Quantum Physics 123: Wednesday 26 October

[The Doctor still smells vaguely of smoke, even though his hair's still damp from the shower.]

Hello, everyone. ~~Beatings~~ Presentations will continue until morale improves. Jack and Cally's was quite good, and while I don't expect you to have building blocks on hand, I'm certain that the rest of you can come up with something equally brilliant.

carter_i_am, you're excused from this assignment, but could you see me after class to talk about your project?

[He has appropriated the library scene from the diorama. It looks like the Lego™ version of himself is kicking some plastic zombie arse ~~to the awe of the wee librarian and speech professor~~.]

Hank walks into the classroom and approaches the Doctor before class officially begins.

"I apologize for my absence last class period, Doctor. I forgot which section I was in, which is inexcusable. I understand that I may have missed making a presentation last time and would like to know whether I have detention this weekend or not."

[The Doctor's eyebrow raises, and he sets minifig!Ten down onto the desk. His voice is serious.]

I don't give out detentions, Mr McCoy. Not my style.

However, you'll need to make up the presentation work somehow. I'd like you to write a fictional account of the consequences if an event at Fandom High had ended differently. Zombie Weekend and the weapons ban are already taken.

I'm certain this won't happen again, hm?

"Thank you for your leniency, Doctor. I will of course attend all further classes.

"When should I turn in the paper?"

After receiving the answer, Hank sits and watches the day's presentation(s).

I have office hours all day on Friday. As these presentations were impromptu, I don't expect a fully-fleshed work of brilliance--I want to see how you think on your feet. Please turn it in then. Thank you, Mr McCoy.

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."

[The Doctor attempts to hide a smile.] Very good use of available materials, Mr Crichton. And your attention to detail is commendable.

Tell me, what do you think would have occurred had there been restriction of magic users along with the weapons ban?

John's still panting a bit. "With magic, I think it might have depended on the skill and/or ability. For instance, wands could've easily been taken away. But things like wings? Not so easily taken away. It might've been best to draw up some kind of document that all magic users who couldn't just give their abilities and/or instruments away (wands and such) to not use them in a threatening fashion. Yeah, whose to say they wouldn't use them but this is about the only thing you could do for someone who has their ability attached to them."

John pauses for a moment. "I think a lot of weapons users were upset by the lack of attention to the magic users. Even just saying that they had a restriction on the use of their magic might've alleviated the magic user/weapon user tension."

[He crosses his arms in front of him, listening. When Crichton is done, he nods.] Fairly good objective thinking. Thank you very much.

[Then he picks up a pen and scribbles something down in his notebook.]

Jessica pops into the classroom, somewhat belatedly, and nods to the professor.

"My turn," she says. "I get to take care of the stringent ban part. Now, for the most part, the school settled down a bit after the ban. However, for a while, any accidents or surprises might have led to nothing less than total paranoia, particularly for those at school who do not regularly return home to get away from the chaos. Concealed weapons might have been smuggled into the school." Jessica then proceeds to do an admirable imitation of Mr. Bean ((I don't know if you've ever watched those, but there's this one episode where he's at an airport and puts his hand into his coat. The police come out and say "put your weapon down!" and he takes his hand and puts it on the ground...lol))

"Of course, the teachers would suspect something, and sooner or later Professor Jerusalem would probably burst something and close down the school." She holds up a sign with a picture of the school and an imitation of Spider's handwriting ("Stay away. Angry dog inside fence.")

"Professor, you wanted to speak with me about the project?" She can't help smiling at the wee Lego library. It seems to be missing a little redheaded Lego girl ordering the librarian around.

[The Doctor puts mini!him back in the library, where it is posed to slash a zombie in half horizontally.] Ms Carter. Yes. Do sit down.

Sam sits. "Did Professor Sidle speak with you?"

She sent me an email, giving her permission. I'll get you officially registered this afternoon.

[He bites on the end of a pen.] I must admit, though, that since you're working on a rather high level, that I was thinking...would you prefer an independent study, so that you can do this collaboration with Professor Eppes? What you're proposing is definitely beyond what we're doing here at the introductory level.

((Mun's off to lunch and class, back later!))

Sam considers this proposal and runs an absent hand through her hair. "I'm not sure. I like being in class and participating and discussing physics with other people, but I see what you mean about that project. I don't want to take too much on, but I don't want to be bored, either."

((Have fun!))

Here's a solution--why don't you come and sit in on class, but you wouldn't have to write any of the papers. The project itself would be grade enough. Perhaps you and I and Professor Eppes could meet on Friday to discuss things?

Sam grinned and resisted the urge to do a victory dance. "Yes, thank you, that would be perfect! And Friday is great--my Friday morning Classics class has been cancelled for good, so I only have one class on Fridays now that I've dropped Physics."

"This is something I've been looking forward to working on for quite some time, and I'm thrilled that I'm going to have people like you and Professor Eppes guiding me on it."

[The Doctor blushes slightly.] Why, thank you, Ms Carter. I look forward to it as well. I'll speak with Professor Eppes and arrange a time.

"Thank you so much, sir."

((zomg. Someone's not obsessed.))

~~I hate you all.~~

~~that's not what you said yesterday.~~

*signs in, and sits down to watch everyone else's presentations*

*Jack signs in, grins at the lego library, and proceeds to mock-flirt with Cally all class long*

*does a headstand*
