fandomhigh | Computers 101, 1st Period [Friday]

Since it made the most sense to him, Sam had taken over the computer lab for his workshop, and since it was the first time they were meeting, he'd made sure all the computers were on and ready to go when the students arrived.

His students. Yeah, that wasn't going to get old any time soon.

"Hey guys," he said, perching on the edge of the desk, since it made him a little less intimidatingly tall. "I'm Sam Winchester, and you all can call me Sam because I'm really not old enough to be Mr. Winchester yet. For those of you who don't know me, I graduated from Fandom last year after four seriously crazy and awesome years, so if you've ever wondered if it's possible to survive here for that long, it totally is. If you have any questions about this place, and not just about class, I'd be happy to talk to you." Because there were few things Sam loved more than talking about Fandom, the dork. "I'm going to be spending the next few weeks getting you guys more comfortable with computers, and/or showing you how to do stuff you don't normally do. Computers are a big part of the 21st century--which, granted, we're not in right now--but if you're going to stick around for a while, you should at least learn how to not be afraid of them."

Sam stood up so he could see everyone and smiled around at the class. "Since this is our first week, I figured we could do the introduction thing?" he said, sounding slightly uncertain, but hoping everyone would go with it. "So, names, when you're from, and how much computer experience you already have. Then, I'll show you how to set up a username and password for yourself, to use for the rest of the workshop."

Like you have a hot teacher. Not that the person writing this is biased or anything.

Name, when you're from (since that mattered to Sam a bit more at the moment than where you're from), and how much computer experience you already have.

Sam went through step-by-step to show everyone how to make their own username and password for the computers.

Don't worry, he won't judge anyone for silly usernames. Making it unique and easy to remember was kind of the point!

Before or after class.

There will be return pings after my own school day. Whee!

Caroline Forbes

Topher Brink

Topher was going to kill his parents for signing him up for this. Clearly it had been some kind of appeal to his computer obsession, but the 101 part? Not working for him.

"Hey," he said. "Topher Brink, and it's 2001 back home. And not to mess up the whole introductory level thing, but I can program software in my sleep, so..."

Topher was done with his username and password before Sam had even gotten to step two.

He was obnoxious like that.

Nobody Owens

"Hullo. I'm Nobody Owens but I go by Bod since it's less confusing," he started, giving everyone a nod. "I'm from present time but I was raised in a graveyard by ghosts and they didn't have a real need for any sort of technology like televisions and computers so I didn't start to use a computer until about a year ago and I still don't really know what to do with them. As far as experience, I can turn the computer on and navigate the internet but not much more than that."

Bod paid close attention to Sam's instructions and then wrote them down before setting to work creating a username. He ended up with graveyardboy which wasn't super creative but it was true.

"Hi!" Caroline greeted the class and the totally hot professor with a bright smile. "My name is Caroline Forbes and I'm from the present, which means I can like, already use the computer and surf the web and all that stuff the junior high lab teacher droned on about. Um, not that I think you're going to drone on, Sam. I'm pretty sure you could read to us from the dictionary and class would be awesome, so we'll just go with me having experience and my mentor signing me up for this class because he still calls it a scary magic box." Right.

Caroline was a good student, hanging on Sam's every word as she wondered how he got his hair to do that whole messy but sexy thing. Oh right, and she made a username and password that she would surely forget and need special help with next week.

Surreal SaDiablo

"Surreal, and I do not think that I understand the question," she replied. "I am from now, since I am here, but this is not my Realm." Which was probably pretty obvious, given her clothing (http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm282/barish_badal_2008/jajee/mix%20bolllywood/tn_13Aug07-950853928.jpg).

"...so this should be an easy class," Sam said with a sympathetic look. "Maybe you'll know how to do stuff differently than I do? Or you can program. Good programs, I mean, not anything dangerous."

"That's a good start," Sam said encouragingly, trying not to think about how mean Bod's parents were to give him his name. "Have you figured out yet that there's stuff to watch out for on the internet?"

"Yes, sir," Bod replied, nodding. "Of course, I really don't use computers enough to have to be on high alert but I've read books on the technology so I know they can be infected by things just as a human can."

One might think that after enough years, Sam would realize when someone thought he was attractive, but alas, he was still pretty oblivious. "Well, maybe when we're done here, you can show your mentor how it's neither scary nor magic. I mean, not too magical," he said. "I hope I end up being as interesting as you want."

Bobby McCallister

"Hi! I'm Bobby McCallister," he said enthusiastically. "It's 2006 at home, and computers are awesome. I can use them and write programs and stuff. ...Jack calls me a nerd, but it's not a bad thing, right?"

Totally, it was a bad thing.

Bobby had his username and password set up almost instantly. But then he went back and changed his password over and over to make sure it was strong enough.

Seifer Almasy

"Seifer Almasy, and I'm pretty sure my world is on line with this one, but it would take higher physics classes than I've taken to figure it out. Pretty much everything in my world is computerized now, but I don't know the systems here. So I guess it's a good thing I was put in this class."

He paused and gestured at his laptop. "What sort of idiotic masochist designed this Windows system anyway?"
