Hey, not bad, huh? Not exactly color coordinated, but it'll do. *laughs* You are a genius.

*I'm* a genius? You've got magic hands. It's great. Okay, I suppose we should do the presentation now, right?

Right. You start, and I'll just pick it up from when you leave off, okay? *smiles*

[ooc: ~~*is so sad Jack hasn't made one bit of innuendo this whole conversation*~~]

[OOC: Aw, I'm sorry. *innuendos all over Cally to make up for it*]

[OOC: *cries cos Mon-Tues is crazy and she can never get online to join the fun*

*contemplates buying legos*]

((YES. Yes, it would. And having a wee Doctor with a sword would gain you extra credit points.))

Jessica looks around for her partner.

John slips into class and sits down. "Hey. Presentations, huh?"

(ooc: That's fine, I'm still working on the Journalism thing.)

"So, do we wanna do something with what would've happened had their been no weapons ban and had the weapons ban been strictly enforced?"

"Sounds good."

"Okay. So, for the non weapons ban, should we just mime a massive weapons war? And for the stringent ban, should we act out paranoia, concealed weapons, and tension among the school?"

((We'll say that Jack and Cally's presentation took the rest of the period. Feel free to prep things out here and present today, no penalties.))

((Thanks. Appreciate it. Work sucks. So do timezones.))

((ooc: Hey, I know, let's make a puppet show and throw a beach ball and pretend that's the...-_-;; At any rate, I've just seen your comments on today's class, so I'll go jump in there.))

((Heh, I had to get it in because I didn't know if I'd be on tonight. I just took half of it.))

Entertain me and I might give you an A.

Okay. This is our model of Fandom High. With this model, we can point out what happened on Zombie Weekend, and the way that things could have changed. You see, if the zombies attacked from *here* (pointing to specific section of model*) it would have been a lot harder to channel them through our first and second lines, and they might have infiltrated the school a lot more.

And in that case, our heroes *points at wee Lego Doctor with Claymore* wouldn't have been able to fend off the zombies as well, and therefore, we could've all become Zombie lunch.

Or, in another scenario, we all could've holed up in the semmingly safe dorms. However in that case, when the food ran out, we'd end up having to eat eachother. Like cannibals. Which wouldn't be cool.

~~Cally is such the suck up.~~

Because eating each other would be like zombies trying to eat out brains. Ew.

Now, if Scooter hadn't flooded the school, we could have had more casualties before Coach Ash stormed the tower. *points, a bit unnecessarily, to the tower* Of course, if Coach Ash hadn't stormed the tower, we might *still* be fighting zombies.

Indeed, Jack. Good work, both of you--several shades of gray to which things could have turned, so to speak.

What do you think could have happened had there been more casualties? What sort of subtle things could have changed here at Fandom High?

Well, even one casualty could have completely altered everything that came afterwards, especially things like, say, Student Elections or Homecoming. We might have a totally different Council, or I might never have been Queen. Stuff like that.

Excellent. Thank you both for putting plenty of thought into the assignment. [He sits back down, smiles at them both, and makes a few more notes.]

Well... if there had been more casualties, maybe people would have been a lot more scared about violence than they are. And the gun ban was very divisive, but maybe it would have been worse.

Also, perhaps a lot of the people who have moved into the town since then wouldn't have, so we wouldn't have a lot of the businesses we've got now.

Excellent. Thank you both for putting plenty of thought into the assignment. [He sits back down, smiles at them both, and makes a few more notes.]

I like the sword. Nice touch. [scribbles something on a piece of paper, then comes up to look at the diorama]

Did you depict the cannibals?

Sorry sir, we only had time to prepare the one diorama. Time constraints, and all that. *smiles, dopily*

[smiles at her, oblivious to her crush] Not a problem, Ms Cally. I'm certain that would have gotten a bit complex for 20 minutes and four hands.

Yes sir. I think with a bit more time, we might have had working doors and windows, as well as the cannibals. *nods*

John steps up for his presentation.

"Uh, we discussed the weapons ban and what would happen if the weapons ban was never even brought up or instituted and what would happen if the weapons ban was strictly enforced."

"I'm gonna do the 'what if' for the weapons ban never being instituted."

John picks up several classroom supplies and puts them in the pockets of his pants. He then picks up two chair and carries them in his hands as if they're weaponss.

"WHAT?" He tries to make his voice as deep as possible. "You don't like me?" He then pumps the chair a few times and mocks a shooting gun. "No one calls me that!" He uses the other chair as a slashing sword and slashes the air.

"WHAT? You gave me a C on my paper?" John drops one of the chairs and snatches the stapler out of his pocket, shooting staples into the air. "Give me an A or I'll staple you!"

He continues doing this, making stupid threats to students, teachers, and admins with his 'weapons.'

Finally, out of breath, he puts the chairs down. "So, if the weapons ban had never been instituted in any kind of way, there would've been threats for stupid reasons, unnecessary fear, and the smell of gunpowder in the air."

((...Could you actually repost this in today's class?))

((Ack, sure! *headdesks*)

((No worries!))
