Wednesday, Period Three: What was the school board thinking giving Jamie Madrox a teaching position?

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

The first thing students might notice when they walked into the classroom would probably be the fact that the classroom was already full.

The next thing the would probably notice is that the classroom was full of Jamie Madroxes. All of them had their hands in the air screaming "OOO! OOO! MR. MADROX! MR. MADROX!"

In front of the class, was the teacher leaning against the desk. "What is it class? Why are you so excited? Is it because it's the first day of class with me? Your teacher? The often duplicated and always replicated Jamie Madrox?"

The class in one voice all shouted "NO!"

Jamie's face frowned at the comment. That wasn't how it was supposed to go. "Then what is it?"

"WE ALL HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!"

Jamie groaned and in a blink of an eye all the duplicates were pulled towards and absorbed into himself.

"Have a seat everyone," Jamie said motioning the class to take a seat. "We're going to keep this simple. As some of you may know, I was a student here. Possibly... a troublesome student."

That would be putting it mildly.

"And the one thing I know is that at this point in the week, most of you have introduced yourself. To your new roommate. To your new classmates. To your new teachers. To your old teachers. And the week is just about half over. So I don't want to hear who you are. I don't want you why you are here. I don't want to know what you expect to get out of this class."

"Instead? I want you to make stuff up. For the class today I want you to come up with the silliest identity you can come up with and then for your homework use it for each class and person you meet for the rest of the week. The more bizarre the better. Annnnnd for extra credit you can go introduce yourself to either Principal Washburn, Vice Principal Deadpool or Professor Skywalker. Need help? Let me give you an example:"

Jamie cleared his throat. "My name is Patches Jai-A-Lai Dinglefishpie. I was born in the wagon of a traveling show. My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw. Papa would do whatever he could. Preach a little gospel and sell a few bottles of Doctor Good."

Suddenly there was a group of dupes standing behind Jamie. And they sang:

Gypsies, tramps and thieves!
We'd hear it from the people of the town!
They'd call us gypsies, tramps and thieves!
But every night all the men would come aroooooound
And lay their money doooooooooooooown!

Jamie chuckled and then absorbed his dupes again. Yes. He was showing off.

"All right. That was my fake introduction. Let's hear yours."

Listen! Chat! And complain if you're more of a Sonny Bono fan.

Angelica was just going to stare at Jamie. She wasn't expecting a mutant teacher. Or a crazy mutant teacher.

Claudia sat back, dumbfounded. She never would have believed it, but this was perhaps the weirdest first class she'd had in her entire time in Fandom.

Goose was rather confused, this wasn't the type of class that he had expected Commander Walsh to pick for him and now he actually wondered if it was his guardian who had in fact picked this class out for him to take.

Sam was pretty glad he was used to insanity from his classes because that meant he could take the multiple versions of his professor in stride and laugh it off. Good thing education wasn't critical for him.

Annie was just left staring.

Somehow she felt unprepared for this.

Dave really wasn't sure this wasn't some kind of trick. Were there video cameras somewhere?

Ben wasn't unfamiliar with the idea of clones, but clones that could be sucked back into a person? That was new.

Warren was right up there with the best of them, doing a fair bit of staring.

Being able to duplicate himself would be a pretty handy power. But being able to duplicate himself into a bunch of guys who seemed hell-bent on making life difficult for him?

Maybe hollow bones weren't all that bad, in comparison.

Oh boy... This was going to be... interesting.

"Um. I'm Angelica Jones," Angelica said lamely, unable to come up with a fake name on the fly. "I'm...from the future. Where I'm a fashion model. And, um, I fight crime."

She sank back down in her seat, feeling foolish.

Scully stared at all this, floored. Exhaled. Then gave it her best shot.

"Diana 'Boom-Boom' Lefsky. I'm a ... roller derby enthusiast. I--" She looked at her nails, then shrugged. "Have been cursed by a gremlin to always need a manicure. And on Sundays, I take soup to the Jersey Devil, so she'll give me grooming tips."

That was a mish-mash of about half a dozen true things, and it would be more convincing if Scully didn't still sound like she worked for the FBI.

"Cara." Improvisation in this area was not someone's strong point.

"Serendipity," Claudia started, because it was always best to lead with one's stripper name, "Seredipity Doo-Wop Meowlita Harrison-Smith-Jones the fifth." Because Jamie clearly wasn't the sort to not go for the overkill. "I'm the deposed Priestess-Monarch of the fifth kingdom of Bithmalala . . . lalalalalalalaloo, just east-south-north-west of Azerbaijan in the mysterious Flandibble mountain range. We were a peaceful island nation until we were invaded by the Indo-Canuck warlord . . . Nielsonian . . . of the planet Kuzbane." She was never going to be able to keep track of all this. "In my spare time I like to redact letters to zoo tigers?"

"I'm Franklin Roosevelt, the thirty second president of the United States, now reincarnated into the body of a teenager," Sam went with, coming up with the introduction easily. "I wish I was a little taller, I wish I was a baller, and I wish I had a girl who looked good, I'd call her. I'm gonna do everything in this body that I couldn't do in my own. Look out girls, FDR's on the prowl!"

That was just weird to say but hey, it worked.

"My name is Sven. Just Sven," Dave said, somewhat unconvincingly. He was still trying to figure out what exactly was going on here. "And I wrestle donkeys. For profit. I'm a donkey wrestler."

There were times when Billy could be creative, but after watching the Madroxes bounce around the room, he was kind of speechless. "I'm Billy...Altman," he said uncertainly. "I'm a prince from the 12th century, but I've gotten kind of used to electricity and not going everywhere on horseback, so I'm trying to figure out how to bring technology home with me."

What the hell, right?

"I'm Grand Master Whango Mittphool, recently returned from my self-imposed exile in a giant pit where I learned to make the 3,000 sacred forms of balloon animals from my invisible teacher who looked a lot like a rabbit," Ben said. "I can also kill people with nothing more than a piece of green construction paper, a stapler, and a can of wasp spray."

The TA!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Another set of dupes appeared and one of them handed a sealed envelope to Jamie.

"And now the moment you've all been waiting for! Our TA is the one... the only... the fabulous... the person we chose out of a hat: Claudia Donavan!"

The dupes all cheered and whistled. A Paper crown from burger king was produced.

"Claudia! Come down and accept your crown!"

Re: The TA!

[notmyownage]

Claudia blinked, then glanced around as though there might be some other Claudia Donovan in the class.

"Uh. Well then." She got up. "So long as I get a crown."

Talk with Jamie!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

He's over there. And over there. And over there. And under the desk. And in the closet. And on the table...

Apparently Dinglefish pie is a real pie. Made of fish.

I ain't eating it.

Also I was still writing this when Kenzi-mun posted her class with the same topic.

Eh. Screw it. Great minds, right?
