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.]

"Compared to how much there is to know about Justice, who does know anything? The Supreme Court does, sure, but there are seven of them to pool their knowledge!

Rory helps out with directing the class discussion. And grading. Egads, is she ever a superhero when it comes to grading!"

Rory actually blushes at the praise, and grins.

"Oh, it's no big deal," she says bashfully. "And it's fun, anyway. The grading, I mean. It's not every day I get to use fourteen different pens."

"Oh, it's a big deal! One test I tried grading by myself nearly killed me!" Tick glanced at Rory and quickly added, "Uh, metaphorically speaking, that is."

"I think I understand. And Rory is certainly capable of succeeding at whatever she puts her mind to; I'm glad she has been given the opportunity to grow here. What type of material are you covering in the class?"

"Since this is an introductory-level class, it's largely discussion on what these kids' views on crime and justice area. They come from really different backgrounds, so it's really pretty interesting!"

Tick pondered for a moment, trying to normalize his recent classes a little. "We've been looking at real-world cases recently. A couple weeks ago, we were talking about this weird case in Arizona, and another one in Colorado. It's really pretty wacky, the stuff that happens out there!"

"Ah yes, this is quite an International school. And I can only imagine what kind of cases you were discussing," Emily frowns. "People out there still think it is the Wild West. You can see why our family prefers the East Coast."

"From what I've seen on this Boat of Life, the whole darn world is pretty wild. The key is to find which current is the best for you, whether you're the kind of person who likes the roaring rapids, or if you like the gentle stream. You're just trying not to fall out and get soaked!"

"I suppose you are correct, Mr. Tick. Well, it has been lovely meeting you. Thank you for your time. Come along Rory," she turns to Rory, heading for the door.

"Enjoy your time here, Mrs. Gilmore! See you later, Rory!"
