Criminal Justice Open Classroom, Saturday

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The Tick is at his desk, ready to greet any parent, sibling, guardian, cousin, uncle, aunt, grandparent, employer, mentor, pet, or anybody else who could roughly be defined as "family" of his students. He is wearing a tie. The Tick recognizes that he looks a little different from the other teachers around here, so he bought what he will assure anyone is a hypnotic tie that makes people ignore the fact that he is a very large man in blue tights with antennae sticking out of his head.

For the record, the tie is not actually hypnotic.

"Students! Parents and/or other assorted family of students! I welcome you to Criminal Justice! I am Professor Tick, and I teach!"

[OOC: Massive apologies to anyone attempting to interact with me in here. SBC chose today to have issues all over the area. I will be here all day, though, unless Tick sees something really shiny.]

Ivanova pops into the classroom. "Hello, Tick. How goes the saving the world business? I brought my guardian by to introduce him. You might say that he's also on C.R.A.C.K. Or at least, the way they do it back home."

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello! The world saving is going relatively slow, but still as fast as it takes to impart knowledge of Justice upon my students. No supervillians, as of now, though."

Tick perked up. His first guardian! Sure, it wasn't the guardian of one of his students, but a first is a first! "Well, bring him in!"

"He was right . . ." Ivanova looks behind her and sighs. "Curiosity is going to kill the Narn. He's like a child with a piece of tinfoil. Running after everything shiny and new. Sorry, he was right behind me. I'm sure he'll catch up."

The Tick sees no problem with running after shiny things. He decides not to mention this, but if one were familiar enough with antennae body language, one would figure it out. "Well, feel free to bring him by whenever you find him."

"I will." As she's on the way out, Ivanova stops. "By the way, the ducks are being well-fed. And a family of geese appear to have moved in."

G'Kar wanders in, distractedly looking around himself at everything in the room. "Excuse me, but have you seen Susan around? I seem to have lost her?"

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Why, yes, she just left, though."

Rory and Emily are walking past Tick's classroom. "Oh, and um, this is the Criminal Justice classroom," Rory says, waving a hand vaguely. "Um, I TA for the teacher, but I don't think he's here..." She glances in, and upon seeing that he actually is there, attempts to rush Emily along.

"Rory!" Emily exclaims. "I want to see your classroom, at least. The room is open, can't hurt to have a look" she mutters, grabbing Rory's hand. "Although why you are a TA for a Criminal Justice class I'll never understand."

Tick saw the Gilmores by the door. "Rory! Hello! And who is this?"

[OOC: Apologies if responses take a little bit. My internet connection is bad today.]

"It seemed like a good opportunity," Rory murmurs, looking pained as Emily drags her in.

"Um. Hello, sir," she says, smiling nervously. "Um, this is my grandmother, Emily Gilmore. Grandma, this is Professor...Tick."

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Mrs. Gilmore! Rory has been a great help in my class. She's a very bright girl!"

[e-gilmore.livejournal.com]

Emily's eyes could not be open wider if you taped them to her forehead. She looks at Tick, "Are you dressed up for Halloween early too?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nods vehemently at Tick from slightly out of Emily's view.

Tick saw Rory nodding just after he mentioned the tie (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/290220.html?thread=14332588#t14332588). "Err, I'm just kidding, of course! Heh."

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no, ma'am. I'm only wearing the tie because it's a special occasion." The Tick smiled.

[e-gilmore.livejournal.com]

Emily laughs. "Oh, wit is such a lost art. That's very funny, Mr. Tick. What an unusual last name you have. Is that Dutch?"

Thanks to the damn monkey, Jaye feels the need to bring Sharon to the Criminal Justice classroom. "Hi, Mr. The Tick," she greets him.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Jaye! And who is this with you?"

[fates_jaye]

"Just a vagrant I picked up. My good deed for the day," Jaye shrugs.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello, kindly vagrant!" Tick says to Sharon. "How are you enjoying your stay inside these warm halls of academia?"

[fates_jaye]

Jaye snickers, and sits on top of a desk.

Sharon rolls her eyes. "Ignore her. I'm her sister, and that's Jaye's way of distancing herself from the fact that we share genes. Sharon Tyler, nice to meet you. So you're Jaye's...Criminal Justice teacher?"

Sharon eyes Jaye speculatively. "This isn't your method of finding ways around the laws, is it?"

Sharon suddenly realizes there's something distinctly odd about Jaye's "teacher." "Um. It's wonderful to see people with alternative lifestyles (http://www.livejournal.com/users/fates_jaye/1524.html?thread=40948#t40948) so, so open about it. Just...how does the school deal with...uh, parental disapproval?"

[fates_jaye]

"Hey, I'm just here to learn about nifty keen justice," Jaye says, swinging her legs. Occasionally her foot will hit one of the legs of the desk just to see what reaction it gets.

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Sharon! It's a pleasure to meet you! Jaye has been an excellent participant in my class. She really brings a fresh spin to all of our discussions!"

Tick had no clue what Sharon was talking about with the lifestyles thing. "All lifestyles are welcome here. Deathstyles, too, technically." Tick smiled as he pondered that.

"I'm really not sure about parental disapproval. I imagine you'd have to take it up with Dean Bristow or Professor Spider Jerusalem."
